@mkstayontarget.bsky.social @onecreditclassics.bsky.social I know you were taking about Lee Van Cleef but I'm taking "Everyone favourite cowboy turned half blind ninja" as my social media tag line now

In this Patreon podcast, Ben & Michiel read and react to the e-mails that did not make the cut of the main show, making for a wild grab bag of topics to go over... from the Care Bears movie to the life and times of Noel Gallagher's favorite dinosaur.

40 years ago I was busy reviewing this bunch of joysticks. The Competition Pro was the one to buy, of course, but the Euromax Arcade was a very comfortable and excellent all-round alternative (although the Turbo version's top fire button was pretty useless TBH).

I made a quick video of my game room. Nothing fancy. More or less a time capsule of a great day. 😊

Thanks for looking

Proud to say I served as service technician for many of the cabinets and machines on display at SEGA's K1speed takeover for #SDCC! I've been working with 100 Yen Life for months on this, really honored to have been a part of it! 🙂

It was tough to get this one out for a variety of reasons (one that is disclosed near the end of the pod), but it's here and I am very happy that it is. Hope you enjoy!

Our #arcadegames focused time capsule podcast has become too big for a single Patreon post and we had to cut our early releases in half. And since the first half is already completely edited, subscribers can now listen to it!

Who Did What At Irem: A (Semi-)Comprehensive Thread

Today, we're going to be doing a deepdive on one of the premier arcade giants of the 1980's. We're all familiar with enduring classics such as R-Type and In The Hunt, but who were the talented men & women that created them?

These are 4 of the STGs (other than our own) I've spent the most time with and/or cleared, with honorable mentions to Parodius Da, Radiant Silvergun, UN Squadron, Deathsmiles I & II, Terra Flame, Devil Blade Reboot, Dead End City and DoDonPachi.

Which #shmups do you have the most experience with?

Cotton Reboot is so good! And Metal black is a unique beast in so many ways. We covered it in our most recent @videowizardspod.bsky.social podcast!

Last year when I was in Tokyo, my friend @penpe.net gifted me a mysterious Japan-only #playstation 1 game that he had worked on.

Out now for everyone, it's the @caneandrinse.com podcast I was allowed to host about it! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did playing Segare Ijiri and talking about it. 😊

It's probably not happening before season 2 at the earliest... but I still hold out hope that Duck King will appear in City of the Wolves.
