Dreamcast Years

As is now our annual tradition, the Dreamcast Years gang (minus Rich, boo) recorded a special episode for RadioSEGA's [https://twitter.com/RadioSEGA] WinterFest [https://www.radiosega.net/news/sega/2021/12/radiosega-winterfest-2021-full-event-lineup/] event. This time, however, they were joined by James [https://twitter.com/AgileHarvey], Brian [https://twitter.com/VirtuaSchlub] and Lewis [https://twitter.com/LewisJFC] from The Dreamcast Junkyard [https://twitter.com/TheDCJunkyard] DreamPod [https://www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/p/podcast.html]! Who doesn't love a good crossover?! In Game Of The Year style everyone had one minute to pitch their favourite Dreamcast game, and even their favourite piece of music from said game. We ran a series of polls to decide which of the six pitches was the overall winner, and you can find the final result here [https://twitter.com/dreamcastyears/status/1473582624518066176?s=20]! What is YOUR favourite Dreamcast game?! Let is know on Twitter [https://twitter.com/dreamcastyears] or our Discord [https://discord.gg/9GyrxSZpz9]!

In our first Game Of The Year Edition of season two, join Andrew, Steve, Rich and Jason as they pitch their choices for the game of 2009. Enjoy another cracking forfeit for Rich, hear the gang talk about Bens choice of 2009 game, and find out what the winner of the 2008 poll has chosen for everyone to play by the next GOTY pod! Don't forget to vote on our Twitter poll [https://twitter.com/dreamcastyears/status/1452727492717027328?s=20] (or via Spotify if you're listening there), and you can throw us a few quid if you like what we do by going to https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dreamcastyears [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dreamcastyears].

Welcome back for season two of the Dreamcast Years Podcast! Joining Andrew, Steve and Rich is our new regular host Jason! Listen as they talk about what the world was like back in 2009, what media we were enjoying, and most importantly what games we were playing. Enjoy our new music, created by Mikko Peltonen, and our brand new (definitely not stolen) quiz! HUGE thanks to RJJ Software Ltd [https://rjj-software.co.uk] for editing this episode!

It's Game Of The Year time! In our 2008 edition, Andrew gives a horror game some love (shocker), Steve spends too much time explaining that 4 comes after 3 but before 5, Rich has his pitch well and truly messed with, and Ben has his BLOODY WINDOW OPEN! Honestly Ben... The gang also discuss Banjo Kazooie Nuts N Bolts, and Ben reveals the 2009 game they'll be chatting about next time! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the 2008 360 Banjo game, so please do let us know what you think. Also remember to vote in the poll [https://twitter.com/dreamcastyears/status/1409601873955508225?s=20] which will be open for 7 days after the episode airs on RadioSEGA [https://www.radiosega.net]. Your choice matters!

In this episode (which would have been the last of the golden years if we hadn't extended them), Andrew [https://twitter.com/oddment84] and Steve [https://twitter.com/SteveJek] are joined by Jay [https://twitter.com/podcasterJay] and Squidge from the wonderful Waffling Taylors [https://twitter.com/wafflingTaylors] podcast [https://wafflingtaylors.rocks]! As the final regular OG guests, they had a lot to live up to, and with all the tangents and jokes I'm sure you'll agree they were great fun. Listen as the foursome discuss all things 2008, cringe at Andrews song puns, cringe at Squidge explaining why Blue Stinger is his favourite Dreamcast game, and descend into madness. You love to hear it!
