Double Shift Podcast: The Last Best Era Pt. 1 - Here Comes the Challenger

Double Shift Podcast: Thrillhouse

Today we will talk about The Simpson's Video Games. Not actual real Video Games about The Simpsons that you or I can play in real life. Rather, the games that The Simpsons and the other residents of Springfield play. Game designers in the town of Springfield have the best job. They basically just say "It would be cool to make a game where you are a looter" or "what if there was a fighting game where parents fought each other at kids sporting games?" And who didn't want to "Just enter their name" into Bonestorm! Entering your name is Bonestorm alone is way more fun than a dumb old golf game (but you should play it anyways, since your mom got it for you for Christmas). And we'll talk about Simpsons Cereal...a little...barely remember it to be honest. So, break out the Dash Dingo game while you're home sick from school and hope you don't "Get Texas" and enjoy hearing us talk about a bunch of Video Games that don't even exist (but should)!

Double Shift Podcast: Dos You Even Dos, Bruh?

This week, we will talk about Dos games. We want to give you a synopsis of the episode, but we can't. You see...Dos games always required the user to answer a question, from a book that came with the game, in order to launch it. We have a similar book for our podcast, with all of the rules and hints and stuff like that. But we just can't find it... If we could find it, then we could tell you about some of the great games we will be talking about. Games about Kings and the various Quests that they go on. Games about Dungeons. Games about Dragons. Or games about Dungeons with no Dragons, despite the word Dragons being in the title. We would also tell you about Roger Rabbit and how sad we got when he didn't save the day. We could crack a tube of Peanuts and play some cards and reminisce about Lode Runner. We could tell you all about that stuff, IF we could just find that darn guidebook. Oh well...guess you'll just have to listen and be surprised about what we'll talk about this week...

Double Shift Podcast: The Last Best Era Pt. 3 - Fun Box

We're finally here. The end of the Last Best Era. With probably the best console in The Last Best Era. The Nintendo Gamecube. That's not to say that the Gamecube is the last best console...it might not even be the best Nintendo Console, let alone the last best one. Categorizing your memories can be confusing, and sometimes painful... BUT FEAR NOT! We will be talking all things Cube today. How they were so cheap that you could casually pick one up at the counter, last minute, like you would a candy bar. We'll talk about some of the most iconic games of all time. Mikey will make a promise to NEVER badmouth a first party Nintendo game ever again on this podcast. Let's see how long he can keep that promise. We'll also talk about food...and that get's confusing too...but we sort it out...we think. And don't worry...we know that we talk about old stuff a lot, but after this episode, we'll go back to talking about...(checks notes on next weeks episode...) Well, we'll be talking about Video Games...just a little bit...

Double Shift Podcast: The Last Best Era Pt.2- Why, Yes...I Play Station As Well!

This week on part two of "The Last Best Era" we talk about PS2. The Champion of the three consoles. This best seller gave us some bangers, too many to talk about in one episode. And Mikey wasted time by talking about GTA again, even though he said he wouldn't. That's fine...because we also talk about Burritos, exploiting the hard working people at Blockbuster Video and games, games, games! Gamefly may have to send their goons after us to collect their credit payment after they hear this episode (we never did find that Dead 2 Rights disc...)

Double Shift Podcast: The Last Best Era Pt. 1 - Here Comes the Challenger

The time is finally here. The moment that you all have been waiting for! Well...at least like 4 of you anyways. Mikey has been droning on and on and on and on and on and on (he needed help getting out of this loop) about the "Last Best Era" for video games. This is not only his opinion...oh wait, yes it is. Here what era it is (if you haven't been listening) and some of the reasons why. More importantly...remember some of the games from this last best era and finally answer the burning question, "Famous Mo...what's your favorite Mech?"
