Episode 106: The key moments in the history of the First Person Shooter genre.

In this episode we explore the first person shooter genre from its roots in the early 90s through the modern competitive esports era of today.  Matth3w joins us to give a youngling's perspective on the modern shooters.

Episode 105: The hardware and design processes that drive the video game industry.

This week our friend Sam "RetroReject" Hayes fills in for Dustin who is again off galivanting around the Forgotten Realms.  We discuss the hardware that has powered the video game industry, from the Golden Age of Arcades, through the Video Game Crash of 1983, the Console Wars, the transition to CD-ROM format, and other pivotal moments in video game history.  Note: We're sorry about the mic doubling that starts popping up 30ish minutes in... Definitely going to troubleshoot that this week.

Episode 104: We explore the D20 Roleplaying genre.

On this episode we are exploring the wide range of D20 system video games, beginning with their origins in tabletop gaming and traveling through time from D&D 2E, to ASCII, to Fallout, to BG3.  Sorry about the mic doubling... we had a little technological setback this week, but we'll be back to that sweet sweet Bayou Retreats studio sound next week.
