Steve-B presented by Bib Fortuna (feat. Kirby Air Riders, Dispatch, and Pokemon Lazarus)
Into the Aether - A Low Key Video Game Podcast
GameCube legacy and Air Ride's cult
Stephen and Brendon reflect on GameCube nostalgia and why the original Air Ride became cult classic.
Bib Fortuna takes the stage — calm, composed, he's been practicing for this moment — and takes a deep breath before revealing the next era of video game conferences. "We all know E3 has come and gone, but it's time for something truly new. I present: Steve-B."

Discussed: Steve B, Bib Fortuna and Ben Quadinaros, Kirby Air Riders, the genius of Sakurai’s design, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, the emotions evoked by older RPGs, the increasing popularity of Pokémon ROM hacks, Dispatch, a brief history of choice-driven games, Brendon and Stephen’s Siskel and Ebert moment
