Ep.87 – Destiny with Rod Benson
Destiny with Rod Benson. That sure sounds like a final boss encounter if you ask me. Speaking of bosses (forgive my 2007 diction), on today’s episode we are joined by former pro basketball player, current artist, speaker of souls, and contributor to SF Gate Rod Benson to discuss Destiny (2014). We discuss Rod’s high school Pokemon battles with Chad, his incredible Madden rating, and how his presence on Yahoo Sports lead to developing a group of friends to play Destiny with.

Ep.86 – Kirby’s Avalanche with Nikki Osborne
Can you believe it took 86 episodes to discuss a game about the savior of the universe, Kirby? Shame on us! Luckily we were saved by actor, artist, and karaoke master Nikki Osborne to discuss the SNES puzzle game Kirby’s Avalanche (1995). On this episode Nikki does the world a favor and and discusses the Phillips CD-i during a walk down memory lane, discusses the occasional Mario Kart 64 romp, and discusses how the cutscenes in Kirby’s Avalanche were an early comedic touchstone.

Ep.81 – The Simpsons: Bart vs the World with Ali Ghandour
I will not play video games and neglect my responsibilities. I will not play video games and neglect my responsibilities. I will not play video games and neglect my responsibilities. I will not play video games and neglect my responsibilities. I will not play video games and neglect my responsibilities.
But I will enjoy this wonderful episode with one of the funniest improvisers and talented actors around, Ali Ghandour! Ali talks all about his memories of The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World. He discusses peeing his pants in order to not give up his spot at an arcade game, getting annoyed with his sister not taking the game seriously, and because he was prompted by Conner dives into how he got into performing in the first place.
