  • Episode 152: Circus Charlie and Moon Cresta
    It’s been a long, cold, lonely summer. Except for the days that were very hot. Which is most of them. In fact, we’re not so much sure whether this is episode 152 or if that’s the actual average temperature. But we’re not here to talk about weather. We’re here to talk about a coupla classic … Continue reading Episode 152: Circus Charlie and Moon Cresta

  • Episode 151: A Very Special Pie Factory Podcast
    We have surpassed two major milestones: ten years, and 150 episodes. It only follows logically that we should have a special off-topic episode. (But then again, how often do we actually show signs of any logic?) In this episode: you asked us, we answered. But what did you ask? You asked us STUFF. So we … Continue reading Episode 151: A Very Special Pie Factory Podcast

  • Episode 149: Armor Attack and Major Havoc

  • Episode 146: A Chat With Paul E. Niemeyer
    After an unexpected hiatus, Sean and Jim are back with a new episode. Sadly, as a side effect of said hiatus, the episode is not about our original intended topic.

Niemeyer, whose works have graced arcade cabinets for Bally … Continue reading Episode 146: A Chat With Paul E. Niemeyer

  • Episode 145: Our Top Ten Console Games
    Yeah, yeah, we know. “NEW EPISODE SO SOON?!?” Due to the logistical nightmare we all call life, our originally scheduled topic had to be postponed, so instead, after realizing we haven’t done an off-topic episode in a while, maybe we should change our pace for a bit, and here we are. Thank you all for … Continue reading Episode 145: Our Top Ten Console Games
