There’s a ten hour video on the channel now, and I want to explain why it exists. I’ve hosted a gaming podcast since 2002, and for that entire run I carried a secret. I had never played a Pokemon game. Not Red, not Blue, not anything. Jess co-hosts our streams and grew up on Pokemon [...]

Barb Steele — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 07:50:14 +0000

Ah, this game brings me back. This is the sort of innovative game we haven’t seen since… well, since 1989. A simulation game that speaks to the little guy, like one of my favorite 80s games, Paperboy. A game with hooks like TOTALLY RAD celebrities, a SUPER COOL story and ENDLESS PLAY. Oh [...]
