This month's Captain N is by far one of the STRANGEST episodes of the show so far (and that's saying something...). Dexter and I are joined by our good friend Gabe Swarr. Gabe specifically requested to join us for this episode and I am SO glad he did. This episode may be listed as mini in the title but it is ANYTHING but mini. Join us in this wild journey as we learn about the Captain N treatment of Paperboy.

The time has come FINALLY for me to discuss Sega's iconic beat 'em up franchise Streets of Rage. I'm joined by Chris from Retro Hangover and Coury from My Life in Gaming to discuss the first game in the series. What makes this game stand out from other beat 'em ups? Why is the music so damn good? This was my first time playing this game and I had a lot of fun trying to answer those questions and more on this episode.

I'm a huge fan of niche game history and this week's episode is about as niche as it gets. I'm joined by Bill from the Gaming and Collecting podcast to take a look at Sega's first ever console, the Sega SG-1000. The SG-1000 released the same exact day as Nintendo's Famicom (known as the NES/Nintendo Entertainment System here in the North America). Bill and I talk about the console, it's games and what the system did for Sega moving forward. If you have ever wanted to dive into an obscure corner of game history, this is the episode for you!

Jala-Chan returns! I'm joined by Dexter and Jala to discuss episode 11 of season 2 for Captain N the Game Master, I Wish I Was a Wombatman.

We break down all the zaniness of this episode and talk a disturbingly long time about wombat nipples.

Rounding out this brief BioSHOOK series is a massive episode on BioShock Infinite with friend of the show Mick Arcade. Infinite is one of the those games that has become polarizing over the years but Mick and I both love it. In replaying the game for this episode I FINALLY understood the story and it was so much fun to discuss. Listen in as Mick and I test out our theories of constants and variables and determine which Elizabeth is the real one.

Video Game history can be such a tough subject to really know where to start with. There is so much out there so how can somone who is interested know where to start? This week I am joined by game developer and author Michael Hart to talk about his recently release book "Secrets of Video Game Consoles" which I personally think is a good starting point to learn about game history.

This week's episode is a discussion on a shorter game, a game that doesn't end? Or does it? I'm joined by Gerard Eady, who is an accomplished Irish archer and Twitch streamer, to discuss the game The Stanley Parable. This is one of those tangent type of episodes and while we do discuss the game we also get sidetracked a few times and discuss RPGS, which types of games we like to play and we get a peak at Gerard's archery background.

As the game industry evolves sometimes it's easy to forget the stepping stones of progress. Sometimes a game comes out, does something revolutionary, but no one notices because something bigger comes out just a few years later and overshadows it. On this episode I chatted with Matthew Smith, creator of the YouTube channel Computer Gaming Yesterday. We talk about his recently released documentary on the game "Dark Age of Camelot" and how it is one of the more influential MMORPG's that not a lot of people talk about anymore. This episode touches on a fascinating era of game history that you will not want to miss. Check out Matt's YouTube channel, Computer Gaming Yesterday, HERE!

I'm not gonna beat around the bush. The episode that is covered for this month's Captain N episode is by far our favorite of season 2. Dexter Morrill is back and we have a ton of fun breaking down Captain N season 2 episode 9, Having a Ball. This episode is one of the most wild episode's we've ever seen on the show. Do you wanna see King Hippo and Eggplant Wizard as rockstars? Victorian era aristocrats? Tomatoes dancing with creepy legs? If you answered yes to any of these, this episode is for you.

The first ever patron poll episode is here! In January my patrons voted on a game I should cover on the show and the winner was Spec Ops: The Line!
