Ep.478 – SAG Episode 478: Just Enough to Sustain the Joke

The August 10 20 30 40 finally brings some killer games

Show Notes

It’s time once again for the 10 20 30 40, where Dan and Kris look back at notable game releases this month from 10, 20, 30, and 40 years ago. The first chunk of the year has been pretty lackluster overall, but this month brings a number of actual all-time classics like Street Fighter II: Turbo, Jr. Pac-Man, Rocket Knight Adventures, and more! But can they make it through the whole thing before Kris has to run off to the bathroom, leaving Dan to vamp for a mysteriously long time? Probably not, but there’s only one way to find out, right? Plus, Kris is on a mission to polish off Tears of the Kingdom before Sea of Stars comes out, Vampire Survivors is awesome in multiplayer, Dan encounters some annoying stuff in Marvel Snap, and a whole lot more!

Ep.477 – SAG Episode 477: Trivia time LIVE at Stone Age Gamer

Celebrating SAG’s 16th birthday with a LIVE trivia show!

Show Notes

Stone Age Gamer is sixteen years old, and we celebrated the only way we knew how. With a LIVE Trivia Show! Kris flew out to Salem Ohio to host a live podcast recording at the Stone Age Gamer store. There, Dan took on the entire live audience in a contest of trivia supremacy. Since this was a live show, the recording isn’t up to our usual standards, but it was well worth it for the experience! Sadly, Dan was not able to make it out to the show in person, so he was recording from the Jose Canseco Memorial Annex in scenic New Jersey, but he was there in spirit, and in voice since we remoted him into the store’s audio for the show. Fun times were had by all. Enjoy!

Ep.476 – SAG Episode 476: Tomorrow I'm Gonna Be a DJ

The Alphabet Soup-er Series returns with Flashback: The Quest for Identity.

Content Warning

Our usual conversation at the top of the episode got a bit heavier than usual, and could be upsetting for some listeners. We decided to leave this conversation in because this show has always been at least partly about our lives and the things that happen to us, this week just happened to be a particularly difficult one. Things get back to normal around the 23 minute mark if you want to skip ahead. Thank you for understanding.

Show Notes

Dan and Kris bring you the latest installment in the Alphabet Soup-er Series! Each month, they choose a video game that begins with a different letter of the alphabet, and play them for discussion on the show. This month’s letter was F, and Dan chose the sci-fi classic Flashback: The Quest for Identity. Which versions did they play? Do the famous rotoscoped visuals hold up? Is the game any good? Let’s find out! Plus, the guys had very little time to actually play too many games this week, but Kris put some time into the HD Retrovision cables now available at Stone Age Gamer, and the new We Love Katamari release for Nintendo Switch. There’s also a surprising amount of talk about SAG’s new blog software.
