Ep.303 – SAG Episode 303: It's Golf-ful

Lots of great games... and Golf!

Show Notes

This week, Dan and Kris dive into the April 10 20 30 40, talking about notable releases from 10, 20, 30, and 40 years ago this month. Monster Hunter hit the Wii, Metal Gear Solid hit the game Boy Color, Bonk made his debut on the TurboGrafx-16, Golf, well, golfed on the Atari 2600 (maybe), and a whole lot more, too!

At the top of the show, Dan gave his in-depth impressions of the Final Fantasy VII Remake, and how much he loves it. It’s a lot, in case you didn’t know. Kris, on the other hand, had some choice words for GameStop’s customer service, continued his Zelda quest with his kids, and played a little Final Fantasy VII himself, just not the remake.

Ep.302 – SAG Episode 302: Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but Racist

It's a cereal, WOW!

Show Notes

This week, Dan and Kris spend way more time than any sane person should discussing both existing and theoretical video game themed breakfast cereals. Which were their favorites? Were any of their inventions grounded in reality? Was this in fact the dumbest episode of the Stone Age Gamer Podcast ever?

Meanwhile, at the top of the show, Kris travels back to the original East Tod with his copy of Animal Crossing for GameCube, laments the unreasonable awfulness of Nintendo Switch Online and the Water Temple from Ocarina of Time, and checks out the StarFox comics from Nintendo Power. Dan, on the other hand, hasn’t played nearly as much Final Fantasy VII Remake as he would have liked, but how much does he love what he has spent time with? Find out now!

Ep.301 – SAG Episode 301: I'll Just YouTube This

Have a seat on Dan's casting couch

Show Notes

This week, Dan and Kris return to somewhat normalcy. With a Metal Gear Solid movie supposedly in the works (for real this time), Dan thought it would be a fun idea to set up a sort of SAG Podcast “casting couch” to try and figure out who should be cast in each role.

At the top of the show, the guys catch up with all the games they’ve been playing in quarantine. One thing’s for sure, a LOT of Animal Crossing has been played. But what else has kept them company in these trying times? Find out now!

Ep.297 – SAG Episode 297: I Have Scrooge McDuck in Puzzle & Dragons

Can GameStop be saved?

Show Notes

This week, there have been some management changes at GameStop, including Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime joining their ranks, but can anything save the company of extinction? More importantly, should it be saved? Dan and Kris discuss.

Meanwhile, at the top of the show, Kris continues to build LABO kits and run through the Zelda series with his son, the magic of music in video games, and of course, the Final Fantasy VII Remake demo that landed on the PS4. It’s been a bit more divisive than expected, but is that a good thing, or will it only serve to alienate fans of the original?

And now, the 10 20 30 40!

Show Notes

This week, Dan and Kris expand the reach of their regular monthly segment with the first 10 20 30 40, discussing notable game releases from 10, 20, 30, and 40 years ago. They cover February 2010’s anemic Wii releases, February 2000’s killer Dreamcast lineup, February 1990’s double hitter of Batman and Super Mario Bros. 3, and theoretical February 1980’s Atari 2600 games. At the top of the show, Dan naturally spent some time with PAD, but he also enjoyed a sort of interactive movie along the same lines of games like Heavy Rain and such. Meanwhile, Kris went ahead and preordered Animal Crossing, played more Zelda and Kid Icarus, and lamented the games he knows he should be playing but isn’t. Plus, the return of Tiger LCD games, the art of Nintendo Power, a potential sequel to The Messenger, and more!

Ep.294 – SAG Episode 294: Trundle is a Wonderful Thing

The state of video game movies

Show Notes

Kris saw the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Was it good? Was it bad? Does it really matter? Using Sega’s latest attempt to make a quality video game movie as an example, Dan and Kris talk all about the state of movies based on existing properties, what they get right, what they’re getting wrong, and what the future might look like. At the top of the show, Dan runs into some dog-related troubles, while Kris gets into a fist fight with a refrigerator. Plus, Kid Icarus games on 3DS, the addictive nature of Nintendo LABO Fishing, Animal Crossing fears, and more!
