Gaming History 101

This week it’s all about the movies to start things off.  Gaming focuses around the end of Marvel’s Spider-Man (spoiler free) and onto Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Control.  Fred wraps the discussion with his newfound hatred of Bonk’s Adventure and the frustrations of installing a Saturn optical drive emulator.

This week was supposed to be tight and focused with little to talk about but in no time the tangents begin.  Fred is mostly to blame, but a slew of discussion is had including Mortal Kombat movies, an old friend (Jam), and more eBay buys.  Then Trees discusses his final days with Spider-Man while Fred talks Gears Tactics before the two wrap up with the Xbox Series X presentation and the expectations of gamers going into the next generation.

Fred and Trees return to discuss, um, the fact that this podcast feed keeps changing all the time.  Well this time it’s as permanent as a podcast gets.  Weekly shows, Fred and Trees, talking about video games new and old.  We may have other shows, we may have more GH101, and we may soon see the return of Jam but nothing is set in stone yet.  For now the two just get back into the old discussions with why Fred abandoned his lecture series, what Trees has been up to, and a few questions from the community.
