S4E4 - The Big One Hundred
April 15, 2018 13:36Hello, The Listener! Welcome to a very special podcast special; it's the one hundredth DLC episode! That's right, the century mark! Triple digits! The Grand Hundo! We are so very thankful for the support and we sincerely hope that we can continue to entertain and maybe help teach and foster a more generally positive community around games. Failing that, the world can always use more fart jokes. In the episode, Jeb illustrates just how A Lot Ni No Kuni 2 is, we talk about the previous 99 episo...

S4E2 – Gex And Mortal Kombat Are Basically The Same Thing
February 18, 2018 13:32 - 39.4 MBHello and apologies for the delay, The Listener! You may have been worried about our absence but we are back, and the only thing to worry about is Talen's French speaking. In this episode we discuss the missing month of games, which surprisingly enough is only in part about Monster Hunter World. A strange series of events lead us to talking about Gex, and well, you can see where that led us.

S4E1 – Holding Out For A Hero
January 07, 2018 14:34 - 71.3 MBHappy new year, The Listener! Yes, we are back, no, December didn't happen. Don't worry about it, December isn't real anyways. What's important is that it's January and you know what that means - a retrospective of all the everything that was 2017 was and a naming scheme that makes barely any sense even in context.

S3E23 – Ecin
November 19, 2017 17:06 - 28.7 MBIt took a minute, but we are back with the 96th episode of the Downloadable Concept Podcast! To celebrate, Fox and Jeb made the incredible joke for this episode title. In the episode proper, Fox talks about her fashion forwarding, while Jeb reveals their long-running fondness for the .hack series. Then lag happens and a lot of it.

S3E22 - Drop Test
November 05, 2017 13:50Happy November, The Listener! We've got a special treat for you, as we sorta discuss current gaming news in the form of World of Warcraft Classic. There's some talk about rage quitting, Jeb is back on their Neptunia kick, and Fox gets surprised by a dog. Retro Gaming News pays respects to the Kinect, which is more than we can say about its launch titles. Spoilers - There's a Sonic.

S3E21 – Bees Nuts
October 22, 2017 13:50 - 31.9 MBHello, The Listener, we are back! So it turns out every time we try to record in October, we get slightly sicker. But we managed to get something together for y'all. A very quick run-through of what we played for the past while (made quicker by some technical issues) precedes a very thoughtful letter from a special boy, and a look back at what came out ten years ago that wasn't quite so enduring.

S3E20 – Asymmetry
September 24, 2017 13:29 - 41.8 MBHello, The Listener! We're back with a brand new edition. After a brief run of nostalgia, we take a dabble in the realm of asymmetrical games and talk about a few choice titles. Then in Retro Gaming News we... Well, that's a bit of a surprise, isn't it?

S3E19 - Lag
September 10, 2017 13:13Hello there, The Listener. This week, lag happened! Hooray! We were all ready to go and have topical discussions but technical whatsitproblems happened and caused Jeb to live further in the past. We pushed on through to deliver The Content, so please bear with us. Retro Gaming News was a lovely little 2016 September Sampler, which I believe is when Jeb was actually speaking from.

S3E18 – If It Is Broke Fix It
September 03, 2017 14:32 - 44.3 MBWelcome The Listener to September! Accidentally a topic emerged as we got sidetracked to talk about games that started out not so good but got much better. Meanwhile Fox catches everyone up on Yuri Jam Swans, as well as a little more talk about Sonic Mania - you may have heard of it. In a Retro Gaming News twist, we look back at what Microsoft promised at E3 in 2014.

S3E17 - Do Not Shake The Munchlax
August 27, 2017 13:59Welcome back, The Listener! I hope you are feeling well. You are important and you matter. Fox and Talen are back from a conventional weekend, so it's time to catch up! Immediately the plan gets thrown out in favour of talking about our favourite hedgy-wedgy. Retro Gaming News is a little bit of 2015 to cleanse the palette after the haphazard episode, wherein Talen forgot the most important release of the month.

S3E15 - Shop Class
August 06, 2017 12:59Welcome to August, The Listener! The most August of months. In this episode, we talk about a few series that may have gone on a little longer than necessary in a not at all self-aware fashion, followed by a discussion of the importance of capitalism as the world is literally ending around the entreprenuering individuals. Retro Gaming News looks back at some choice selections from August 2016.

July 30, 2017 13:31We're back, The Listener! Two of us have escaped the Mimic Invasion. The Munchlax Brigade is recovering, so it's just Talen and a Jeb this go around.

In Retro Gaming News, we travel to the far off world of 2015 and the re-release heavy month of July.

S3E13 - Mimicry
July 16, 2017 13:05Beware, the Listener! In this episode, not everything is quite what it appears to be. A theme occurs organically after accidentally connecting a common thread in what we've been playing. After that, Retro Gaming News goes to 2012 for some games that are... strangely familiar.

S3E12 - Professor Sleeve's Wild Ride
July 02, 2017 14:03After last week's episode totally didn't disappear into the aether, the crew is back and arguably better than ever. This week includes Jeb discussing Poi, which he mispronounced as Pio, before an actual topic emerges.

S3E11 – Happy Kirbday Wario
June 18, 2017 12:29 - 41.9 MBWe're back, thanks to the contributions of you, The Listener, on our Patreon! Jeb has been able to circumvent the desk-based plight that befell the previous episode and I hope Talen doesn't read these because he'll rip his hair out over that pun. I'll level with you, The Listener, I don't know exactly what has and hasn't made the cut because we were even more a rambling mess this time.

Talen was there too, don't worry. We locked him in THE OTHER ROOM.

May 21, 2017 13:00 - 39.8 MBHello The Listener! A whole lot of everything happened over the past, like, month, but after ten thousand years we're free.

In Retro Gaming News, we take a look quick look back at the distant past of May 2016, which sure was a month.

March 05, 2017 16:11 - 46 minutes - 32.2 MBThis week: Team Australia had some business to attend to, so we had to look deep in our hearts for the immortal words of Sonic M. Hedgehog - we had to go fast. But we did get in some talk about Torment, both the Planescape and Numenara varieties, and an insufferable number of callbacks. In Retro Gaming News, we may have returned to March 2007 but forgot enough about it to make better jokes.
