Happy #Caturday from MyDude and MooCow #catsky

6+ years ago, I started The Retro Blast Podcast because I was in a sad mental place and needed a creative outlet. I told myself, "Get just ONE listener. That'll be enough." Well, today I'm celebrating 250,000 downloads! Thanks for listening to me talk about why video games are special. - Patrick

Happy Boxing Day

I always thought shelf tits would be pretty handy

I'm reading some Batman comics. I don't know about any of you but I will probably always hear Kevin Conroy's voice in my head when I read them. The Animated Series and Arkham games had that much impact on me.

Recipe for a dystopian future

Happy Saturday Gamers!! ☕ I'm editing the Sonic the Hedgehog episode today, and I think after years of trial and error I've finally gotten the Noise Gate dialed in so it doesn't behave like a literal piece of shit! 🤌 I actually used to spot edit entire tracks (I know, I'm insane). Wish me luck! ✌️

Going live on the Twitches! @ducksindisguise.bsky.social will be playing Jaws on NES, because EVERYONE wants to play that game…. Twitch.tv/thfinerthingsttv

Good morning everyone. It is supposed to be below 0 F Wind Chill this weekend so I got some gaming plans this weekend. What are all you playing? Here is some games I'm bouncing around between right now.

In honor of the new Mega Man game announcement please rise and take off your hats for the Mega Man 90s Animated Series intro.

You're invited to present a video gaming related Ted Talk. What's your topic

Good morning beautiful people. Have a little bit of MooCow just chillaxing. #catsky 🐈

Excuse me while I get one of the best cartoon show theme songs ever stuck in your head today! Happy Friday! 🎩🦆

Oh. My. GOD.

Sign me up for this goofy shit.

We got a little over an hour to the Geoffies.

I am so lucky. So absurdly, unreasonably lucky.

Good morning. Game Awards is today. Mostly here for the trailers & free/shadow drops. If I get 1 announcement I like, I consider it time well invested because I also get to spend it with all you & we get to share our passion for this hobby. The real game award was the friends we made along the way.

TGAs got me thinking about old E3 moments, $299 mic drop is an all time classic.

'Shadow Hearts' is 24 years old today. The spiritual sequel to Koudelka for PS1, this is a Gothic-Horror JRPG that I think deserves to be played. There aren't many JRPGs in the horror genre, so if you're looking for that, THIS is for you.

I just like to reference this moment related to Doom 3 with John Romero.

GYLT is one of the games being given away to Prime members. It actually was hooking me in from the get go. A single player kind of spooky-ish mystery adventure game.

'DOOM' is officially 32 years old DOOM revolutionized 3D gaming and I think it's one of the most important games of all-time. I'll never forget playing it on my neighbor's Packard Bell PC and being mesmerized by it I've been Knee Deep in the Dead ever since! 🔥💀🔥 Is DOOM a special game to YOU?

Happy birthday, DOOM 🔥😈🔥

Happy birthday DOOM! While I didn’t grow up with the game, I had a blast playing it for the first time a few years back. You could really tell the dev team put a lot of love into it and the ost is 🔥 www.twitch.tv/fernleafflyn...

The PC decomp port of Majora's Mask is pretty darn snazzy. Widescreen, dual analog camera control, and higher frame rates among dozens of qol changes. Here it is on the Steam Deck too.

It's the 25th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask! I love how unapologetically weird, depressing, and creepy it is. It's unlike any other Zelda game and it stands out because of it. Your true face. What kind of face is it? I wonder, the face under the mask. Is that... your true face?

The Majora's Mask episode of The Retro Blast Podcast is also by far the most popular episode I've ever released according to the numbers, and so I know I'm not alone in that opinion! If you're interested, go have a listen to myself and @ducksindisguise.bsky.social talk about why it's so special!

🏖

Unfortunately we are skipping the episode this week since both Ryan & Donnie have covid (which is probably the risk you take when you run a kissing booth at PRGE all weekend). Thanks for sticking with us, & we'll be back next week!
