Just put the finishing touches on this episode. It's still over 3 hours even with editing 😅

Was gonna stream tonight but our whole street lost power..... Wooooo

Hello new followers! I figured I'd reintroduce myself! I'm Josh and I'm the host of the Still Loading Podcast. Still Loading is kind of a gaming grab bag podcast that covers a variety of topics like interviews with people in the industry, game retrospectives and a lot more! 1/3

NEW EPISODE! I'm joined by my buddy TJ Hodder for our annual end of year retrospective episode! TJ and I take a look back at our year of podcasting and talk about our favorite moments! stillloading.libsyn.com/still-loadin...

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community. Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

In case you missed it over the holiday, this week's episode about Astro Bot is up! @stillloadingpodcast.com and I had a blast chatting about it!

Game 31: Super Mario Bros. 2 (with too many save states to count) This game is charming, inventive and so unforgiving. I got thoughts on this one man. ?? Hours. Way too many damn hours

We're all doing what we can to spread cheer around the holidays, and arguably no game does that quite as well as Astro Bot. @stillloadingpodcast.com joins me for a deep dive. As always, no spoilers for a while- enjoy! LISTEN: talesfromthebacklog.fireside.fm/197 WATCH: youtu.be/KbtAJL4OP-g

I'll share some game stuff later but was too excited to not share this tonight. My parents got me a nice hardcover box set of the Narnia series for Christmas!

Game 30: Hitman 3 I adore this series man. I really should go back and play the pre-reboot ones but I REALLY love this new trilogy. So much creativity and freedom are given to you and you have so many ways of playing. The level design is INSANE. 6 hours

I'm on @tftblpod.bsky.social this week! Astro Bot is a really special game for me and Dave was kind enough to invite me on to chat all about it. Go give it a listen!

Oh snap! Both of these shows are amazing and well worth listening to. Excited to listen to this!

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling? Watch til the end for a post-credits sting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8set...

Ive said it before and I'll say it again. Do not buy from ModRetro.

Super productive night. Recorded, edited and uploaded the last Patreon bonus episode of the year, edited a large chunk of my final main podcast episode of the year and worked on some promo art for stuff coming out next year. Feels good to get shit done.

AND for $5 on the Still Loading Patreon you get not only a bonus monthly movie podcast but 2 mini bonus episodes too! 👀👀

I'm playing SMB2 and trying to actually beat it for the first time. I don't know what is wrong with me but I cannot for the life of me get past the 3rd world. I'm consistently getting mad at everything in there lol

Any fans out there of James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire on the PS2/Xbox/GameCube?

Game 28: James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire A solid FPS on the PS2. Story is bonkers but the game play is varied and engaging. It doesn't overstay it's welcome. Some bizarre check pointing aside this was a fun one. 4 hours

Good evening 007. Playing James Bond Agent Under Fire tonight! www.twitch.tv/stillloading...
