The guest this week (30:21) is MikeBtheGameGenie who knows an awful lot about the Arcade1Up game machines. They discuss how well they hold up, which ones should come next, and share some old arcade memories. There is also obscure baseball and 80's pro-wrestling talk so buckle up.

DrunkFriend - Episode 45 - Forgotten_VCR
play

03/20/21 • 75 min

Don't worry, we remember VCRs but the guest in this episode (22:28)  is Forgotten_VCR, a unique Twitch streamer who assembles films into interesting compositions for his ever growing audience of curious bystanders. He also has a rather massive VHS collection. Out the gate, Alex and Trav chat about their videos this week on The Smurfs, Toy Story, and Swords and Serpents, discuss gaming anxieties, games so bad they're good, and which Beast Wars beast we would be (https://mawportfolio.online/MAWProjects/MAWProjects/BeastWars%20Js/home.html if you want to play along).

Alex is healed up from Covid and Trav is depleted of Christmas cheer. Christmas songs that hold-up after Christmas, Top 5 thanksgiving dishes, THE family dog, and fallout from KOEI videos in the comments.
Congrats to our good pal Pam (@CannotBeTamed) for reaching 100,000 YouTube subscribers!

DrunkFriend - Episode 33 - Sylvester Stallone

This episode is a little more sly than cunning as Trav and Alex chat about action movie star Sylvester Stallone per the two games highlighted on this week's SNES Drunk YouTube channel (Cliffhanger and Demolition Man). The two answer some listener emails about video game stories worth a darn, drinking games, and whether or not Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball should be launched into the sun. For the next while, DrunkFriend will be a bi-weekly podcast! WHAREWILF!?

DrunkFriend - Episode 32 - Jenovi

Join Trav and Alex as they hang out with Jenovi, a retro gaming YouTuber who is known for his astute research on 90's systems like the Sega 32X , the 3DO, and the Jaguar. Obscure baseball trivia is tossed around, Alex is no fan of remakes, Travis pretends to know how video game controllers, and Jenovi is in the middle of uprooting his family. He doesn't even get upset when Alex and Trav beg him to show off his auctioneering skills. If you like video games, Earnest Evans gets a mention. There's a little something for everyone!

DrunkFriend - Episode 31 - John Riggs

Folks just don't come as likeable and easy-going as the esteemed John Riggs! We hang out and chat a lot about his experiences at conventions (both as a panelist and as a fan), and what his YouTube tenure has been like so far in the near-6 years of his channel. We also talk about current gen consoles potentially losing their backward compatibility, LEGOs, the best NES games no one talks about (not to be confused with a term that rhymes with "gidden hems"), and a lot more! John is a great hang, join us, won't you?

In this episode, Trav and Alex get the pleasure of interviewing a different kind or runner. Tara recently completed all 24 races at the festival of 5k's, the Pemberton 24. That's right. She ran 24 5K races in one day. We ask her about that experience, how running as a hobby began for her, as well as what she eats and how she trains. The show is kicked off with what videos have been produced by the hosts lately and a pair of listener emails about our favorite games played in 2020 and if SNESdrunk will ever add ratings to his reviews.

DrunkFriend - Episode 29 - Top 13 NES Games
play

10/02/20 • 67 min

Send us a text

Trav and Alex decide it's time to anger the listeners by listing off their Top 13 NES games and purposefully leave some off that will get your blood boiling. Do you like Contra? Do you like Mega Man? You better beware. Listener emails ask what Trav does for money and the hosts take turns answering how they would flip a classic game into a different genre altogether. It's a fun time, especially if you like the NES.

Kelsy Polnik (at 13:35) finished every single licensed NES game. It took a while, but 669 games later he's here to tell us which ones are ACTUALLY the hardest! You might be surprised to hear what tops the list. Kelsy also has a thing or two to say about your favorite NES games.  Trav is back for this episode. He and Alex answer an email about fan translations before Alex's microphone dies an untimely death.
