Did you miss us, D-Pads?

Well, we missed you. And we missed each other! We decided to check in JUST as we promised to give everyone a quick update on what we've been up to since changing from our old weekly schedule.

We discuss: Silent Hill 2, Return of the Golden Idol, Star Wars: Outlaws, Overwatch, Mario Party 8, and more!

Plus: Find out how the movie The Substance got Mikey in trouble with his girlfriend.

It's time to turn a new page, D-Pads!

This is the week we usher in a new change to The Retrograde: A Video Game Podcast!

It's been an unbelievable 6 (plus) years, but we've decided to make a change to our regular weekly main feed episodes. You'll still get all the Retrograde content you love, but at non-regular intervals, and in slightly different formats.

To celebrate, this week we're doing a full retrospective on all 333 previous episodes of the podcast you've all come to know and love.

Thanks to all of our listeners and viewers who have supported us over the years!

This podcast has grown far larger than we ever could have expected, and we have you to thank for that.

We're opening up our complete backlog of episodes on all podcast platforms, too! So if there's an episode you missed, now is your chance to check it out.

This is NOT goodbye! just the beginning of a new era for your two favourite Retrograders.

Keep us in your hearts, and in your feeds.

hearts, and in your

feeds.

Time to Climb, D-Pads!

This week we made the awful decision to try to claw, jump, (and drive?) our way out of hell in Chained Together!

It's a game that's been taking the streaming world by storm, so we figured it'd be a great way to test our "friendship" (read: six year podcasting relationship).

We tackled the first 45 minutes of the game over on our YouTube channel, so make sure to check that out here: https://youtu.be/eUl1aGB2a6E

In this episode we give our full thoughts on the game, PLUS some impressions of the latest sensation Astro Bot as well as Star Wars: Outlaws.

This is a big one, D-Pads!

We've finally decided to tackle the list to end all lists! We've danced around it since the beginning of our podcast, but now that we're 6 years deep and just around the corner from a massive change to our release schedules, we decided to give the people what they want: our lists of the top 10 games of all time!

Is it subjective? Sure!

Does that mean you'll still get extremely upset with us for not including Final Fantasy? Also sure!

Before getting into the lists, Andrew breaks down his first impressions of Star Wars: Outlaws, and Mikey turns his nose up at Lies of P.

Hey! Listen, D-Pads!

This week we tackle one of the most celebrated video games of all time. It's The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past!

The Super Nintendo didn't know what hit it when this game launched way back in the early 90's, and to be honest: neither did we!

Somehow neither of us played this video game back when it came out, so in spite of our growing love of Zelda, this marked our FIRST experience with what some consider to be the best video game of all time.

Plus: Andrew has finally finished Alan Wake 2, so we take some time up top to share our thoughts!

Make sure to catch the gameplay segment for today's episode where we play the first 45 minutes here: https://youtu.be/5oKXrvanyd0

Listen up, D-Pads!

We're going heavy on the audio this week as we sit down to iron out our lists of top 5 Gaming Soundtracks of all time!

There's a hefty helping of subjectivity in this episode, so bear with us as we try to justify our picks with a single song off of each soundtrack to justify our love.

Plus: we explain how ghosts are real, and Mikey tries Sifu.

Earmuffs, D-Pads!

This week you might not want to hear some of what we have to say.

Back by popular demand, we decided to sit down and rattle off some of our biggest gripes and hottest takes from the world of gaming.

Which game franchise fumbled the ball the worst?

Does we need achievements in games?

What game mechanics need to GO?

Plus, we give some impressions on Deadpool & Wolverine, and get a bit farther in Alan Wake 2!

Bring in the behemoths, D-Pads!

This week we're digging into some of the greatest franchises in gaming!

But it wouldn't be enough for us to praise them endlessly, would it? Instead we've challenged ourselves to crown the Best, Worst, and Most Underrated of each franchise.

We all love Metal Gear, but even in a franchise full of bangers one of them has to be crowned the "worst!"

Feel free to let us know where we got it wrong (we know you will).
