If we're talking about podcasts here then I have to shill out the Best Show. Seriously one of the greatest things I've ever listened to.

Jeff talking about old games and the like is always great. I'm excited to watch this tomorrow. And UPF. And the other stuff I've missed the past few days.
So much content.

Mine is like 5 mins of driving.
if i did that i would get nothing done
I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one who like never listens to the bombcast but consumes all of their video stuff.
You have to move.

I actually prefer long commute times.
Gives me time to catch up to music/podcasts/games.

I definitely like to use my commutes for listening to podcasts as I'd be otherwise limited on when I could listen to them. It would be nice to catch up on my backlog of handheld games but I just lack the energy to play games on my commute.

Pretty psyched that the Old Game Show seems to be a regular thing.
Drew's a huge fan of Toejam and Earl, and Dan's only played the second one. They should totally do a coop session of the first one.

I'm currently at 40+ and that's not even enough. Listening at work, which is the most boring job possible, is the only thing that makes the days go by.

I wish Old Games included PC games from the 90s.
If only there was some sort of feature about PC games picked sporadically

It's not all bad, just boring. In the process of looking for something new now, but it's hard trying to switch fields of work with comparable pay when there's not much experience in the other fields.

In Metal Gear lore is Raikov related to Raiden?

Brad is still finishing his Dying Light review and Jeff has been tied up with his Dance Central 3 review for a while now so i dunno.
No. It's just a in-game joke.

I want an Old Game Show of early PC shumps. Gimme Raptor, some Stargunner, some Major Stryker, some mother fuckin' Tyrian.
edit - And just FYI, Tyrian and Stargunner are both free on GoG. Raptor is available on GoG (2010 edition) and Steam (2015 edition, I know, weird). Still don't know if Major Stryker is available anywhere.

I know that the whole thing with UPF is that they're being unprofessional but it would be nice if they tested their games in advance so it doesn't feel like they're wasting everyone's time with games that don't work
brad why you gotta be so unprofesh
And interestingly, OGS is not a Premium series.
just the first one free to hook you on that hunk?

That will probably be a common opinion. Giantbomb playing and talking about old games is always great, so a feature based around that was bound to be good, plus UPF tends to be very hit and miss.
Truth. You can't lose with Jeff playing old games.
As I recall, wasn't the original idea for UPF to give the guys a chance to show off games that they're playing that doesn't fit into regular content, or to play games that they want to play but normally don't have time for?
The problem with it is that it's become Show and Tell, where they scramble to find a game to show on Friday just before the show starts.
It's part of why I thought making it group Demo Derbies would have been interesting.

I tune into UPF more for the conversation than the games.
I often feel bad for the person on the PC who's busy playing this game, while the people on the couch are having a totally unrelated conversation.
RepairmanJack
Member
Yeah, PC games usually need someone on the couch interested or asking questions for them to not get almost completely ignored.

Free UPF segment idea: 1v1 multiplayer match of Red Alert 2. Think about it.
Or really just any segment that involves playing strategy games against each other. I'd rather watch that than fighting games.

Should rename Old Games Show as "Let's Teach Millennials"
Having not watched Old Games yet, UPF has already felt like them playing old games half the time.
No you don't. It was called Professional Wednesday.
ahhhhhhh you're right. 11/27/13 was the only unprofessional wedensday
