Don't underestimate Toad. He may just get a super star and become... THE TOAD WARRIOR! It's another Mario Super Show episode! And of course I am joined by my co-host with the mo-host Dexter Morrill to break down this wild episode. Between robotic love interests, eating nothing but dry pasta, pasta sauce being gasoline and so much more, this episode goes (well drives) places you wouldn't expect. Follow Dexter on social media!

This episode's origin is TRACED back to my patrons! See what I did there? Truly awful jokes aside... This week on the show I am chatting about the Nintendo DS launch game Trace Memory which was chosen by my patrons for this episode. I am joined by fellow podcaster Derek Van Dyke to help me break down everything this game has to offer. From gimmicky DS controls (That actually work well?) to a simple but engaging story, we dissect what works and doesn't work about this often overlooked title.

Some of my favorite episode topics are the ones I couldn't think of. This week on the show I am joined by Drew Mackie from the blog, Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games to talk about his recently released article, Mario 101. In Mario 101, Drew lays out a series of 101 obscure and fun Mario facts over the course of 40,000 words. This is the kind of topic I never would have thought of, which makes it the perfect topic for me to cover on the show. This type of super niche, hyper specific research is my jam and I when I reached out to Drew about coming on the show for a game (something we have yet...

We have made it another hundred episodes! For the past few mile marker episodes Ive been focusing on people that have helped me on my podcasting journey and helped make the show what it is and this episode's guest is no different. I am joined by probably my favorite podcaster of all time for this episode, Matt Gourley. Matt and I talk about how he got started in podcasting, unexpected challenges in podcasting, how he became a part of Conan O'Brien's podcast and we are even joined by a famous deceased author! Matt was absolutely wonderful and you should go listen to his plethora of podcasts....

The moblins are revolting! For the penultimate episode of Dexter and I's look into the Legend of Zelda cartoon we are breaking down episode 12, "The Moblins are Revolting!". I won't sugar coat it, this is probably the worst episode of the Zelda cartoon in a while. Not even the legendary horror icon Elvira could save it either. Follow Dexter on social media!

I obviously love video games and one thing that I wish there was more of a focus on in the online gaming discourse is what other benefits we get from gaming besides the social aspects and hand dexterity etc. In this episode I got to chat with friend of the show Nadia Oxford about her recently released book "From Pixels to Prose: What Video Games Taught Me About Storytelling" from Retro Game Books, which dives into an element of what I mentioned prior, video games teaching us about media in ways we may not expect. I had a lot of fun chatting with Nadia about her book, about what videos have...

I usually focus on individual games on this show but every now and then I like to take a look at a genre of games (sub genre maybe?) This week on the show I am joined by Jenny Windom who works at Wholesome Games and is one of the people who organizes their Wholesome Games Direct showcase and Wholesome Snack showcase every year. I ask her what to her makes a game "wholesome"? Is there such a thing as too wholesome? How do they curate their game selection? And also if there was a sandwich named after her, what would it be!? This episode was a wholesome delight to record and I hope you all enjoy...

The console wars of the later '80s and early '90s is the stuff of nostalgia legend. Sega and Nintendo duking it out for video game dominance. While the Genesis/Mega Drive vs the SNES is remembered the most fondly from that era there were other consoles that went head to head as well.... Handheld consoles... But they all had their lunch money stolen by Nintendo still. Womp womp. However, even in losing to Nintendo's Game Boy there is still a lot you can learn and appreciate about the "loser" handhelds of that era. On this episode of Still Loading I am joined by Gen Moonen from the Fun and Games...
