Tales woven across small screen laughs and big screen thrills. It’s a veritable luckfest as our hosts spread the licensed game lovin’ across Rotherham and Tinseltown. Sam starts us off by pitching his idea for the ChuckleVision game that never was, hitching the wagon on various “Chuckle-likes” to find the perfect title to clone. Then, David takes us through the back half of the 90s movie zeitgeist through a pixelated lens, peppered with facts and tidbits. This week’s one is a bit of an unintentional epic – hold on to your ticket!

It’s better than bad – it’s good! It’s time to get goopy, gacky, and all kinds of wacky, as Sam invites resident millennial Kit back on the pod to talk through two of Nickelodeon’s earliest animated efforts and their vibrant history in games. How close did Ren & Stimpy get to capturing the anarchic spirit of the show? How much content was cut from the Rugrats’ premiere 3D outing? And how many times can we say the words “lost media” before it loses all meaning? Whatever the answers, one thing’s clear – a gamer’s gotta do what a gamer’s gotta do. Gaming, that is.

Dim the lights, set the stage – it’s gaming’s biggest night! After Sam swipes right on Nintendo’s clumsy first year in smartphone gaming, David rolls out the red carpet for Cybermania ‘94 – one of the industry’s earliest attempts at an Oscars-style game awards show. There’s surprise star appearances, incredibly stilted comedy bits, and the secret origins of gaming’s strongest warrior, Geoff Keighley. A gala ripe for the picking.

Now the biting makes sense! Unleashed once more from their cellophane wrapping (and accidentally spilling off a bit under the table), Gamer Era RETURNS with a chock-a-block confectionary themed pod! David brings the crunch with a hard-shelled punch-up on the inexplicable M&Ms game “series”, before Sam chews over the surprisingly solid gaming history of Kyoro-chan – the Japanese marketing juggernaut that became so huge he was directly parodied by Nintendo. Chow down, Gamers!
