Episode 26: Mail Bag!

Over the past year, the Retro Spectives Podcast has started to see a small community of gamers join up to our  discord server.  We talk old video-games, new video games, and tend to get into a lot of arguments over exactly which ARPGS suck and why.

As we end this year, we thought it would be fun to open up our mailbag for questions from these users.  And they all delivered with some fantastic questions! We got to talk in depth about games and their mechanics, both from the show and 2019.  We got to revisit old arguments and even got into entirely new ones! Thanks to everyone who submitted questions, keep ‘em coming!

On this episode, we discuss:

  • What are the worst opinions of both James and Pat according to the other person?  It took hours to narrow down from the available possibilities, but we got there in the end.

  • Is there anything that games of the past used to do that new games no longer feature?  Were they changed for the better, or has something been lost in the process?

  • How many times can Patrick mention Dark Souls in an hour and 40 minutes?  The estimated over/under is 10.

We answer these questions from our listeners, and many more on the 26th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!  We’ll see you in a fortnight to conclude our 2019 wrap up with our GOTY episode!


You can join the community on our discord server!  Drop by to hang out, say hi, or simply tell us why we’re wrong!  We look forward to seeing you there!

Special thanks to community member Bruno who not only provided some questions for the episode but also some fine art to rival even Patrick’s talented work on this week’s thumbnail!
