Spoiled Dr. Strange at the end of the episode!!! Never listening to again!
ffs! how much advertising? Too much for me boys, I'm out!
first
Swear I actually heard @pxlsicle 's eyes glaze over as @PatTheNESpunk read off the Heritage auction listings.
1hr 52min until the shitshow that the VM is. why is this still a thing? ugh.
For those who wanna duck out before the voicemail segment it starts at about the 1h 23m mark.
Ian's pronunciation of "chassis" was both adorable and a little sad considering his age.
I'm with @pxlsicle , Space Invaders sucks. I first played it in '78/'79 when soccer season wrapped up and we had a party at the roller rink. Hated it then, still hate it today.
Yes, Pat, the Top Halloween candy segment has been done on CUP before. Do your research, buddy, especially when it's on your own show.
Spooky Halloween games suggestions! Nice!
You're nuts! The Vectrex controller fucking rules!
The world is burning, masses are dying, and we're supposed to feel bad for people who had a hard time preordering a new game console that will keep being produced for years? Fuck them. Fuck them all.
I thought gender reveal partys was something new for adult trannies.
I find it strange that in the state the world is in people are clamoring to spend their money on something as frivolous as the new Analog handheld. Is it interesting? Sure, but definitely not a necessity.
I thought I'd give the Virtual SDCC a try and it was such a flood on my YT I bailed out rather than try to sort through the garbage to find some gems. I realize I'm just not a con-guy, even when there's no actual crowd to fight through.
$250 for LEGO?! Fuck right off!
I dig the Sega Astro City, hope it makes it to the US.
Was @pxlsicle just censored on the #CUPodcast ?! @patthenespunk 🤬
So weird how quickly Mixer is gone but even weirder is Microsoft hitching it's wagon to Facebook of all things. That's just gross.
Yeah, those SEGA Micros are gonna tank. Those should've been sold for $15 as keychains with no fanfare like all those mini arcade keychains that get continually licensed out.
