Taking your mind off of current events with videogames has been a pastime for years so today we're talking with Elsa, a frequent Talking to Women about Videogames guest, about a few of her recently played games. We start off chatting about the Metroidvania-style game Gestalt: Steam and Cinder before switching up to chat about Tekken 8 with a bit of discussion about fighting games in general. Rounding things out we get to Daniel's thoughts on the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Courses and Elsa challenges Daniel to take on the daunting task of playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.0:00:00 - Welcome to the Show, Elsa!0:02:12 - Gestalt: Steam and Cinder0:07:42 - Tekken 80:35:44 - Backlog Recap: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Courses0:42:14 - Backlog Recommendation: Final Fantasy 7 Remastered0:45:51 - Wrap Up/Plugs?Find Elsa on Tumblr at https://www.tumblr.com/agwhaan Support the show here! - https://www.patreon.com/ttwav

For spooky month, Jonathan and Ryan do some live game playing on the podcast of two games, Retro Realms: Halloween, and The Rocky Horror Show Video Game. Ryan gives a few ideas of videogames involving the undead and the Godzilla universe of monsters, and Ryan informs us of the evolving world of swears. The pair also discuss the game Clock Tower Remastered and talk a little bit about "Shadows of the Darned: Hecka Remastered" and give an update on their progress of Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. And finally, Ryan's not totally sold on Among Us, but he has so many stories about the game that he runs out the remaining space on the SD card.Show Notes:0:00:00 - Sound Test Technique0:01:29 - For the Viewers0:01:58 - Retro Realms: Halloween0:06:25 - The Retro Realms Crossover Series?0:07:10 - Press This Button to Go to the Nightmare Realm0:08:36 - You Just Killed an Innocent Nurse for No Reason0:09:17 - A Cat Searching Mission0:09:39 - Ryan's Videogame Idea: Zombies vs. Skeletons0:11:32 - Michael Myers: The Pacifist Run0:12:56 - The Rocky Horror Show Videogame0:13:26 - Everybody Has Classic Looks0:14:06 - "Talking to My Boy About Videogames" is Politically Neutral0:15:03 - What's Going On in Rocky Horror?0:16:19 - Ryan is a Poor YouTuber0:17:48 - How Does Retro Realms Compare to RHSVG?0:21:06 - Why Would You Throw Boxes at Skeletons?0:22:22 - I'm Gonna Say the S-M Word...0:23:16 - Remember Jim Henson's Dinosaurs?0:24:31 - Why Do You Have So Many Games?0:25:44 - Clock Tower Rewind Review0:26:48 - What Do You Mean, "Mutilated?"0:27:44 - Jonathan, Terrible Dad™0:28:58 - Michael is the Most Responsible Kid0:30:00 - The Music is the Creepy Part0:30:25 - Clock Tower Review for Real This Time0:31:02 - The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Update0:33:02 - Ryan's Challenge to Listeners: Make a Godzilla Game0:35:15 - Shadows of the Darned: Hecka Remastered0:35:56 - Ryan's Library of Swears0:37:02 - More Shadows of the Darned0:39:24 - Imposters Everywhere Support the show here!www.patreon.com/ttwav

Today on Yeah! the gang talks about the song "Let Mom Sleep from the Dreamcast game Jet Set Radio, all the way from THE YEAR 2000! We get into the nitty gritty of building songs from samples, what was hot in the late 90s/early 2000s, and we also dig into street and youth culture from a billion years ago. A surprising amount of the 1960s was hot in 2000! There was a very brief time period where rollerblading was the coolest thing you could do.0:00:00 - Don't Sleep on "Let Mom Sleep"0:06:11 - WhoSampled Helping with Plunderphonics0:15:00 - That Very Specific 2000s Sound0:18:50 - The Influence of Jet Set Radio on Video Games0:19:49 - What the Heck Was Jet Set Radio?0:23:15 - The Future of Jet Set0:33:13 - The Big Chungus Connection0:33:59 - Next Time on Yeah!?
