The outline of this show is simple. We’ve got:

Two best friends.

One randomly selected Apple Arcade game.

Two fresh new semi-randomly selected beers (we basically just grab something new that we see on the shelf).

We don’t talk about the game at all before we record, so we’ll be learning each other’s thoughts and impressions live on air. At the end of each episode, we’ll also randomly draw the game for our next offering, so you’ll always know what’s coming up on the next adventure.

Each episode will also feature an ‘after show’, where we’ll basically drivel on about whatever we feel like (stick around after the end theme if you want to listen).

This episode, Derek hopes that Apple Arcade’s Sonic Racing will help him re-live his PS Vita glory days. The game notes that you can “enjoy single-player mode, play with your friends or go big and play with people around the world in multiplayer mode,” — but just how enjoyable is SEGA’s latest?

The world’s fastest hedgehog is back in SONIC RACING! Take control of one of 15 playable characters from the Sonic universe and compete in the ultimate multiplayer racing experience. COLLECT power-ups, SET traps and ATTACK competitors all while driving at high speed. Ready, Set, RACE!

We’ve had a blast making Let’s Play Arcade! so far, and we really hope that you’re enjoying it too! If you have any feedback for us, we’d love to hear it at derek@geekscape.net. Anything you listeners can do to help spread the word about the podcast would be immensely appreciated — from sharing it on social media like Facebook or Twitter, to leaving us five stars (or even a review) on Apple Podcasts, to sending it to a single friend, it can all make a massive difference!

Thanks again for coming along on this ride!
