Talking to My Boy About Videogames - Hangin' Out With Cats
This month, on a cat heavy episode, Jonathan and Ryan try to talk about Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom but the conversation quickly gets derailed for some lively banter about poop and pee. Ryan reveals that he wants no limits on his videogames and he dislikes water levels. There's also extremely brief discussion of the history of the beat 'em up genre along with the upcoming new entries in the genre, GI Joe: Wrath of Cobra, Toxic Crusaders, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind, and Karate Kid: Street Rumble.

Talking To My Boy About Videogames - Ep 2 - Hangin' Out With Cats

On a relaxing Thanksgiving week (posted the next week because Jonathan started vomiting for days shortly after this was recorded), Jonathan chats with Ryan about videogames over a refreshing cherry Pepsi and a delicious bag of chips. What starts with Jonathan trying to talk about Marvel vs. Capcom 2 quickly shifts around to discussing Angry Birds (the movie, that should really get a videogame adaptation some day), and the Adventure Time/Minecraft crossover episode that Jonathan completely missed in the show's original run. Ryan offers up a few campaign slogans and also delivers the hard hitting facts about fraudulent YouTubers and difference between the ways fake and realistic crimes are depicted in the media.
