Sega Genesis - Sega's 4th Console...wait why did they call it that?!?!?!

Anyways, we're not talking about The Genesis today. We're talking about an 8-Bit Powerhouse that was sent to America to rival the Mighty Nintendo Entertainment System! The Sega Master System! And when it arrived on U.S. Soil it...it was...well it was here, that is for sure. BUT we still remember it fondly with it's bright colors and loud music. Put on your Alf pajamas as we remember a...

Doom. Doom is awesome. Doom is super metal. Doom rips. Doom, Doom, Doom, Doom and more Doom. Join us as we celebrate Doom. From it's origins to the brand new Doom: The Dark Ages. We talk about it all. Did we mention Doom yet? Oh...well...just in case we didn't. Doom.

This episode is more fun than a barrel of monkeys! What do you think of when you think of video games, barrels and monkeys? Well, if you guessed Donkey Kong...you would be correct! But this episode isn't about him or his barrels. It's about barrels in Capcom Games. That's right...a whole episode by the fact that Capcom loves barrels! We'll sneak in a little more Capcom stuff in there too, but the Double Shift Crew and their Gamer Snax are here for the barrels!

It’s gonna get sloppy! Join us as we talk about games based on Nickelodeon Shows! Were these games in their Prime or just full of Slime? There were so many games that had the Nickelodeon name and there is no way that we have played them all. So eventually, we just made up the plot to these games ourselves! We Double Dare you not to listen and take a trip down memory lane as we eat Turtle Pies, give love to Rugrats, throw shade at Rugrats and ask important questions about Catdog!

Let’s All Go To The Moooovieees! And hit up the Movie Theater Arcade first, because this week we’re talking about the ol’ Silver Screen! Well…more so Silver Screen to Video Game Adaptations. Most gamers don’t like Games based on Movies, but wait until you hear OUR opinion on them (I didn’t say it was different, I just told you to wait)... Make sure to tune in as Danelle gives her review on a Game that inspired a Movie! Grab your popcorn bucket, make sure to get the free refill BEFORE you sit down and strap on you...

Listen kids...Winners Don't Do Drugs! And neither do we! And you didn't either back in the day! Because if you even thought about it, you were presented with that message in your local Arcades on all of the screens! Join us as we talk about the countless Anti-Drug Video Games of yesteryear! Well, maybe not countless...we counted them. How many you ask? Tune in to find out!

This week the crew talks about questionable Video Games. Mostly, the question is...Bro...WHAAAT?!?! Thanks to games like GTA, most of society is desensitized by crazy Video Games. But there was a time where guys named Larry wore Leisure Suits, Arcade Machines had weird joysticks, General Custer got some sort of Revenge and Mike Tyson made fun of everyone. Some of the games are definitely going to make you say "Bro WHAAAAT?" and some may just bring back some good memories. Shame on you...

On this week’s episode, we sit on the couch! We’ll be playing some Couch Co-Op games together as Mikey becomes Danelle, Danelle mentions Ace Combat yet again, Oddjob chops up and we spell Assume! Strap on that plastic Vinyl and join us as we remember old stuff while making sound effects!

This week the crew is watching TV. But they fast forward through all of the boring show bits so they can watch all of the awesome Video Game commercials! Join Mikey, Danelle, Paul Rudd, Ethan Suplee and get ready to have your hair stand up on your head, your ear drums blown out and ask important questions about these Video Game TV Commercials, such as..."What?"

Disclaimer: Paul Rudd and Ethan Suplee may or may not actually be in this episode themselves...guess you will have to tune in to find out!

In this week's episode, we take a peek behind the curtain...AH! Sorry sir...wrong curtain... Join us as we relive some stories from our time in the Video Game Industry. This episode is full of Celebrities, Food, Gross Stuff, More Food, Getting yelled at, Even more Food and maybe we mention a Video Game here and there, who knows! We babbled on for so long while recording this that we had to edit it down for time. But fear not...maybe someday we will have THE LOST EPISODE where we...get lazy and just pick up scraps off...

In this week's episode, we don't just get sidetracked on food. We talk about Weird Video Game Characters! Well, one of them is a Mushroom so...that is a food. But the rest is just weird video game characters, no food. Well there's Gamer Snax...but we also design a game! About a marshmallow. Darnit!

Meet Em Up 2 Beat Em Up - The team discusses all things Beat Em Up, the genre that exploded in the 80s and 90s and saw countless street punks get punched in the mouth with a fist full of justice. They also talk about Salad Bars...But they get back to Beat Em Ups eventually!

Meet Mikey and Danelle as they go over all of the shenanigans they will be getting into.
