I've noticed though that there isn't actually much retro gaming talk happening. It seems a little odd considering we're on a retro site. I think the issue is that the segments are very focused on whats going on right now.
The games you're playing are often newer releases, the games you've picked up are often recent releases and even stuff like the news for the retro gamer is focused on stuff thats just been revealed. This is all great, but it kinda shifts some of the retro focus away.
Maybe you could do a section each podcast where you talk about a retro favourite of yours in some depth? Highlight a game people can play and get a little more retro-themed content in there at the same time.
Anyhow, just my suggestion. Thanks for the great work guys.
Appreciate the feedback. For the news stuff it isn't really news if it is actually retro. But we try to bring up things like remakes of classics or games made in a retro style.
As for pickups and what we are playing, it is mixed. Most of my pickups are retro games, atleast 2/3 or more. And while I discussed FFXIV last show, I also discussed a lot of tactics ogre, baldurs gate, and Shining Force in previous recent shows.
I don't mean to sound defensive, because I don't feel that way. But what we play and or buy will be a mix of modern and retro though more often than not, I think we focus more on the retro. I woukd enjoy more dialogur on the subject and this can perhaps make us more conscientious of our topics.
