Press the Power Button!
March 19, 2013 11:40 PM Subscribe
The Power Button is the podcast from Press the Buttons, a site about gaming that I've been reading for a while. The first thing I noticed was a refreshing treatment of the Gamecube as something more than just a baby's toy. The site's run by one man, Matthew Green, but has such extremely professional standards that you'd never know it apart from the tag line. Contained within are several interesting regular themes, like Beyond Beeps that covers early video game music which is actually quite good despite the beepy-ness, and Secret Origins relating personal and remarkably interesting stories concerning when and how he obtained various games, really. The latest entry is about him proposing to his girlfriend. There's a new weekly pool approximately every Monday, and articles like Open Up The Zelda Box about unique and interesting things that keep me coming back. In the podcast, he talks with a couple co-hosts and occasionally has guests.
I'd like to share a few of my favorite episodes ...
Episode 36: AJ LoCascio Takes Us Back To The Future! (Plus A Discussion On Time Travel Games) An interview with the voice actor for Marty McFly in Back to the Future who's more than just another sound-alike.
Episode 69: Heated Discussions Regarding Uncharted 3 And Super Mario 3D Land Which proves they can strongly disagree with one another without losing intellectual credibility.
Episode 68: Arkham City's Last Laugh Warning! Mega extreme spoilers - if you haven't played the game (and want to), do not listen! Otherwise make sure you listen all the way to the end.
Episode 95: The Force Is With Neil Sorens Of Zen Studios And Star Wars Pinball I love Star Wars, and am also quite fond of pinball. Too bad it wasn't Episode 94, for Docking bay 94!
