Press the Power Button!

dtungsten — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 15:53:39 -0800

The Power Button is the podcast from Press the Buttons, a site about gaming that'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 poll approximately every Monday, and articles like Open Up The Zelda Box about unique and interesting things that you don't see on a day to day news site. In the podcast, he talks with a couple co-hosts and occasionally has guests. Here are some of the more interesting 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! Serious story spoilers within this episode, so make sure you've already played the game before you listen. Episode 95: The Force Is With Neil Sorens Of Zen Studios And Star Wars Pinball If you love Star Wars and/or pinball, check this out! Episode 97: Paging Through The Industry Talks about bringing magazine style publications into the digital age.

Chrontendo is a video podcast in which a guy systematically described and discusses every Famicom/NES game released. Currently up to 33 episodes and counting, and covering hundreds of games. Chrontendo was posted to Metafilter back in June. (Thanks, griphus!) Chrontendo has updated since then. Another post about similar projects was made in September. This FPP adds a handy index of episodes by month, well-known games covered, and special features. This post made by permission of jessamyn. I know a lot about video games, but Doctor Sparkle knows a lot more than I do. Hearing him talk, I rage at the screen far less than I do many other video game articles and podcasts.

RIP 1UP & EGM. 1UP.com produced some stellar gaming podcasts. Most of the staff responsible for those have now been laid off. Links to torrented archives and twitters to keep track of former 1UPers.
