Podcast #68 - Cult Classics for the Brogamer

[dsheinem]

Didn't that thread about cult classics specifically say not to discuss downloadable-only titles? And no discussion of Shadows of the Damned?

nope.

I think the point he was making was that some of the titles being downloadable will make them not as soughy after and bring down their potential for being a cult classic.

In an age where almost all media of all periods is regularly available and accessible, I don't think that rarity/availability has anything to do with the future "cult" status of something.

good show guys, i have a suggestion on people to interview though. You could try get some youtubers that do retro game stuff like the guys from Game Sack or Johnny from Happy Console Gamer (OMG that would be awesome!!!) or AVGN (that would be hard because he's so busy). If you done shows with them before then sorry but im a noob to Racketboy.

There was one episode (I think it was a live one at Too Many Games) with James Rolfe on it.

I guess I forgot the point you were trying to make when you were distinguishing if available digitally or now. I guess I need to go back and listen again.

This is true...

Dave and John actually record at completely separate times. I'm tasked with stitching what they say together so it resembles a facsimile of a conversation.

that explains why they often seem to be talking about completely different things... at the same time the other is talking!
