If you weren’t able to tune into last week’s podcast live stream — you poor soul, you — despair not; the audio version of the show (with most of the awkward dead air bits cut out for your convenience) is
now online for you to download and enjoy. Retronauts Live episode 10 features myself, Scott Sharkey, and Christian Nutt discussing our love for Mega Man X. Mostly the original game, but also the entire series it spawned. There’s some talk of other Mega Man games as well. And my second random Ranma 1/2 reference in two consecutive shows. I need to write new material.
After the podcast, Sharkey and I repaired to the GameVideos couch to make it as far into Mega Man X as we could manage. There, I discovered that my comrade has terrible hoarding tendencies when he games — tendencies that even extends all the way to refusing to use Mega Man’s sub-weapon energy to clear stages for fear he won’t have enough for the bosses. People’s video gaming neuroses are always so fascinating. We’ve recorded our session for you to enjoy in its original location, or just here in this article.
