KingK (39:29) joins the show to talk to Trav and Alex about his process, his voice, and more! How many words does it take to build an hour long YouTube script? Lots. In the preview, Alex and Trav take emails about color palettes, games to play with significant others, and unsuspectingly good rentals from back in the day. At some point, Fred Durst is talked about for a little too long.

Alex (SNESdrunk) and Trav (NESfriend) relax around the drunkfriendpodcast@gmail.com inbox and read a few notes from listeners and answer some questions. What grinds their 8 and 16 bit gears?

On this episode, listen as Trav geeks out right in front of one of his favorite Magfest folks (Magfolk?), Noah McCarthy (30:20). Noah is the "front-man" for Bit Brigade, an 8-bit jam band that rocks out while Noah does a relaxed-fit speedrun of a classic NES game. It's a spectacle to behold!

This week, we're visited by Nick (40:29), the creator of the retrogaming website Racketboy.com, which has been around since ye olden days of 2004. We discuss how coverage of retrogaming content has changed over the years, what its like to have your writing and research picked apart, retro game pricing changes and what influences those prices, baseball video games, and lots of other stuff. If you're a collector folk, you'll enjoy this one.

Pete Dorr stops by (25:28) to chat about game collecting, the weird CD-i catalog, Lassie on PS2, Ebay prices, E3, and more!

On this episode, Alex (SNESdrunk) and Trav (NESfriend) are joined by Tony Brasel, a long time retro-gaming YouTuber who knows more about Mega Man than the average retro-fan.

Before the guest shows up, Trav and Alex respond to a pair of emails centered on video game movies!

Trav and Alex return after a week off to answer a few emails and rank their Top 13 handheld games that aren't Switch games, or ports, or remakes, or mobile games. There are a lot of rules. Alex goes on about hockey at some point, Trav gets defensive about his game collection, and Truxton gets a mention.

This week, Trav and Alex talk about guests they'll never realistically have on the show for various reasons! Because reasons. I mean, some of it is legit reasons, but other is because of "reasons" reasons.

This week on DrunkFriend, we talk Metallica with State of Mercury, a fellow who's made a channel that captures the sound and aura of Metallica albums of years past, and applies their unique sounds to different Metallica songs. (For example, what would "My Friend of Misery" sound like if it were on "...And Justice For All?")

In this episode, Trav and Alex bring on the leading company! Renown YouTube music theorist, 8-bit Music Theory, swings by (at 23:45) to share some insight on what inspires him, how his videos are made, and a crazy coincidence involving jazz musicians, professors, Japanese gaming companies, and a business simulator. Alex should get a Switch.

On this episode of DrunkFriend, Trav (NESfriend) and Alex (SNESdrunk) answer some ancient emails that mostly scream at Alex over dissing Doom Eternal, not owning a switch, and not watching every YT video ever made.

In this episode, Alex (SNESdrunk) transforms into James Hetfield and Trav tries to keep things under control but can't hold back his adoration for their guest (at 26:11), Jon (jonnyethco, Neebs Gaming, Hank&Jed) who creates funny web cartoons and comedy lets play content.

It's old people central here with lots of meandery discussions between Trav (NESfriend), Alex (SNESdrunk), and Pam (Cannot Be Tamed).
