Tales of the Lesser Medium: Episode 1: Resident Evil - Down at the Fang Hole
On July 24, 1998, some bizarre murders occur just outside of Raccoon City and an elite special forces division, S.T.A.R.S., is called in to investigate. That's where our story begins as we venture into Capcom's scary mansion mystery title that kicked off an unforgettable franchise. Join Travis Terry and Caleb J. Ross as they navigate the story of Resident Evil.
Episode 116: Champing to be Back
Alright, they're back again, this time with a real episode and not that supplemental crap that you all put up with last time. This ep sees Jake and Trav talking about haircuts, Darksiders 3, Mario Golf, and a few notable personal accomplishments.
DrunkFriend 10: Kulor, Pearl, and a lot of Confusion
On this episode, Alex starts out by himself, completely clueless as usual, before Kulor warps in from nowhere! We talk for 30 minutes about chiptunes and how he got started making music, before he mysteriously warps out again... Alex is so freaked out and disoriented that his longtime girlfriend Pearl stops by to calm him down and talk some Final Fantasy VII Remake (as well as Extra Innings for SNES...?) But as soon as she leaves, Alex is back to ranting to himself before Trav stops by to get things back on a professional level, as we talk school, YouTube scheduling, and a lot more!
DrunkFriend 9: Caleb J. Ross & Musty Hobbit
On this episode, it's just Trav as Alex proves to us he's not a robot, or at the very least, not a time lord. On this episode Trav gets serious for about five minutes to talk about overcoming the things that keep us from being creative and asks his guest the same. The first guest is Caleb J. Ross, an author and YouTuber, who is co-hosting an all new podcast coming to the Polykill network on May 26th (Tales of the Lesser Medium). The second guest is someone very valuable to the Cartridge Club (CartridgeClub.org) and also has a keen eye for NESfriend errors. You won't want to miss this one.
Polykill Supplemental: New Hotness
With several obstacles blocking the literal and proverbial path between Jake and Trav making another episode this week, they've put together a quick episode to tease you with snippets from two brand new shows that will be coming from the hosts!
DrunkFriend 8: Robert from Classic Gaming Podcast
Another DrunkFriend podcast! But where's Travis? He has some actual important stuff to attend to this week, and Alex quickly realizes that this podcast business is not as easy as it sounds. As he begins to panic, he is bailed out by longtime podcaster Rob of the Classic Gaming Podcast! The two talk about how his podcast started and all the long running jokes that have developed over the years, the Final Fantasy series, being embarrassed at our early work, video game remakes, guitar stuff, and a lot more! Remember to rate and review the podcast and reach out to drunkfriendpodcast@gmail.com
(Also I was overserved, maybe just a tad. I also misinterpreted Karsten's question. I blame the whiskey.)
DrunkFriend 7: Friday Night Arcade
On this week's DrunkFriend, Travis and Alex sit down with Aaron from the YouTube channel Friday Night Arcade, who tells some great stories about how he ended up learning audio production, what his YouTube experience has been like so far, and pairing video game footage with 80s TV theme songs! We answer some listener emails and questions, as well as talk about the ESPN Docu-series "The Last Dance." We get into some 90s NBA talk as Alex speaks of the highs and lows of basketball card collecting as a kid, and Trav tells a hilarious story that prominently involves Tim Hardaway's leg.
Episode 115: Cut My Triforce Into Pieces
This time around we get some more beats, some new listener questions, and a new year's resolution or two get completed! Jake has some catching up to do on the rest of these resolutions though, his work is still cut out for him.
DrunkFriend 6: Cannot Be Tamed
It's back to guests on this DrunkFriend as Travis and Alex sit down with Pam from the YouTube channel Cannot Be Tamed. What's the evolution of her channel been like? How does dealing with mean commenters affect her? What was being a playtester like? And more! Alex divulges how his week of weirdmess has gone with the releases of comedy inspired videos on Wizard of Oz and Race Drivin'. Trav is louder!
Off-Killter: Crunchwrap Coincidence
Self isolation and social distancing can't stop the Off-Killter, and this time we even brought along a friend. Guest @MustyHobbit joins the discush.
DrunkFriend 5: Grappling with Podcasting and 90's Wrestling
On this installment of DrunkFriend, Trav and Alex take a break from guests to check in on how each other thinks the podcast is going thus far. It's hard to get two 90's nerds together and them not talk about pro wrestling so this episode has a moderately deep dive into 90's wrestling video games as well as what got these two invested in this totally real sport as 90's kids. Earliest memories? Favorite wrestlers? What's the weather like in Albuquerque? As always, the show ends on listener questions. Send yours to drunkfriendpodcast@gmail.com!
Episode 114: Buns of Steel
In the first-ever remotely recorded Polykill episode, Jake finally beats a game and seems to have some fun in the process. Trav bests a bevy of licensed and sports games during the past few weeks as well. Also, Trav wanted me to put in here that he knows a lot about video games and has several podcasts.
DrunkFriend 4: Daria Plays RPGs
In the fourth episode of DrunkFriend, Trav (NESfriend) and Alex (SNESdrunk) sit down with long time friend Daria and discuss the inspirations, processes, and struggles involved with keeping her YT channel going. Trav throws down the gauntlet for a hamburger eating challenge with a listener, Alex reads some bizarre comments from his channel, and Daria has some opinions on Breath of Fire!
Off-Killter: Quarantine Routine
The guys discuss life in quarantine, and starting a sled resort.
DrunkFriend 3: Console Wars Dan is Keanu Cobain?
In this third episode of DrunkFriend, the hosts Trav (NESfriend) and Alex (SNESdrunk) are joined by Dan of Console Wars! Dan talks about how and why he started his YouTube channel and the changes sustained over time like finding a new co-host and keeping the show going. Learn about the pros and cons of a channel centered on being purposefully confrontational in identifying all the quirky differences between Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games. Patreon questions round out the show with talk of favorite Final Fantasy games, biggest surprises in gaming, and fanboyism!
Off-Killter: Pluto was a Planet
The guys discuss COVID-19, journaling, and the Satanic Panic.
DrunkFriend 2: Weren't There Supposed To Be Guests?
In the second episode of DrunkFriend, Alex (SNESdrunk) describes why there are no guests this time around thanks to a technical oopsie and Trav (NESfriend) finds a mysterious rabbit hole in an unexpected place when researching a little-known NES title. There's talk about moose blood, rental stores, arcades, and pesky fighting games here too!
Episode 113: Burnout Paradise
Well, it's been a long time coming, but Trav finally beat a game. Been ages. Anyway, this episode gets a little introspective as the hosts discuss what keeps them from playing games and how they do their best to combat the things that keep them from their favorite hobby.
DrunkFriend 1: The Hell Are We Doing
In this pilot episode, retrogaming enthusiasts Trav (NESfriend) and Alex (SNESdrunk) become acquainted through talking about their individual YouTube channels and their inspirations for getting into the hobby.
