Hi Billybob476. I've just discovered your podcast and I'm running through it like a madman! Thank you, it is a wonderful show an your approach is unique and fascinating. I wish I had discovered it prior to your Beneath a steel sky episode as it probably is my favourite game of all time, and I have never written in to a show of any type before. :)

How about doing an episode on "The Settlers" ? The first two games are classics, and while many people seem to enjoy 3-6 as well, my opinion is that the game really hasn't returned to it's root until the recent release of "Settlers 7", which is one of the best strategy games of recent years. Settlers was a very unique and holds up quite well. Settlers 2 is still as playable and still as brilliant today as it ever was.

Keep up the good work! And keep running, as they say. ;)

Thanks!

Great job on the Dark Forces episode. Loved hearing your thoughts and it brought back memories of playing the games in 1995.

Here are some twitch streams of me very ineptly playing Thief! I'll get past the second mission one of these days.

And I'm back online! Podcast will be out this Sunday.

Welcome everyone! Tech is currently fiddling with my Internet connection.
