Brad and Dylan are back to discuss one of the most important gaming companies of all time...and the rough state of their games.  Castlevania!  Silent Hill!  And Wario's dietary habits?

This week marks not only the PlayStation's 25th birthday but also Sony's 25th year as one of the top dogs in the home console business. And we can't think of a better guest to have on the show than Terry Diebold--the only guy who owns the actual reason Sony became the juggernaut we know today: the Nintendo PlayStation prototype. A super-friend of the Dogcast, Terry talks to us about his recent decision to put the Nintendo PlayStation for sale and what it is like to field offers for the rarest console in known history. And beer. The guy sure likes his beer. But wait! There's more! We also welcome GoCollect founder and CEO Jeff Meyer to the podcasting table! GoCollect also happened to be the main sponsor of this year's PRGE and Jeff sits down to talk with us about how his love for collecting comics spurred the genesis of the company and how GoCollect is now helping video game collectors obtain what they need. Oh, and Jeff tells us the story about how he may have "accidentally" bought one of the most coveted com

Today, gather 'round and help the Dogcast give a big ol' "Yippee-ki-yay" to the incredible Mr. Wizard (aka Evil Jarrad). Who would have known that working on race cars would eventually lead to the creation and development of some of the most unique and sought-after game reproductions on the planet--on everything from PC, to NES, to Dreamcast just to name a few. And ohthat one time Jarrad's New Ghostbusters 2 NES cart went viral and almost broke the internet. We were super-excited to see the Wizard for a hilarious and unpretentiously-informative chat about a whole bunch of topics, including: - Insight into modern game development on the Sega Dreamcast (also: is it the best system ever?)! - Fist-fights while playing Goldeneye! - Why it's a good idea to beta test games before releasing! - Which retro game controllers would make the best weapon?! - The challenges of tying to support a game devlopment team scattered across the globe. - Any new games on the horizon? - And much more! Follow Jarrad on the internet: -

On this episode your REAL Diamond Dogs of the Dogcast get down and dirty with a retrospective look at the the games of the Hideo Kojima!  You want Solid Snake?  Pssh, of course we got some of that.  We even got your Naked Snakes, your Venom Snakes, your Punished Snakes, your Jake the Snakes, your Steak N' Snakes--whatever you need!  We also discuss if Kojima is really a genius or if we've been drinking too much of the Kojima kool-aid all these years. Strap yourselves in for a snake-eatin' good time. ***Also on this episode***: We talk the less-than-stellar launch of Google Stadia. What it's like to attend a Final Fantasy wedding?!

Today we welcome Kinsey Burke (aka KinsZilla) to the Dogcast! A rising force of YouTube and fellow craft beer enthusiast, Kinsey has built a name for herself as a creator of videos which seamlessly meld beer and video games--the two things that we here at the Dogcast hold most sacred--that entertain viewers across the globe! So it's no surprise we were thrilled to sit down with Kinsey and have a real good ol' fashioned face-to-face, beer-to-beer chat at PRGE 2019! We talk Kinsey's recent trip to Japan! We talk beer--including the burgeioning Japan craft beer scene! Helping parents finish games--with graph paper! We even discuss if Sailor Moon is habit forming, and if so, how many suitcases does it take to admit you have a problem (don't worry, take a listen, you'll understand)? And so much more!

Today, we welcome Adam Koralik to the Dogcast! A modern-day digital Renaissance Man and a staple of YouTube for the last decade, you may recognize Adam from many of his projects through the years--whether it be hangin' with Chad Vader: Day Shift Manager (Darth's lesser known offspring), to those lovable Game Society Pimps, to his own classic gaming channel, to much much more. And when Adam's not traveling the world to partake in major game releases (lookin' at you Shenmue 3!), you can probably find him at the world's last remaining Blockbuster video store. Seriously--he's got the membership card to prove it. Oh, and did we mention he was in the room for Keanu Reeve's famous appearance at E3 this year?! Breathtaking indeed! So come on in and get ready for an Epic Chat of Epicness about all things large and small with the one, the only Adam Koralik! And remember everybody: Please Be Kind, Rewind. Visit Adam on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/AdamKoralik Adam's Twitter:@AdamKoralik Hair of the Dogcast is a

One of the most prolific and respected voices in games collecting and preservation, John Hancock is recognized the world over as a foremost expert in the field. John's willingness and generosity to share his knowledge and stories with the gaming community--whether through his popular YouTube channel, numerous convention appearances, this very interview with your friendly neighborhood Dogcast (just to name a few)--has garnered him a reputation that truly is "Immortal". Since embarking on his collecting journey, John has currently amassed an incredible 31 complete game sets--incuding a complete Sega Genesis game collection which was on display at Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Speaking of, John also happens to be one of the founders of PRGE, along with being a chief contributor to the Cowlitz Gamers for Kids--a convention focused on raising money for the ARC of Cowlitz county, WA to assist invdividuals with special needs. If that's not enough for you--the man also knows his beer and football. So we were thrilled t

Hey, do you smell that? No? Well allow me describe it: That's the sweet aroma of two fellas out of Iowa on their way to YouTube super-stardom. Just a mere 6 months ago, Wes and Rob made their podcast debut on Hair of the Dogcast at Midwest Gaming Classic to promote their new YouTube channel about games and beer: Gaming Off the Grid. Since then, Gaming Off the Grid has grown exponentially, cultivating a fanbase that spans the globe, and things have been really, really good for these guys. Like, we're talking "getting-flown-out-by-major-game-companies-to-attend-game-launch-events" good! So it was an absolute blast to catch up with Rob and Wes and chit-chat-paddywhack in the majestic Pacific Northwest at Portland Retro Gaming Expo!

It's Jeremy! It's Bob! It's Darth Vader on a unicycle, playing bagpipes! While all of these folks make an appearance on this episode, only Jeremy Parish and Bob Mackey form the Retronauts--the namesake behind one of the seminal gaming podcasts (retro or otherwise) in the entire galaxy! The Dogcast was thrilled to sit down with Jeremy and Bob at PRGE for a fun, lively chat that covered a whole range of topics. Everything from Jeremy's early days as a writer of strategy guides, to the current state of games journalism, how Bob and Jeremy first met and their earliest collaborations, beer, gin, and we also get a glimpse into what it takes to create an episode of the Retronauts--or how the retro-sausage is made, so to speak. Actually, in hindsight, no one should ever use the term "retro-sausage" again. Ever. Oh, and there may be references to Christopher Walken and bad Full Motion Video games. You have been warned.

With a name like Drunken Master Paul, how can you NOT be welcome on Hair of the Dogcast?! Drunken Master Paul (or DMP for short) is a successful TV and YouTube personality and also a frequent co-conspirator of popular gaming YouTuber Metal Jesus Rocks. We talk about Paul's days working as an employee with Sierra back in the company's heyday, the greatness of Crimson Skies, Windows 95, and possibly give away the password to The Safehouse (one of the coolest drinking establishments ever)! And so much more!   Follow Hair of the Dogcast on Twitter: @HOTDogcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hairofthedogcast Email us: hairofthedogcast@gmail.com Support the Dogcast on Patreon!

It's Halloween, so things are getting all sorts of spoooooky in the Dogcast lounge. Due to an inter-dimensional rift in the time-space continuum (and a couple really bad wigs), our usual hosts have disappeared and this episode of the Dogcast is hosted by Fat Thor, Ken, Satan/Masuda, and some jerk-bro named Chet. Oh, and everybody welcome the newest addition to the Dogcast family: Dylan, our new co-host! Come in if you dare and listen as we recap our trip out west to attend Portland Retro Gaming Expo (PRGE). Spoilers: It was GREAT. Lots of fun stories, some of which may contain Billy Mitchell, a phone, and hot sauce. After that big ol' pumpkin of hilarity, join us as we talk about some of our favorite spoooooky games that have haunted us (in a good way) through our personal gaming stories. Finally, stay tuned for a brief preview of some fun new shows coming to Hair of the Dogcast! We also drink a bunch of great brews and find time to give our impressions of a couple new game releases: The Outer Worlds by Obisi

Pat Contri aka "Pat the NES Punk" has done it all. Not only is Pat one of the few people in the world to have cultivated a complete NES game collection, he is also a popular YouTuber, podcaster, game collector, and most recently, a successful author! Pat's book "Ultimate Nintendo: Guide to the Complete NES Library" has become a best-seller (and a Dogcast favorite) selling out multiple print runs. Pat was gracious enough to stop by The Dogcast at Portland Retro Gaming Expo to jib and jab with us about a whole bunch of stuff: including his just-released follow-up book "Ultimate Nintendo: Guide to the Complete SNES Library", his earliest experiences with the NES, and his ex-childhood friend Kevin.

Here we are, stuck in another lovely episode of the Dogcast with you!  And today we're talking all the new Fall games we've been playing--and also Tetris (because Brad has a problem)! But before we get to that: JOIN US AT PORTLAND RETRO GAMING EXPO on Oct. 19 and 20 in, you guessed it, PORTLAND, OREGON!!! We give the lowdown on Remedy's trippy "Control", get "woke" with the latest Zelda re-make on Switch, switch "Gears" with the newest entry in the franchise on XB1, and finally terrorize and troll the unsuspecting folks of a once-quiet town as the biggest jerk Goose in the world. And it wouldn't be a podcast on the internet if we didn't at least talk a bit about the new Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix.   And we drink a beer by Brewery Vivant inspired by an obscure British band called "Pink Floyd".  Never heard of 'em.  Follow Hair of the Dogcast on Twitter: @HOTDogcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hairofthedogcast Email us: hairofthedogcast@gmail.com Subscribe to Hair of the Dogcast on your favoit
