Episode 74: Switched On For Summer Gaming
The Six-Button Samurai and @GameAgentET (OGiH) contemplate the arrival of Nintendo Switch 2, offering early impressions after just a couple of sleepless days with the new hybrid console. But the industry writ large is blowing up with news this week, after direct videos from Sony as well as Xbox, not to mention some key announcements our grizzled gaming veterans have been waiting on, such as Season 3 for Street Fighter VI, Resident Evil Requiem (RE9), and the unexpected megaton announcement of Arc Systems' new Marvel fighting game. It's another emotional rollercoaster with your trans-Pacific dynamic duo on OH GOD IT Hz!

Episode 73: The Future Was Now
@GameAgentET (OGiH) welcomes back his cohost The Six-Button Samurai from his forest bathing, and they take some time to reflect on the ongoing debate over price increases that erupted in his absence with Charlie & Hoptimus in Episode 72. (Spoiler: this discussion is bound to dominate the rest of the year and they'll definitely have them back, especially once there's a baseline for how Nintendo's audience is receiving Switch 2 and its more expensive games post-launch.) Beyond that, there's plenty of other things our heroes dish upon, especially with the Switch 2 arriving in stores by the time you hear this, one of...

Episode 72: Crime Doesn’t Pay: Actually, You Might Have to Pay 100 Bucks For It
The Six-Button Samurai is away on a spring vacation for this-here Episode 72. So GameAgentET, opting not to subject our listeners to an unhinged 1-hour soliloquy about the evils of gaming while on the toilet, decides to bring on fellow Ruminators Hoptimus (Retro Futurist Culture, Game Roominations) and Charlie (Brevity Box) for this special show. Discussions are made about the recently-delayed Grand Theft Auto VI, our favorite industry-defining game of our lifetimes, and the sobering new norm of prices going up, up and way up for game systems and software. We three ponder about these price-volatile times… if it’s temp...

We also discuss a simultaneous playthrough of a Squaresoft classic that had eluded both of us in Secret of Mana, and another new Jeff Minter joint, with his wildly frenetic and colorful style now gracing a remake...

@GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six-Button Samurai are joined by @Hoptimus (RFC) of Retro Futurist Culture to grapple with the arrival of Nintendo Switch 2 after the Direct hype cooled a bit. While we're still pretty excited about the hardware itself, the nickel-and-dime nature of charging for updated visuals for older games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (not to mention overall game prices) feel a bit greedy. The gang also takes on the uneven state of fighting games in 2025, specifically some of the upheaval in the Tekken 8 community following their Season 2 launch, some weird marketing moves from...

While @GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six-Button Samurai have been patiently awaiting the much-ballyhooed Nintendo Switch 2 Direct scheduled for April 2nd, in typical Nintendo fashion, they zigged when everyone awaited a zag and dropped a final (?) original Switch-focused Direct the week before. They went about announcing some new titles (including a very real and Duke Nukem Forever-level overdue) Metroid Prime 4, and definitely some surprises one normally associates with PlayStation, such as Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots and Patapon 1 & 2. Is this the beginning of the end for console wars? Not likely, but there's a lot to pick apart on the latest OH...

What Makes A Forever Fighting Game?
As it had been some time since The Six Button Samurai and @GameAgentET (OGiH) had locked in for a ‘proper’ OGIH episode, we batted around a variety of topics in retrogaming. We focus on the new Gold Master Series from Digital Eclipse and The Making of Karateka, and how it addresses preservation of both the game in its various iterations as well as collecting the history of the people around a given project, and how this differs from the approach in M2’s recent shmup releases, which seem more intent on teaching you HOW to play shmups. We love them b...

With successful revival efforts behind Streets of Rage and TMNT having done well commercially and critically, and more making their way out like Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons, it was time for The Six Button Samurai, @GameAgentET (OGiH) and special guest @Hoptimus (RFC) to discuss their love of the genre and how it influences their view of the new breed of beat-em-ups on the market. We each take a crack at calling out the first games that made us fall in love with the form, what our all-time MVPs and sleeper beat-em-ups are, and also spill the...

Episode 8: We Call It The Ocho
The pandemic weighs a bit heavy on your humble hosts (and the game industry) as they find themselves awash in the omicron wave, but there's still plenty of gaming love to be had as Game Agent ET and the Six Button Samurai discuss patches for Pac-Man 99 on the Nintendo Switch, Dracula X: Rondo of Blood on the PC Engine Super CD-ROM, and what Eddy and James think of as the most 'important' games ever released.https://linktr.ee/ohgodithzwww.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNMusic...

Episode V: The N-Pire Strikes Wack
Episode V: The N-Pire Strikes Wack. Although our hosts, GameAgentET and JJJ are lifelong Nintendo players, they strive for objectivity (a good game is a good game regardless of platform), and there's a lot of things that the big 'N' isn't doing well in 2021, particularly with their Nintendo Online service. We also dabble in a bit of rowdy retro ruminations and talk about what company's games we'd play if we could only access one developer's library.www.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNMusic and Production by Mitch...

Episode IV: What Is Original, What Is Theft, and Arcades: Heaven or Hell?From across the pond, ET and JJJ touch on some largish modern games biting features from one another, and what constitutes imitation, flattery, and outright theft. JJJ falls hard for the magnificently remastered Quake, after suffering unplayable framerates as a lad when the game originally dropped with a terrible, terrible PC. Our hosts also go deep on a personal note after learning of fighting legend Daigo Umehara’s quest to face an arcade demon represented by a sinister door and a dark incident. ...

Episode III: The Evils of Crunch-Time and Fear of Your Digital Library Going Poof!
Your trans-Pacific hosts opine on the hive of scum and villainy of a certain AAA game giant being investigated, and the dark parallels between that and the film & television industry and grunts being asked to sacrifice their well-being for big executive paydays. We also touch on the ephemeral nature of digital ‘ownership’ of games and the difficulty of even buying a PS5 or Xbox Series console. Dystopia aside, Ed and JJJ also touch on some modern games they’re enjoying the heck out of right now. (While they can.) www.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/Ruminat...

Episode II: Super Jump-Jump Robot Fighting Love
GameAgent ET and JJJ go deeper into their past gaming lives, and how those funny obsessions and old rituals still creep into their gaming habits today. It’s not all retro though, as they touch upon the future of fighting games with discussion about the last season of Street Fighter V DLC, The King of Fighters XV, and what longtime fans are hoping to see from Street Fighter VI whenever that happens. Also lots of love to be had for Streets of Rage 4 and the Mr. X Nightmare DLC. www.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/Ru...
