“Fandango… now that that is out of the way! Let me get on to the review.
Retronauts has walked, and ran, in my shoes for the last 2 years… literally. Whether that be walking in boots in Afghanistan or jogging down a lonely trail at midnight, hearing the soothing sounds of retro video game music and discussions helps me to focus on the better things in life besides life itself.
One of the greatest things about Retronauts is that, because it talks about old games, you are never late to the party. These days, as I'm sure many gamers can agree, I simply don't have time to play all of the new hotness in video gaming, so being able to listen to in-depth discussions about old games is refreshing. I've taken it upon myself to actually listen to every Retronauts podcast dating back to 2008. Currently I am still sitting in the 2010 era, but everyday is a podcast closer to victory.
As stated previously, I just recently arrived back from a deployment to Afghanistan, where I listened to Retronauts religiously. While I was away, I also ran a marathon around Bagram Air force Base, and guess what was playing in my ear for the majority of that 4+ hour race? You got it. So please, if you haven't yet, take the time to listen to an episode of Retronauts and revel in the glory that this creative group of individuals has managed to stitch together from all of our fond gaming memories.”
