Still Loading #286: Rocking Chairs, Halo 2 and LAN Party Memories
Listen now
Description
This episode has long been in the making. Back in August I shared on social media that I finally was having my mom on the show, though I kept it vague as to what she was coming on to talk about. This episode is a bit hard to describe what it's about, but at it's core it is a very personal episode for me. I'm joined by my Mom, my friend CJ and my friend Jamie to talk about the various memories of gaming growing up. And while this isn't focused solely on memories of a games, console or genre; it is focused on memories of gaming with friends.... kinda. In the episode I call it gaming in a social space, if that even makes sense. This episode is filled with stories of times when I would play games outside of the standard living room setup or the classic game night sleepover. It is about the times when video games were bigger than the worlds they inhabited on the TV. This episode is about Rocking Chairs, Halo 2 and LAN Parties.   Songs used: 1: Name: Donkey Kong 64: Jungle Japes (Vector U Remix) Artist: Vector U Album: N/A https://soundcloud.com/vector-u/jungle-japes 2: Name: Dragon Roost Island Artist: Mikel Album: Zelda & Chill https://gamechops.com/zelda-and-chill/ 3: Name: Sierra-117 Artist: Laura Platt Album: N/A https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03198 4: Name: ReMix - StarCraft "Creep Colony" Artist: Cory Johnson Album: N/A https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR04269 5: Name: Melee (Smash Bros Remix) Artist: James Landino Album: Smooth McGroove Remixed https://gamechops.com/smooth-mcgroove-remixed/ 5: Name: Out of Time  Artist: Mykah Album: Halloween EP https://gamechops.com/halloween/ 6: End Song: Escape from the City (City Escape) Artist: Super Lofi 64 Album: N/A https://gamechops.com/escape/   Check out the Bit by Bit Foundation! https://www.bitbybitfoundation.org/ Support the Podcast! https://www.patreon.com/stillloadingpod Want to buy some Still Loading merch? https://www.teepublic.com/user/still-loading-podcast
