2021-09-01 15:39:14 +0000 UTC View PostSo we've got a new bonus credit for you all hopefully tomorrow. This one's an hour long, which led me to wonder... what length do you all prefer? We've done a lot of 30 minute ones which to me (brandon) seemed like a good length because the segments are of variable length and about scattered topics, with no subject intro, etc. But sometimes we just have a lot of extra stuff and it winds up being this long.
I can see a few ways of doing this for months where we've got extra content like...
After Frank's brief absences, the full Insert Credit panel reunites upon their two hundredth battle. The task? Their greatest foe yet: one hundred rapid fire questions from the more than 420 dirtbags at patreon.com/insertcredit. Each panelist has four skips, but will it be enough to survive your best? Find out now!
A SMALL SELECTION OF THINGS REFERENCED:
There's a VJ event happening in a while that Esper and I (brandon, hello) are participating in. Esper's doing the all the actual work, I just chose the music and provided the video.
The video is all taken with one of two crappy digital cameras that I bought during my first trip to Japan in 2003 after discovering they could record short clips, and all the "footage," shaky cam and all, is from that time. I've never shown this stuff anywhere because there's never really been anything to d...

Since this is all thanks to you, I figured I'd give y'all a preview of what's to come with this special episode.
STAGE 1: Esper Quinn, our resident sludgehog, smoked a bunch of weed and wrote a bunch of spacy "I am aware of my hands" style questions.

Questions this week:
... because frank is off doing something for the video game history foundation and didn't respond to my email (hi, it's brandon writing this).
Anyway - we did the list differently this time, where we each brought a personal list of favorites and recommended them one by one. I think it worked pretty well! Obviously with this system not every game would get discussed, so as usual we're presenting our individual lists for your enjoyment.
First, let's have the annotated (and ordered...
Tommy Tallarico, DO NOT LISTEN!! In this very special discussion, Brandon, Frank and Insert Credit regular contributor Liz Ryerson go way in depth on the totally legitimate and not at all disingenuous dealings behind the Intellivision Amico. Don't get ripped off!

To celebrate, Brandon and Frank (American) along with writer, designer and Insert Credit regular Mathew Kumar (Scottish) and legendary game designer Bennett Foddy (Australian) determine the greatest British video games of all time.
THE LIST (in order of discussion)
Hope you care about retro games! This month's Bonus Credit goes way back, celebrating all kinds of consoles I have heard of and read some things about but only vaguely understand what is on them. It's fascinating, I promise!

A SMALL DESCRIPTION OF EPISODES PULLED FROM:
I guess it's a little blurry, oops. But yeah, two episodes back I (brandon) recommended buying games at Good Deal Games because they're just a regular store! And they have games in stock that are expensive on ebay. And if you mention insert credit you can get genesis games $5 off.
So yeah, here are the things I got. Beggar Prince and Magic Girl are two Taiwanese games that superfighter team localized. the quality of the cartridge and manual and everything is pretty nice! And I think al...
Digital Foundry and Eurogamer’s John Linneman joins the panel to consider Mario on the Zune, the fabled Duplidonkus, and most importantly, The Guy Fieri Of Video Games. Original music by Kurt Feldman.
Questions this week:
We were thinking (this is brandon, hello), since we have a discord for recording the show, maybe people here would like to be in it. Would it be too weird and gatekeeping to have the discord be patrons only? Locking discord behind a pay wall feels a little weird, and I'm not even sure how into it folks would be.
On the other hand we already have the forums for everybody, and I'd imagine the discord to be slower paced and more manageable if it were only patrons. Well, let's first start...
Washington Post Video Games Reporter Gene Park joins the panel to cover 3D growing pains, Magic: the Gathering card theft, and the return to that mountain of murder, Violence Island.
Questions this week:
Kurt has made us a new theme for the violence island segment at Jaffe's request. It's not 100% finished yet, but we're giving you a preview! It may or may not feature in the next episode in a couple days, depending on whether it gets finished!
By the way, we WILL have an insert credit EP up on bandcamp eventually. We were waiting for this final song, and some other things to come together. We'll let you know when it's gonna be ready! (in the meantime, please don't share it aroun...
