S4E22 - Ep 089: Music That Makes Us

Who we become is shaped by many factors including the music we put in our earholes!

Let us take you on a musical journey through a landscape forged mostly of rock and metal. Each Octo-host will present 4 albums that are not just favorites of ours but important. We'll wax about how each one helped make us into the people we are today and why they will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Later on we'll ask you to name an important concert you attended, before finally dropping another new game that plays like an old game with Retro Nouveau!

S4E21 - Ep 088: The Nintendo GameCube Turns 21

Over two decades ago, Nintendo released a great gaming console called the GameCube and by gum, we're gonna talk about it!

Jammed in between the incredibly popular N64 and Wii consoles, Nintendo released a really great system with a tons of exclusive games that unfortunately made a much smaller splash. We are here to celebrate the GameCube just before it's 21st birthday! Nintenjoe will lead the discussion and cover the technical stuff before we start presenting some of our favorite games!

Later on, we'll read the results of our Octoponder This poll to see what our Retroid's favorite series that started on the GameCube is. And finally, 8-Bit Alchemy will take us home with an unexpected DIE MONSTER (that you will now be expecting).

Let's A-Go!!

What do Bracelets, Action Figures, T-Shirts, and Slime have in common? They could all GLOW IN THE DARK!

Lots of toys came in GLOW IN THE DARK varieties, but do you know how they worked? For this episode, we drop a little history and pinch of science of your butts all to answer the question... how do glow in the dark things work?

And before you can say SCARE GLOW, we swing things around to our normal format and each present a handful of phosphorescent fun we remember from when we were kids. Tack on some incredible answers to this week's OCTOPONDER THIS question and a POWER TO THE METAL segment and you got yourself a whole steaming episode of the Retro Ridoctopus cephalopodcast!

S4E18 - Ep 085: Cheat Day!

Because no player can be good ALL the time, we've gathered a slew of gaming's most infamous codes and hidden cheats!

For this episode, Nintenjoe leads us on a journey to dust off some classic video game cheats! We split the discussion in to imputable codes (button sequences you have to press at a certain time) and typable cheats (secrets accessible only by password or by inputting a certain name for your quest). We cover some great ones!

Later on, we'll tackle this week's OCTOPONDER THIS question as well as get another edition of 8-Bit Alchemy's COMPOSE YO'SELF, which does NOT go as planned!

S4E17 - Ep 084: Free Toy Inside / The Bygone Age of Cereal Box Prizes

Remember when breakfast cereals came with prizes right in the box? We sure do!

This episode is definitely part of a balanced breakfast.

Ignoring the dirty looks from mom, this week, we jam our grubby mitts into some cereal boxes to pull out the free toy packed inside! Remember those Wacky Wall Walkers? How about the Nabisco Spoonmen? Listen as we chronicle some of the weirdest and most memorable free prizes from the 50s to the mid aughts!

Later on, we'll tackle this week's Octoponder This and hear which cereal mascot our Retroids think would take the belt in a massive Royal Rumble style battle royal. And Nintenjoe takes us home with another band you need to check out in Power To The Metal!!
