Jason David Frank joined Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the 17th episode of its first season. Green with Evil was the title, but fans latched onto the character of Tommy almost immediately. and while he was introduced as the "evil" Power Ranger, Tommy wouldn't stay that way for long, going on to become the show's longest running cast member and by far the most popular.

For this episode, we pay tribute to his memory.

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!!

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).
