Video JettLeave a comment

Many moons ago, Jason, Mat, and I used to host the Recurring Bosscast on Splitkick. When the site shuttered in 2014, all of the episodes disappeared with it.

In case you missed it, almost all of the episodes are back on YouTube! Listen in as we discuss games and topics surrounding gaming at the time, including the tail end of the Xbox 360/PS3/Wii era, the start of the Xbox One/PS4/Wii U era, and a whole host of random stuff in between!

Though it took a ton of work to convert all of these into videos, upload them, and upload my original posts, it was important to us that we have these publicly available for archival purposes. Hope you enjoy!

The Recurring Bosscast: 037- It Was the Blurst of Times

Twitch Plays Pokemon is the focus of this week’s discussion. Is this crowd play concept a flash in the pan or the genesis of something bigger? After that, the show kind of falls off a cliff and it mercifully ends after we sing “I Will Remember You” by McLachlan together.

Games Mentioned: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Bravely Default, Strider, Ticket to Ride, Legendary: Fantastic 4 expansion
