For those unaware, we have a set format for each episode where we review a game from our childhood and a current gen game. We then preview a future game that we are excited with.

Let us know if there is a game that you would like us to have a look at next!

We have received a request to look at the state of AFL video games over the past couple of generations.

We think it would make for an interesting discussion as we were very big on the first AFL Live game.

How have people found the last couple of games?

Is there any chance of a reboot on the new generation of consoles?

Let us know your thoughts, we are after some good comments to read out and respond to.

Doing an E3 episode? I see it is being Twitch'd and the like I have but no time to keep up with stuff like that.

 

[Quivorir]

Curious, how many subs you have?

IMO there hasn't been a good AFL game since Aussie Rules Footy.

AFL live was a very very solid foundation to build off though, for what it was I thought it was brilliant.

Yeah, the next one will definitely be E3 themed as well. Probably dedicate our "future" section purely to that.

The highlight for me was the perfectly formed flat top on this bad boy.

Always reminded me of a maori.

Does anyone have thoughts on E3 they'd like to share for the podcast?

Would you like us to do the show for you as well or just the ideas for it?

But seriously was talking to Pants the other day about childhood games and he said he would love someone to review one of his favorites, thought the show could do it

That was a private chat.

Hey, I've seen people trophy farm far worse!

Why is he talking to a mushroom?

Cutting edge graphics there!

Do you remember the sound it makes when you kick the ball?

Used to make me laugh, sounds nothing like a ball being kicked.

 

[Mighty P]

Why is he talking to a mushroom?

I don't think it's a mushroom, I think it's a brown wang.

 

[Chief]

I don't think it's a mushroom, I think it's a brown wang.

Just looked at the pic again. It is!

 

[pantskyle]

My childhood is ruined!!!

 

[manureid]

My childhood is ruined!!!

By a brown wang...controversial.

 

[8bittotheFuture]

... I can't unsee it now

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Born late 80's, it's hard to go past this original (pretty sweet bed spread):

However, if you had one of these on top of your SNES, you had every game and very enjoyable arvo's/evenings after school:

 

[ThePezDispenser]

I don't think it's a mushroom, I think it's a brown wang.

Having looked at that for the first time in about 8 years, wang was the first thing that came to mind!

 

[The Speaker]

It's quite clearly a mushroom.

I think you all may need to go see your GPs.
