The Sega Addicts Podcast

This week on Sega Addicts, Brett breaks Scotty while we discuss the stylish classic NiGHTS Into Dreams.  We talk about sequels that we thought surpass the originals, spend entirely too long (or not long enough, depending on how you look at it) talking about good food and things you shouldn't eat, and share our favorite ways to relax.

This week on Sega Addicts, we blow Brett's mind while discussing everyone's favorite childhood memory, Sonic Spinball!  We also grumble about Tom Kalinske being a grump, discuss how dangerous horror games would be with VR functionality, and argue half-heartedly about our OTPs.  If that weren't enough, we spend far too long harassing Nick about Full House.  Sorry, Nick.

This week on Sega Addicts, we discuss possibly one of our most frustrating games yet, Vectorman.  We also weigh in on who our favorite villains are and game crossovers with other media franchises we'd like to see.  If that weren't enough, Tom starts a wonderful tradition of bombarding us with silly questions from beyond the grave.

This week on Sega Addicts, we say a sad goodbye to Tom by discussing another classic RPG of his choosing- Phantasy Star 4, with special guest Professor Segaface.  We also discuss modern changes that could be made to classic characters to make them more interesting and get perhaps a bit excessively in depth concerning our favorite video game controllers.  We will miss Tom dearly, but rest assured- we haven't seen the last of him.

This week on Sega Addicts, we're going off the rails on this Crazy... Taxi? We spend some time reminiscing about (and in some cases getting to know) everyone's favorite cabbie simulator. We also get into the rather heated topic of which video game characters should die. There's apparently a LOT of characters we could do without. Who knew?

This week on Sega Addicts, we spend some quality time talking about everyone's favorite game, Battletoads.  We also swap stats on the games we've spent way too long playing, talk about what motivates us to continue playing certain games, and do a bit of reflecting on what we feel Sega could do to improve their business practices.

This week on Sega Addicts, we discuss one of Tom's favorite RPGs of all time, Phantasy Star II. We also talk about what whether or not it's possible to implement game over or death screens in a way that enhances a game and think a little too hard on how to make mundane tasks extreeeeeme, as Tak Fujii would put it.

This week on Sega Addicts, we welcome Brett back to the show by discussing one Sonic's finest moments in recent history, Sonic Generations. We also talk about what it would be like to remove features from certain games and spend way entirely too long converting video game titles into porn titles. Just another day!

This week on Sega Addicts, we discuss what's considered one of the worst successful games ever, Sonic Adventure.  We talk about games that fooled us with nostalgia glasses, swap weird work stories, and share what fuels our High Velocity Bowling habits while Scotty frowns.

We also forgot to mention what we're playing for the Thursday Night Throwdown this week, which is Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.  See you then!

This week on Sega Addicts, we're feeling the need for speed.  We discuss Outrun in honor of its shiny new 3D Classics release, discuss our favorite game series that got shot to hell, and share some ideas on how to make free-to-play games more enjoyable.  We also discuss what terrible shenanigans we got into growing up.

Brett didn't happen.  What also didn't happen was us mentioning what we'll be playing for the Thursday Throwdown this week.  We'll be playing Smash Bros for WiiU, so if you'd like to join us, get at us on Twitter or in the comments.
