In this episode of the RPC podcast, we speak with Rob Duenas and James Bacon, two of Keona’s buddies who worked on the 2010 version of GameFan Magazine, a truly unique gaming publication which saw many editorial turnovers and crazy shenanigans occur behind the scenes. From unpaid contributors to acid-spiked coffee to an utterly shameful printing mishap, GF was truly a chaotic place to work in its original incarnation. But what of the 2010 relaunch? Did Rob and James have the same experiences as their predecessors? Read the show notes and listen to our conversation to find out!

Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it? Let’s find out where Ryan and his artistic collaborators came up with the idea, and what separates the Scouts from the Rangers, by smashing that play button!

Blast Processing - An Interview with Console Wars directors Blake J. Harris and Jonah Tulis!

October 01, 2020 by Neoplasmic in Interview, Podcast, Video Games, RPC Games, Renegade Arcade

Welcome to another special edition of the Renegade Arcade here on the RPC Podcast Network! This episode, Jacob and I had the chance to interview the awesome co-directors of the Console Wars documentary, currently available on CBS All Access! This was an incredible opportunity to speak with fellow gamers about a time which seems so long ago, and yet I still remember it like it was yesterday. Ah, the nostalgia. The documentary, like Harris’ book, is chock full of discussions with industry luminaries like Nintendo’s Howard Lincoln and Gail Tilden, along with Sega’s Tom Kalinske and Al Nilsen. It’s a veritable wealth of first-hand accounts and behind the scenes info, and it is just glorious for gaming history buffs like myself. Click that link and let’s ride the time wave back to the early 1990s!
