Show Notes

Because he started us off last time (and even though he was the guest for this one), Squidge introduced the episode and the idea behind it:

Waffling Taylor's Lite: the pocket size podcast that packs a gaming punch.

In this serving of bite-sized banter with a side of gaming goodness, we catch up with Nomad from the Retro Wildlands gaming podcast about the Resident Evil 4 remake. Spoilers included.

Take it away, guys.

— Squidge

The WT Lite series of episodes will be peppered in alongside the "standard" episodes, so keep an eye out for them. These episodes allow us to focus specifically on a specific game or series, and really focus on our guest's thoughts. But before the episode got bogged down with talk of Resident Evil 4, Squidge wanted to know about Nomad's podcast:

So I have a podcast that I call the Retro Wildlands, where in said podcast, I explore the gaming Wildlands where I replay a video game that I played when I was growing up. Or I play a new to me video game, especially retro related titles.

In each episode, I'll review the game, but my show is a lot more than that. I'll take you, dear listener, into the game experience by combining music and sound effects from the game in such a way that if you've never played the game before, you'll know what I'm talking about when I'm done. Or if you have played the game before, you'll have a nice trip down nostalgia lane.

And the Retro Wildlands is on all the major pods. Spotify, itunes, PocketCasts, all the podcasting platforms so you can find us with ease if you want to join me on my expedition

— Nomad

Favourite Resident Evil Protagonist?

Every Resident Evil fan has their favourite protagonist (or good guy), and Squidge wanted to know who is Nomad's favourite:

It's something that I've struggled with for a long time, and I think depending on my mood, I'm going to have different answers. But I have to give it to Leon. And it's not just because we're talking about the Resident Evil Four remake or any of that right now.

He's always been a fascinating character for me ever since the original Resident Evil 2, the rookie cop that doesn't know what he's getting into, that just he has a sense of justice and duty about him, and he wants to do the right thing, but he can't seem to save everyone around him.

And as he grows throughout other Resident Evil titles, I like how heartened he can kind of be, but at the same time, he still has this edge of humour behind him. And he's, to me, one of the more relatable characters out of the series

Ever find yourself wanting to dive into a conversation about games that doesn't take itself too seriously? That's the space Arrggh! A Video Game Podcast from The Waffling Taylors happily occupies. Hosted by brothers Jay and Squidge-the latter's exact species (cartoon wolf?) is a running mystery-this show is a genuine, often hilarious chat between siblings who love this medium. Their discussions effortlessly bounce from deep dives on retro classics and brand-new releases to the often-baffling world of video game film adaptations. While the core of the podcast is their easy-going dynamic, they regularly bring on fantastic guests, including genuine legends from game development, which adds layers of insight you won't find elsewhere. One moment you might be parsing the lore of a beloved franchise, and the next you're deep in a light-hearted tangent about something completely unrelated, and that's the charm. It feels less like a formal production and more like you're hanging out with friends who happen to know a ridiculous amount about pixels and polygons. If you're after a mix of informed commentary, nostalgic warmth, and unscripted silliness, this podcast from The Waffling Taylors has you covered.
