Fortunately the stuff that was awesome is still awesome. Unfortunately the nightmare segments are still shit too, though. If you haven't played Max Payne, you play as this bitter undercover cop who saw his family killed by drug junkies and he's had enough and started going scorched earth on everyone that moves. You basically go from room to room killing people and every now and then it gets interrupted by gritty comic book panels. Add int he ability to slow time Matrix style and you got yourself a classic. The bitterest man I know, my buddy Tyler, is my guest this week and we did the thing where we sit down and talk about games and does anyone even read these??? And before we slow things down, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week someone asks what 5 games I think I've spent the most time playing in my life? How do I feel about WWE 2K26's new battle pass system? And would Video and Arcade Top 10 work as an adult show in 2026?? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 games featuring coppers: LA Noire, Sleeping Dogs, and Dead to Rights.

Comedian Adam Blank invites you to pull up a chair for Remember The Game? Retro Gaming Podcast. This isn't a dry recap of release dates or technical specs. Instead, each episode feels like cracking open a time capsule with a friend. Adam and a guest choose one title from their past-a cartridge they rented a dozen times or a disc that defined a summer-and just talk about it. The conversation meanders through personal memories, the sheer joy of discovering a hidden level, the frustration of a cheap boss fight, and the unmistakable music that’s still stuck in their heads decades later. You’ll hear the laughter and camaraderie that comes from shared, albeit sometimes very specific, experiences. The goal of this podcast is to capture that specific feeling of being a kid again, trading secrets by the lockers or arguing about which game was truly the best. It’s less about critique and more about connection, built on a foundation of pixels and nostalgia. Tune in for a warmly familiar, often hilarious chat that celebrates the games that shaped us, one deeply personal and wonderfully digressive story at a time.
