Sexy Sliding Menu - I'm gonna put this to use.

Brian’s back from hiatus, bring Stephen and Crispy back for a video game heavy episode of WhatTheCast. The Atari 2600 turns 30 right as Halo 3 hits the markets … so Brian and Stephen get all nostalgic about interactive fiction (the kids call them “text adventures“).

Do time-traveling Australian pirates listen to this podcast? Can youngsters like Crispy relate to the Atari 2600 and Zork era of gaming? Was E.T. the first attempt at Myst? Can text messaging be combined with text adventures? Can modern beverage tie-ins work with classic video games? And will Stephen’s kids think he’s crazy when he talks about video games in black and white? Listen to Episode 17 and find out!
