Original air date: February 25, 2013 Do you know why pi is an irrational number? Because it loves you unconditionally. It doesn’t care who you are, where you’re from, what you did, so long as you’re not a prime number (old hatreds die hard). Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music for an 8 Bit RPG” (Twitter @thebenlandis) The musical Interlude...

Original air date: February 11, 2013 This house of podcast cards we’ve built is falling apart around us. Bailey and Jason pick games that Hunter can’t trash talk, Hunter makes a revelation about the Retro Showdown rules, and the union we contracted to make our header images is on strike, so we had to make do. We’ve had a good run, guys. Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adve...

Original air date: February 4, 2013 DING! Dr. Juggernaut is DING! here in full force, and he brought DING! along a strong addition DING! to his DING! medical DING! team: a bell. (DING!) In other news, we make the official decision on the best point-and-click adventure game of all time, and we spend a bit too much time talking about dancing phalli. DING! Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis o...

Original air date: January 28, 2013 “Stop dribbling, Scottie!” Michael Jordan said as the T-rex stared them down. “Their vision is based on movement!” Charles Barkley mumbled something about chaos theory.

Original air date: January 21, 2013 In this episode, we answer a listener email and Bailey tries to coin a new phrase. The coining process was more of a failure than my sock puppet piano lesson business (Sock puppets can’t play piano, nor do they have any inclination to learn). Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music for an 8 Bit RPG” (Twitter...

Original air date: January 15, 2013 IT WAS YOU! IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG!

Original air date: January 7, 2013 Take a slow, deep breath. Find your centre. Imagine your future. Zen your meditation. Now, turn to your left, exhale, and spit out mulched grass. This is the first step on your spirit journey. The second step is listening to the podcast past the break. Also, emailing us is good for your karma. Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in...

Original air date: December 31, 2012 It’s the last podcast of 2012, and we’ve got a packed show for you: A listener email, a new impromptu segment involving horrible chewing noises, and some great moments when we reminisce about how Bob Hope pulled down the ref’s pants and dunked on the opposite team’s captain. Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credit...

Original air date: December 26, 2012 Wake yourselves! The British are coming with a new episode of the podcast! Our forward scouts report they’ve got a great discussion question this week suggested by a listener email, and an all-Nintendo Retro Showdown.

Original air date: December 11, 2012 May I interest you in some fish, fish-related games, or terrible fish-puns? No? Don’t be a crab; I cod find some good ones for you! I’m sorry if you think that pun was carp, but thinking of these in a snapper is difficult. … I’ll sea myself out. Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music for an 8 Bit RPG” (Twi...

Original air date: December 2, 2012 012 – Cross Dimensional Pollution Genocide Hey guys, Andrew here. I just want to tell you all that I have literally no idea what’s going on with the title of this podcast. I chose Galactus as the background image because he’s the closest non-offensive thing I could find that’s related to the title. Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventu...

Original Air Date: November 26, 2012 If Mothra destroys Tokyo, and Godzilla destroys Tokyo and Mothra, should we call on Godzilla? This is the Godzilla Conundrum. We talk about this and other great theories with our Canadian Sandwich: Jason Lamb, Tom Hall and Andrew Carreiro! Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music for an 8 Bit RPG” (Twitter @...

Original air date: November 19, 2012 As the flux capacitor winds down, the podcast trio step out from the frosty DeLorean with a healthy amount of dry ice fog pouring out. They’re back from the future, and they’ve brought with them our first listener email! Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music for an 8 Bit RPG” (Twitter @thebenlandis) The m...

Original air date: November 12, 2012 We’ve done it. We have successfully tunnelled a high five (theoretically) through the Internet. That’s the good news. The bad news is that both Erics are going to be a little less handy around the site. Because their hands were destroyed. In the tunnelling. Podcast! Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music f...

Original air date: November 5, 2012 Do your eyes get bored when your ears have to do all the work? Do you like podcasts, but wish there was something to look at? Fear not! Our scientists at 1 More Castle Labs™ have created a new thing we like to call “Podcast-o-vision”: It’s a podcast, but on YouTube! Hit the jump for the video and classic versions of the podcast. Our Intro and Outro music is by B...

Original air date: October 29, 2012 BOO! Scared yet? No? Well, you will be! Did you expect Jason on this episode? He’s not! We have Andrew on, and he’s Skyping in froooom the graaaaaave!!!

Original air date: October 22, 2012 We’ve got a great show that runs a bit on the long side, but we guarantee every minute of it is packed with retro gaming awesomeness. The trio ask if a video game had ever made them cry, and things get vicious in the Retro Showdown. Be sure to vote and tell us what you think of the episode! Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in P...

Original air date: October 15, 2012 Jason forgot to bring a REAL GAME this week again, and instead brought another mod to contend against the honest and true games that the Erics brought. The trio also discuss whether a perfect video game could exist, and in an unforeseeable twist of fate, they come to no clear consensus. Tell us what you think in the comments! Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben...

Original air date: October 8, 2012 Is it a game? Is it a mod? Is it a taco? The 1 More Podcastle trio cut up this question for the ages into bite size, sushi-style chunks of wisdom for your auditory consumption. We don’t guarantee that the question actually gets answered, but to distract you from that there is a good bit of discussion earlier about how important music is in retro gaming. Have an o...

Original air date: October 1, 2012 Hunter’s back this week, and so are two concurrent channels of audio! This episode has it all: controversial opinions, vaguely football-esque games, and another trip to the weird part of the internet for Shaq-Fu. Our Intro and Outro music is by Ben Landis off his album Adventures in Pixels – “Credits Music for an 8 Bit RPG” (Twitter @thebenlandis) The musical Int...

Original air date: September 25, 2012 Well, it didn’t take long for things to go completely off the rails. Our Technical Editor, Andrew, is subbing in for Eric Hunter this week, we find ourselves on several tangents, and we may have painted hate mail targets on ourselves. You be the judge!

Original air date: September 18, 2012 Welcome to the inaugural episode of 1 More Podcastle! Eric Bailey, Eric Hunter, and Jason Lamb chat about what they’ve been playing, and then argue about who brought the best game to the podcast.
