The Hitching Post

Today we are joined by the new permanent host, PixelsAtDawnGaming as all four of us discuss the Amiga range of computers. From the heady days of the A1000 and A500 up to the A1200 and its ultimate death at the hands of the dire CD32. Have a listen, agree or disagree and then give us some feedback :)

Season 4 Episode 1 back in 2020! Still going strong. In this episode we look at upcoming games and systems in 2020 that interest us and have the most potential for HYPE! Some mainstream AAA games plus some funky selections on the Indie PC scene and the C64 scene. We talk some VR, the pointless Xbox and more.

Today was meant to be a look back on our personal 2019s and look forward to our 2020s but as usual we went off track and bitched about PC VR and how amazing Valve is :) Listen to a personal fireside with Hitch, Grey and Kola. Upcoming projects. Past retro depressions and more. Feel sorry for Greys toothache, he soldiered on regardless and didn't rant about Shenmue 3! It's a record guys. We are bac...

It has been a short 10 years but we come to the end of a decade of gaming and a very turbulent one with changes in how games are delivered to us and with many of them incomplete or hidden behind DLC and Micro-transactions, Day one patches or simple never really completed. But was it is as bad as everyone says?  We chat about some of those changes, though we missed a few due to time rushing ah...

The Dreamcast is in many eyes one of the pinnacles of home gaming. It was so advanced for its time that many even consider that part of SEGAs downfall. No matter your stance on why it failed and why it was last console SEGA would make before the new Megadrive/Genesis Mini there is little doubt that the wondrous white machine was and still is one of the best. Tonight we talk about what made it so g...

On The Hitching Post Podcast today we dumped the wonderful Grey and Kola on the roadside and picked up two starving Game Developers on the road to C64. Join Hitch, Simon Jameson (@EvoluteGames) and Mike Richmond (@richmondmike) as we talk about developing games on the Commodore 64 and Amiga, re-live past glory and gaming and offer a small insight in to the lives of two great guys keeping our retro...

Tonight, three men discuss something calmly with no raised voi... Who am I kidding? It's Halo! We rave, rant and some of us get a little excited about a series of games that helped define a console, a generation and a genre of video game. Halo, you either love it or loathe it. We LOVE it! Talking about the past, present and very near future where ALL the Halo games finally come to modern PC gaming...

The three amigos over at The Hitching Post have a chat about our PC and Home Computer gaming memories, the LAN parties, clubs and hardware that defined ourselves and generations of gamers out there today. We get some live input from the Twitch chat and you guys listening right now can Tweet us here: @THP_Podcast with any questions you have too! The best games. Live games as a service. The best har...

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, other times it send ya PokePuffs! Today we ask Kiefer some questions and get random input from the live Twitch chat. We also learn that old usernames are always bad! Enjoy the chat. *Bad audio issues on this at times. I do apologise, the issue is now fixed for future shows*

The Hitching Post Podcast has gone three-some! Hitch, Dan and Kiefer (Kola) talk about all the things! Saturn love, mobile gaming, pop culture VR and Waffles on burgers! Come meet the new guy who is now a permanent placeholder in Hitch's Gallery of Lurve.

What is the future of Retrogaming? FPGA? Emulation? Google Stadia!? Hitch, Dan and Kola discuss with viewers on Twitch the possible outcomes and future of our favourite pastime. Is FPGA "real" or is it somewhere in-between? Come listen and get back us on  @THP_Podcast (Twitter) or watch us live on https://www.twitch.tv/hi7ch

We are back! Season 3 is here. Join myself, Hitch, and Dan with special guest @hayesmaker64 as we take a trip down Nostalgia Road and chat about our personal memories of the early 80s and onwards and our Micro Computer obsessions. The games, the machines, the love. Consoles even get a small mention :)

Tonight we talk about games in 2018 and upcoming titles in 2019 including all the Commodore 64 games. Of course this is Hitch and Dan so we soon start talking about EVERYTHING else! Movies, Music, Shenmue 3... And of course Hitch's issues with Cyberpunk 2077.

Hitch and Dan come together to discuss the past month. Dan has a new job and is looking into doing Art streams on Twitch! Hitch just had a C64C drop on his lap thanks to Edd from Ireland! Gotham has a good talking to and The Walking Dead gets spanked hard! Come join us.

Cosplaying the Invisible Man whilst talking Horror Games and Movies. WWII showed up and something about bombing Wales whilst Dan simply forgot everything he had ever learnt! Oh and candy, all the Halloween candy two guys can eat (for Hitch anyway).

Fireside time with Hitch and Dan chatting once again about the past month, upcoming games, movies including new ones based around... GAMES! And why you should kill all game companions.

Mini Classics or Android Boxes nobody wants? Like them or loathe them, the Mini Classic Console is here and only getting bigger, at least in popularity! Dan and myself discuss with my Twitch chat the upcoming Playstation Mini and what the future may have for us with other brands. Also, SEGA need to make a Mini Saturn for me!

Fireside chat with Hitch and Dan. Movies, Games, and more plus the inevitable disgust at IT. Also, is STD the greatest Star Trek ever? We didn't even ask!

Digital Vs Analogue in gaming, hardware, software and any other media that works. Is one better than the other? What are the pros and cons of both systems?

Fireside chat with Hitch and Dan as we talk about the past few weeks, what movies we have seen, what games we have played and life in general. Naturally we soon started about Alien and doing rude things to Crystal Skulls because, why wouldn't we!?

The SEGA Saturn. SEGA's greatest console or its biggest failure? We all have opinions but the three of us all adore SEGA's 32bit, 5th generation console. Its arcade ports, RPGs and more. Join us on a narrative for fanbois as we ponder its history and reflect back upon what may be the start of the downfall.

Fireside chat with Hitch and Dan as we talk about the things we have done in April 2018, games played, news that interests us and Dan's phone that listens to everything he says! Or does it? Come sit with us and have a chat.

Cartoons, Movies, TV Shows, Games, Music. All 80s. All amazing. Hitch, Dan and James chat about what they loved in the 80s. Do you agree? Listen and find out!

The story about a playing card company that not only saved a Video Game Industry from the crash of 1983 but went on to inspire millions of kids and grown-ups around the world and possibly gave us the most significant game console ever.

In 1982 gaming on Home Computers truly hit the European homes in the form of the Spectrum and C64, this was followed by gaming giants like the Amiga and morphed in to the PC with the likes of I.D. , Bullfrog, Apogee and many more. Hitch and Dan are joined by AmigaBill to discuss our golden computer gaming memories.
