With episode 100 well within reach, CapnMikeM and MAINEac17 invite Syd Bolton to episode 99. Syd is the proud owner and curator of Canada's largest video game collection as well the Personal PC Museum. After a lengthy Q&A session in the intro, the fellas settle into episode 99. The trio kick around their thoughts on the latest Gears of War remastered rumors and their initial impressions of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. The discussion topic this week is centered around retro games and if any of us still play these games and on which platforms. Many of our listeners chimed in as well.
