The Sega Addicts Podcast

This is it, folks. The title says it all. Sega Addicts is closing its doors, and Brett, Stevie, and Scotty are here to discuss everything from beginning to end. The full details are in this episode and on the full post on the site itself. We cannot thank you all enough for everything that you have done from listening and reading, to chatting and viewing. We will keep our Discord chat alive, so join that by clicking here or also below if wanna continue to hang out with us and shoot the breeze. Our Twitter and Twitch pages will remain alive to retweet and auto-host active former Addicts, while the site will remain live for archival purposes along with the YouTube page to archive the 24-Hour Dreamless Dreamcast Marathon (which I, Scotty, will host until the day I die). Oh hey, here's that book we could not remember we somehow ended up on the back of. And the preview here. Thank you so much from the bottom of our goofy oily hearts for everything that you have done. We love you guys, and we are excited to see what the future holds.

We asked and you answered, or maybe you asked and we answered? It's a big ol' mailbag episode! Brett, Nic, and Scotty start out by discussing their personal Game of the Year recommendations and then dive right in to that Scrooge McDuck vault of letters and postcards you sent on the interwebz. We go through everything from why Sega should hire us, which consoles we are still hunting for, how we would introduce anyone to Sega, and a whole lot more! This is the last podcast of the year, but keep an eye on our Twitter and Discord for a few more streams to close out 2017. It has really been an amazing year with our most successful 24-Hour Dreamless Dreamcast Marathon to so many great streams with all of you involved! Thanks for everything! You guys are beautiful and we love you!

Sonic Forces released. Did you know that? Yeah we sorta forgot for a second as well, but then we realized we should talk about it! Woo! Remember Sonic Mania? Crap, well try to forget it. Remember Sonic Generations? Well, try to forget that game too, because we need to talk about Sonic Forces! Nic, Brett, and Scotty also wanna tell you about some moments in games that made them think way more about that game than they may have in the past. Believe it or not, sometimes video games actually involve emotions. And you guys had some words on the topic as well! Speaking of words, and you, the next episode (and final one for 2017!) will be a special mailbag episode! That means you need to get those crazy, deep, ridiculous, hilarious, obnoxious, and any other questions into us through our Discord and Twitter before December 12th. We have a good bit collected, but still need plenty more! Wanna know our favorite Sonic character? Favorite food? Best college story? Dumbest thing we ever dreamed about? Our first video game crush? Well you better ask us! Otherwise how will you find out?!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled podcast... schedule... to bring you a movie commentary! Fire up those VCRs and find your copy of the 1995 gem Mortal Kombat, because TJ, Nic, Brett, and Scotty are here to help you endure some "fine" cinema. That's right, you get to watch a movie with the Addicts! And boy howdy, are you in for a treat. The director of Mortal Kombat, Paul W. S. Anderson, has gone on to create such quality video game movie adaptations as the Resident Evil series, and DOA: Dead or Live. Other Anderson greats include Death Race 2, Death Race 3: Inferno, and Alien Vs. Predator. Help us. We will return to our regular ear candy with Podcast Episode 123, and don't forget to keep submitting your questions for our mail bag episode 125. For the moment though, "We got movie sign!"

This week the Addicts discuss a cult classic from the beloved Dreamcast: Illbleed. You may wanna bring a spare pair of pants for this one according to a certain incredible commercial. The gang try to figure out what it is about the quirky game that keeps them coming back for more whether it's the Halloween season or not. And speaking of quirky, Elle, Brett, and Scotty discuss the Questionarium centered around video games releasing incomplete. Is it fair to us as consumers? A few listeners also weigh in on this anomaly that has become commonplace with today's video games. Don't forget to tune in on Saturday November 4th for our second Marathon of the year to raise money for Extra Life! Elle and her sister will be playing the entirety of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and only insanity can ensue!

This week the Addicts get back to the routine and bring in the spooky Sega Genesis classic (?) Haunting Starring Polterguy. We aren't really sure if anyone was looking for this game while trick-or-treating. But hey, it sure is unique... Joining Elle, Brett, Nic, and Scotty this week is their good buddy Anthony. You may remember him from such great hits as The 24-Hour Dreamless Dreamcast Marathon of 2017, where he became the self-proclaimed Champion of Pen Pen Tricelon. The Addicts also discuss whether or not one should be able to bypass gameplay to fully enjoy the story/cutscenes in video games. And you beautiful people lend us your opinions on the matter! Play along at home and get ready for the next Game of the Week: Illbleed on the Sega Dreamcast.

The Addicts have all had a bit of time to recover from the annual 24-Hour Dreamless Dreamcast Marathon, and are very excited to recap the insanity. This week Elle, Brett, TJ, Pocky X, Scotty, and honorary Sega Addict MegaMatt gather to giggle about the gaming grander they garnered. For the next two hours, the Addicts recall all 24 hours of the Marathon, which encompassed a total of 37 Dreamcast games and countless smiling faces. Not only did the Addicts play a crazy amount of games, but with your amazing help they raised over $1,000 for the Pittsburgh Children's Hospital through Extra Life - doubling the money raised last year! And a special congratulations to Morgs, who will be receiving a complete Dreamcast console courtesy of Warp Zone with a blue VMU and copies of Flogian Bros, and the best fishing games around: Sega Bass Fishing and Soulcalibur. Again guys, we cannot thank you enough for making this Marathon the best one yet.

On this week's episode of the podcast, everyone's opinion is wrong except for Scotty's since cool people know that Sonic R is the best 3D Sonic game on the Sega Saturn. Sonic R is also worth every penny Scotty paid for it on release day. For some reason, people are willing to pay less than $50 for Sonic R now, and should probably learn the error of their ways before a certain plush anomaly visits them in their sleep. Oh, and the Addicts also discuss the Do's and Don't's of hidden lore in video games in great length, and why no one wants to do anything with Big the Cat... not in a box, not with socks, no matter the the size of his... clocks? No podcast next week folks, because we will be knee deep in preparations for the 24-Hour Dreamless Dreamcast Marathon! See you at Twitch on 9.9.17 (Saturday)!

It was unavoidable, so we did the right thing. This week's Game of the Week is Sonic Mania. Did you expect something else from a Sega fan site? That's just silly. Brett, TJ, Pocky X, and Scotty discuss the good, the bad, and the balls of Sonic Mania this week. The Addicts also discuss most excellent origin stories and answer some amazing questions from you amazing people! Who knew that Sonic Mania would lead into this much Game Gear discussion? Otherwise we here at Sega Addicts and Warp Zone are getting pretty pumped for the 24-Hour Dreamless Dreamcast Marathon! And helping out Extra Life! Woo!
