Podcasting with Nintendo Power

[Leathco]

So I hadn't done a Podcast on my site for a while, and figured I would have some fun with it. I ended up doing a "Let's Read" on an issue of Nintendo Power. Just a podcast of my random thoughts as I flipped through an issue of Nintendo Power, and the YouTube video has me following along in the mag. Gave a shout out to RetroMags in it too. If anyone wants to watch it's here

Also, I don't run ads or anything on the video, or most that I do. Not looking for ad revenue, just thought it was a neat idea to do a lets read instead of lets play.

Awesome idea! Wish more people shed light on the wealth of information in these old magazines

Nice podcast. Might be best to do them sequentially, rather than at random. The outlook of the times was interesting... that's what I find the most compelling about these old mags (aside from PCXL of course which is just a timeless laugh riot). I'd be more interested in reflections about how you and others felt about living in the 80s/90s, the sense of purpose and excitement that came from experiencing the games and the hype itself.

I did find it interesting that Nintendo basically put a large piece of the emulation puzzle in the pocket of pirates by explaining their memory mapper tech in exhaustive detail. No other magazine did that that I recall... in fact, EGM regularly got the details just plain wrong. I think Nintendo, and NP, came to regret that decision, though it must have seemed like a good idea at the time with Sega's flat memory model chips getting a lot of press.
