Up until that point I pretty much pu up with Mackey ripping at any system that did not have SNES in its name.

But I do have to give them credit for turning me on to Watch out for fireballs. They do a good mix of classic and PC games. And they actually play them before they do their podcast.
If I could pinpoint a moment where I just said "nope, this isn't for me anymore" is when they did their live sega Genesis special. Mackey went into a diatribe about the console being for "trash people" because he had a neighbor who had one and was beat up by him or something. Condensed all sega's history and brief overtaking of Nintendo to "well, sonic was good" and then complained about the sound chip for the rest of the episode. You compare that to classic episodes like the phantasy star, street fighter 2, pc engine and horror game episode and it's like a whole different show that just happens to have the same name.

Watch out for fireballs is great! Also loving retroblast and back in my play.
