1UP Yours on a Friday night and the 1UP Show on Sunday while eating lunch were a weekly routine for me.

I stumbled upon this old 1up Show DSLite launch coverage. John looks like a baby in this clip!

If you took the fine details out of the image he would look exactly like a Persona character. Hahaha.

Is there a fan-made "Best of the 1UP Show" anywhere? Sounds like it would be fun to watch on a rainy Saturday evening while eating potato chips and crying. Or y'know, whatever floats your boat.

Controlling Cappy isn't for kids, unless maybe they've never played a video game before. Kids want to play as Mario!
Best to only let them use a single joycon - they won't be able to work out how to control the camera so there won't be any conflicts.

Also I feel the need to point out, given the lack of reverence shown for Rare by certain 'cast members, that Banjo-Kazooie did a lot of the things that make Odyssey great almost two decades ago!

I am a Mario guy, but even if I wasn't, thinking Odyssey is better than BotW seems like a perfectly reasonable opinion.

What was Sarah saying when they were talking about the controls in Mario? I thought she was talking about the puppy controller/dog-con but she kept saying 'won-con' or 'one-con' or 'wand-con' or something and I couldn't figure out what she was talking about.

If you guys ever did a video show, this is how I would space out the cast on set.

John = Azusa
Mark = Tokui
Hiroko = You
Sarah = Reina
Graeme/Roy = Kentaro
JJ = Yamachan

Regarding the handheld TGA nomination talk, I agree Ever Oasis is a pretty mediocre game. Culdcept Revolt would have been a better choice it my opinion. And while we're on the subject of TGAs, Sonic Mania at least deserved a nom for best music (even though y'all are just gonna vote for Nier 2 anyway).

Seeing as the Switch doesn't count as a handheld in TGA's view, I'd imagine this will be the last year there'll even be a handheld award.

I really wanna hear about the Trump special edition burger. Ah well 2 more weeks.

If you think it's bad (like me) just listen
If you like it and don't want to be spoiled finish it up. They spoil almost every aspect.

It's weird Switch doesn't count as a handheld in the game awards. Also the monument valley studio is in London so unless they outsourced 2 or something I don't know why it would be in the Chinese game section. Unless that just means popular in China.

Surprised Mark was so down on Mario. I share his feelings though about being completely indifferent towards it

Nice to see a general thread for 8-4 play, it has proven great for other podcasts such as Retronautsas it keeps the community toghether.

BTW the Chip Tanaka album is fire! Thx for reminding me. Also, love it when they talk about someone and inmediately say "friend of the show"... specially knowing that most of the time is true.

I'm a podcast fanatic and haven't dove into 8-4 Play yet, but I know I need to... any good episodes to get started with, or should I just jump into the latest in the feed?

It's basically neogaf/resetera in podast form except they actually know everyone in the industry.

I find their comedy timeless and it's great to just play random episodes to pass the time.

Listen to one and see if you like the style. They do it for fun so no ads*

10/28/2010's episode with Kevin Gifford guesting on a NES retrospective is my all-time favorite. I keep it on my phone and listen to it every few months. So good. Other than that, pick anything up!

To me, the most memorable episode is the E3 preview from whatever year they debuted the Quad City DJs sound bit. They've brought the hype train back in subsequent years, but their commitment to the gag was amazing during that first E3.

Thanks for recommending Chip Tanaka!

Also I listened through that entire Stranger Things spoiler section before I realized I hadn't seen season 2 yet.

Oh damn, didn't know about this thread until today.

8-4 has become one of the best podcasts around imo. Love the Japanese focus and the current regular line-up is great (shoutout to Roy being the best cast member tho).

Hmm seeing Hiroko pic there. I used to joke Hiroko was Boba Fett. Rarely seen, but popular anyway. When was the last time she was on the podcast?

:(

Notable episode shoulda include 8-4 Play Episode 1 the Lost Level.

Regardless of it's current whereabouts and contents.

Edit: Wait a minute... I thought someone said the first episode was lost forever. I can download it right now!
That would be Episode 0. Which yes, hopefully is lost forever. LOL
