The Venn diagram between fans of this dusty old podcast & people who have already discovered this beautiful new one is so much of a perfect circle that this tweet might be redundant, but just in case: friend of the show @SimonParkin’s new podcast is a joy. https://t.co/ycPVqdbdWm

I spoke to Erik Wolpaw, the writer of Portal, about his lawyer father’s arrest, founding the website Old Man Murray with @chetfaliszek, the success of Steam and its impact on Valve’s creative work, and the looming possibility of a Portal 3: https://t.co/0XiCAktFvd

Some podcasts get TV or Movie spinoffs, others are destined to form the basis of academic essays relating to the Fantasmatic Structure of Videogame Memory.

Genuinely thrilled about this, big thanks to @bcnicoll for his interest and hard work. https://t.co/pVTqCdoFGi

@HomebrewHomunc Hi! That is a good shout, thanks! I can definitely do it on the web, so hopefully that’ll feed through to the podcast feed. Might take a while, but it was weekly and ended in April 2018 if you’re looking for a quick and dirty reference for something.

Also hi, hope everyone is well despite 'gestures at everything'

In Checkpoints episode #116 I chatted with @Gassalasca about gaming in Serbia in the 90s and he described Sega Clubs - makeshift arcades set up in spare rooms. He's now unearthed this amazing footage from the time: https://t.co/BFZKLvzJvY

@asteris @scriptlockcast Thanks so much! Especially since I’ve not made a new ep in so long. I’d recommend Strong songs, Evil Genius, The Blindboy Podcast. Stay well!

@robertashley Hey congrats and good luck with the new baby!

[Checkpoints @CheckpointsShow]

@Namdor_07 Thanks man! I loved making it. An ending is just a nice bow on things, plus it leaves room for something new, so you never know.

[Checkpoints @CheckpointsShow]

@Namdor_07 Just added the download link for both. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks for listening!

[Checkpoints @CheckpointsShow]

@Namdor_07 Also, purely for my own curiosity, any particular reason for those eps beyond just being a fan?

[Checkpoints @CheckpointsShow]

@Namdor_07 Hey man! Yeah, iTunes only keeps the latest 100 available, hence the repeat run. You can get all the episodes on the website - https://t.co/hZ3tmsTvdh - just go back through the pages. There should be a download link for them all, but let me know if not and I’ll sort it.
