Join Cameron, Nuno, and Brian for another meandering chat about video games. First, Nuno regales a detailed account of his experiences with the Saroo flash cart for the Sega Saturn. At around the ~35 minute mark, Camron also shares his thoughts on various games he's been playing and what makes games/consoles a good "value" or not. Eventually, the conversation devolves into a rant session about the PS5 Pro, AAA stagnancy, and various challenges plaguing the games industry, and even some glimmers of hope, perhaps?

The Saturn Junkyard is 15 years old, apparently. Holy crap! Where did the time go?
Today we invite you to join Simon, Jon Lee, Nuno, Sam (SSG), Camron, and Brian for a jaunt down memory lane and through the last decade and a half of the Saturn Junkyard shenanigans. We reminisce about the SJY as it grew from a scrappy spinoff blog of the Dreamcast Junkyard to a still scrappy Facebook community, blog, YouTube channel, and podcast!

Join us for a monumental celebration of SEGA and RGG Studio's Yakuza: Like a Dragon (a.k.a. YakLAD)! In this mega episode, Brian and Camron are joined by special guests KC (host of The SEGA Lounge on Radio SEGA) and Kinsey (YouTuber and Producer at Chuhai Labs) for a lively deep dive into the inaugural adventure of Ichiban Kasuga and friends.
For the first half of this episode, we have a spoiler-free chat about our broader experiences and impressions of LAD as a sequel and entry point, and its merits as both a continuation of and departure from the series' legacy. Later in the episode, things take a turn for the absurd and spoilery as we fawn over Ichiban, reminisce about our hypercapitalist tomfoolery in the business sim mini game, and talk mad shit about certain “supporting” characters.
Whether you already love Yakuza and Like a Dragon or are curious what all the hoopla is about, join us for a fun time, either way!
Games discussed in this episode: Yakuza: Like a Dragon (and not much else)
