OutdateRef 206: Youtube and Whatsits Galore
Adam, Russ, and Nathan jumped online to chat a whole lot about gaming this week. We start comparing our Youtube searches, like Dinosaurs and a mind melting discussion about our weak understanding of the expansion of our Universe. Eventually we dig into faint memories about retro games and our love of old Las Vegas arcades from the late 90s. It’s a weird episode, but I hope you enjoy it.

OutdatedRef 204: Peacemaker, DandaDan, & Tron Ares, Oh My.
This week, Adam, Russ, and Nathan are talking on the hard hitting topics like, “What’s the weather like in your area?” and “Is the monsoon season still active in Arizona?"
Does anyone actually care about our weather? Why would you?
Actually this week we are covering the last two episodes of Peacemaker Season 2.
Did they stick the landing?
Also, we have an Adam Anime update! Did he continue with DanDaDan or was it too weird for this strange American sensibilities? What are his thoughts about that show? Also, the Bias Bros both watched “Tron Ares” and had thoughts. Did they enjoy it or was Disney’s latest entry to the Tron franchise just too much for our brothers?
Find out all of the answers to our question in this week’s episode of Outdated References Podcast!

OutdateRef 203: Peace Out, Bitches
Starting off this episode strong as Adam and Nathan complaining about commercials on Prime as Russ gloats about his superior fiber connection and minimal interrupting commercials. We get to chat on a rare subject as the Cleveland Guardians clinched the Central Division and we will be able to enjoy some post season MLB Baseball and maybe win the whole F&@$ing thing? Oh man, a fan can dream. We also dive into Peacemaker but that’s not what I’m excited about this episode. This week Adam agrees to watch 3-5 episodes of anime that Russ and Nathan can agree on. What did we choose? Listen and find out!

We get to chat about the first episode of Peacemaker, and Russ has some great recommendations, like Alien Earth… Man, I need to check that show out. We go down memory lane about Twisted Metal but eventually we touch on the first episode of Peacemaker and more discussion about Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 3.

For our 200th episode Adam decided to join Russ and Nathan as we get a crash course on the Star Wars TCG and about his experience at the Star Wars Unlimited Galactic Championship 2025 in Las Vegas, then schools up about World of Warcraft gold.
We also get Adam’s take on the Fantastic Four, Gilded Age (Squee,) and of course, this episode takes on Star Trek Strange New Worlds where there's Q Ballz and a monster ship with a stupid face. Yeah, it's weird.

Big Ben Pinball upgrade (cir 2008)
Archival Article from Pineconeattack.back in 2008. It's about upgrading to LEDs on my Williams Big Ben Pinball machine. This table was stolen from me back in 2010 and I just got it back this week. So I'll probably be posting pinball videos in the near future, after a 15 year hiatus due to theft.

OutdateRef 198: Gilded Age & More TV Recommendations
Russ and I catch up with this week's episode of Outdated References. Russ watched the new Superman film and does his best to not spoil it for me because I am is waiting to watch it with my brother, Adam , when he comes into town later in the month of July. There's no main show topic this week as we are waiting for "Star Trek Strange New Worlds" and Marvel's "Fantastic Four: The First Step" to drop later this month but we have a slew of shows to recommend, old and new. Mainly, go watch Gilded Age. We absolutely love this show.

Outdated References 194: An Avalanche of Good to Talk About
SUPER LOADED show for this week. We had to skip the usual
pleasantries and just jump right into “The Last of Us” Episode 3 & 4,
“Andor” Episode 4-9, and for May the 4th, all of the episodes of “Star Wars
Tales of the Underworld.” After trying to cover all of those shows we talk
about our opinions with “Marvel’s Thunderbolts*” aka “The New Avengers” &
Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners.” Whew. That's too many fantastic television and
films.
