OutdateRef 213: More StarFleet Academy Talk

This week we are a two man show with Russ and Nathan as we chat about TV, Gaming, Pinball and arcades in bars and why we appreciate where we live. As we are dealing with Marvel burnout, we enjoyed Wonderman and where in the hell is Shang-chi 2??? 

Eventually we get onto discussing the penultimate episode of Star Trek Starfleet Academy as we brainstorm what we think is going on and we are curious to see how many of our theories will come to fruition. 

This week, I will be dropping the last two late episodes from March and get back on schedule about dealing with family trauma over the last couple of months.

Outdated Ref 207: Titans & Hatch Peppers Galore.

Adam, Russ, and Nathan catch up as we move into Thanksgiving week. Adam is in Albuquerque, New Mexico as he navigates the locals obsession with hatch chili on everything. Russ and Nathan go on a tangent about Attack on Titan, as Nathan is slowly watching that show at his leisure.

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Find out all of the answers to our question in this week’s episode of Outdated References Podcast!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!

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. 



My current obsession, beside Metal Gear Solid 4, has been pinball. I’ve been yearning to purchase another table and to head back to the Pinball Hall of Fame and play some of the best pinball machines that, for the foreseeable future, I will never be able to afford. BUT I do have my trusty old Big Ben, the only problem is that I’m getting tired of the flickering lights and other minor annoyances like burn out light bulbs, so in an effort to spruce up my pinball table, I decided to go the LED route and colorize my table.

OutdateRef 199: Supes & The Fantastic Four

Russ and Nathan catch up with our feelings with James Gun's Superman and Marvels' take on the Fantastic Four.  Nathan picks up some comic books and we just talk about the general annoyance with comic book collecting in general. But then we get to talk about the the new season of Star Trek Strange New World. Man I still love that show!

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 195: Andor Finale & Last of US


This week Russ and I chat a lot about a little bit of everything as I slowly loose my voice during the duration of recording this episode. (Sorry.)
