Episode 12 – Game Over Man: Video Games...Then, Today, & Tomorrow

🎮 GAME OVER…MAN. Video Games: Then, Now & Tomorrow | Episode 12 – A Baker’s Dozen Special

From tabletop Pac-Man to rage-quitting Sonic and surviving the PS5 apocalypse, Steve and Kellie hit Start on a wild co-op journey through their gaming lives. This nostalgic (and sometimes deeply ridiculous) episode covers the earliest consoles, legendary screw-ups, midnight releases, and what it means to still be gamers…with matching PlayStations.

If you ever took a Polaroid of your Pitfall high score, waited in line at midnight for your obsession, or destroyed a controller out of sheer button-mashing fury—this one’s got your name on it.
