What Scott and his fancy art might not know is that I was a Sega Master System kid. The SMS launched in 85, compared to 83 for the NES (both those dates are the Japanese dates) and maybe it should have been more powerful? Maybe it was? Sadly the games were just never as good as the NES’s.

There were a few titles that really shone, like Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon’s Trap (recently remade!) and Phantasy Star and maybe one of the Alex Kidds. But the SMS’s library never even came close to the size or quality of the NES’s library. The 16 bit generation (Genesis and Super Nintendo) only made the disparity worse. People may think that the console wars are hot today (xBONE ONE X lol amirite?) in a way that they were not 30 years ago but they are totally wrong.

“Sega Genesis does what Nintendon’t” and other classics (probably comparing controllers to genitals) were front and center. “John Romero will make you his bitch” actual advertising. Ok, I guess? Anyway, identifying as a Sega kid guaranteed you an appreciation for the underdog, because you could fanboy all you wanted but Sega’s offerings were undoubtedly inferior.

Did all of this set young Jon on a path? I can recall at 12 in the schoolyard moodily exclaiming “the Sega ads are better, but the games are worse” breathlessly trying to explain to the other children. The TV is lying to us. Were their worlds as devastated as mine was? I was an innocent child.

The SMS make me cynical.

Podcast image tbd. I guess I come off pretty negative about Westworld on the podcast, would have liked to go into more details. The show was pretty good overall, I still enjoyed my time with it. I’m just very disappointed by how it only sort of came together at the end. Maybe my guard is up because of how badly Lost let me down, I’m like on edge waiting for them to completely mess it up. I stand by my assertion about the main characters being all unlikable or untrustable. The only characters that we don’t have suspicions about either die or are minor players. At the end I struggle to care about the people. That shouldn’t happen.

Anyway, it’s clearly top level TV. The production values are insane. The special effects are out of this world. The story is engrossing. They just need a heart.

9to5 Entertainment System 72: Groot Speaks to Me

by keith on October 30, 2014 at 10:21 am

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

Alright, a few bits of business for the people that actually read the blurb. First, we recorded this on Tuesday and since then even more women (8 that I last saw) have come forward against Jian Ghomeshi. Hopefully this gets taken care of because right now to me this seems criminal and not really a case of a jilted ex-girlfriend. Second, Sophie is still too busy to record podcasts since she is currently involved in a million projects (although she did crank out this amazing Halloween pinup of the crew as Ghostbusters ghosts). Finally, due to the anomally of having 5 Thursdays in the month of October I had to turn the bit rate way down on this episode in order to make it fit within our alloted podcasting bandwidth, you might notice a little lack of overall quality (and yet, because of the new mics it still sounds better than some of our previous episodes). So, with all that out of the way, enjoy the show chums.

Coming soon to XBOX, PS4 and PC is the next big indie game Dick Fart Punch-Punch! Sadly that doesn’t exist (yet). For this episode, I chose as an image of Jon’s forehead. Please direct angry letters directly to Jon.
