DrunkFriend: Recent Episodes
SNESdrunk and NESfriend
Have you ever wondered how YouTube sausage gets made? DrunkFriend (not a dating app) aims to learn how different YouTubers in the retro-gaming space deal with the ups and downs of maintaining successful channels. Learn about their inspirations and influences to getting started, their philosophies on creating content, and their processes for video production. There will be plenty of fun stories along the way! Hosts Alex (SNESdrunk) and Trav (NESfriend) come together, along with the occasional featured guest, to answer listener questions, share the YouTubiest of YouTube comments, and find out how everyone else deals with this hobby.

Trav is nowhere to be found, so Alex forms a Polymedia supergroup with Josh and Steve from IndieQuest to interview Sean Velasco from Yacht Club Games about Mina the Hollower! They chat about the game’s inspirations, all the nitty gritty that those who've played it will love to listen to, and a few special secrets that very few people have found. The fellas ask him about everything that went into creating the little mouse who digs around in the dirt.
Check out IndieQuest, a fellow member of the Polymedia Network, wherever you listen to podcasts.
Mina the Hollower is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Alex is busy so Kevin (Blue Peg, Pink Peg and Uncle Doug's DVD Bin) fills in. Trav puts Kev to the test and quizzes him on all the movies they've covered on this season of Uncle Doug. Is Kevin actually a movie genius? Or is he a bonafied dummy and Trav needs to find a new co-host? There are lots of SPOILERS for MOVIES. So watch out.
These are the movies:
- Days of Thunder
- Little Miss Sunshine
- The French Connection
- Time Cop
- Young Guns
- The Warriors
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Red Dawn
- Gladiator

Noah is the "front-man" for Bit Brigade, an 8-bit jam band that rocks out while Noah does a relaxed-fit speedrun of a classic NES game. It's a spectacle to behold! He creates some video game inspired art too and Trav incidentally realizes he may be a stalker. Alex and Trav try to label what their YouTube videos actually are, think about the games they want for their collections regardless of price, and make fun of Robert from the Classic Gaming Podcast.

Trav and Alex welcome YouTube creator and personality SomeCallMeJohnny, where you'll learn that some also call him an illustrator, an animator, and a guy with tons of ideas. We talk about early influences, how his channel has grown since 2008 (!!) and what it's like to have an audience for that long. We discuss whether his art degree (and subsequent student debt) was worth it, what a Metroid film would be like, and a Dutch oven is referenced a few times. (The two are sadly unrelated.) We also delve into the world of coffee, but nothing snobby whatsoever. I mean it's friggin Keurig cups and Folgers and Maxwell House and stuff. You'll enjoy this one!

Merry Christmas! Our guest this week is Dan Hess, otherwise known as the composer of the Pilotwings 64 soundtrack! He talks about the development of said game and a few other titles he was involved with, as well as his personal favorite video game soundtrack (not really what you'd expect!), what it was like to deal with Nintendo, and why he eventually bowed out of the video game industry. Lots and LOTS of great insight here provided by Dan, who's a great talker and easily one of the best guests we've ever had. Dan even has his keyboard on hand to help demonstrate how he came up with some tracks. Trav and Alex also answer some email questions about what video game character would make a good president, the Hebrew Bible, and Alex rambles about Chrono Trigger for nearly 10 minutes. But really, this episode is all about Dan Hess. Listen and enjoy!

Join Trav and Alex as they hang out with Jenovi, a retro gaming YouTuber who is known for his astute research on 90's systems like the Sega 32X , the 3DO, and the Jaguar. Obscure baseball trivia is tossed around, Alex is no fan of remakes, Travis pretends to know how video game controllers, and Jenovi is in the middle of uprooting his family. He doesn't even get upset when Alex and Trav beg him to show off his auctioneering skills. If you like video games, Earnest Evans gets a mention. There's a little something for everyone!

Folks just don't come as likeable and easy-going as the esteemed John Riggs! We hang out and chat a lot about his experiences at conventions (both as a panelist and as a fan), and what his YouTube tenure has been like so far in the near-6 years of his channel. We also talk about current gen consoles potentially losing their backward compatibility, LEGOs, the best NES games no one talks about (not to be confused with a term that rhymes with "gidden hems"), and a lot more! John is a great hang, join us, won't you?

In this episode, Trav and Alex get the pleasure of interviewing a different kind or runner. Tara recently completed all 24 races at the festival of 5k's, the Pemberton 24. That's right. She ran 24 5K races in one day. We ask her about that experience, how running as a hobby began for her, as well as what she eats and how she trains. The show is kicked off with what videos have been produced by the hosts lately and a pair of listener emails about our favorite games played in 2020 and if SNESdrunk will ever add ratings to his reviews.

Trav and Alex decide it's time to anger the listeners by listing off their Top 13 NES games and purposefully leave some off that will get your blood boiling. Do you like Contra? Do you like Mega Man? You better beware. Listener emails ask what Trav does for money and the hosts take turns answering how they would flip a classic game into a different genre altogether. It's a fun time, especially if you like the NES.
