Join us for a monumental celebration of SEGA and RGG Studio's Yakuza: Like a Dragon (a.k.a. YakLAD)!

For the first half of this episode, we have a spoiler-free chat about our broader experiences and impressions of LAD as a sequel and entry point, and its merits as both a continuation of and departure from the series' legacy. Later in the episode, things take a turn for the absurd and spoilery as we fawn over Ichiban, reminisce about our hypercapitalist tomfoolery in the business sim mini game, and talk mad shit about certain “supporting” characters.
Whether you already love Yakuza and Like a Dragon or are curious what all the hoopla is about, join us for a fun time, either way!

It's been a year since we started the SJY Facebook community and this podcast. We figured we'd take this opportunity to reflect on the Junkyard community, its culture, and everything that makes it special.
Consider this our thanks to all of the members and admins who have helped make the Saturn Junkyard/Saturn Graveyard/Saturn (car) Junkyard/Nintendo 64 Junkyard an immensely fun place to hang out over the last year. Cheers!

Join us as we chat Resident Evil, Deep Fear, D, Alien Trilogy, Casper, and more!
In this episode, the Titancrew discusses piracy and the importance of striking the balance between protecting creative intellectual property and the need to preserve gaming's history, particularly in light of the recent shutdown of various ROM sites around the web. We tackle various questions including: - How long should IP rights last for video games? - Who/What is the Robin Hood of video games? - Is Nintendo the Disney of video games? What does that make Sega? - Is retro game piracy bad? - But is it really that bad?
In this episode, we step back from the nostalgia and chat about the surprisingly rich slate of recent and upcoming titles from our favorite game maker in 2018! Simon is out, unfortunately, but Sam, Nuno, and Brian are joined by Mike Phelan from the Dreamcast Junkyard's DreamPod and Patrick Traynor from the Sega Saturn Shiro podcast.

Join in on one insane ride, as the TitanCast Crew is joined by a new visitor and "TRIES" to discuss RPG's on our beloved Saturn. Will things go off without a hitch? HA... no.
Join in for a speeding discussion on one of SEGA's all time classics, Sega Rally! In honor of our brother Nuno's, in depth video of the history and alterations the classic would receive, we felt it quite fitting to dedicate an entire hour to it. So slap in that 5-point harness, rev up, and let's make it to the next checkpoint or it's GAME OVER... YEAH!!
No topics, just news, and the ramblings that they lead to. Take a listen to the raw thoughts of the TitanCast crew as it pertains to Shenmue HD, the gaming community, and retro gaming as a hole. You never know how deep the rabbit hole goes until you take the leap.
The TitanCast crew take a trip back down memory lane and discuss the bridge between the Saturn and Dreamcast. They discuss series that span both consoles, as well as games that should have been Dreamcast launch games but were launched at the tail end of the Saturn's life cycle. PLUS, they discuss the greatest game of all time, and its Saturn roots.
Bullets everywhere, a screen full of sprites, credits running low. That's right it's time for some shoot em ups! Join the TitanCast crew as they discuss their top two shmups for the Sega Saturn, the intricacies of these titles, and some of the nuances of shmup game-play and design. Don't forget to give us a sub and rating if you enjoyed this episode, and check out our past episodes if you're new to the cast.
