Dog Days of Podcasting
The yearly challenge to post an episode a day, Tyr was one of the original participants back in 2012. Since then we’ve posted in 8 different seasons of the show. All previous seasons have been archived here on the main site.
NaNoWriMo
Tyr’s been a participant of NaNoWriMo for over a decade and a half. Back in 2011, we started posting audio entries about our progress before the Hiddennode became a podcast. Since then we’ve been intermittent with using the podcast format for posting new entries.

The Nintendo 64, the first time I experienced three dimensional gaming in the console world. While 3D gaming had been around for some time, playing the polished gems of Nintendo and related titles made for great gaming experiences with my friends and family.
Playing Oddjob on Goldeneye is still bullshit.
Some Goldeneye 64 multiplayer (I haven’t watched it, so maybe language?)

The era of Full Motion Video games and the cradle of first person shooters dominated much of my non-console experiences in the mid-90’s. These games were part of the building structure of my gaming world but many of these games wouldn’t make it into my rolodex of perfect games, but they would serve as good experiences to anyone looking to understanding the gaming choices made in years to come.
Some Eye Of The Beholder love:
Followed up by some Quake action. 52 minutes speed run of the entire game. Even I don’t have enough gamer drive to try and master this.

Role-Playing Games are the glue that ties my connections to people and virtual worlds. They’ve been a guiding light during my online experiences, and there’s a pretty clear point by point path from my introduction to the dice based hobby in the summer of ’92 to the finding myself sitting at my desk and writing this post. This one gets a little heavy at times so be prepared.
Check it out! The Dragonstrike VHS! Sweet.

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System was and is the go to system for fun and perfection in the gaming universe. These claims are colored entirely by nostalgia, a statement I will easily admit. The games were my baseboard for story, adventure, and fun. Having recently read the book Console Wars recently, my view on that world has shifted a bit but I still find that time probably my favorite time in gaming.
It’s a great read and I highly recommend it. I’m super biased as it covers a very dear time to me in my life, but the impact of corporate politics and how they drive the world of entertainment is a great reason to check it out.
