Welcome to another episode of Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast. This is a show where we, Alan, Brian, and Sam, get together to discuss video games from years gone by. We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere.

This week we are discussing Cool Boarders, a PlayStation game released in 1996 that brought the thrill of snowboarding to the screen with fast-paced downhill races, stylish tricks, and a killer ‘90s soundtrack. Players carve through icy slopes, perform daring stunts, and compete for the best scores in one of the first snowboarding games to define the extreme sports era on consoles.

RetroBytes is the show where Joe and Brian sit down, crack open some random video game topics, and let the conversation run wild. Every episode is part nostalgia trip, part heated debate, and part comedy show we never rehearsed. This week, we’re diving into what we're thankful for in gaming, Joe opens up the comment section and learns a lesson, and is AI a threat to the gaming industry? We’re unpacking the stories, quirks, and memories that make them worth talking about. And of course, no RetroBytes episode would be complete without bringing back THE WHEEL OF DISCUSSION. This long-lost relic is being taken out of storage to bring back some randomness to the conversation.

Welcome to another episode of Retrotopia: Another Video Game Podcast. This is a show where we, Alan, Brian, and Sam, get together to discuss video games from years gone by. We like to look at video games from the perspective of lifelong gamers and how they hold up in the retro sphere.

This week we are discussing BioShock Infinite, a multi-platform game released in 2013 that takes players high above the clouds to the floating city of Columbia. A breathtaking paradise built on patriotism, religion, and denial. You play as Booker DeWitt, a down-on-his-luck private investigator sent to “bring us the girl and wipe away the debt.” But the girl, Elizabeth, is no ordinary captive. She can open tears in reality itself. What starts as a rescue mission soon spirals into a mind-bending journey through parallel worlds, moral contradictions, and the crumbling ideals of American exceptionalism. It’s a first-person shooter that mixes intense gunfights, skyhook traversal, and reality-shifting powers with one of the most ambitious stories in modern gaming.
