Hair Of The Dogcast

In this episode, we finally put the "hair of the dog" in Hair of the Dogcast. A little too much partying the night before has left our mild-mannered podcast heroes Josh and Tom feeling a little worse for wear. Thankfully, getting rid of hangovers is as second-nature to them as running over innocent pedestrians in Grand Theft Auto. What's their secret, you ask? Start drinking more beer of course! This is "Hair of the Dogcast", not "Hair of the I'm-Just-Gonna-Take-a-Napcast". Oh, and we also proclaim our love for the Sega Dreamcast. Although it's time on earth was short, it left a library of great games and a great legacy that still lives on today. There may or may not also be talk about taking psychedelic substances while playing maracas with coked-up, sombrero-wearing monkeys. Buckle up, buckaroos.

Well, whadaya know? Another week, another birthday. This time the Dogcast celebrates that lovable gray little rascal, the Super Nintendo! We crack a couple of delicious adult beverages and sit around the ol' campfire (actually just a couple of microphones on a table) and talk about our top 5 favorite SNES games. There's also a little dab of "Stranger Things" discussion, a smidgen of Street Fighter 5, a pinch of the new Deus Ex: Mankind Divided game, and a sprinkle of leaked PS4 Slim information. And there's birthday cake. Like, a LOT of cake. Seriously. We also took a trip to Urban Harvest Brewing Company in Milwaukee, WI and give our thoughts on this super-new, super-great nanobrewery. Oh, and if you're listening on iTunes, please feel free to leave us a review and rating! It will help get Hair of the Dogcast into the eardrums of more listeners around the globe!

We've made it to lucky number 7, Dogcast boys and gals! Your support has been completely awesome and we couldn't have done it without you!   This week, join Josh and an extremely hungover Tom as they have an impassioned discussion about forgotten video game franchises from days of old that need to come back, like, right NOW. Seriously, someone has to make these happen! We also reminisce about a recent Dogcast field trip to the excellent Port Huron brewery. There's also a generous sprinkling of Fallout 4 talk, pining over the cult-classic movie The Warriors, and some glorious SNK Neo Geo talk. Oh, and find out how much we hate/like mandatory day 1 game patches and why we'll probably never play No Man's Sky. Come and get it!

Summer gamin', had us a blast. Summer gamin', happened so fast. Go ahead and pile on that sun tan lotion and join Josh and Tom as they kick back with a couple cold ones and jib-jab about gaming in the sweaty midst of summertime. We also talk about the recently announced NES Classic--a $60 mini-console being released this holiday by the Big N. Are we excited about it? You'll sure find out! Oh, and how about some juicy Nintendo NX rumors? Yes, have some!  We've also been doing some good ol' fashioned reading and we talk about the most-excellent book "Console Wars"--all about the epic fight between the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo back in the early 90's.   Email your questions and comments at hairofthedogcast@gmail.com Twitter us at: @HOTDogcast.   Beer consumed this episode: Dancing Man Hefeweizen - New Glarus Brewery www.newglarusbrewing.com Shiner Cheer (Holiday Dunkelweizen) - Shiner Brewery www.shiner.com Dorothy's New World Lager - Toppling Goliath Brewery www.tgbrews.com Nitro Vanilla Porter - Breckenr

Happy Birthday to our ol' pal the Nintendo 64! Can you believe it's been 20 years since Nintendo's silicon graphic powered bad-boy was released in Japan? We sure can't. I mean, they grow up so fast, don't they? On this episode, the Dogcast gents crack open some brewskies and reminisce about their times with Nintendo's system and all the awesome (and not-so-awesome) games they grew up with. Oh, and they also talk a little Pokemon Go and wonder if they'll ever drink the Pikachu Kool-Aid and join in on the craze. Now...where's the cake?!

So you're looking for a Ghostbuster review. Who ya gonna call?! The Dogcast boys, that's who! We just saw the new Ghostbusters movie and we immediately sat down (with a beer, of course) and discussed our thoughts and opinions of the new movie. Did we love it? Hate it? "Meh" it? Did Josh's Ghostbuster tattoos tingle with excitement? And just how does it stack up with the original movies? All of these questions (and many, many more) are answered here! If you're worried about spoilers, we got ya covered! We start with an absolutely no-spoiler assessment of the movie and then we move into full-spoiler mode for those of you who ain't afraid of no spoilers/ghosts. And we'd love to hear your opinions!

Whew! What a week! Join your friendly neighborhood Dogs--Josh and Tom--as they run down the highlights and unleash their thoughts regarding the biggest annual event in the world of video games: The Electronic Entertainment Expo (a.k.a E3, a.k.a "Video Game Christmas"). We talk Microsoft! We talk Sony! We kinda sorta talk Nintendo? Oh, and how could we not talk about Steve Balmer trampstamps? For this week's topic of the show, with both Sony and Xbox reportedly coming out with new console upgrades to the PS4 and Xbox One, we discuss whether traditional video game console generations are coming to an end. Is it all doom and gloom? Or would it be a good thing? BUT WAIT!! THERE'S MORE!! Listen NOW and we'll also throw in: Horrible impressions! Even more horrible singing! And Rapping! Well, I THINK we try rapping (which was pretty bad, but surprisingly not AS horrible as the impressions or singing). And it wouldn't be the Dogcast without the beer--and we must say we drank some pretty awesome ones: 1) Pollux Sour W

Cowabunga dudes! For our Turtle-y Awesome third episode, we cut the evil Shredder (and Michael Bay) zero slack with our first-ever movie review! Join us as we discuss Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows on the Big Screen and why Quentin Tarantino may or may not need to take over the franchise. Along with the Turtles movie, we give our thoughts on the new TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan game from Platinum Games. What can we say? We like turtles. We also give our take on that hot little Sony PS4 exclusive nugget: Uncharted 4! We totally finished it. Do we think it's the best one yet? We even keep things pretty much spoiler-free! Topic of the Show: Rage Quitting, Part 1. Grrrr. Most everyone's played a game or two that has caused blood vessels to pop and controllers to fly across the room in a fit of rage. We talk about some of our (and our friend's) most memorable rage quits. We want to hear your best/most crazy rage quitting experience!
