Yes! Always a good day when there’s a new CU podcast.

[@KartKing4ever]

I waited for like 2 weeks for you guys to DROP this episode and now I gotta save it for work next week to keep me sane while I wither away in the office.

[@FreddyKruegerRealEstate]

Better than withering away in the unemployment line, am I right (speaking from experience right now sadly)? 👍

[@KartKing4ever]

@@FreddyKruegerRealEstate Very true, but it will get better and you will end up so much further ahead than you ever imagined. Keep on fighting the good fight and don't let anyone break your stride.

[@pictonomii3295]

Ian forgot to mention Yakuza when talking about Sega stuff.

[@pxlsicle]

absolutely insane of me. Yakuza 0 is one of my all time favorite games

[@avideogamemaster]

Only Yakuza? At one point Total War and Football Manager were selling more than any other game. They also just acquired Angry Birds.

[@ZombieJesus1987]

Yeah, they had their Nostalgia goggles on, they only see Sega for what they were putting out in the 90s They don't understand how big of a powerhouse Modern Sega is as a publisher.

[@Mulerider4Life]

YES. THANK YOU for 2:01. I have missed that sound clip.

[@chadbyron1886]

That Christmas special was great definitely worth the effort!

That Atari handheld is the car that Homer Simpson designed.

you guys still got it.

[@Jord9622]

So cool that Pat mentioned the J-Turn in Driver. It was made famous by James Garner on The Rockford Files. That’s why the J-Turn is also called “The Rockford”. One of the best shows ever!

Iain Lee is a British broadcaster and retro gaming legend, been around years. Helped break Ali G. Met him, nice bloke. Look in one of your retro gamer magazines towards the front, he had a column for years.

i'm sorry what? The Atari handheld is going to have Intellivision games? How is that going to work? Is it a direct competator to the Amiico? How did they ever get the rights for that?

Terrible how the Lost Boys 2 after credits scene had Corey Haims show up as a Vampire for the 3rd movie and he died shortly after... Return of the Saxophone guy was a funny cameo in the second

Anyone who's into Pacman gear, and not aware, Casio are currently selling watches, a lot more affordable than the Atari one mentioned here. Yellow cab themed one based on their calculator watch, and few others which have some decent Pacman detailing

[@BarryRerack147]

22:49 Iain Lee is a big TV and Radio personality in the UK. He did a show years ago where he tracked down the elusive, legendary Manic Miner developer Matthew Smith

[@SchizoMelody]

Holiday gift guide was pretty funny

[@MikeMeeple]

Star Raiders for the 2600 uses the number pad. I owned that game…

[@VoltronPimp]

wow Pat! i can't believe you aren't up to speed on the Mister! in short, i have three Misters and i sold all of my NES and SNES collection. it is that good! there is nothing about the super station that Sony can sue for. when you buy one, it can't do anything out of the box, you have to make an sd card and setup the Mister software. it almost sounds like you want these guys to get shut down. one of my 3 Misters is Taki Udon's MisterPi and it works perfectly. join the FPGA club and ditch your collection and cash in on your physical media!

[@FreddyKruegerRealEstate]

I was a mister early adopter in late 2018/19 (was interested before that in the MIST). It's been _very interesting_ watching the platform evolved, the cores appear and develope - and people who swore they would never buy one because it was _real hardware_ or nothing for them (making fun of the price too): now evangelizing for it almost a decade later, and owning multiple FPGAs. The amount of people who think Mister is a newer platform is funny too me as well.

[@marccaselle8108]

Mister is far too expensive for what it is. 300 for the base plus what 200 or 300 for all the extra add ons. That's for rich people.

[@terrylaze6247]

The shell design and the controller/memcard ports are probably under copyright so they could go after taki for that, but for the software side you are right, although it says it does already come with the sd card preinstalled, but without any copyrighted material on it, those have to be downloaded separately.

[@FreddyKruegerRealEstate]

*@Marccel* It was $500 when Mister first was in early adoption. Super expensive. I think I spent around $700 for the various IO boards, snac, adapters etc. these days it's so much more inexpensive - even though $300 (and $200 for MisterPi) is pricy. FPGA should continue will become cheaper in the next few years. I am DEFINITELY NOT rich. I sold ALOT of my real retro hardware and games during the bubble and bought a Mister, paid a bunch of my debts and later got nice new PC (instead of PS5) for my modern gaming.

[@mumfnah]

Iain Lee used to be on the telly here, Thumb Bandits and 11 O'clock Show main ones for me but i know he does fair bit of radio too. Those interviews he has with the non scammer guy are interesting viewing. I really hope Sega offer something different with the potential subscription service, like their arcade greats, Outrun 2, Golden Axe arcade, just dump all of them on their to play for a montly fee... Even the Mahjong online game for Ian to enjoy 👍

[@ThoughtyTheWrangler]

The subscription service explains why they’ve removed the Genesis Classics from Steam 🤔

[@maximum.collecting]

1:55 I have to know. I’ve been saying “it’s been a while” like that because I hear it so much on this podcast. Is that a reference to something???

[@platoh]

I think it's a reference to the Staind song "It's Been A While".

[@maximum.collecting]

@ thank you! 😂

[@axlefoley6330]

Maybe a new SEGA console??? Probably not but it’d be cool to see it.

[@FreddyKruegerRealEstate]

_Definitely_ No new console. Consoles are dying, and everyone is going multiplatform or service based. Sega is more likely to launch their own digital platform (maybe with a sub?) or a launcher.

[@Deshayzilla]

The SuperStation One likely won’t include any ROMs or BIOS files. While it may come with the MiSTer’s main OS and all available cores, you’ll probably need to source the necessary BIOS files yourself-just like with all MiSTer systems, including the one previously sold by RetroRemake. Additionally, there hasn’t been much clarification on how the CD drive will function with the current PSX core. The system itself looks great, and it’s exciting to see a MiSTer setup designed to resemble a traditional console. However, I remain a bit skeptical about how well the CD implementation will work.

[@BocaRetroGames]

Wow you guys are old ! Me too by the way

[@darrentg6]

Sega has atleast 5x the brand & IP draw that Atari has, but yeah, still not enough for their own subscription service. Hope they realize it & don't end up doing it.

[@troysleeth3709]

KZbin algorithm is trying to get me to watch new Larry Bundy videos. Definitely not doing that but wondering if the envelope is making a return to the podcast.

[@ZombieJesus1987]

I disagree with Pat on the whole "Take sonic out and they are just Atari" argument. Sega has the Persona series, and more importantly the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series. I think you're underestimating how huge those series are

[@BrandonArnold0]

26:30 I disagree with Ian on this one. The SuperStation is taking a page out of the Analogue playbook by making a system that plays PlayStation disks and accepts a PlayStation controller by default, with HDMI, and “just works.” This is just like the Mega Sg, Super Nt, and Nt Mini, but for PS1. They distinguish themselves from Analogue in the marketing material by saying you don’t have to jailbreak the system to play cores for other systems, which you need to do for Analogue devices. Taki’s MiSTer Pi product on the same site is directly meant to be a cheaper MiSTer, but the SuperStation is going to smooth over and hide away some of the aspects of MiSTer that less computer savvy gamers people will shy away from. Many people who buy Analogue products say this is why they prefer them. This may be more successful than an Analogue console in scale, because the cost is down. It appeals to me less, though, for not being a premium console. Far from it.

[@bf_brix]

Wait, are Ian and the CU Podcast back?? Or are these just reruns?

[@BazallWorks]

they never stopped, just stopped having a consisted schedule

[@FreddyKruegerRealEstate]

The CU podcast DID indeed end in the formal sense. But after a extended period, Ian settled into his job and it came back as a semi bi-monthly type thing when there are things to talk about. They then release it in segments on YT spaced out.

[@cybersub4693]

UPDATE ( UNSOLVED MYSTERIES VOICE)

[@djconvoy]

Really disagree with Ian, here. They sold this as a PlayStation

[@dutchbeef8920]

You’ll have to play it arcade style for the track ball, put it on the table in front of you

[@Aragorn7884]

Yeah, but...can the PDF run *Crysis?* 😏

The game where you die and age when resurrected is Sifu

[@CharlieWyvill]

Weirdly enough, Iain Lee was one of the biggest celebrities is the UK a few years ago after being on “I’m a celebrity, get me out of here”. He’s been on tv and radio for years but did not really cash in on his fame. He used to present the show that launched Ricky Gervais and sacha baron cohen’s career’s

[@lsdowdle]

The SuperStation one is still taking pre-orders... currently at $179.99. I got in on the Founder pricing. It won't ship until Q4 or earlier... maybe Q3... but a while away. The dock will NOT be able to directly play cd media.

[@chrisslater1985]

Wow u guys know nothing about watches!! A mechanical watch is obviously more expensive than a digital

[@Sammy-be5dc]

Cant wait for the switch 2

3rd? lol

[@SergioPadilla-g2n]

I like your show but I absolutely cannot stand Pat's constant Sega bashing and Nintendo dickriding. Saying all they got is Sonic. Thats it for me. Bitter cause Sega kicked their ass for 3 years and ended their monopoly. Unsubscribed. Ian should go solo. Peace out.

[@urogoth]

I'm fine with getting rid of January so I never age again

[@LazarusLong314]

I hate the 5 minute count down before it starts.

[@undergroundironentertainment]

As far a Sega goes, it's all on retroarch, pass... next

[@jwbartle]

Thought there was going to be something about the "Real Game Awards" and the Switch2 reveal? Guessing they weren't in the intro, but in the rest of the show.

[@seruresto1386]

Correct. Where they rightly rag on the thing but don't mention their friends Rolfe and Silverman being involved with it.

[@jwbartle]

@@seruresto1386 Rolfe I'm not surprised. He's infamous doesn't really spend any time online, his only connection to this thing is knowing the organiser IRL. So I could see him being asked to film a video for "some little game awards show I'm doing" and not knowing the full context. Silverman, I don't know enough about him but I'd be surprised if he didn't know more about the situation.

[@seruresto1386]

​@@jwbartle Thing James has repeatedly been involved with scammy things or people over the years. At some point the "he's just a clueless, not online guy in a bubble" defense starts to be more than a little hollow. How come he never "accidentally' finds himself involved with something good natured and positive? Why is it always things like the Cheetahmen scam, or now grifter Craig, or doing KZbin vids with pieces of crap like JonTron? And it's honestly gutless and dishonest for Pat and Ian to just brush over. Big tough talk from these two about Craig or Tommy or Smash JT. Not a peep about Rolfe. It's BS.

[@jwbartle]

@@seruresto1386 This is where I may be out of the loop on some stuff and I hope you can clear some stuff up for me. I know of the controversy around JonTron due to the debate he had with Destiny, but I only know of a few videos JonTron was in with James (the ones on the Cinemassacre channel), and they all predate when Jon's ignorant political views were exposed. So I'm not seeing the issue there, unless stuff happened after that which I'm not aware of? But also I know JonTron made a video post-debate admitting he was ignorant and ill-informed, etc, so even if they collab'ed post-debate, I don't see that as a big deal. As for the Cheetahmen 2 thing, I hadn't heard about that so I had to do some research (which I'll admit could be incomplete). So what happened was.. someone did a Kickstarter to make Cheetahmen 2 repro carts, and they roped in a multiple youtubers to contribute to a video that was used for the Kickstarter, James included (I think Pat was in it as well?). From there, I get conflicting information. Some say the Kickstarter was successful, others say it wasn't, some say some didn't get their copies, some say that issue was sorted out.. Apparently there were complaints about it being a "scam" because of how expensive it was, but it was solely a collector's thing so being expensive doesn't surprise me. But James wasn't gaining anything from the Kickstarter as far as I can tell, it was an independent third party and he helped out because he thought it was neat. If I missed anything regarding the two things you brought up, please by all means, educate me. Because I'm struggling to see the issues here.
