Episode 500: Celebration Time!

After 11 years, VGRT Gaming Podcast, nee “Technical Diversions (TD) Gaming Podcast”, has hit the magic 500th episode, with not only former co-host Paul Nowak joining in on the celebration, but 2Old2Play’s Derek Nolan and former co-host Dan Quick sending their congrats as well. Paul’s presence is the go-ahead to give TJ and Scott permission to razz Jonah to no end, while Parker Brother board games are compared. This week’s Gaming Flashback is World of Goo.

The news for this magical 500th episode includes:

Question of the Week: “If you were a classic Parker Brothers board game, which would you be?”

  1. Hi guys!
    First of all: congratulations to 500 episodes πŸ™‚ There are not many (good) podcasts who have so many long episode. Long because nearly every podcast of your show is about an hour. ItΒ΄s nice to hear Paul again on the show .. he has such a nice humor, i love it πŸ˜€
    Regarding the topics in this episode: i really like POP Figures πŸ™‚ I have all 11 from Magic The Gathering, all from Back to the future and all from Michael Jackson. i like them as decoration for my gaming room πŸ™‚
    These games like skylanders, Lego Dimensions and so on: i dont like it that much .. its too expensive and the game itself is not that … intersting in my opinion :/
    It was nice to hear, that you are Star Trek Fans (or something similar like that ^^). Did you watch the latest series? Discovery? It think it was quite nice so far, even if it was strange to see the Klingons like that πŸ™‚
    To the question of the week: my choice of the Parker Boardgame would be Monopoly, because i played so often as a little kid (ok i did not have any other boardgame …).
    Keep on the good work guys and thanks again for your Podacst!
    Greetings from germany,
    Ralf

  2. sorry forget something: the new title song is way better then the one before πŸ™‚ but not as good as the one you had very man epidsodes ago. I already told it Jonah, but i dont know which episode it was (not the Robocop or Mass effect one).
