Hello. Nice to see you again. Let's get to it: after 3 seasons of laughs, jokes, and whatnot, David has decided to step away from the pod. This is David typing this so idk why I'm doing it in third person. Anyway - thank you! I'm leaving my door open. But still, knock. Please. But thank you again!

Yesterday marked the first anniversary of our Halloween special. It's still an episode we're immensely proud of - most of all for packing in an entire mini audio drama at the end! Lots of edit work but it was so so worth it.

Hello, gamers. David here. Our next episode is still coming along, so fear not, we have not (what's a gamer thing? lost connection? no that's internet. hm) uh we have not lost the save file! there. We have not--we're still in the game. Uh that is to say watch this space for Gaming. Thanks.

David and I are still figuring out what we can *actually* do for the remainder of the year. The pod's not necessarily on ice, but it's also not in a position where I'm comfortable making promises I'm unsure we can keep. That's about as much as I can share for now. Hoping to be through it soon! - Sam

This has been nothing completely unexpected to be clear. I am being seen to by medical professionals!! It's all just happening... very slowly. Suffice to say though - creative energy has been at a severe deficit for me while I've basically been in survival mode. Took a while for me to accept that!

SO, er. Yeah. I was a bit premature in putting this statement out...! Honest-to-god, thought I was hitting a second wind, only to have a period of about 10 days immediately following this where I was barely able to stay awake for more than 4 hours at a time. Not ideal, to put it lightly.

HELLLLOOOOO GAMERS! Thanks for your patience during this extended hiatus. Our game plan for S4 is set and ready - just getting final pieces and a decent buffer in place before we're ready to commit to a schedule. More news as soon as we have it! - Sam

Our sister show is ending (for now), without it, it would be fair to say there would be no Gamer Era. Live long and prosper with the force, Eleven!

Hi. Hello. Monday the 8th of September was set to be the release date for our episode on the Sarah Jane Adventures series finale, The Man Who Never Was. It will be delayed for a small while. This is due to the following announcement: we have decided to rest Podtor Whocast for the foreseeable future

Our lovely guest Lewis from Episode 033 ("Death in the Pac-Family") is looking to take SEGADriven to the next level - do consider pledging your support!

Also some inside baseball for the fun of it: when this was originally recorded in May, we had to do a retake on E32 at short notice due to similar file issues - so we recorded that, this, and then E33 (the Skip feature!) all within about... 3 or 4 days, I think? Like a cold pod-splash to the face!

SURPRISE!!! This one sat in the furnace for a good while but was immensely fun to guest on, so so glad it's out. Quite excited to listen back to it, oddly! Please do go check out the full NintenDormant channel as well - lots of incredibly deep pulls and the whole concept is wonderfully creative.

People should listen to our show. Good episodes on things like Donkey Kong, ChuckleVision, games award shows, and a lot of Bruce Forsyth talk

And that closes Season 3 of Gamer Era! We're gonna take another break before we kick back off again - not certain on the timing just yet, but within a couple months for sure. In the meantime though, why not leap into our considerable backlog? Slay that dragon, as the kids say! gamertime.online

Today's new episode will be another late-evening drop! Been an exceptionally busy fortnight and I gave myself a slight headache with the audio design on this one so it needs a little longer to "cook", as it were. - Sam

Plus - as a companion piece to both this ep and today's Bananza blowout - check out our Donkey Kong feature episode from February! Pretty immense to think of how much has shifted since then: rss.com/podcasts/gam...
