For this special offer visit www.gotomeeting.com/techpodcasts (http://www.gotomeeting.com/techpodcasts) --- Huge thanks to my co-host from the last episode, it turns out that was one of the better received episodes I've had in quite a while. Today;s show is jam packed with great stuff from front to back. We have a ton of retro content, both old and new, old made new, new working with old. Sound like gibberish? I promise it will all make some sense after the show. We'll be heading back into the realm of 8 bit games, dealing with new ways of enjoying them, honoring them and playing with the characters from them. But the show is more than just a collections of memories made current. Its also all about the cool things happening right now, enjoy the Bacon, and feast on the hubris.
