This episode is so intense it's gonna make your little thumbs hurt (because we're playing on that ruthless NES D-pad, of course)! Today Conner sits down with comedian, F1 enthusiast, and good uncle Cory Willis to discuss Super Contra (1990) on the NES. Cory dives down memory lane by discussing playing this game in co-op with his brother and his friend John, reveals his immunity to caffeine, and talks about how this game presented rare moments of solidarity between him and his older brother.

You just know that we (and Master Chief) had to do it to them. For the January 2022 Call Me By Your Game co-op Episode we’re bringing you a discussion about the return of Master Chief in Halo Infinite (2021).

You know where I feel at home? In a pixelated covered wagon just outside of Jackson, Missouri. That’s why today we’re finally discussing the phenomenon that is The Oregon Trail. Today your host Conner is joined by his improv buddy, actor, and friend of a shared alma mater Rachel Marsh. Rachel recalls being fascinated by this game at a co-op school she briefly attended, patiently waiting her turn to use the computer and play the game, and being best friends with Stephen Curry.

Ep.100 – Microsoft 3D Movie Maker with Conner McCabe Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

Well, folks. We finally went full WTF and interviewed our host in a fun little role reversal. Our producer Jeremy Schmidt took up hosting duties for this one and sat down with Call Me By Your Game’s Conner McCabe to discuss his experience with Microsoft 3D Movie Maker (1995), a children’s animation program for Windows. Conner shares about his addiction to playing this game and reliance on fart sound effects, the many Matrix rip-offs, and the scope of this seemingly rudimentary program.
