Interview With Arturo aka Sabin Jun 06, 2022

Show notes

Here's a "swapcast" with friend, tournament organizer and pro gamer Arturo, aka Sabin. We streamed this live on Art's Twitch channel and I'm also featuring it here, as we think both of our audiences would enjoy us nerding out over lag, capture and just other fun randomness. There were some connection issues, but I think I did a decent enough job stitching it together here, so it's barely noticeable. This is also available as a video on either of our channels - Just check the links for more info: https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-arturo-aka-sabin.html

Here's an interview with Matt, aka Matteusbeus. I've been a fan of his videos ever since I first saw his FMV work and it was a pleasure to finally have a chat!

Interview With Zophar May 23, 2022

Show notes

I'm excited to share an interview with the legendary Zophar, founder of the emulation-focused site Zophar's Domain. If you were around in the emulation scene of the 90's, this is going to be a crazy trip down memory lane...and if you're new to it all, it's a fun look at the roots of the retro scene!
