    The Cabinet Podcast

    Can a Ms. Pac-Man arcade cabinet from the 1980s be haunted? How did a virtual plague nearly wipeout the massive digital realm in the World of Warcraft? Did the music in Pokemon drive people insane?

    The Cabinet Podcast is a bi-weekly podcast that explores the creepypastas, urban legends, and ghost stories throughout the history of video games from the rise of the arcade to the modern console generation. The stories feature familiar names like Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, Atari, and Sega.

    Every episode, host Tim Gibson brings you a new weird or terrifying story based on actual events highlighted through a dramatic narrative. At the end, he’ll analyze the truth around the tale using media reports and other sources. Check back every other Wednesday for new episodes of The Cabinet Podcast.

    Episode 22: Arcade Anthology: Polybius Rises Oct 24, 2018
    Show notes

    It’s a video game urban legend so big one podcast couldn’t tell the whole story. You’re in for a Halloween treat, gamers, as four other shows join the Cabinet Podcast to tell the story of Polybius. This is Arcade Anthology: Polybius Rises featuring the Cabinet Podcast, Conspeared, 2 Girls on a Bench, Karaok Big E, and the Totally Unreal Book Club. When the screens go dark, Polybius rises. Trick or Treat, gamers. (Part of the All the Horror collaboration.)

    Episode 21: Chicken Oct 10, 2018
    Show notes

    Ignore the messages on the screen. Once you answer the texts on your phone, you’re already playing her game. There is no winning against the monster MoMo. The creepy mutation of chicken and woman will only accept one outcome from her challenge: your death.

    Episode 20: Cult of No Personality Sep 26, 2018
    Show notes

    Don’t call it a video game. It’s more than that. It’s a gateway to a dark dimension. It’s an eye looking towards the future. Your path to become a warlock of the highest order. At least, that’s how one lonely boy saw what many gamers call the most boring Nintendo game ever made. He became so obsessed with Rare’s Taboo: The Sixth Sense that he formed a cult around it. Learn more about Little Dwayne’s strange obsession on this episode of the Cabinet. (Listen at the top of the podcast for a special announcement.)

    Episode 19: Bad Moon Rising Sep 12, 2018
    Show notes

    There’s always a price. A video game from the 1980s promises riches untold to one gamer who solves its complicated riddles. The prize buried beneath the white moonlight instead will leave a dark spot on his soul for the rest of his life. Sit back, gamers, as the Cabinet weaves the tale of the classic creepypasta Pale Luna and examines the truth behind the story. (***Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of murder and violence. Listener discretion is advised.***)

    Episode 17: The Maddening Aug 15, 2018
    Show notes

    It’s third and long. The whole game is on the line. It would be a lot easier if our star running back was on the field. Too bad he took the offer to be the cover athlete for that Madden football video game. The curse got him. Snapped his ankle like a twig. Now, the whole team is paying for that decision. We’re all victims of the Madden Curse now.
