MetalJesusRocks visits some retro stores
Those big box PC games are great. That really takes me back. There's something so indefinable about the thrill of 90s gaming. Perhaps it's just the rose-tint of nostalgia.

Elijah Wood eats hot wings
This is such a great show and it's good to see it return to its usual format of in-person questions. And doing it safely, too!

Did you know Shacknews has a Twitch show dedicated to N64 games? You can catch our own skankcore playing through the entire North American library of Nintendo 64 games a couple of times a week!
