It used to be true, and still is to some extent, that visiting a video game store in Japan is a rite of passage for foreign visitors to Japan, but if you pull out a camera to take a video you may find you are no longer welcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Vinnk discusses how vloggers have ruined retro game shopping for everyone else in Japan with their bad or just obnoxious behavior.  In Future Retro and Pile of Shame we talk about Unlimited Saga, and Sean learns the right way to unlock a very old secret in Super Mario World.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"One More Continue" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari Tones: &lt;a href="http://imaritones.net" target="_blank"&gt;http://imaritones.net&lt;/a&gt;.

New Xbox Series X consoles don't have discs.  New Xbox consoles aren't even Xboxes.  Or Consoles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/br /&gt;

Sean helps Vinnk navigate his new digital-only Game Pass addiction, while in Pile of Shame Vinnk finally shares Portal with the next generation of gamers, as Sean struggles to complete Fallout 3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/br /&gt;"One More Continue" and "RPG" theme songs by the Imari Tones: &lt;a href="http://imaritones.net" target="_blank"&gt;http://imaritones.net&lt;/a&gt;.

Come on, Nintendo! "Super Nintendo Switch" was RIGHT THERE...

Sean sent Vinnk a blu-ray copy of The Last of Us for Christmas with the expectation he'd rather watch the show than play the game.  However, our livestream audience had very strong opinions about the best order to experience this amazing story.  Should Vinnk play the game even though it's a lot longer, and survival/horror isn't really his thing?  Or does the HBO series which dives down deep into its characters and is quite a bit lighter on zombies and the shoot shoot bang bang a better path?
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/br /&gt;

Selfishly, Sean wants to know if the HBO series hits as hard without playing the game, and he still believes it's possible to enjoy the game afterward.  Vinnk is afraid if he has to play the game before watching the show that he'll never do either.  What's the best way forward?
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/br /&gt;

In Future Retro, Vinnk got Another Code... twice!  And In Pile of Shame, Sean finally fixes his 3DS, and we discuss the amazing Zelda II remake for PC!
