The Working Dead Podcast



Untitled

New episodes every Friday!

2 guys talking about the video game industry, from the business side, to the retail side and all sides including your backside.

Jason - A self proclaimed "hardcore casual" gamer, Jason finds himself playing tons of iPhone games and the best of the triple A titles. Having played video games since the Atari 2600 at age 3 Jason has seen the rise of gaming from its humble beginnings. From the video game crash of the early 80's, a bad case of "Nintendo thumb", the 16 bit wars, the rise of the Sony Playstation and the phoenix resurgence of Nintendo.

Ben - With over 10 years of video game retail under his belt, Ben has seen the best and the worst the video games industry has to offer. Ben is gamers gamer, he'll beat that level you couldn't beat in about 2 minutes, max out your character with the best armor, and pull off a Summon Suffering and a Calamity Symphony without blinking.
