Early access: Episode 95 (it's about Batman) (Patreon)

This is another of those tricky weekends full of disruptions as Bob and I present a live panel at Midwest Gaming Classic, and for once I decided to get a jump on things. Rather than posting this week's early access episode late with a wall of apologies, I've gone and posted it early. So it's early early access. Like, double early. Which makes sense, because this is Retronauts East, and east coast time is ahead of west coast...? Or something?

This time around, Ben Elgin takes a powder while comics scribe/critic Chris Sims sits in for a topic near and dear to his heart: The history of Batman games. Well, the early history, anyway. I prepped notes all the way through Arkham Asylum, but we only made it to the 16-bit era, because we digressed into a lot of cultural and media context at work this time out. Which, honestly, makes for a much stronger episode that the one I had planned. Good thing this show went off the rails, eh?
