FLAVOR TEXT: Console Wars

in ,

Before Xbox and Playstation were waging war in the 2000s, we were dealing with the console war version of the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The shot heard 'round the world was a simple phrase: "Sega does what Ninten-don't." We all remember the bold and edgy marketing that drew the line in the sand. Brother against brother, we all had to take a side in the console wars of the 90s, but that's not the whole picture of a story that starts years earlier. Join us today as Matt walks us through the earliest console wars in today's FLAVOR TEXT guranteed to hit you hard right in the nostalgia bone.

FLAVOR TEXT: Dark Souls

in

Yes, indeed. In the Age of Internet Video the world of Content Creation was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of dancing babies, epic meals, and Star Wars kids. But then there was Podcasting and with Podcasting came disparity. De-monetization and ad revenue, Copyright strikes and brand deals. Then from the dark, they came, and found of the Sponsorships of Lords within the code. Quibi, the First of the Dead. Best Fiends and their daughters of Chaos, spelled like "friends" without the "r". Blue Apron, the Lord of Sunlight, and their faithful knights Butcher Box and Hello Fresh. Thus began the Age of Podcasting. But soon, the ad revenue will fade and only Content will remain.

Special thanks to devoted skeleton of #buttthwompnation, "mgrum54" for commissioning today's episode!
