My biggest problem with streaming is you're relying on a big company to provide what you want to watch. I want to have Ghostbusters, Big Trouble in Little China and Jaws available to me at any time. Plus special features are kinda dead in this day and age. If you want to learn about a movie or tv shows background, there's about a zillion podcasts and youtube videos to learn everything you wanted to know about anything you want without the bias that they often have. Or at least the limitations of being involved with what they're talking about. Like The Simpsons commentaries you can tell when they want to talk about something but they can't. But then you listen to Talking SImpsons and oh hey, its because person working on the show X was a giant rear end in a top hat or they made some big company really upset or something else.

You figure that Rolf would be all over ripping his media and loading that to a huge server to use on a Plex account.

He was using a standalone device to record games that went to SD, and simultaneously to DVD for backup: https://twitter.com/cinemassacre/status/1204945440417992704 Presumably it was something that accepted component video using RGB-modded consoles Mike set up over the last few years. His captured footage has looked pretty good for a while now.

I can understand still using DVDs for his work, as blank dvds are dirt cheap these days.

Some of the nitpicks are like okay, that’s understandable, but to act like the format is not a clear upgrade is wack. That’s one of the more clickbaity videos I’ve seen out of him. And I mean he’s a filmmaker, you’d think he’d appreciate advances in the home theatre medium.

You guys do realize that he made a stupid video about blurays to advertise his own blurays, right? I'm just checking with you to be sure.

He has a few good points but he just seems to be ignorant about some of the stuff. Like Blu[e] in Blu-ray referring to the blue-ish laser diode color versus the red color in DVD lasers

Oh yeah, there was so much to that video I totally forgot about that. The technology behind the blue laser is fascinating. I never knew just how something so simple as blue light was such a groundbreaking moment in tech until I saw some video explaining it a few years back.

New episode on the different home ports of Mortal Kombat 1, including the Tiger handhelds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCUtXD27UyQ I'm more excited about the cliffhanger. The next episode will be about Time Killers.

Especially if it means James talking up Tattoo Assassins. Granted, there's no way for him to play it outside of an emulator because it was never actually released, but an MK ripoff with diarrhea attacks is right up his alley.

I liked this episode a lot compared to the more recent ones. Just the Nerd, some game history, ports of questionable quality, and his opinions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwIdSYyDn1I As usual, Mike doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. "There are games missing here because Nintendo wants you to buy the SNES Classic" Yeah. The thing that's no longer in production. Edit: brings up licensing briefly when discussing TMNT, but has no idea why Contra, Megaman, or Castlevania aren't on there.

I love how they wonder why there isn't certain Capcom games there and then they briefly go back to the menu and you see that they have the Capcom Beatem'up Collection.
