On an all new episode of the Retroist, I talk all about Wizardry. This game was a revelation to me as a young player of Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs. It drove me to want to own a computer just so I could play it and opened up all new digital worlds to me.

In 2009, I released a podcast about one of the greatest video games of all time, Pac-Man. Since then, I have learned a lot about podcasting and Pac-Man, and wanted to redo it. So on this brand-new episode, I am heading back to the arcade to take a look at Pac-Man all over again.
