Oh lol I remember that firefighter game. The german localisation of it was insane. Kung-Pow esque translation.

Also theres the Firestarter music again but nobody made fun of it this time.

EDIT: I take that back, right at the end Jeff made fun of it.

For Jeff's info, Quidditch is very well defined in Harry Potter thanks to the companion short book "Quidditch Through the Ages", which explains the history of the sport and all of the rules. It's genuinely one of the most fleshed out bits of Harry Potter.

Wow, they finally got to ChainDive! It was maybe the first page I contributed to on the site. And now I know which demo disc to find it on again.

Holy crap, I think the Red Cauldron is Anfield, and I can't believe they got the actual names for the players, it was always some ersatz name.

I wish they'd just skype in Dan for these. Brad says almost nothing. Whatever happened to the cross-country stuff? Seems like once in a blue moon some stuff shows up and then they don't do it again.

I think I might be in the minority here, but I had kinda hoped they'd retire this segment when Dan went East and replace it with something new.

Oh criminey. This video starts with FFXI, something I pumped probably close to 3000 hours into on PC. Let the memories commence!

It's so great. It's like a Japanese take on early 90s American Deep House. It so doesn't fit the game's action, but it's also oddly fitting in a strange way.

The original socom is probably still the online game I played the most. It was so good!

For me it was Socom II. Getting deep into a clan in that game seriously screwed with my social life in high school.

Drew asked if there was a Backdraft game while they were playing Firefighter FD 18. There's no standalone Backdraft game, but it does feature as a mini-game in Universal Theme Park Studio Adventure on the Game Cube. It's a terrible game in case you couldn't guess. Random knowledge.

Will forever be grateful for this video turning me on to Technouchi, the composer for ChainDive.
