OutdateRef 203: Peace Out, Bitches


Starting off this episode strong as Adam and Nathan complaining about commercials on Prime as Russ gloats about his superior fiber connection and minimal interrupting commercials. We get to chat on a rare subject as the Cleveland Guardians clinched the Central Division and we will be able to enjoy some post season MLB Baseball and maybe win the whole F&@$ing thing? Oh man, a fan can dream. We also dive into Peacemaker but that’s not what I’m excited about this episode. This week Adam agrees to watch 3-5 episodes of anime that Russ and Nathan can agree on. What did we choose? Listen and find out!

OutdateRef 202:Dancing Starships and People




This week Russ, Adam, and Nathan gather around the ol’ podcast mics to chat with you about synchronous starships
and eaglehunting appropriating white folks. But before we focus on our main topic, we complain why you just can’t
buy a regular car anymore. Also Nathan has deep dived into anime and Adam is rediscovering “King of the Hill"with his kiddo and that's just awesome.

OutdateRef 201: Vulcans & Interdimensional Doorway


This week on the podcast, Russ and Nathan tackle the hard hitting topics like: Nathan getting his pinball back after it was stolen from him 15 years ago! Also, tariffs are really hindering my import gaming & arcade gaming in general.


We get to chat about the first episode of Peacemaker, and Russ has some great recommendations, like Alien Earth… Man, I need to check that show out. We go down memory lane about Twisted Metal but eventually we touch on the first episode of Peacemaker and more discussion about Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season 3.

OutdateRef 200: There's a Tardis in my Star Trek


For our 200th episode Adam decided to join Russ and Nathan as we get a crash course on the Star Wars TCG and about his experience at the Star Wars Unlimited Galactic Championship 2025 in Las Vegas, then schools up about World of Warcraft gold. 


We also get Adam’s take on the Fantastic Four, Gilded Age (Squee,) and of course, this episode takes on Star Trek Strange New Worlds where there's Q Ballz and a monster ship with a stupid face. Yeah, it's weird.

Big Ben Pinball upgrade (cir 2008)


Archival Article from Pineconeattack.back in 2008.  It's about upgrading to LEDs on my Williams Big Ben Pinball machine. This table was stolen from me back in 2010 and I just got it back this week. So I'll probably be posting pinball videos in the near future, after a 15 year hiatus due to theft. 



My current obsession, beside Metal Gear Solid 4, has been pinball. I’ve been yearning to purchase another table and to head back to the Pinball Hall of Fame and play some of the best pinball machines that, for the foreseeable future, I will never be able to afford. BUT I do have my trusty old Big Ben, the only problem is that I’m getting tired of the flickering lights and other minor annoyances like burn out light bulbs, so in an effort to spruce up my pinball table, I decided to go the LED route and colorize my table.

OutdateRef 199: Supes & The Fantastic Four

Russ and Nathan catch up with our feelings with James Gun's Superman and Marvels' take on the Fantastic Four.  Nathan picks up some comic books and we just talk about the general annoyance with comic book collecting in general. But then we get to talk about the the new season of Star Trek Strange New World. Man I still love that show!

OutdateRef 198: Gilded Age & More TV Recommendations


Russ and I catch up with this week's episode of Outdated References. Russ watched the new Superman film and does his best to not spoil it for me because I am  is waiting to watch it with  my brother, Adam , when he comes into town later in the month of July. There's no main show topic this week as we are waiting for "Star Trek Strange New Worlds" and Marvel's "Fantastic Four: The First Step" to drop later this month but we have a slew of shows to recommend, old and new. Mainly, go watch Gilded Age. We absolutely love this show.
