1996 was an interesting year given the PS1 started cranking out RPGs. Not all of them were good, but dammit they tried! As a result, this is when the SNES really kicked it into full gear to try to compete. Overall, it was a very good year for console RPGs, but that’s not to say there weren’t any good PC RPGs. There were only 15 games, so this should be quick.

Wonderpod is like a train. Right on schedule and mowing down cows. This week was a different type of show. We had two first time guests and one guest appearing for the third time. If that isn’t confusing enough they are all from Wales. If your still confused, you need to listen to some of […]

Get ready for a new Wonderpod. This week we talk a lot about FPS gaming. Kind of digging these episodes.

Everyone Else Writes About Video Games, So Why Not I? – An Unholy Trinity
One of the most prominent veins in Video Game Journalism On The Internet is reminiscing about retro gaming. Be it masturbating over Super Mario Bros. 3, or throwing a fit over how godawful some bad games were, it seems like it is a cool thing to do. So, seeing as this column of mine was conceived in a “If you can’t beat them, join them” attitude, why don’t I join in on the nostalgia fest.

Minecraft Road Trip Episode 1
Hello there fine people of Wonderpod-Online. I have undertaken a little journey with one of my minecraft worlds. I was first going to do this as a screen shot post. After watching Glasenator’s video yesterday I got inspired and scrapped that post in favor of a video. This video is not as good as in game capture, but I will work on it as the series rolls along. Basically I am using torch marked roads to travel all over the world. Each week I will put together a montage of the work I did building the road. Enjoy the first episode.
Glasenator Plays Minecraft
Since we’ve been talking about it a lot on the podcast recently I though it would be interesting if I showed off my Minecraft world. Let me know if you’re interested and I might possibly do more.
PatMan Plays – Super Mario 64 DS.
Wonderpod Episode 53
It is once again time for Wonderpod. We are using a Russian roulette method to choose hosts. So far it has worked rather well. We may need to get a larger pool of potential host, but will set fire to that bridge when we get to it. Wow I am really losing it with introductions. I may need to do seven face palms, while you enjoy this
An Introduction to Destruction
Hey everyone, Jonkind here. I just wanted to write a quick introductory post to firstly thank the WonderPod team for giving me the opportunity to do some posting here on the site as well as help them out with Episode 51 of the podcast, I had a blast. Secondly, I wanted to give you a quick look/preview of what I’m all about and what I’ll be posting here on WonderPod Online.
I’ve been a pop culture junkie my whole life, I’ve followed the various goings-ons of TV, movies, music, comics, video games, wrestling and so on… and I’ve always had an opinion about them. I’m quick to sell you on what I like and I’m prepared to stomp on what I don’t. I plan to touch on all these pop culture topics in some form or fashion here at WonderPod Online, mostly in the form of reviews and commentary. I’ll be doing a lot of retro reviews, dipping into my back catalogs as I tend to do regularly but I hope to hit some current stuff too. At any rate, I’m looking forward to having new eyes read my stuff and I’m happy to be a small part of the WonderPod team.
Cheers,
Jonkind
