It's 2007, you're in your friend's basement and they bust out a Les Paul with a wii remote inside it, 5 buttons on the neck, and a whammy bar! All of a sudden Guitar Hero 3 was everywhere and Through The Fire And Flames was the most popular video on this new thing called YouTube. Neil and Mike are joined by friend of the show to breakdown why this game was so successful and the impact that both Guitar Hero and Rockband had on the world. This is part 1 of a special 2 part episode, look out for the other half next week!

P.S. enjoy this rare pic of baby Mike trying to figure out how to play a plastic guitar.

Happy 25th birthday to the one and only Conker's Bad Fur Day, a game that we very well may never see again but despite it's crassness and toilet humour it's a game that shines through it's creative gameplay and unique references. Friend of the show Harrison joins the pod to talk about Rare's final adventure for the N64.

New episode out wherever you get your podcasts!
