Sprite Castle 030: Sword of Fargoal

In most Rogue-like games you start off with a sword. In this one, you’re in search of one! Fire up your Commodore 64 and join us as we go in search of this 1983 classic game by Epyx, SWORD OF FARGOAL.

Congratulations to Extent of the Jam, this episode’s King of the Castle and now a member of Sprite Castle Royalty! Listen to this week’s episode to find out how you can become the next King of the Castle! Remember, I need the song title and its relationship to this episode! Last episode’s secret song was Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

YDKF Episode 175: Hardest Hits

2016-06-05 12.52.56In episode 175 of You Don’t Know Flack, I run down a list of the top 10 hardest hits I’ve taken in my life. Some of them came from fists, a couple came from skateboarding incidents, and at least one came from a police officer. I hope you enjoy these stories. Some of them, I can still feel.

YDKF Episode 174: Cars

68 Firebird 1

The podcast’s engine is roaring back to life with another new episode! On this episode I tell a few stories about the cars I destroyed in my youth. If I sound hoarse, it’s because I recorded half the episode and then Audacity locked up so I had to start all over. Even if you’re not a car person, I’ll bet you’ll enjoy some of these stories of misspent youth!
