This very special episode of You Don’t Know Flack is all about ninjas. From wanting to be a ninja in the 1980s to watching ninja movies and playing ninja-related video games, I cover it all in this deadly episode. To add ambiance and set the mood I recorded this episode out in the woods. Was that a good idea? You’ll have to listen and decide!
I added a bunch of Youtube links for this episode so be sure to check those out.

In this apparently cursed episode of You Don’t Know Flack, I tell the story of Yukon Software, the computer software store my parents opened and ran during the 1980s.
Still on track! Episode 131 of You Don’t Know Flack is all about boxes — not the cardboard kind, but the phone phreaking kind. After covering all the biggies (blue boxes, red boxes, beige boxes, and black boxes) I get into some of the slightly less well-known boxes (pink boxes and cheese boxes) and talk about what finally killed phone phreaking. 
After a slight detour, we’re back with episode 130! In this episode of You Don’t Know Flack I talk about my early experiences with pagers, PDAs, and cell phones. I also talk about the time I almost got killed.
In Episode 129 of You Don’t Know Flack, I talk about the collection of arcade games (six, in all) that I owned back when I lived in El Reno, Oklahoma. These were the first six arcade games I owned, all of which I sold when I moved out of state. The six machines were: Elevator Action, Mat Mania, Shinobi, Street Fighter II – Championship Edition, Power Instinct 2, and Star Wars.
For Episode 128 of You Don’t Know Flack it seemed fitting to talk about the Commodore 128, even though I didn’t personally own one back in the day. This episode also includes 20 minutes of rambling after I had driven 800 miles in a day so, lucky you.
Episode 127 of You Don’t Know Flack is all about BASIC programming. In this week’s podcast I talk about some of the BASIC programs I write as a kid along with some of my current Visual Basic and vbscript projects. During the show’s (30 minute, sorry) intro I answer an e-mail about the state of my current arcade collection and a voice message about Satan’s Hollow from Satan himself.
This week’s show is all about the Nintendo Entertainment System — the NES, for short. In this episode you’ll get to hear about how and when I got my first NES and what games I used to play. You’ll also learn about the horrible television I used to own, how I built up my collection of 300+ cartridges, and the exact moment I realized my girlfriend was also my soul mate. I also answer questions from callers about Commodore RAM Expansion Units and the best retro computer to bludgeon someone to death with.
On this episode of You Don’t Know Flack I talk about the Video Game Crash of 1983: what caused it, and why Imissed it. 
This week’s show is about the Arkadia Retrocade in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I spent several hours at the Arkadia arcade yesterday. Here’s what I found!
