Hello the Internet! Welcome to the official show page for 80-Bit Podsmash. We are a weekly podcast smashing conversations about video games with topics that you care about. Please take time to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter with the links below. We are also on reddit at /r/80bitpodsmash; and Instagram, @80bitpodsmash.

We generally have a weekly streaming schedule.

Our schedule consisted of two weekly streams - a half hour video game news show, and a video game live stream of a game we're digging.

However, due to life circumstances for both Penguin and Termite, we are putting that on hiatus. Be sure to subscribe and follow along, so when we come back, you'll be ready

  2. 80 Bit Podsmash: Popularity vs Critical Acclaim

Apr 29, 2019

Penguin & Termite explore the apparent dichotomy of video game's popular reception vs critical reception. Why do some games seem to be so popular yet so shallow? Why do some games get a review score of 10 yet don't sell well? How do we determine if a game is successful or not? Come join us!

Feel free to join in on the conversation over on our subreddit /r/80bitpodsmash
