Double-Tapping the Power Button with Willie
Backyard wrestling, getting dissed over a Nintendo 64, and surviving Resident Evil. Join Joseph and Taylor as they interview Willie about his experience with video games.
In this episode, we focus on Willie's gaming experience and interests. Willie explains how he convinced his parents to buy him multiple gaming consoles and let him rent Mortal Kombat for the first time. We blast to the past with the Atari 2600 and remember the ridiculousness of an NES game called Bad Street Brawler. We also get Willie to revisit his backyard wrestling days with his tag team partner, Pyro. His story wouldn't be complete without mentioning Resident Evil, a video game rental store called Videos To Go, and playing pc games with his oldest brother. We wrap by talking about button-mashing techniques for Caveman Games.
