This is it, folks. The title says it all. Sega Addicts is closing its doors, and Brett, Stevie, and Scotty are here to discuss everything from beginning to end. The full details are in this episode and on the full post on the site itself. We cannot thank you all enough for everything that you have done from listening and reading, to chatting and vi…

We asked and you answered, or maybe you asked and we answered? It's a big ol' mailbag episode! Brett, Nic, and Scotty start out by discussing their personal Game of the Year recommendations and then dive right in to that Scrooge McDuck vault of letters and postcards you sent on the interwebz. We go through everything from why Sega should hire us, w…

Sonic Forces released. Did you know that? Yeah we sorta forgot for a second as well, but then we realized we should talk about it! Woo! Remember Sonic Mania? Crap, well try to forget it. Remember Sonic Generations? Well, try to forget that game too, because we need to talk about Sonic Forces! Nic, Brett, and Scotty also wanna tell you about some mo…

We interrupt our regularly scheduled podcast... schedule... to bring you a movie commentary! Fire up those VCRs and find your copy of the 1995 gem Mortal Kombat, because TJ, Nic, Brett, and Scotty are here to help you endure some "fine" cinema. That's right, you get to watch a movie with the Addicts! And boy howdy, are you in for a treat. The direc…

This week's episode the Addicts sorta talk about Sonic 3D Blast. Really though, this is your episode for fun facts about the Sega Nomad, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and PlayStation Demo Discs. Elle, Brett, and Scotty also discuss games that they could never sell or hold significant meaning. You can probably guess most of their answers. And that's why…

This week the Addicts discuss a cult classic from the beloved Dreamcast: Illbleed. You may wanna bring a spare pair of pants for this one according to a certain incredible commercial. The gang try to figure out what it is about the quirky game that keeps them coming back for more whether it's the Halloween season or not. And speaking of quirky, Ell…

This week the Addicts get back to the routine and bring in the spooky Sega Genesis classic (?) Haunting Starring Polterguy. We aren't really sure if anyone was looking for this game while trick-or-treating. But hey, it sure is unique... Joining Elle, Brett, Nic, and Scotty this week is their good buddy Anthony. You may remember him from such great …

The Addicts have all had a bit of time to recover from the annual 24-Hour Dreamless Dreamcast Marathon, and are very excited to recap the insanity. This week Elle, Brett, TJ, Pocky X, Scotty, and honorary Sega Addict MegaMatt gather to giggle about the gaming grander they garnered. For the next two hours, the Addicts recall all 24 hours of the Mara…

On this week's episode of the podcast, everyone's opinion is wrong except for Scotty's since cool people know that Sonic R is the best 3D Sonic game on the Sega Saturn. Sonic R is also worth every penny Scotty paid for it on release day. For some reason, people are willing to pay less than $50 for Sonic R now, and should probably learn the error of…

It was unavoidable, so we did the right thing. This week's Game of the Week is Sonic Mania. Did you expect something else from a Sega fan site? That's just silly. Brett, TJ, Pocky X, and Scotty discuss the good, the bad, and the balls of Sonic Mania this week. The Addicts also discuss most excellent origin stories and answer some amazing questions …

This week a gaggle of Addicts gather to give a game more internet air time than anyone logically has: Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein. This Dreamcast game has got it all, or does it? Or does it have too much? Elle, Pocky, TJ, Nic, Brett AND Scotty also finally get down to why the Dreamcast is so beloved and celebrated. Nic also tries to convinc…

This week, TJ Kitsune, Brett the Hatfield and Scotty discuss one of the lesser known, but more obscure Dreamcast launch titles: Blue Stinger. If anyone can save Dinosaur Island, clearly the Addicts are the ones for the job. Or maybe not. You decide? The Addicts also discuss what can determine or immediately deter their excitement for upcoming games…

Who made Smash Bros. before Smash Bros? Of course SEGA did! This week the Addicts discuss a beloved Saturn fighter that not enough people have played: Fighters Megamix. Why not a palm tree fighting a car? This week's episode kinda turns into a love letter for the Saturn, and the boys couldn't be happier about it. The Addicts also get way into their…

It's time for more movie content to drive you BANANAS! This week, we're talking about The Departed by Martin Scorsese. Join Pocky X, The Nic Flair, and Scotty Mo as we attempt to recover from a truly disastrous opening. Check it out! We just debuted on iTunes!

And boy howdy do they ha…

It's that time of year again! The Addicts have risked it all to show their faces on the show floor and bump fists with video game super stars. Brett, Stevie, and Scotty talk to all the big names in games in this episode from Randy Pitchford and Tim Schafer to Tim Burton and Sheldon Cooper! Never mind that Brett almost ends up in jail for murder, it…

For this episode, it's our longest in awhile as we completely cover Persona 5! Join myself, Nick, Cullen, and Pocky X as we go over our thoughts on the so-far surefire game of the year. Beware, if you haven't beaten the game yet, we do hit some heavy spoilers in the second part of the show, so make sure to turn off before then! Suggested talking po…

We've got some Blast Processing coming at you this week with a discussion of Streets or Rage 3. If you forgot about the 90's at all, Streets of Rage 3, and Iowa, sure will remind you how colorful it was and how much the kids love their basketball. And if they aren't then they be 'ILLIN'. Us Addicts also chit chat about the best "movement" in games …

Did you know Persona 5 released? Well you will, because that's almost all anyone played. Except Scotty, because he's real cool. The Addicts also discuss Sonic Lost World in more detail than expected. Hopefully you really can decide if you want this game or not, because the Addicts are all over the place with our opinions. And what do you think of S…

This week the lads discover just how much they love the new Power Rangers movie. And by that, I mean Scotty almost loses his breath telling you why you should spend your money on literally anything else. That aside, the Addicts are happy to be back and talking' some good ol' vidja games again! Brett has some big news, Scotty can't discuss Resident …

If there was a single Visual Novel series to recommend for newcomers to get into the genre, it’d have to be Zero Escape for blending complex puzzle solving gameplay and decision based visual novel storytelling. The Nonary Games is Spike Chunsoft and Aksys’ swan song for the trilogy; a re-release of the first two titles of the series, a complete HD …

Sometimes you play games you enjoy, and sometimes you play games on the Game Gear. This episode included one of those things and we'll let you decide which one. Ayrton Senna Super Monaco GP II was the name of the game this week, and it made Sonic Drift look pretty good. The Addicts also spend a good bit of time discussing what games they have been …

Brett, Nick, and Scotty are here to talk to you about time travel. And the only way to do it is with the help of rage, confusion, and a healthy dose of Sega civil war. That's right it's SONIC CD! The dudes go in deep with talk of the Sonic CD's history, the obvious soundtrack discussion, and how the game reminds them of Mario Kart. But the time tra…

Elle, TJ, Nick, Brett, Scotty, and (sorta) Cullen and Pocky X, have tallied their votes and are ready to tell you the most important things that composed the year of 2016 in video games. Sega, or not, they are gonna give it to you straight. Did we all decide on a winner? Did Sega have a great year? What is in store for next year? How many HD remake…

This week on the worldwide-electronic-voice-box-place Nick, Brett and Scotty discuss the game Iron Man on the original Nintendo DS, because who else would? Is it great? It's is passable? Is it a cash-in? All this and more! Fair warning there are major Life is Strange spoilers for anyone who has not completed the game yet. We also try to decide whet…

This week on the show, Elle, Nick, Brett, and Scotty discuss the best use of your rod: Sega Bass Fishing! In a rare turn of events, we all really enjoyed this Game of the Week!

This week we tackle another game no one asked for: NHL All-Star Hockey for the Game Gear. Elle and Brett spend almost as much time torturing Scotty with Gex puns as it takes to actually discuss the "game of the week." Everyone Gex what they ask for eventually, right? Our news section is exceptionally exciting this week as we talk about a whole lot …

This week on the podcast, Elle, Brett and Scotty discuss an unsung Sega Saturn classic: Three Dirty Dwarves. Why haven't more people played this game? Our apologies for the sound issues this episode. Some of us are working out kinks, and Scotty is crying over his new microphone. Along with the Game of the Week, we discuss our views on episodic game…

As much as we didn't want to admit it (well everyone except Brett), this discussion was inevitable. One of the most infamous games in a Sega Addict's library, Sonic the Hedgehog from the year 2006, better known as Sonic '06 claims us as its victims this week. Nick, Brett, and Scotty discuss Sonic '06 in great detail and disdain, while Brett tries t…

This week on the Sega Addicts Podcast, we welcome Chris and Marcin from SegaNerds.com to introduce their brand new digital-interactive magazine, Mega Visions!

This week on Sega Addicts, we play yet another wonderful (?) licensed movie game, Thor: God of Thunder for the Wii! We share some collective hype over Sega Nerds' new Mega Visions magazine, Sonic Mania, and other cool Sega stuff on the horizon, and- wait. How long's it been since we've been able to say THAT? Holy HELL. We also discuss reference poi…

This week on Sega Addicts, we do something a little different with the first edition of the newly-dubbed Sega Addicts Book Club to celebrate Halloween!

Join us on Friday for our super-special Halloween special!…

On this episode of Sega Addicts, we discuss the oddly-hype Tennis 2K2! (known across the pond as Virtua Tennis 2) We share times when games have zig-zagged our expectations, talk some games we didn't expect to suck you in so well and be so fun, and are slightly puzzled by the suggestion that Sega HASN'T made a Mario Tennis clone yet. They have, but…

This week on Sega Addicts, we discuss the oddly fun 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker for the Dreamcast! We spend some time coming up with the worst combinations possible for a game and try to pitch it anyway, get hype to play some Tennis 2K2 for next week, and slap the shit out of each other with puns galore. What in the hell happened to us?…

This week on Sega Addicts, special guest @DrCullenPHD joins us as we talk about a truly timeless classic that could be considered one of Sega's most influential works, Space Harrier!
