Talking to My Boy About Videogames – 18 – We Hate AI But Love Robots

On this unhinged episode of Talking to My Boy about Videogames, Ryan accuses Jonathan of being famous and therefore knowing how to get good graphics in video games, AI is mocked at the Wendy’s drivethrough, and as always, cats abound. The Boys talk about Dead Cells, Hello Neighbor, Kirby Air Riders, Megaman, and Terminator 2: No Fate, along with a few brief stops at Minecraft and Animal Crossing. Plus we get a bit of movie reviews for Spongebob, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Anaconda.

Daniel is a podcast producer and musician who spends way too much time in the edit to make audio sound as good as possible. He’s cutting the “umms” and “uhhhs” and replacing them with cartoon sound effects. His taste in video games is often extremely specific, and he’s recently learned that a lot of his opinions about video games are bad and wrong, but that won’t stop him from having them. His music was featured in Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. He's been producing podcasts since 2021.
