Back In The Day Show

Please join me in welcoming the newest member of the Back in the Day Show crew, Chad. He’s been a longtime friend of ours, but has only recently discovered the show through our MySpace page. He began listening to the shows and was instantly hooked. After listening to episode #2, Chad e-mailed us with the answer to the “Name That Game” question of that show. He guessed correctly, but unfortunately, we stopped playing that game a while back due to listener disinterest. So instead of awarding him a T-shirt, we decided to offer him a position on the show, and he actually agreed to join us (sucker!).

Chad’s movie and TV knowledge is impeccable, but since he didn’t own as many video games as a kid, we were a little concerned about his familiarity with the video gaming realm. So we administered a basic video game knowledge test that we have deemed the VGAT (Video Game Aptitude Test). Chad performed admirably, obtaining a solid “B”. Sure, he may not have received a “Super Job!” sticker, but he passed well enough for our purposes, which is a relief because we really didn’t want to fire him and refuse him a T-shirt.

Chad’s debut can be heard on episode #10, which I will be posting up tomorrow. I will also post a copy of the VGAT with an answer key so you, our wonderful listeners, can test your own video gaming knowledge.

Welcome to the show, Chad. We look forward to your input on the podcast and blog. Just don’t screw it up
