In this episode, John and Dave look back at the Sega Dreamcast, sharing memories of the console that was ahead of its time but gone too soon.

• The Dreamcast had zero copy protection – John and Dave traded burned game CDs ”like baseball cards”
• Their gaming favorites included Crazy Taxi (with its Offspring soundtrack), Jet Grind Radio with its anime style, and Shenmue's groundbreaking open world
• John demonstrates his new ”Singe” emulator that runs Laserdisc-style games and lets people create interactive adventures from movie clips
• They reminisce about playing games on massive CRT TVs that ”weighed a billion pounds”
• John shares his Batocera emulation setup that includes arcade games and serves as a central ROM library
• They discuss how modern gaming is moving toward platform-agnostic services, similar to what Sega did after the Dreamcast
