Episode 188: Nexting Etiquette

In Episode 188, Brent and Rob talk about nexting etiquette, the do’s and don’ts of putting a quarter on an arcade cabinet to signify being next on the game.  They also talk about “Contra dancing” and 1980’s interactions.  There’s also another installment of Prizes From Gabe as well as a new user-submitted VGM Karaoke performance.  At one point, Rob adopts a new console (as seen in the photo), and at another point, the boizz sing about Vanilla Ice.  So nexting etiquette is hardly the subject of this episode -it’s a whole grab bag of stuff, including good video game music.  Full track listing below.
