Uf dah! The selection of restaurants was more diverese than one would think. Tom had some notable omissions from his list (say, establishments like Bonanza and Old Country Buffet).
Wild card topic of the day is an (perhaps unfortunate) return of the “Celebrity Gang Bang”, but slightly less risque (I think). Watch out Oprah Winfrey and the mens US olympic hockey team.

This was a difficult, difficult question with so many irritating characters in the loser-actor bouquet of broadcast TV. A few shows were represented between many lists (aka “Full House” and “Who’s the Boss?”). Listen for an unbelievable impersonation of Mrs. Garrett from “Facts of Life”.
Wild card topic for the day is this: Create a washed-up celebrity pull-string doll with an assortment of sayings (think the original ‘chatty cathy’ dolls). Watch out Steve Guttenberg!

Wow, I thought this was a great, if not broad, topic. Tom went a little overboard with his list and included some links to games for his choices and all links are at the end of these show notes. Daren busted out a classic pick in “Bananas” and EC reminded us all of the educational fun of “Number Munchers”.
Wild card topic was rather intricate. Basically, if we were to have an action figure created in our likeness, what it would look like and what sort of powers would he/she have? Daren takes the cake with his DPA – Drunken Public Avenger.

The question was posed as select your top 10 animated series and this could cover anywhere from “Family Guy” to “Gumby and Friends” and everything in between. Some seriously cool cartoons were discussed like Animaniacs, Captain Planet, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and more! Don’t worry, newer, more “Adult Swim” cartoons were not ignored like Space Ghost and Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Wild card topic of the day: what was the most embarrassing cartoon that you dare admit to watching on the air? Tom and Kunk admitted to some very feminine cartoons while EC and Daren duked it out over some very obscure celebrity-associated animations. This is our first episode featuring 4 professional microphones and a kick-apples little mixer. Hopefully you enjoy the new clearer sound to our drivelings.

What better topic for a bunch of guys to discuss than action figures? We were required to select not only a toy line, but specific figures within that line. Some obvious inclusions are G.I. Joe, Transformers and He-man, but don’t miss oddities such as Mad Balls, Go-bots, Centurions, and TMNT.
Wild card topic of the day is your favorite gimicky breakfast cereal of your youth. Do you remember Donkey Kong cereal??

Welcome back to the meat ‘n potatoes of our podcasts, lots of lists with obscure references. This episode we explore the best and worst comic strips. The favorite strips were quite varied, but a strange sense of unity was found upon exploring the worst comic strips, watch out Kathy! Wild card topic for the day is to pick a Twins baseball player and what crime we imagine them committing. This was inspired by the news of ex-Twins relief pitcher Jeff Reardon arrested for a jewelry store heist.

A small departure from the norm where we rip through our top 10 liquids (yes, any liquid) of all time. And to liven up the show post-liquid, our wild card topics are our preferred ways to meet our maker.
WARNING!!! Our second wild card topic – “gang bang” madness! – is definitely for mature audiences only as rated R. There is a warning in the show if you wish to stop and not listen to this content, but we thinks you won’t be able to resist!

Whoops! Small technical glitch makes this episode sound as if it were recorded on an answering machine, the problem was found and eliminated with extreme prejuidice. We rediscover such classics such as Domino Rally, Mouse Trap, Don’t Wake Daddy and Pigmania. Wild card topic for the evening is what is the worst / most hated game of all time.

Welcome back to the Sector 512 podcast. This episode features a change in format to what will be used for all future releases, e.g. more content, less dead air and overall increase in maturity.
Today, we are talking about the primo video game system of our youth, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
We will list and debate our top 10 game choices and what game we think should/could have been for the NES that wasn’t. Highlights is Daren’s idea for the could-have-been hit “East Coast Sniper” featuring use of the gamepad to move your sniper to the best killing spot and then using the light gun to do the shooting. Excellent and disturbing.
