Jeff on As It Happens (Canadian Radio!) (Patreon)

I had the opportunity to speak with Nil Köksal of As It Happens on CBC Radio One today. The show is available now, and you can find me around the 38-minute mark of the above link, talking about the hard science that has powered the last three-ish years of ranking NES games. Thanks to Jonathan Ore for connecting me with them on this important topic.

Hard to believe this project is almost finished, it's been a very long road to get to this point. I keep wondering if I'll have anything "smart" to say about this once it's finally done and I'm just not sure. There are plenty of really interesting observations that I've stumbled into along the way--the large cluster of games that sound like they fell out of a C64, to name one--but I think you've probably heard most of those by now.

The science will continue. It must. Thank you all for funding this incredibly important science and I hope to see you there next Friday when we wrap up this first chapter. As someone who has had decades of "you must cover the new releases" beaten into him by The Job, it's been very enlightening and rewarding to see this through.
