21 SET 2026 · https://www.buzzsprout.com/2500447/fan_mail/newDOUBLE DRAGON. RENEGADE WRESTLEFEST. AND THE WEIRDEST SHOOTER EVER MADE.
NEXT WEEK, MrBortman (https://www.instagram.com/mrbortmanttv/ ) joins the Time Pals as we pay tribute to Yoshihisa Kishimoto, the legendary game designer whose work helped define the beat-’em-up—and eventually gave wrestling nerds one of the greatest arcade games of the 90’s
We’re going from Renegade and the birth of the modern street brawler to Double Dragon, to Honky Tonk Man and Hacksaw Jim Duggan getting immortalized in WWF Superstars. And oh yeah, lots of Wrestlefest love too.
🐉 How Renegade became Double Dragon and changed arcade gaming
💪 Why Kishimoto being bitter about a break-up was the best thing to ever happen.
🕹️ The strange evolution from Renegade to Double Dragon
🤼 What the flying EFF was Cho Aniki about?!
🏆 And WWF WRESTLEFEST—the arcade wrestling game so goddamn good we're STILL talking about it 35 years later.

24 APR 2026 · https://www.buzzsprout.com/2500447/fan_mail/newA Spartan Takes on a Pirate!This week’s mini episode features co-host ShadoSpartan’s take on the rise and fall of one of his former favorite online personalities, PirateSoftware. So why devote an entire mini episode to the “Roach”?Roaches can survive anything. They adapt, they outlast, they get their dad at Blizzard to land them a job, lay off their moderators, side with billion-dollar corporations at every turn, never hold themselves accountable when they’re obviously wrong, and ban ShadoSpartan from chat just for saying hello. Mini episode theme by ShadoSpartan, whose album is available at:
