This week on Retronauts,

there ain't no love song like the squeal of a 56K modem reaching out for a connection. Hello and welcome to Retronauts. I am your host for this week, Nadi Oxford. Friends, we live in dark, dire times, but I'm not going to dwell on that. In fact, I'm really hoping today's episode brings a bit of light and levity into your lives

because I've decided to do something a little different, a little maybe corny and cheesy,

but still very retro and definitely, definitely still games related.

Let's talk about love, a special kind of long-distance love.

This week, my guest is David Oxford, my husband of 25 years come this

June, I'm pretty sure. And the way we shacked up might be of interest to some of you, because the

90s were suns setting and internet technology was getting better, but it had a long way to go, so

connections were a little harder to make. But we still had emails. We still had those

primitive old message boards and they just worked just fine. And that's what many of us pioneers

used to foster connections with each other back in the day. So without further ado, say hi, David.

Hello. It's good to have you on the show. You've been on the show before. I can't remember.

I know you've been on blood God for Battle Network, but I don't remember why I had you on Retronauts if you even were on Retronauts. But it's nice to have you here. Are you excited to talk about the story of us?

I am very excited. And I am glad you decided to have me here for this episode.

Yeah, that would have been. It would have kind of awkward without you, I guess. And, yeah, I've been on retronauts a couple of times, the most recent, we were talking about Mega Man Zero-Four. That's it. We were for Mega Man Zero-four, and it was Mega Men Battle Network. Network that was I think the the Patreon episode and uh yeah

that was Patreon sorry Pantheon episode on blood on Acts of the Blood God uh you're you're a Mega Man
