Ep.3 | Retro Games, Halo Battles, and Pokémon Obsessions: A Chat with Tom

From Demo Discs to Legendary Halo Nights: The Games That Shaped Us

In Episode 3 of the Geek Fit Podcast, I sit down with my long-time friend Tom, and we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, revisiting our favourite games from childhood through adulthood. We talk about the early PlayStation days, Halo’s huge impact on our teenage years, and the countless hours spent mastering Pokémon together. We had so many fun memories to share that we didn’t even make it to the later part of our gaming lives—so stay tuned for Tom’s part 2! Whether you’re a fan of Halo, Crash Bandicoot, or Pokémon, this episode is full of laughs, memories, and gaming discussions that’ll take you right back to your own gaming origins.
