Welcome to Basement Arcade: Pause Menu! The show where we hit pause, sit back and just chill. Join host Ben Magnet and a guest or guests as they talk about video games both retro and modern! When we say any and all video game topics we MEAN all video game topics. Nintendo, consoles, handhelds, anniversaries, E3, E.T. and more! You name it, we want to talk about it. Tangents and rants aren't only welcomes, they're encouraged!
