About Searching for Grog

Probing unsolved mysteries (tangentially related to video games) that nobody else dares (or cares) to investigate. We try to answer questions like who the voiced Colossus epic roar in Konami's X-Men arcade game, why Wikipedia credits completely unrelated people as the creators of the Power Glove and more. Join us on an epic goose chase involving interviews with game designers, voice actors and other guests who are way too important for the stupid questions we ask them.

   (A) Power Glove Creator Chris Gentile interview

   Chris Gentile started off designing nuclear power stations, then joined his brothers' company to design holograms for action figures. It was here he was tasked with turning the $9,000 Data Glove into a $50 consumer product called the Power Glove. This would put Chris on a career path where he would design a 3D game console for Hasbro, and even a VR ride for Disney World in Florida. We sat down and asked him a few questions.

   Frosties or Fingies

   Evan tracks down Grant Goddard, one of the people incorrectly credited as the creator of the power glove along with Samuel Cooper Davis. We find out just how the two came to be credited in the first place and some insight into why it hasn't been taken down. We also find out Chris Gentile, one of the ACTUAL creators of the power glove, is nice.
