Play It Up Podcast BONUS STAGE - The Shed Experience - BEST TO WATCH ON YOUTUBE!! Much of this episode will be most enjoyable in video as it is more of a VLOG.

Play It Up Podcast BONUS STAGE - The Shed Experience - BEST TO WATCH ON YOUTUBE!! Much of this episode will be most enjoyable in video as it is more of a VLOG.

In late September, 2022 Shaun went to The Shed Arcade in Denmark. The Shed is a privately owned arcade and the owner Michael Trier invites some mates over every 3 months and a weekend of gaming and drinking ensues. We thought that it would be cool to give everyone a taste of what it's like to go to The Shed. Enjoy!

Play It Up Podcast Episode 34 - Arcades Achievements and Arachnids

In the latest episode, the guys catch up for a chat and discuss what everyone has been up to recently.


Den takes us through where he is at with the 4 different projects he has in the works and a small repair on a Grail PCB pickup for Neil.

Mike discusses his earphones still working by a single strand of wire (haha), the games he’s been playing lately, failed PS2 Memory cards, Tetris, Command and Conquer : Red Alert and takes us through the upcoming events in the Brisbane Arcade Scene!

Neil discusses his recent headway in one of the Toughest and well-known games in the world (Hint: it’s Donkey Kong :D ).


With a lightning quick appearance from Shauno to take the guys through his latest pickups and upcoming repair job (a Nintendo DSi), plus a guest appearance from the local wildlife living in Den’s Garage and his recent brush with a huge Diamond Python – this episode is full of all the usual fun, banter and surprises! 


Thank you to all our listeners for tuning in! We hope you enjoy.


On behalf of the Play It Up Podcast, Neil, Mike, Shauno and Den send their condolences to the family, friends and wider Donkey Kong community over the recent loss of Jeff “JC” Harrist, founder of donkeykongforum.com.


Thank you, Jeff, for creating the basis for the active, friendly and supportive community around Donkey Kong games which we all know and enjoy being a part of today. We wish we had the opportunity to get to know you, and we greatly appreciate all of your time and work that went into DKF.

We chat about Jack's history with gaming, his love of World of Warcraft and Minecraft, our experiences playing Metal Gear Solid which was the most recent game featured in our little video game club where we all play a game that has been voted for and then get together to discuss it (this meeting just so happened to only have Shaun, Mike, Dennis and Jack so we made it into a podcast - why not!).

Play It Up Podcast Episode 27 - Michael Trier From The Shed

Play It Up Podcast Episode 27 - Michael Trier From The Shed

The Shed in Denmark has a mythical air about it amongst retro and arcade gamers. It sounds almost too good to be true. A shed that is full of arcade cabinets that some awesome fella opens up a few times every year to anyone lucky enough to get an invite? A magical place where many world record players attend and where many world records have been achieved? Great beer and even a pool? Yep, that's right, The Shed has it all....and that awesome fella? He is none other than Michael Trier. Shaun was lucky enough to visit the shed recently and spend 3 nights in gaming heaven. Shaun was also lucky enough to interview the man behind the madness to find out more about Michael and how The Shed became what it is today. Here it is! Enjoy! 

One of the topics we discuss was Michael's involvement in a recently released Documentary - Kim Kanonarm and the Arcade Quest (Kim Kanonarm Og Rejsen Mod Verdensrekorden - In Danish) which is the story of how one of The Shed regulars and arcade gaming legend, Kim Kanonarm, attempts to break the Gyruss World Record with the help of his friends: Michael Trier, Michael Dyst, Carsten Lauridsen, Svavar Gunnarson, Emil Gotfredsen, Rasmus Madsen and more. 

You can buy a signed or non-signed copy from a friend of The Shed Mads Jacobsen's store here: https://www.nintendopusheren.dk/vare-kategori/kim-kanonarm-dvd/ (shipping is currently only available to Europe and Australia)  

You can also buy it here: https://www.gucca.dk/kim-kanonarm-og-rejsen-mod-verdensrekorden-dvd-p537564.

Play It Up Podcast Episode 23 - Kongversations Series - Shaun Ruhland

Play It Up Podcast Episode 23 - Kongversations Series - Shaun Ruhland

In this series of episodes from the Play It Up Podcast called 'Kongversations' we will be having chats with some prominent players in the Donkey Kong scene in Australia. We are talking original arcade Donkey Kong.

In this episode, Neil and Dennis chat with Shaun Ruhland. Shaun is usually a co-host of the Play It Up Podcast but in this crazy twist of an episode, he is interviewed by his fellow co-hosts! Shaun made the top 16 at Australian Kong Off 2 and managed to make it to the quarter-finals of Australian Kong Off 3. Since he has buggered off to Germany he couldn't make the recent Kong Off 4 but at least he got to have this chat about the old angry monkey in the lead up to that event.

Play It Up Podcast Episode 10 - Brisbane Bash Fighting Game Tournament Recap Part 2 and Mike, Shaun and Neil catch up

In this episode the boys talk about Shaun’s recent trip to Italy which featured a visit to an absolutely amazing video game store (Power Games - Website: power-games.it) where he got some sweet pickups, Super Mario 35, Donkey Kong Kong League Head to Head World Championships, Mike playing his Mega Drive and buying a Mega Drive game from bikies in Perth! Also featured is an update from Neil on his quest for the Ghosts ‘n Goblins world record and his stay in an AirBnB that used to be a church where he fought Satan! Gunstar Heroes and Mike’s Gran Turismo License Gold Medals quest are also discussed.

Following that, we have part 2 of the Brisbane Bash recap chat that Mike did with some of the guys from the fighting game scene in Australia including. The Brisbane Bash is a fighting game tournament that took place in July 2020. It is focused on the amazing games made by Netherrealm studios, mainly Mortal Kombat, and includes the retro and modern installments. This part showcases some of the players who played and ranked highly on the day in Mortal Kombat 11 and Injustice Gods Among Us. They chat with Mike about character selection, strategies, a bit of history and all other bits & pieces. Chats were had with Darren Payne, Clinton Munck, Dwightwolf, and Duncan Trent. HUGE thanks to these guys for allowing us to be a part of the event and for giving us their time and wisdom on fighting games!
