Brian talks about how he built his Man Cave without shelling out a lot of money… he also shows off some of his Atari and Transformers toys collection.

I keep wondering to myself “What is classified as Retro when it comes to gaming?”, its a term we use quite a bit but seem to have a hard time trying to define it.
