OH!CAST at OH!CON 2024 Nerd continues the quest. We are settling the greatest nerd debates of all time. Consequently, this is Part 2 of the interviews. This section dives deep into retro gaming, horror, and Star Trek lore.
The Quest to Settle the OH!CON 2024 Nerd Debates
Welcome back to OH!CON 2024! The OH!CAST team has a massive goal. We are determined to settle the biggest nerd debates that have been raging for decades. This is the definitive second part of our quest. For instance, we will find final answers on questions like Freddy or Jason and who truly wins the retro console war. This entire project is designed to bring unity to the nerd community.
Retro Gaming Wars: Sega vs. Nintendo
We first dive into retro gaming history. John, an OH!CON stalwart, returns to the mic. He shares his deep love for the Mega Drive and Sonic 3. He is especially impressive because he knew Michael Jackson helped compose the music. Furthermore, the Sega vs. Nintendo debate still rages on! Many attendees are split on the best console. We also explore the near-impossibility of finishing the classic Game Gear title, Echo. Therefore, we crown the toughest retro game ever. The game’s battery life was simply too short for its length, making completion a massive challenge.
Sci-Fi and Horror Showdowns
Next, we tackle classic horror and sci-fi showdowns. For instance, who ultimately wins: Freddy or Jason? We also pose a very specific Star Trek question. Who wins if Captain Picard and James T. Kirk wrestle to the death in lukewarm porridge? We concluded that Picard is the victor. Why? Because he is British, and therefore, he fights better in porridge than an American could ever manage. Similarly, many noted his lack of hair would make him extra slippery in the porridge combat! These are, after all, the important questions.
The Ultimate Dance-Off Conclusion
Finally, we settle the iconic Robocop and Terminator dance-off! Robocop ultimately wins this round. His winning move? He throws down the classic robot dance. The unexpected soundtrack? Surprisingly, it is the classic Pokémon theme song. This result provides a fun resolution to one of the biggest OH!CON 2024 nerd debates.
So, with this second set of OH!CON 2024 nerd debates officially closed, we’ve compiled a fascinating set of definitive answers. Look for more OH!CAST content soon! We hope these two parts finally bring peace to the galaxy.

I’m just enjoying the interest that it’s generating and a lot of people who have probably seen these in the distance in the past, lot of the hobbies that have been on display and also people find out there’s other people up on the island that actually share the same interests as them and that. Wonderful, wonderful.
There’s a lot of problems in the nerd community with endless debates and people arguing with one another so we thought we’d just carry it on here a bit more. But we’re going to settle these questions once and for all now. We’re going to answer these things and that’ll be It’ll be definitive. And peace will reign throughout the galaxy. Are you ready to help out? Okay. Okay. First question. Marvel or DC? DC. Sega or Nintendo? Sega. Favorite Sega console? Mega Drive.
Beautiful. Do you have a game in particular that you like on the Mega Drive? And why is it Sonic the Hedgehog? You read my mind there. Sonic 3?
because it’s the first game I ever bought with my own money. Nice. And actually we had someone else talk about Sonic 3 earlier and very impressive. was a young person and they knew who had helped compose the music to Sonic 3. Do you know this factoid? Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson, yes. Marvellous. Now, next important question. Freddy or Jason?

Oh, Alien, because it’s got more horror to it than the Aliens did. The Aliens is action film. As I know about you, John, who’s the best Doctor? The best Doctor has to be the… Third, I feel. It reminds me my friend Dave. Years back, we were in a club in Birmingham called Snobz, which despite its name, really wasn’t that classy. And he’d had several vodka Red Bulls and sat next to this lass that he was trying to chat up. And he just took one look at her and went…
Who’s your favourite time lord? Right, final question, are you ready? Okay, RoboCop and Terminator get into a dance off. Who’s gonna win? The Terminator. And what moves is he throwing down? The robot. The robot. Thank you so much, John.

Do you have one that you like in particular? like the Dreamcast because it just represents Sega’s sort of ethos of just pushing boundaries even if it doesn’t work, even if they burn up in the process. Yeah, and I mean let’s face it, it was the Dreamcast that killed Sega as a games console. Well, it set the groundwork for consoles to come. I mean the Xbox is an evolution of the Dreamcast, let’s face it. Okay.
Do you have a particular Sega game that you like? Sonic Adventure 1. Sonic Adventure 1. On the GameCube? I say yes with a big asterisk because there’s the the director’s cut version which is horrendous to play. if you get the original Dreamcast version or if you get it on PC and you can mod it to restore to its Dreamcast functionality then it’s a fantastic game.
OH!CAST (05:26.114)
Okay, the most important question we’re asking today Robocop and the Terminator get into a dance-off who’s going to
Can I please defer? No, I’m afraid this is the most important question you’re ever going to be asked ever. You have to answer. Are you sure it’s not going to be a dance off and not a shootout? No, no. We were starting with a fight and then I realised that’s… Everyone knows that Robocop and Terminator would fight until both of them are in pieces. So the question is, is a competitive dance off and who’s going to
Robocop and what what dance moves is Robocop pulling out? I don’t know dance moves. I don’t dance. I have two left feet. Okay, would there be a particular song that Robocop would be dancing to? All I can think of is Axel F right now. Beautiful, beautiful. Robocop dancing to Axel F by Harold Fultemeier. I love it. Thank you so much, Sean. You’re so welcome. Thank you for arranging this and scheduling this and forewarning me about it. I appreciate that very much.

RoboCop and Terminator get into a dance-off. Who wins and what moves are they pulling? They just pull the same moves because they’re both robots. Yeah, but what moves, what dance are they doing and who would win? That’s definitely got to be the robot.
and they wouldn’t be a winner, they’d just copy each other constantly. would be a really dull dance-off. It wouldn’t really be a dance-off. It be more like synchronised dancing. Okay, that could be beautiful. I like that. Okay, thank you so much, Will.

Robocop and Terminator get into a dance-off. Who’s gonna win and what moves are they doing? I don’t know any dance moves.

We’re recording for OCAST, the OCOM podcast and we’re going around asking people the important questions that need to be answered in nerd culture. Are you ready? Yeah, absolutely.
earth shattering events on world domain? Well, basically we are sick of all the arguments in nerddom, know, and people bickering constantly, so we’ve decided to ask exactly the same questions, but the answers we get here, Callum is going to compile them, we will end up with a definitive answer, and that’s it. We will bring peace to the universe that way. We’re to attempt the same process with the Middle East peace. Okay, ready for this?
Terminator or Terminator 2? Terminator Marvel or DC? Marvel Sonic or Mario? Neither I’m afraid you have to choose Right, right, Sonic then Star Wars or Star Trek? Star Wars What’s your favourite Star Wars film and why is it The Empire Strikes Back? Just because it’s the base one
Alien or aliens? That’s really hard. No, it’s actually quite easy. It’s a lot easier than you think. No, no, it’s… They’re so… Okay, okay. You pushed me. Alien… Yes, that is correct. That’s a really hard one. It is, is. In fairness, it is a tough one. Freddy or Jason? Freddy or Jason?
Freddy, Freddy, yeah, yeah. Okay. Do you like Star Trek? A wee bit. Okay. Jean-Luc Picard, Captain Kirk. Jean-Luc. No, I didn’t finish the question. I’m in a children’s paddling pool full of porridge, wrestling. Who’s gonna win? I think we miss a Kirk, but, Captain Kirk, but…
OH!CAST (16:37.006)
think Jean-Luc would lose with a great deal of style. Yeah, I can see it. And then he’d get points for that and that would make him the winner. I have to say though, think if you’re looking at kind of Porridge wrestling, Jean-Luc Picard’s alopecia would probably be an asset. He’d slip through the Porridge-y, Oat-y goodness a lot quicker. Right, final question. Robocop and Terminator get into a dance-off. Who’s going to win and what moves are they doing?
Well, I think Robocop’s got sort of Scottish ancestry, so I think he’d be really good at any Highland dancing. Beautiful, beautiful. Alex Murphy, sword dancing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you so much. That could be the film in itself. Brilliant, cheers.

And the problem is once you start visualising it there’s no shaking that image from your mind. Okay, Marvel or DC? Marvel has… I prefer Marvel because it has good comics and good… and MCU. But DC has…
good comics and pretty terrible films. Absolutely despicable films, yeah. They really need to up their game. Okay, marvellous. You like Star Wars? Yeah. What’s your favourite Star Wars film and why is it The Empire Strikes Back?
OH!CAST (21:49.766)
It’s Strikes Back isn’t it? I’m not sure. like watching the original trilogy when I’m in the mood. But when I just want to watch Star Wars in the morning I just go with Revenge of the Sith. then go. Okay, alright. Now, most important question we’re asking people. Okay, this is a tough one.
Robocop and the Terminator are in a dance-off. Who’s going to win and what moves are they throwing down?
TURN IN T800. Okay. And what moves is the T800 doing? I don’t know, he just shoots Robocop in the face. No, no, it’s a dance off. There’s no weapons allowed. I had absolutely no idea. What piece of music would they be grooving to?

You don’t see Picard getting out of that one? No. Some people think that maybe Picard with his lack of hair would be extra slippery in the porridge wrestling match, but this is a question that has stumped a lot of people. But it’s one that needs answering. Okay.
OH!CAST (24:54.252)
Callum, another question.

Okay, now, most people are going with that they’re doing robot dancing, but the question is, what would be the soundtrack to this epic dance battle?
It’s a tough one. It’s a tough one. But it’s a question that needs answering. It does. I’m thinking some major synth wave and some proper 80s… Do know someone earlier said Axl F by Harold Faltemeier?

We’re doing a bit of a survey for OCAST. We’re fed up of the friction and arguments in the nerd community and we’ve decided, it’s the same old questions getting asked all the time, so we’ve decided to ask the same old questions to everyone, but this time we’re going to collate the answers, well I say we, Callum’s going to do it. Callum’s going to spend hours sifting through this material, collate all the answers and we’re going to finally come to the conclusion there’ll be no more…
No more arguments. right. So you’re going to ask me the questions? We’re going ask questions, you’re going to take part in this and we will bring peace and unity to the nerd community. How does that sound? Yeah. Okay, right, are you ready? Alien or aliens? Alien.

I’ve only just realised I’m part of a neurodivergent community, so this is really liberating. That’s marvellous. Do you have an answer for the Robocop or Terminator dance-off?
Yeah, okay, well you need your quantitative data, so I’ll say Terminator. Terminator. And what do you think would be the best music for them to have a dance off to? Rapper’s Delight. Rapper’s Delight, what a great answer. Thank you so much, Charlie.

OH!CAST (39:56.75)
I’ve got a feeling. Thank you so much. Hello, Master Yoda this is. Subscribe to Ohcast, must. Subscribe, you do not. Join the dark side, you will.
OH!CAST (40:19.808)
Alright, it is recording. Yeah, it is. It is the fourth strongest weapon in Star Trek. Okay, is it good? Pick it up. Yep, there it is. Martin, Martin, are a long time member of the fellowship. So this is your third con. How are you finding Ocon 2024? Awesome. Enter Galactic.
Gotta point out something right now. You’re wearing a red shirt and you’re eating some egg mayonnaise sandwiches. This can only go to So Martin, just to fill you in on what Callum and I have been doing today. For OCAST, we decided we’re fed up of all the arguments, the nitpicking, the fractiousness in the nerd community. All these same old nerd questions getting asked again and again.
and we’re tired of them. So what we’ve decided to do is to ask the same old nerd questions again and again, but this time it’s going to be definitive. This time, Callum is going to sift through the hours of data we’re gathering today and he’s going to come to a, he’s going to edit it all together and we will be able to come to a definitive conclusion about,
I hope you it was good. I’m not sure. I know. Okay, so here you are. for the first question? When you said it was going to be definitive, thought my answer would be the one that would count. No, it’s going to go into a pool of several thousand other answers. Right, are you ready? Yeah, go on. Okay, alien or aliens? Alien.
It’s classic. Terminator. It was the first, you know, the tension. The special effects, you can’t deny the special effects, but it had the tension. They knew how to do it. Terminator, Terminator 2. Terminator. Again, I remember seeing it first time in the Grosvenor cinema in the Ashton Lane, Fires Road, originally, before it was hyped and thinking, this is awesome. Brilliant. OK, Martin, you’re a Star Trek fan. I am. OK, so this is the Star Trek themed question.
OH!CAST (42:25.292)
Captain Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard in a children’s paddling pool full of porridge wrestling to the death. wins? It has to be Captain Kirk. He took it on a gaurd by himself. And the days before, anybody knew how fearsome they were. Beautiful. mean, he did it himself. And that’s a mental image that, by the way, you will never shake. That is implanted. I’m going to sing the birdie song to you in your least expectation.
Okay, next question. Nintendo or Sega? Atari. Atari. Nice. Okay, what Atari are we talking about? I don’t know, I’m just bluffing it now. I just thought I’d throw a cat in the pigeons there. All right.
Freddie or Jason? I’m gonna be honest because it’s the best way forward. I’m not a big slasher or hoarder. Honesty is good policy. Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter? Probably Lord of the Rings. Yeah, that’s the adult answer. Harry Potter I would recommend for the younger viewers probably. Yeah, okay. So…
One of the questions that’s really been stumping people today and it’s probably our most important question we’re asking Robocop and Terminator getting to a dance off, who’s going to win? think Terminator can learn some almost natural motion. What dance moves would the Terminator be throwing do you think Martin? Well, Terminator can ride a motorbike, he can do it on a motorbike to get on it even though he looks a bit stoogey when he’s walking the rest of the time. I think he would do some moves. Robocop can only
90 degrees. Thank you much. and what music? What would the soundtrack to this dance-off be? I think Magic Flies piece. beautiful tune! Put it there! There we go, awesome.
OH!CAST (44:36.79)
Okay, we are here with our awesome compere Dezo Gorman.
How are you finding Ocon 2024? Oh, absolutely fantastic. The love and enjoyment that’s at this con is amazing. You can really tell that it’s a con done with a lot of love and affection for every franchise that is out there. It’s really coming across and it’s marvelous fun. Shame the weather is sucky, but we can’t always have everything we want. This is actually probably the best weather we’ve had in Stonewall. That’s the end of the lot right there. I think I saw a cow flying by and you were saying that’s what we did. That’s
So as you’ve heard we’re going around we’re asking the important nerd questions to come to the definitive answers what we’re trying to do really is to solve these Thorny issues in the nerd community once and for all and once it’s done. We’ve essentially unified people We brought peace to the galaxy that it really is that all that needs to do If we just find out who shot first how no agree exactly, you know what we’re actually shipping off to the Middle East
Peace process, let’s- Why do I imagine you’re immediately gonna land, run out and just go, DEATH SCARE US THE ANSWERS YOU CAN STOP FIGHTING NOW! this is, this is, uh, this is it. So, are you ready? I am, I am- Okay. There we go, okay, I’m ready. Um, Pokemon. Okay. Or Yu-Gi-Oh. Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh.

It was just the only thing showing that day and I was bored.
OH!CAST (46:34.096)
worth the trip? Was it worth the praise for admission? Not really. Well they did have Fatboy Slim on the soundtrack which I remember is the only thing I remember about it. I tell you if you go and see a movie that does not have Fatboy Slim on it you’re watching a movie that came out after 1998. Yeah so okay next important question. I’m assuming that you are a Star Wars fan so what’s your favorite Star Wars movie and why is it The Empire Strikes Back?
Kisses
My
fault of the Jedi for not heeding the warning of the Sith being in the Council in time to steer Anakin. There is a lot in there. And by the way, the Anakin Obi-Wan fight with that John Williams score, priceless, beautiful. It’s pretty good. It’s pretty good. Okay. That is a good justification for the wrong choice, but it’s fine. It’s fine. We’ll let it go. I love the way that you were like, yeah, we’re going to put these questions to rest and they bring peace to the world. And I answer a question, you’re immediately like,
No, you’re wrong! dare you suggest these You know this is how it works in Nerd and… Right, okay, Sega or Nintendo? Sega or Nintendo? PlayStation. PlayStation? A particular PlayStation? PS1. PS1, It was the first console that… Well, no, my first console was a Mega Drive, but my first proper console was the original PS1, and it was the console that introduced me to the Resident Evil franchise.
OH!CAST (48:34.65)
More importantly to the Metal Gear Solid franchise. it means a lot to me that one. Okay. my god, Siphon Filter Do you remember how he ran? The animation for his running was so I remember that but the one thing I will always take away from Siphon Filter is that yeah, you can have every weapon under the sun but if you taser someone and hold it down long enough this person will burst into flames and will scream in agony for as long as you are
holding that fire button. They could be there for 10 minutes and you could just stand there no matter what distance it was. was bonkers but yet also awesome. that was a nice one, Calum. Aside from Phil, it’s a good challenge. Right. Are you ready for the next tough question? yeah, bring it on. Okay, Mario and Sonic enter a competitive eating contest. Who wins? No, Yoshi. No, no, it’s Mario or No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
other things before her the one thing Yoshi is known for is eating and giving Mario an extra jump while he plummets to his death yes but it has to be either Mario or Sonic yeah that’s where you’re that goes the I don’t make the rules okay let me me narrow down the the parameter so it’s Mario and Sonic in a competitive eating contest what are the eating well that’s up to you no it’s not
Because if it’s spaghetti, it’s Mario. If it’s chilli dogs, it’s Sonic. You have to lay down the parameters of your question. You’ve thrown this to me. What are they eating? Black pudding. A black pudding stack. Black pudding eating contest. I’m gonna have to give this one to Mario for that one. Mario. Okay. Good stuff. Do you like Star Wars? No, sorry, I’ve asked the scholars. Do you like Star Trek?
Okay, this is one that’s thrown a couple of people Captain Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard in a children’s paddling pool full of porridge wrestling to the death who wins First of all before I ask this question. Are you all right? Yeah fine fine sure these are just the questions that people have been asking for a long time They’re important in You’re seriously telling me that in day to day life somebody’s running up to you and just going Jean-Luc Picard, Kirk. Yeah, they’re fighting in a children’s paddling pool of porridge. just This is rude
OH!CAST (51:02.634)
my day you you’re the first person to actually challenge that question so congratulations nobody else has challenged this one serious it’s a particularly brilliant question because you know most people I think it is it’s getting to the heart of the issue and it’s really what Star Trek is all about
Let’s get back to it. They’re wrestling away. What is the consistency of the power of That is… ooh, that’s good point. I’m gonna say… Stodgy or milky? No, no, it’s not… it’s not your kind of traditional, really Scottish, you know, grain or whiskey. We’re talking about… Let’s go for readybreck. Oh, jeez! Come on! They’re in a paddling pool of readybrecks? You know what? If they’re wrestling in a paddling pool…
of ready breaking who wins the paddling pool that’s who wins that was that is shocking that is beautiful that is terrible i think i know the next star trek film that they should make anyhow so um you can find it on your local website www.now i’m not going down that route no no that’s not do we have an answer for that one i’ve got an image of how it starts master shas open card he just suggestively licks the ready broken
OH!CAST (52:32.304)
Captain’s probably waiting for to Which, are they both in their prime or are we talking like later? Sorry, now we’re bringing two old men wrestling in Ready Brek. Oh yes, that makes it weird! Oh, I’m sorry! Did I make this question super awkward for you now as two geriatrics go at it in a paddling pool of Ready Brek? Yeah! Alright, oh god. if one of them has to win…
Let’s go with Picard. Beautiful. That’s why I asked. I think in that situation nobody wins. wins. Not even basic morality. Meet me in the Ready Break room. Computers, start a Ready Break simulation. We’ve got one more question. One more? One more. This is one that, again, I think is an important one. Robocop and Terminator have a dance-off. Who wins? What are their moves?
and what’s the soundtrack? Again, this is a tough one. I’m going to have go with Terminator because he has a lot more fluid mobility compared to Robocop. I think what moves? Yeah, so like what sort of dance moves with his fluid mobility? Oh, you just give him a cardboard box and he is popping and locking all over that. Maybe he throws a worm out there. Why not? You imagine Arnie
That’s my Arnie impression by the beautiful. And what would the soundtrack be? Oh, the music from Techno R. It has to be. You know that song when the Terminator first sees Sarah Connor in like this weird, the love of my life has locked eyes with me and has pulled out a 45 magnum. And so he’s just there and just like Sarah Connor and he’s worming towards her. Sarah Connor, what is best in life?
OH!CAST (54:55.64)
I think that is possibly the best mental image we can end with. Thank you so
The question is fine, everyone’s down with that. Nobody has an appetite for ready brick. Did I mention it’s lukewarm as well? god! No, in which case then I will retract my answer and I’m gonna say that it is… pike. That wins that one. As he’s off the side eating his properly warmed ready brick just going mmm yes yes.
you find young gentlemen. I don’t know where I was going with that, but it was wrong. Marvellous. Thank you so much, Des. No problem.
