"The American Mega Drive" or "The Origin of Genesis"

The why and how of Sega's 16-bit system having two names. (Chapter markers and more below...)

The following video is a RE-UPLOAD of the original episode, aired on July 2, 2021. The reason for re-uploading is that the original file was somehow corrupted by YouTube's processing system, resulting in the video cutting off at the 10 minute mark. Despite trying to fix the problem multiple times, nothing worked. The video is exactly the same as before, but if you saw it the first time around, try to still look surprised.

Episode Information
GTV 111 "The American Mega Drive" or "The Origin of Genesis" Season 6 Episode 7

Recorded at Butsudan Studios and edited on my 15" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, which was starting to show signs of age, though rock-solid.
