Hello all, Every once in a while we like to make a big post like this to announce some changes. 2024 marked our ten year anniversary of funding ourselves through Patreon, and over that time we’ve increased the amount of content we put out each month. This year’s changes are going to be about refocusing, reining things in a bit, and making sure we’re putting our energy where it does the most good....

Time to hack some side-quests and tech some gigs. We do a TON of hanging out with Johnny Silverhand and decide our fate. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

Reign of Fire is the kind of movie you can’t make anymore, and that’s a good thing. It’s the perfect storm of post-9/11 militarism, and post-Lord of the Rings fantasy bandwagon chasing, with a pre-Batman Christian Bale and a pre-McConaughssaince Matthew McConnaughey. While a game about shooting dragons with guns should have a pretty high entertainment floor, this one absolutely biffs it by making...

We do one monster, and by "we" I mean Will and SPECIAL GUEST SUBSTITUTE GWEN STATIC!!!!

Bubble Bobble is elemental! How could you screw it up? Well, they found a way. Bubble Bobble Revolution isn’t just bad because it’s nonfunctional… even if you could get past level 30, it would still be an ugly game that feels bad in your hands. But there isn’t much to say beyond that, so enjoy a meandering talk about what the existence of the Costco Guys says about our chances of the world getting...

In this episode we recommend some BG3 Youtubers in The Role of Computers.

You’d never guess it, but there’s still more Shadow Keep left to explore. Approaching from the Bonny Village side gets you into the flooded Church District, an area that calls New Londo to mind. But what lies beneath the water is stranger and more mysterious than the Darkwraiths.

Kole, Dennis, and Moxie talk about the games we played for Duckstream, Withering Rooms, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and much more! The Grind: Kole: Resident Evil 2 Remake. Resident Evil 2: Kendo’s Cut. Human Fall Flat. PIKO PARK 2. Moxie: Withering Rooms. Dennis: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. RoboQuest. The Multiplayer: Propose a new category of video game award. The End Boss: NB...

Two monsters, despite recording right after Duckstream! Heroes, heroes, heroes.

With a name like The Brainies, you know Gary brought this game to the show. He’s been on a tireless search for new Zoombinis, new Babos, new Creatures… any annoying little guy to dunk on. The problem is, the Brainies don’t got the sauce. And they might be kinda racist?

This week we head on down to Bonny Village, which doesn’t seem so bonny to us. Instead, it was the beating heart of the hornsent’s jar-making operation. This is where the shamans, Marika’s people, were butchered and put into jars in order to make them into “saints”. Eventually they wish they didn’t do that.

Breaking Bad goes intercontinental, and our hero is definitely a gross villain now, just in time for Lydia to join the party. We would like to thank Gwen Static for composing our theme song, and Trent Peters for creating our great podcast art.

In this episode we take a walk in the park and see some fireworks. Other Segments: Alternate Realities: Early Access Legends and Lore: Society of Brilliance Fiend Folio: Sahugagin Find Familiar: Sparky

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and Moxie talk about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, Fear the Spotlight, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and much more!

Do you have what it takes to survive the streets of Night City? After all was said and done, what kind of game did Cyberpunk 2077 end up being? We loved the Witcher 3 and have been eyeing this one for a while. Come for the aesthetics, stay for the graphics, be astounded by some strange design choices. It's a huge game, so there's plenty to like. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

If you weren’t there, you might not understand that there was a small movement to market the Nintendo DS as a kind of PDA, with utility software being sold as games. This also included self improvement games like Brain Age. Hot on this trend, Ubisoft went all in with a line of “My Coach” games, with none being more baffling than “My Stop Smoking Coach”. It’s admirable to want to help people end a...

We recorded this on Cyber Monday, hence the opening bit. Two monsters!

Poker Night 2 is a perfectly fine concept for a game, featuring beloved characters playing Texas Hold ‘Em after dark. Brock Sampson, Ash Williams, and Sam from Sam & Max are all delightful in their own right and you wouldn’t be blamed for wanting to hear their quips. And then along comes Claptrap.

This week we are joined by Sophie Pilbeam of the Sinclair Lore YouTube Channel. We talk about the world and narrative design of Shadow of the Erdtree, and how well it meshes with the base game. Afterwards, we read your responses about the Cerulean Coast and Shadow Keep areas of the game.

In this episode we meet the Murder Tribunal. Other Segments: Legends and Lore: Serevok Dieties and Demigods: Bhaal Fiend Folio: Hollyphants

In every RPG, you have some shitty friends. What are the best of this shitty friends? If you could only take two to five shitty friends to a desert island to companion you, who would you choose? Really? Quina from FF9? Okay... Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

Saw II: Seen, is a sequel that tries to be bigger, better, and more deadly than its predecessor. It succeeds in two of those. More traps, more victims, surprisingly the same amount of backstory.

2 angry Monsters, 16 characters, and you

We’ve gotten mad at a lot of things on this show. Some of them just, some of them goofy. This might be the maddest we’ve gotten recently, trying to figure out what the Pink Panther’s whole deal is. Why has he been an enduring character? What does he even do? There’s zero information online, but this fucker is everywhere and someone needs to answer for it.
