Some intellectual properties are like PFAS. Once introduced to the environment, they will never go away, just sitting and warping whatever they touch. The Hannah-Barbera archives are a superfund site of these, and no property has stuck around like Scooby-Doo. Night of 100 Frights has the distinction of being a very faithfully created 3D version of something that wasn’t great in the first place, at...

The Ripper strikes again! This time, it’s an unlucky someone down at the National Transportation Safety Board warehouse with a chest cavity full of soup. The problem is, there are no witnesses. At least, there are no corporeal witnesses.

Someone call Powerman 5000 because we’ve found out what it’s like when worlds collide. Following a cartoonish affair last episode, Jimmy’s plot and the cartel plot run straight into each other as Lalo reaches out to Jimmy to help clean up the mess with Krazy-8’s arrest.

We’re running out of Fallout games to cover! Which means we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel to bring you a close look at the memory-holed PS2 and XBox entry into the series: Brotherhood of Steel. It’s a Dark Alliance-like that demonstrates that one of those can actually be a lot worse than the others, and it’s all made worse by how poorly it handles the Fallout setting. Highlighted project: E...

Searched the name, no obit.

They made a fun Pong game for the PlayStation. ANYWAY, did you know that we both got Covid-19 in Las Vegas? Let’s rank the symptoms!

What harm could deep deep discounts cause? There’s no way they could set off a chain reaction that leads directly or indirectly to the creation of a Heisenberg, right?

Uh oh! Both Gary and Kaye have COVID! So please forgive our voices and our absolute flightiness as we answer your questions, read your responses to Ogre Battle 64 and Dispatch, and talk about what makes an inventory system good or bad.

Everything To Jean Anouilh.

DJ Boy is a beat-em-up on roller skates. Roller blades? No, skates. The most hip-hop conveyance imaginable. That’s because this is a game steeped in a very removed Japanese understanding of US hip hop culture, which comes with some extremely uncomfortable racial depictions. Also, it’s time to hear about Kaye’s dental woes instead of Gary’s!

Pike’s Place is a famous tourist trap in real life, but in Shadowrun… it’s also a tourist trap. But there are also active murder scene investigations, VR drug dens, and some leads on the people who might know what happened to our friend Sam. Also Discussed: The Neo Anarchist’s Guide: Simlink technology and BTLs. Paranormal Animals of North America: Hellhounds Under the Hood: Cover Thank you to Dar...

Season five begins with the (legal) creation of Saul Goodman, an alter ego Jimmy creates for his new law practice that lets him finally step out of his brother’s shadow. But Kim isn’t very happy with this, or Jimmy’s more brazen scheming. Meanwhile, Gus and Mike deal with the aftermath of Werner Ziegler’s escape, and Lalo’s new suspicion about their plans.

I like candy.

Balan Wonderworld is so infamous that sometimes you wonder if it could actually ever be that bad. Chat, it’s very bad. It ranks right behind chronically mistreating his workers on the list of worst things Yuji Naka has ever done. It’s so bad that we remain on topic for the whole episode.

Hey everyone! It’s Jake Armitage! From the cult hit Super Nintendo game Shadowrun. And he’s taking us to the Redmond Barrens. We must be real shadowrunners now. Also Discussed: The Neo Anarchist’s Guide: The Halloweeners ShadowTalk: Jake Armitage and fanservice

In this episode we say auf wiedersehen to season 4 by talking about the scant special features and deleted scenes on the DVDs, and we read your responses.

This week we continue our discussion of Ogre Battle 64, a sprawling and mysterious strategy game that eventually sheds the need for using strategy all together. It’s also a story of revolution that stops being about a revolution partway through. This leaves us in the frustrating position of wanting to like it more than we actually do. Thanks again Will for executive producing this! Our highlighted...

I just want to acknowledge that Gary says "Cuck Finn" at one point during this episode and I talked over it and it was very funny.

Portal didn’t invent the story about the banal cruelty of corporate super science, but it sure did it better than Whiplash. You play a weasel who has a rabbit chained to you, hopping and bopping to try to escape from a laboratory. And while it promises sweet grappling hook action, all it delivers is disappointment. We also talk about Gary’s evolving battle with, and respect for, the Tree of Heaven...

This week we begin Dead Man’s Switch, the first of the three Shadowrun Returns games. Our runner is at the end of their rope, penniless and without any leads on jobs. Then they get a pre-recorded phone call from a deceased former colleague, promising a life-changing sum of money if they can solve the murder mystery. So, we suit up and head to SeaTac. Also Discussed: Essence in Shadowrun What it me...

Whether or not Jimmy actually misses Chuck, or feels bad about what happened between them, is all up for debate. What’s not up for debate is that Jimmy has to put on a big sad smile and stage the biggest display of grief ever. And speaking of grief: we lose Werner Ziegler too soon.
