I arrive on the playground every day carrying my tomes of Prima Strategy Guides and printouts from GameFaqs. I sit atop the slide like a mad king as peasants bring their GameBoy Colors and crowd around the rungs, eager to climb up and allow me to bless them with my wisdom. I tell them "Nay, you must climb the slide to speak to me. The ladder's rungs are for I alone to climb." They only make it hal...

It is 198X and Mountain Dew drips from every surface, clinging like a parasite to its host. It is a green haze that looms wide over this city, and citizens cover their mouths with masks to filter the Dew from the clean air trapped underneath its disgusting weight. This is the future Caustic always dreamed of, growing up. It is what he has been working towards. This is his twisted utopia, his 80s S...

Have you ever felt like you weren't yourself? You look in the mirror and the passage of time has presented you with a face that feels like an Other? Maybe it's what's inside that's different. Maybe the things you've experienced have changed you. Maybe you've become 300 crabs inhabiting the corporeal form of Captain Jack Sparrow. It happens to everyone, eventually. Games Discussed: Apex Legends, An...

After calamity struck the citizens of Xanthia found themselves frozen in time, statues of flesh and blood strewn about the citadel and the marketplace and the homes and the stables. Outside the walls of the Great City, denizens of the countryside found their lives mostly unchanged, save for a harsh and ominous wind that brought with it the same recurring nightmares. Each morning the farmers would...

Glydon Gould Vanderbilt (May 26, 1794 - November 3, 1889) was a titan of the industrial age, paving the way for the implementation of a rail system that could connect all of the various kingdoms together. This was, of course, one of the first known monopolies of the Mushroom Kingdom.  Glydon, though seemingly impervious to government intervention, found his empire crumble around him as the railroa...

Yeah man, my new robot is rad. Its name is Wuumo and it spends all day making vaporwave art for Instagram. I was wondering why I'd want a robot that makes art, but then I realized if I let it grow a social media account to have some kind of huge following, I can start to make brand deals with like Fiji Water and stuff. Wuumo is gonna pay for itself with this vaporwave stuff. Wait, what do you mean...

Jens Kreuger bought the house near Pallet town in the autumn of his 28th year. Over the next decade, he and his wife had a litter of pups and then they separated.

In terms of your personal life, you need time alone today, dear Glover. The Hermit and the Hanged Man between them create a heavy atmosphere, but you could turn it to your advantage if you’re prepared to put yourself under scrutiny. You can’t escape the looking-glass: you might not like the reflection you see, but you need to take a good look in order to understand the faults you must correct and...

Behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with Toad seated on the throne. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

I prefer the stillness here, underground. I am tired of the town. These citizens. I'm tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives. They claim their labors are to build extra rooms in their homes, yet their homes are filled with horrors. Perhaps "home" is not built. Perhaps nothing is built. It's too late to reset. Games discussed: SoulCalibur 6, Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost, Dark Souls...

Long long ago, a great many people called home a beautiful land of rolling hills and glorious sunrises. For generations they found only contentment, with food and wealth aplenty so long as they kept hidden a great power. One day, a man born of sunsets broke his sacred oath and sought the power for himself. He travelled the wilds throughout his unholy quest, and those who met him assumed nothing of...

He's been gone for what seems like a lifetime. You notice it in the fleeting moments, when you hear a joke you think he'd have liked, when you see a great deal on a new vacuum. We'd devoted an entire year to his very existence, celebrating his every breath and parading his visage around to all who'd gaze upon it. Even so, the world crumbled beneath our feet. The economy turned sour, and our year o...

The new generation is here, and what approaches is the decision that defines every Pokémon trainer--which version will you buy? Gone are chromatic palettes, precious stones, life and death --- the ultimate duality, champ-in-making, is right in your closet. Denim Version. Or Khaki Version.
