This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch finally get their act together when they decided to discuss a mid 2000s horror game featuring one of the most influential and important peripherals of all time according to the most prominent video game historians and journalists.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch uncover a fan favorite LucasArts gem that has somehow gone under our radar until right now. We've got a king with a dolt as a son, machine gun turrets, poor destitute villagers, a shark attack gun and a robot Knight. It couldn't be anything other than Armed and Dangerous!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch are back for Season 5! We don’t miss a beat because we discuss a wild game that takes you through a detective story involving Shakespeare, huge invisible insect monsters, murder cults, hell Freezing over, and new dead man psychic powers. If it's not obvious yet, we are talking about Fahrenheit AKA Indigo Prophecy!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch totally swear that this is their last fuck around episode for a minute. This week we are talking about one single episode of the X-Files named "Jose Chung's From Outer Space". We mentioned it in previous episodes so we thought, why not. Let's record an episode where we talk about it. But unlike other PTWs....DR. SYINTIST IS HERE!!!! What are you...

This week we're extending our vacation another week by dropping a special episode where Chump Slap and Poppascotch talk about a videogame movie! It's like what we did when we talked about Weekend at Bernies or Double Dragon the Movie, we both watched it and reflected on the batshit insanity that we witnessed today and way back when. It's a fun episode that will extend our vacation by a week. But i...

In the first part of The Best of 2022 they discuss the entries in the #6, #5, #4, and #3 slots so get on in here and see if your favorite episode made the cut! Yes I recycled this episode description from last year, but it's fine because no one reads these at all.  

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch start their year end roundup discussing the favorite games they all played throughout 2022. It's a more casual laid back environment, so let's all be cool. Sorry if your favorite didn't make our lists... we can't play everything....

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch wrap up their 4th year of podcasting with a banger. Someone this one blew right past us back in 2005 and it's gained a pretty impressive fanbase over the years as the survival horror game that time forgot. Of course we are talking about the mid aughts classic ObsCure!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch talk about an insane cop thriller. It's not like the other tough as nails cops who plays by their own rules and accumulates a huge body count as they tear through depressed areas of the city killing people who had no other economic path forward than to join a gang or decide to become career criminals via some kind of assassin network! No way is t...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch tackle yet another Suda51 game! it involves a kick ass assassin named Travis Touchdown who enters an assassin ass kickin' contest where he either kills all the assassins that are better than him, or he dies trying.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch do discuss another very special banger in this episode but we want to keep it a secret for the most dedicated fans to explore. Ok, I'll give you some hints. First off, we've talked about this game several times before, second, only 1/3 of us have played this and thirdly, it's a game created by one of the most iconic names in the gaming industry!...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch discuss the sort of but not really sequel to an on rails shooter game that we didn't all hate. This one isn't on rails, it's a first person shooter that takes place in Iraq and Nevada chasing down some kind of Alien life force that spawns super soldiers and OctoDogs. If that doesn't sounds awesome enough for you, you've got the wrong podcast. Get...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch speak the body electric with a game that spawned three sequels, yet none of us have ever heard of it before! It's honestly a concept we can really get behind because who wouldn't want to play the video game version of a Disaster Movie? Right?! Then make your Report... Your DISASTER REPORT!!! I'm sorry.  

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch gather round to talk about a vide game adaptation of one of the most ridiculous portrayals of gangs since Rebel without a cause or whatever 50s nonsense comes to mind. I'm sure that's what our audience thinks about. 50s greaser movies with weird clean cut bikers and dudes who liked leather jackets and cars or whatever. But yeah, some see the cool...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch wax a bit nostalgic about a game they spent a lot of time playing back in 2015 for like two years because obsessions are real problems and you just don't understand because games back then were totally different than now; they didn't yet know how to lock you in with seasons and events and- you know what. No. I'm not giving it anymore of my energy...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch dip their toes into a long and storied video game franchise for the second time with a game that was hastily put together as fast as they could and jammed into the cannon of a great trilogy as to completely overwhelmed their customers with franchise fatigue! Is it an Assassin's Creed game?  No. Is it a Far Cry Game? No... you aren't going to get...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch celebrate the last week of spooky season with the sequel to the game that we talked about last year. When I think of Halloween, I always think of Saw because like, 12 years ago these movies would come out every year for Halloween and as much as it pains me to celebrate marketing, it really wasn't Halloween without Saw! Come in and listen to us ta...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch get super duper spooky for the Halloween season when they talk about one of the most intense high steaks freak out gore fests with the only video game made by the residents of a haunted insane asylum!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch finally come around to a franchise that includes a billion characters including a talking bear, a helpful Mole, a made up bird species, an evil witch, a shit talking good witch, and a ton of anthropomorphic animals that have all had enough of the evil with. Obviously it's Banjo Kazooie time!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch gather round the campfire to talk about a game that was forged from the bones of the Half Life series that wanted to answer the question of "Should our game star an edgy teen who can't imagine being happy in life as someone who is differently able?" The question that no one asked is answered in Cry of Fear.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch sit down at the table to talk about a throwback to the Panasonic 3DO days with a game that laid down some foundations for the survival horror genre before it was cool. This completely blood soaked bonkers inside-yo-mind horror experience is remembered as D! Just the Letter D! Not that "D". Get your mind out of the gutter.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch finally come around after multiple fan requests to discuss this PS3 classic that is widely regarded as a critically acclaimed masterclass in storytelling where a post apocalyptic United States deals with the ever growing brain fungus infestation through a series of hope filled moonshots, cannibals, and child endangerment. The game is The Last of...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch show up to the table to talk about an underrated FPS with fantastical sword fighting elements, ancient Yokai lore, sexy assassins, comic book nerds, trickster demons, and so so much gunplay. We were excited to dive into the overlooked classic (maybe?) that is Shadow Warrior!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch sit around the table and talk about a crazy fever dream of a survival horror experience that has really flown under the radar ever since its original release.
