Plotty Time

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch take a time machine back to 2003 when In Da Club was bumping at every frat party, the Matrix Reloaded kicked us all in the balls, and Apple launched this new thing called iTunes. Also this bullshit Xbox game called Brute Force came out, so we are going to talk about that. BRUTE FORCE!!!!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch come to the pod table today to talk about a bona fide AAA titled from one of the most accomplished studios ever in Sucker Punch when they tackle the conduit havin', electricity slingin', genocide sim inFAMOUS 2! What are you waiting for?

Welp, you people did this. You kept asking for the minisodes back and by gum, a promise is a promise so here we go. Poppascotch does some housekeeping talking about the past and future of minisodes then goes on to rant about unfinished games for a while. Enjoy! and welcome back to Minisodes!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch discuss an N64 classic starring Agent Jean-Luc Cougar and a whole bunch of other invisible squad members as they infiltrate a laser satellite's command center to stop a terrorist organization from using it to start a war in the fictional country of Sarcozia.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch take yet another week to talk about a video game adaptation of another movie but at least this time the format makes sense. We've got a hack and slash from the mid 2000s based on the hit Hugh Jackman vehicle that tried to do a mashup of all famous movie monsters by loosely tying them to the man sent trying to kill them! That's right, we're talkin...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch throw you all a curve ball by talking about the X-Files again. BUT WAIT! THIS ISN'T A Plotty Time Watches Episode! Yeah it's not because this week we discovered and discussed the PS2 exclusive game for the X-Files where they take Mulder and Scully and put them in a Resident Evil game. It's called X-Files: Resist or Serve!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch reach deep into the backlog of games to find a video game based on a Keanu Reeves movie that had holy shotguns, demons getting trapped in mirrors, frequent trips to hell, Tilda Swinton and Gavin Rossdale? From Bush? No, it’s a band from the 90s that was hot for like 3 years. Clearly the only game it could be is the PS2 adaptation of the film Cons...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch show up this week ready to talk about a game that totally explains the Lost civilization of Atlantis who were so technically advanced that they could harness the ability of flight, but they couldn't figure out how to possibly govern without a firm Monarchy in place. It sounds silly when you say it like that. Either way, get ready for some talk ab...

This week our scheduling took a turn for the worst, so we panicked for 4 days, then Chump Slap and Poppascotch rented a movies theater at the last minute for a two person screening of the 1994 film Street Fighter in order to have something to talk about. So please enjoy a silly episode that probably goes too far into depth about a move that despite having Raul Julia in it, was not super great. We...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch reach back into the sack of early survival horror games with a story involving zombie gangsters, voodoo rituals, pirates, and a big spooky mansion on a cliff.

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. If you said the Microsoft Kinect, of course you are right! The game is the surreal cursed woods rave party fever drea...

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch uncover a fan favorite LucasArts gem that has somehow gone under our radar until right now.

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...

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.
