What was Monster Blitz?

I earnestly, honest to glob, don't ever remember submitting this game. But it does sound like something I would do. --Gwen Sniping is one of the most fun activities in a video game, and probably one of the least fun things to do in real life. That didn’t stop the sniper game boom in the 2000s, which included the budget PS2 title The Sniper 2… a game whose sole redeeming factor is its terrible cuts...

In this episode, we gather our party to kill a god. Other Segments: Alternate Realities: The Gale Bomb Up on a Soapbox: So how was Act 2? The Forum: We hear from you!

A Sword of Fire. And Ice. This week we tackle a Legacy-ish Dungeon, Castle Ensis. Don’t get us wrong, the boss fight here is very good… but the level design and lore here are both threadbare. They can’t all be winners, but the good news is that every other dungeon is better than this one.

Fable is the story... nay, the legend of Peter Molyneux and his ability to sell a pocket full of dreams. Does Fable stack up the great RPGs of it's day? Short answer, no.

If you go anywhere used games are sold, you’ll see shelves choked with DS and Wii shovelware. And this week’s game, Wonder World Amusement Park, is emblematic of everything about that phenomenon. But of course, Gary picked this game to have an excuse to talk about his trip to the Oregon State Fair, which featured a real life reenactment of The Zoo Race.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and Moxie talk about Dungeon Divers, Half-Life: Alyx, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, and much more! The Grind: Ben: Half-Life: Alyx. Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. Dennis: Dungeon Divers. Tetris Effect. iRacing. Moxie: Far Cry 6. Kole: Nothing. The Multiplayer: What game would you love to break out and beat on a long weekend? The End Boss: Concord pulled from stores, serve...

In this episode: Gwen apologizes for recommending The Bear, Kole years for the Everquest mines, and Gary nostalgia-dives into Tony Hawk.

We do the other half of the monster from the last one, sorry

Before we attack Castle Ensis, there’s more ground we need to cover on the far side of the Great Ellac Bridge. This week’s episode introduces a brand new kind of mini dungeon, the Ruined Forge, full of big goofy golems with obvious weak points on their butts. We also meet sleepy, insecure Thiollier before ascending the Suppressing Tower and speculating about what exactly is going on with that thin...

The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and you find out who is right and who is dead. We would like to thank Gwen Static for composing our theme song, and Trent Peters for creating our great podcast art.

After the harrowing experience that was covering Wing Commander last month, we needed a palate cleanser. So enter a new kind of episode: a survey of video game-related episodes of popular cartoons! We assure you this isn’t just an excuse to talk about things we already like. First we discuss three episodes of Adventure Time: “Guardians of Sunshine”, “Card Wars”, and “Dungeon Train.” Then we talk a...

Wouldn't it be nice to run around and pretend like you had the superpowers you always read about in comic books? City of Heroes takes the pen and paper daydreams of children and translates them to a much-beloved cult MMO. Does it stand the test of time? Or are you better off just fucking around with the character creator? Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

We only cover half of a monster on this one, it's kind of a problem

Gonna be honest, it’s weird to record an episode that stays on topic like this one does. Everyone remembers the Eternal Champions, right? A franchise beloved enough that it got two character-specific spinoffs before Mortal Kombat got even one? X-Perts (unrelated to the X-Men) is in the running for one of the worst beat-em-ups we’ve covered for the show, which is really saying something.

The Great Ellac Bridge crosses a dividing line in the Gravesite Plain, a large canyon that stands between the ground we’ve already covered and Castle Ensis. The far side is fortified and narrow, but has many mysteries to explore before we head into the castle itself. This week we tackle castle-front encampment before heading north into a misty valley to delve into the Fog Rift Catacombs, where God...

It would be really hard for me not to just go grab a velociraptor when somebody asks me to speak to the manager.

Whether you’re a goodie-goodie or a ne’er-do-well, Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate III will culminate with some massive battles at Moonrise Towers. This week we talk about dealing with Ketheric’s forces on the ground floors before ascending to the roof to fight the man himself… with or without the help of Dame Aylin. Other Segments: Sage Advice: Camp Clerics and Camp Wizards. Win the tedious way! Combat an...

Bomberman is simple, and Bomberman is forever… even if his heyday as the mainstay of multiplayer party games is mostly in the past. This week’s episode is a look at the series as a whole, with particular attention toward Super Bomberman 2, the height of the series on SNES. This episode will self destruct after you listen to it.

One angry monster, lots of therapy, and you.

Behold, the Nega-Bear. It exists within and without our dimension. Do not try to shut your eyes, as the Nega-Bear moves faster when it is not perceived.

This week, for the first Roundtable Roundtable of the DLC season, we invited the excellent YouTube video essayist Noah Caldwell-Gervais  to join us to talk about Elden Ring, the Shadows of the Erdtree DLC, and his travelogue approach to analyzing games. Then we read your responses to the Gravesite Plain region and the Belurat, Tower Settlement legacy dungeon.

Would you believe us if we told you that the Shadowfell is a place that sucks? Having just completed all of Shar’s exams, we plunge into her realm to confront Balthazar and figure out what to do with the Nightsong, aka Dame Aylin the Aasimar.

Because Walt put a "bug" (or tracking device, if you will) on Gus's car. He does not watch the 2007 film Bug starring Ashley Judd. We would like to thank Gwen Static for composing our theme song, and Trent Peters for creating our great podcast art.
