Check It Out, Comrade! 7: Nidhogg / Dust: An Elysian Tale 01.02.2014 30:16

We've broken our pairing due to a technical glitch and instead, we're playing two games that couldn't be more different. Or could they? They couldn't. Or is that true? In this episode we talk about Dust, an Elysian Tale and Nidhogg.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross are joined by Levi, Nick, Ben, and Courtney for a very special live play session of Dungeons & Dragons. We've been talking about it for a while, and here it finally is.

Bonfireside Chat 27: Berserk Manga (Part 1) 25.01.2014 1:58:48

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the first two arcs of the Berserk manga. Why the hell are we talking about manga on a Dark Souls podcast? All you have to do is open a Berserk volume to any random page to see that From Software drew a LOT of inspiration from this decades-long (and still running!) series. In this episode, we cover generalities, along with the first two major arcs of the se...

Watch Out for Fireballs! 65: Dungeons and Dragons 23.01.2014 2:28:34

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross put pen to paper (in an audio sense) to talk about Dungeons & Dragons and its legacy in this very special episode.

For the first half, we talk about the history of Dungeons...

Pitch Classic 4: Backpackula and The Business Duster/Dustness Suit 22.01.2014 18:02

A final call for responses and a very foundational episode of the Dinopitch. Apologies for the sound quality.

Abject Suffering 28: Stone Protectors 20.01.2014 38:26

Stones are pretty neat. They have things to say about the world around us. Like Andy Dufresne once said, "All it takes is pressure and time." Natural forces shape the elements of our world into beautiful crystalline forms that dazzle and delight. What stones can't do is support an entire multimedia blitz with bad puns related to (ugh) rock and roll.

Watch Out for Fireballs! 64: Heroes of Might and Magic III 09.01.2014 1:49:45

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Brian skirmish with Heroes of Might and Magic III. PC strategy games have been something of a blind spot for us, but Heroes III is the perfect entry point. People really love this game, and we can tell why. The different Town types make up for the kind of nonsense story (which I will not outline here). Special thanks to our guest, Kickstarter backer Brian, for offe...

Fibers are too thick. That's why you need fibre'.

Abject Suffering 27: Scrapyard Dog 06.01.2014 45:12

Your average hot tub is kept at around 100 degrees farenheit. While many find this temperature to be pleasing on their muscles and soothing on their joints, what they don't realize is that this is also approximately the temperature of the inside of their buttholes. And, in fact, the act of sharing a hot tub with a group of strangers is a form of communal Butthole Soup Making. So, think about that...
