Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross give Tomba! a stone age beatdown. Evil Pigs have taken your grandpa’s watch and cast a curse over the entire world. It’s your job to… Wait, I can’t do this. To treat it seriously would be lying to you. Tomba! is a fondly remembered 2.5D platformer, but WOFF! hated it. Aside from our shared fondness for exclamation marks, there’s nothing to recommend Tomba!. Disagree?...

Looks innocent but know that only misery lives here. Merry Christmas! I arranged a Christmas version of the song! This show was weekly! I don't want to sound like I'm tooting my own horn or to belabor the point but man, the time this thing would take, I tells ya. It's almost as if someone making it wouldn't have time for healthy relationships! This marks the beginning of the "around a half hour" l...

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross grab the sticks and get to the bottom of why arcades are the best. This episode is in the same vein as Episode 30.

Stay off the liquid nitrogen (Gastro-Dub). Return of the Butt Chug. When the internet hugs you. When the internet tattoos you. Chinese nipple regulations.

Will they discover the secret of the scepter? Here's the third episode, ya mugs! Controversial! This is when I started sort of putting episodes together with themes in mind. It's also the first time I recorded a song specifically for the episode. Think about how labor intensive that is! The back half of this remains one of my favorite things I've ever done and it's the first time I've done an audi...

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and the attendees of the Portland Retro Games Expo talk about Super Mario World. This episode is a bit of a different beast than our previous outings. Normally we play a game, then talk about it, and pepper in your thoughts. For this, we set up a booth at the Portland Retro Games Expo with a CRT TV and an SNES with Super Mario World. We invited anyone who passed to bea...

FUCKING FERAL. Episode 2 is where things take off, I think. A lot of things that make the show what it is first show up here. Repurposing editing mistakes, lists, improvised conversations and my pitch perfect Macy Gray impersonation. A coworker once got ahold of the podcast and said, "What the fuck do you have against Mariah Carey?" True story. I've got nothing against Macy Gray. I just happen to...

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross investigate Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. It’s no secret: We love adventure games. And we’ve done a lot of them recently. However, we’ve never done a Sierra adventure game, of which Gabriel Knight is probably the best. Funky accents aside, it’s got great dialogue, clever puzzles, and explores a subject that’s been mostly ignored by games: Voodoo. LINKS OF NOTE...

Excuse the audio quality in this week's episode. We couldn't record, so we had to dig up a lost episode. We did the best we could. Sorry. Suggested Talking Points: The lost. 86.

Never fear! The Cosmic Fool is here! This is it! The beginning! The first episode of Dead Idea Valhalla! Me, being who I am, created the beginning of a new show by focusing on the past.

Afterwards, we really get into the meat of the show with a bit of railing against this...

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Ron Gilbert achieve critical mass regarding Maniac Mansion. In a first for the show, WOFF! has the creator of a game in to talk about it. Maniac Mansion was foundational for both Gary and Kole, and it was a huge honor to have Ron Gilbert onto the show. If you haven’t played Maniac Mansion, shame on you. It’s an amazing point-and-click adventure game that formed the...
