S1 E16 - I Am You and You Are Me 21.01.2019 2:04:58
As the podcast delves into its official unofficial second season, the cast catches up on their recent gaming forays (which basically means a lot of Ric gushing about mobile/handheld games while Toast and Kerf fish into the hollow recesses of their memories for something to contribute). Stay tuned in a couple weeks' time for Part 2!
S1 E15 - Riley's a Piece of S*** and Won't Stop Barking Ever Because He Thinks He's a Great Dog but Really He's Just Sub-Par 29.12.2018 1:36:25
Back from a short break, and with an obnoxiously long title, this episode of the HLTB podcast sees hosts KerfMerf, UltimateZombieToast and NinjaRic talking about the games they beat. By which we mean the games Ric beat, because he's a loser with no life or friends and he's not as handsome as Kerf and his glorious red beard anyway. [Three guesses which one of us handles the RSS uploads] You can als...
S1 E14 - Don't F*** With Frenzy 06.11.2018 1:57:38
Giddyup, pardners! This episode, our hosts (and a special guest from the West) go through their latest completions, laugh at Kerf's Sonic OC, and get lost in bible-based retro gaming. There's also another installment of the fan-favourite segment, Ricommendations.
S1 E13 - Kids Need To Die! 12.09.2018 2:26:46
In perhaps the most morally questionable episode yet, the cast (who is almost unanimously on death's door), discusses plagiarism, the Israel/Palestine conflict, and euthanizing literal children. Special guest pokepaw's kind heart prevents us from committing crimes against humanity. Theme music by Alex Eliades. Intermission music by Acidjoker. Follow us on Twitter @HLtBPodcast
S1 E12 - The Neverending Podcast 24.08.2018 2:19:28

As always, be sure to give our Twitter a follow @HLtBPodcast! (Intermission music is "Gryphons of the...
S1 E11 - It's a Funny Story 08.08.2018 2:16:22
Tired of hearing the same three voices every 2 weeks? Be tired no more! The main hosts are joined this episode by their very first guest host from the HLTB community, Anthony! In addition to the usual video game talk, there is a disproportionate focus on Christian children's television and ego-stroking. For the forum question, they discuss the most memorable gaming protagonists. You can check out...
S1 E10 - Setting My Bulge Aside... 25.07.2018 1:40:00
The hosts are back in full form with more digressions about bad movies and genitalia than you can shake a stick at! Ric and Toast flex their fanatical muscles for Chrono Trigger while Kerf does a trial run of his new host segment. It all rounds out with a discussion of the best and most memorable villains in gaming. Be sure to follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HLtBPodcast
S1 E9 - Fear is the Greatest Motivator 16.07.2018 1:07:58
On this relatively short, intermissionless, and questionless episode of the podcast, the hosts catch up on their backlog progress from the past month (with Kerf, as usual having way too many games to talk about at once) and share their increasingly warlike host segments--with the potential for the audience to influence their future! Then they end with a plea to the listeners to come aboard as gues...
