This week we talk about the frantic world shifting cover base shooter Inversion!

This week Chump Slap and Poppascotch need to fill some airtime due to scheduling conflicts, so they decided that watching the 2005 film Doom would be a fun exercise and I think the guys are left with more questions than answers.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch finally fulfill a fan request to talk about Star Wars by selecting one of the worst possible Star Wars games in existence that requires a big hunk of plastic shaped like a larger version of the Millennium Falcon's cockpit and put that on top of your keyboard just to play the shamed classic Star Wars Millennium Falcon CD-ROM Playset! We also got a...

That's right, we're talkin...

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.
