podcast – Some Other Castle

We don’t always have special guests, but when we do, they’re pretty much the best thing ever. Join us for talk about bad games, good beer, and Batman. Always be Batman. Batlinks: Borderlands Saw II: Flesh and Blood Binding of… Continue reading →

Listen, they can’t all be fancy beers, okay? Sometimes you just have to go with what’s available. Same thing for podcasts. I know there have to be SOME out there that actually talk about their stated topics, but we… get… Continue reading →

Stealth games just aren’t for everyone, okay? Some of us are more suited to the whole “run in and shoot everything in the face before it can get away” style of play. And there’s nothing wrong with that! NOTHING. Jelly… Continue reading →

We have a long-standing tradition of being dumb, and this week doesn’t disappoint. Listen to the outtakes if you doubt me, but why would you? Listen to the outtakes anyway. And the rest of the episode, too. Trust me on… Continue reading →

We’re back! Remember us? We remember you. So, since we’re all acquainted, let’s all sit around and chat about the stuff that matters. You know, like video games? And also, ball sweat. Apparently? I guess. Listen, some tequila/Shaquila may have… Continue reading →

“But Leah,” I hear you thinking, “isn’t EVERY episode a vodkacast?” The answer is no. Sometimes there is beer. Anyway, this episode is going to be about as much a surprise to me as it is to you, so HOLD… Continue reading →

There’s a lot of anger surfacing in this week’s episode, but it’s not about the things you might expect, like unspecified nerd rage. It’s mostly about Christmas music, actually. Don’t worry, it’ll all make sense by the outtakes. Probably. In… Continue reading →

Some of the things we’ve been playing this week are probably about what you’d expect, but some… well, there are some wildcards, too. All I can say is that when you’re expecting Beyond but find empty space, strange things can… Continue reading →

Hey, you guys. Hey. HEEEEEEY. We may not have played a whole lot of games since the extravaganza that was Extra Life 2013 (which is all archived on twitch.tv/etdragon, just in case you were wondering), but we still have plenty… Continue reading →

With very little time until Extra Life begins, we’re tempting fate by giving ourselves EVEN MORE time to hate each other a little bit while sitting in Elaine’s basement. WE DO THIS FOR YOU, INTERNET! LINK LINK LINK Hyperdimension Neptunia… Continue reading →

You know, sometimes we wonder why other people put up with us at all. I mean, it’s not like we’re very nice to them. Mostly we just plot out ways to scare the crap out of them for our own… Continue reading →

We had SO MUCH to talk about this week after missing two shows that things are a bit all over the place (which is why my title isn’t more snappy…but we can also blame that on jet lag). If you… Continue reading →

It’s tough to NOT be a little gangsta when you’re as thug as we are. No, seriously! Stop laughing! Anyway, we continue to live out our gangsta lives with a wide variety of awesome games, and also with more sandwich… Continue reading →

Settle in, folks, because you’re in for a long one this week! (See what I did there?) Listen as Leah discusses her newly-realized fear of the dark, Elaine gushes about the joys of being President, and we both joyfully plunge… Continue reading →

I mean, come ON. It’s episode 69. Just… insert your own joke here and save me the trouble, okay? Okay. Heh. Insert. LINKS GET INSERTED HERE: The Last Story Final Fantasy VI The Bureau: XCOM Declassified Hearthstone XBox One has… Continue reading →

Bad (?) news, guys: there’s no Soda Shaq this week. It will make a triumphant return, certainly, but we needed a break. Instead, we talk about… video games? I guess? That’s usually where things end up, anyway. Every Two Links:… Continue reading →

I mean, really, who can say what the division of services will be like when the new consoles are released? Perhaps we will find ourselves in a land where mythical creatures finally get the respect they deserve. That’s how we… Continue reading →

WE DO THIS FOR YOU, INTERNET! Link-based products: Deadly Premonition Cook, Serve, Delicious! Final Fantasy V Pikmin 3 Plants vs. Zombies 2 XBox One no longer requires Kinect XBox One can tell when it’s overheating and will shut itself down… Continue reading →

I know this podcast was supposed to be about something, but it gets harder with each passing week to remember exactly what that is… it might be sandwiches, though. Or possibly sharks? I definitely remember something about sharks and spiders.… Continue reading →

This week was ALL OF THE INTERESTING, and while much of that may not really have had a whole lot to do with video games, it seems like you guys are kind of into that. We do get around to… Continue reading →

Very important issues are discussed on this podcast, and we’re probably going to need help resolving it, so listen up, take notes, and choose a side! CHOOSE CAREFULLY. Dry/Moist Links: Dragon’s Crown Darksiders Darksiders 2 Deadly Premonition Soul Calibur 2… Continue reading →

We have lots of stories this week, which may or may not be related to video games. There’s a lot of talk about sandwiches and sunburns and people doing inappropriate things in cars, so you should probably just settle in… Continue reading →

We don’t get serious very often on this show, but we would both like to dedicate this episode to Ryan Davis, who served as an example and an inspiration to our show from day one. Thanks, duder. You will be… Continue reading →

We both finished The Last of Us recently, and we have things to say about it. Please note: this podcast contains MASSIVE STORY SPOILERS, so if you have not finished the game–and I do mean FINISHED it–please do not listen… Continue reading →

Guys, we didn’t even need outtakes this week. Just listen to the first fifteen minutes or so and you will have everything you need. Also, @underballz. Seriously. Links that are not balls: Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion Castlevania: Lords… Continue reading →
