RPGrinders

I decided to play a bunch of Metroidvanias for May, for Maytroidvania month, but this spilled over to June and July, and soon to be August for Search-Action Soulsvania Summer! That leaves us with a whopping 6 games to cover! In order(I didn't bother putting in timestamps, don't have the time!) 125 - Islets 126 - Crypt Custodian 127 - Biomorph 128 -  Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus 129 - Afterimage 130...

I reviewed the Switch 1 and 2, and Xbox versions of this amazing, but somewhat flawed soon to be classic RPG!

I reviewed the Xbox version of this fun WarioWare-esque platform action game!  

I reviews the Switch and Xbox versions of this fun retro-styled metroidvania! P.S. - I keep calling the subtitle Tear of the Fallen Earth, when it's just Tears of the Earth. My bad!

In this mostly Game Night only, the crew ditches the usual format to just do news, followed by El Chupacabra's Quest to just rest in peace after winning a match. Be sure to tune in live to listen to the hilarity and dice rolls as they happen in real time! 

Edited from a live RPGrinders segment, I reviewed Shadow Labyrinth for the Switch/Switch 2 and Xbox! Other versions include PS5 and PC!

In this shorter ep of RPGrinders the guys have a very short news cycle so they can possibly get to game night (didn't happen), Frank Eric and Break discuss the next console generation and its relation to late stage capitalism, and finally Breaks internet crashes so the guys decide to do a pure game night in June!  Thanks for listening!  Join our chat usually first 3 Fridays of the month http://twi...

After a too long hiatus the Grinders are back, baby! We know we've been missed during these hard times, so we have a lot of making up to do! Tons of news, Stinkos, Sweetos, and reviews! We were gone for most of April. The curiosity is eating you alive. What have the Grinders been doing for the last month? Fighting fascism? Sitting on our asses? Became crypto millionaires only to realize crypto is...

I review the Xbox version of the the most recent flagship game in this series!

I review this game as a video since it's also an unboxing! Don't get used to it folks! And sorry about the toe/leg!

In this special canned episode of RPGrinders, Eric exclusively gets through weeks worth of news before Break does his review of the Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy IV. Then Break and Eric get through there shared stinkos of the various acts of corruption and anti-LGBT laws still being committed against the populace. It goes on so long, we skip Sweetos and go straight to the Free for All Topic of t...

Hi gang, it's the final part of the Metroid retrospective series for quite some time. While we have run out of Metroid games proper to talk shop, Eric is joined by guest Fanboymaster from RPGamer's Q and A podcast to talk about the genre that the Metroid series created. while we don't go over every game, and gloss over some I really wish would have been remembered to be mentioned, I hope you enjoy...

In the last show until May 1st, the gents breeze thru the news, Break has a copious amount of stinkos, Eric and Frank both get new PS5 Pros, and Frank explains the small hiatus!  See you all May 1st!  Thanks for listening!

It's been four years since the last retrospective, but we are back to discuss the last few games in the franchise! Since Prime 4 wasn't out yet, it was finally time to return. But first we go over Fusion and Other M before diving in to the most recent games in the series. Frank and Eric are joined by guest Fanboymaster101 from RPGamer's Q and A podcast! Enjoy! Here are the links to both previous r...

it's just Eric and Frank in this super short show for RPGrinders. After a decent chunk of news, Frank has a review for Shit Happens or Scared Shitless, as it may be called elsewhere. Eric reviews the live action One Piece's second season. Stinkos and Sweetos are brisk, but thery are not lacking for qualitatively. And finally Eric comes up with an impromptu Panic Zone scenario. If you want to catch...

Happy Spring, or Second Winter, or Third Winter, or whatever crazy weather pattern our ill environment throws at us. For example, here is Southern Ohio it was a beautiful day of mid 70s weather but tomorrow we are expecting highs in the 30s. Our climate is in danger, what will we do to save it? Also, what does any of that have to do with another new episode of RPGrinders??? I mean, besides the fac...

I reviewed the Switch version of this fun but somewhat lacking Metroidvania game! 

I review the new updated PS5 and Switch 2 releases for this update to 2024's latest Ys title! review for the original can be found here: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-7b5py-170e989 Score for this release: 9/10  

Getting old really does suck!  The guys have a really good discussion based on BreakMan's question for Drivers Seat, The news is short and sweet, Eric brings us sad news in his Stinko's for Shutaro Iida, and Frank sees the end of his gaming "career" in his sights......      Join us LIVE first 3 Fridays of the month twitch.tv/rpgrinders   or search YouTube:  Mexican Long Hair OR RPGrinders!!   Than...

in this new filled episode of RPGrinders, the crew has a lot of news no thanks to a State of Play, the the really important news is that Castlevania is back, baby! Break also has a review of the second season of Fallout. Stinkos are the usual suspects, but at least there are Sweetos to even that out. Frank also has a Driver's seat question for you all that you don't want to miss! Be sure to catch...
