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 Isaac Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea Lord of the Rings: Third Age Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Snoop Dogg will narrate your CoD matches for $2.99 Email us!

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 sidetracked by dick jokes a lot. I don’t know what to tell you.

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.

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 this one. It’s pretty good. Real Links, Real Fast: Yoshi’s New Island inFamous Second Son FEAR 3 Tales of Xillia Oculus bought by Facebook for basically all the mo...

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 contributed to the recording of this week’s episode, and we make no apologies for that.  Shalinkquas: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroe...

“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 ON TO YOUR BUTTS.

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 the meantime, check out our first forays into the world of new consoles, our journeys back into the world of old games, an...

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 happen. Good things, though! Also, if you’re curious about our detailed thoughts on sherbet, we put some time into discussing them. That’s...

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 to talk about this week. Mostly it’s trying to remember exactly what happened in the basement, but there’s also a lot of talk about unicorns, sherbet, and terrib...

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!

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 entertainment. This *may* be related to the titular horse masks of this week’s episode. Maybe? It’s hard to say. Join us to find out about that, and to help solve the mystery of the hole i...

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 listen carefully, though, you can still pick out some important topics of discussion, like Eurogamer insights, games we have to be drunk to play properly, and REAL Final Fantasy talk. An embarrass...

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 discussion. (You didn’t think we forgot about awful sandwiches, did you?)

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 into ALL OF THE LISTENER MAIL!! (You guys are so great!)

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.

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 think Peter Molyneux would see it, anyway.

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. Spider sharks? Oh GOD, I just horrified myself. Scary, scary links: Deadly Premonition Cook, Serve, Delicious!

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 talking about stuff that we’ve been playing eventually, though. I promise. Links, sponsored by #dryvsmoist: Deadly Premonition Cook, Serve, Delicious!

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 and wait for the part where we get back on topic. Or, you know, as much “on topic” as we ever get. Come on, you guys know how this works by now! Topical links: Da...

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 missed. Links: The Last of Us Muramasa Rebirth Persona 3 FES Animal Crossing: New Leaf Cook, Serve, Delicious!

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 to this show. You can come back later. For now, just go play the game. We’ll wait for you to thank us.

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.
