But the GOOD NEWS: we got Bubba … Continue reading → The post Ep. 852 – Light Bake (Redux) appeared first on TADPO...

Liberty or Death! or cake? Nah, no Eddie Izzard references here (for the moment). You know we love the vast field of minutia and crunch that are all Koei games, so surely we do even better with a game that relates to history we studied in middle and high school, right? RIGHT?! Plenty of time … Continue reading → The post Ep. 851 – Liberty or Death! (SNES) appeared first on TADPOG...

The holiday season has come for us all, and with all the chaos surrounding it, we decided to listen to Taryn and bring back some calls.

Super James Pond swims through the snow to TADPOG shores! Why snow?
