WTFamicom with Dan and Nick

Welcome to our Official Holiday Gift Guide of 2022! Join us as we take you on a sleigh ride of savings to make sure you get the perfect gift for that special gamer in your life. By the time we're done, you'll forget all about Santa Claus, his homely wife and that dumb sack. We let you in on the best deals for videogames, accessories, stocking stuffers and much more! So throw on a cheap ugly sweate...

Full throttle action! Awesome high speed stunts! Full-on pedal to the metal intensity! We know what you're thinking and yes, these are all phrases that appear on the back of "The Fast and the Furious" DVD case. It's pretty much the extent of our knowledge of street racing, stunts and characters with less personality than Mario. So what better time than now to learn about videogames that repilcate...

If The Simpsons taught us anything, it's that you can get away with lying by using this one trick - be devilishly clever and replace the word "clams" with "hams". Even 26 years later, Seymour Skinner's method proves that hamming it up is always the best option. But what about videogame "hams"? Gaming is full of people who overreact and there's only one place where they record themselves, you, and...

It's Halloween which means two things: we come up with scary food recipes and we imagine what we'd look like with our enemy's faces surgerically sewn onto our own. Since the second option is way out of our budget range I guess a simple costume change will have to do. On today's spooktabulous bonus episode, we go through videogames that have costumes, masks and disguises as part of their gameplay....

SEX - it's everywhere. At home, online, in a car behind a church. Lately though we can add one more place it happens just as frequent if not more than the others and that is in the world of videogames. Religious folks and politicians tirelessly try to censor sex in gaming which is ironic given that they are usually hornier than actual gamers themselves. Now we can't do much to help them, but we ca...

One Million B.C. - man discovers the use of rocks and fire. They also discover how to cover up their small junk and try to get the attention of women that want nothing to do with them. Fast forward to 2022 A.D. and things are pretty much the same with the latter. There was a time in between though where the desire to become a caveman conquered every visual medium including videogames. So join us o...

SSHHHH! Can't you see we're trying to read here!? Oh, it's not a New York Times Best Seller? That's because it's gaming literature, nerd! Boring codex entries from space. Barely legible diaries from scientists. Books written by actual squid monsters. Come to think of it, all of this sounds terrible. Why read this? What's the point? Hell, you can even skip dialogue in videogames too. Half of videog...

In 1999 you were probably doing one of two things - preparing for Y2K or playing a PS1 game where you can tase a guy long enough they would catch on fire. On today's bonus episode we take on a highly classified mission that involves mystery, murder and a main character who is pretty much a raging sociopath. Lock on to your target and hit that roll button because we're talking about the gaming fran...

It's a place that goes by many names. To the people inside it's "Slammer", "Big House" and "Club Fed". If you've only ever seen it in a videogame it's known simply as prison. And if that's the extent of your knowledge then we are in some deep, deep trouble. What's the layout of this place? Is Wario a guard we can pay off? Should I hide PS1 games in my butt again? On today's detained episode we tal...

Babies -- either you have them or you hate them. Nine times out of ten people fall in both categories. You probably had to sell your entire videogame collection just to afford to raise one. And it's not like you know what they're thinking or this would be a helluva lot easier. But what if you did? And what if they sounded like Bruce Willis? And what if somehow babies made from polygons and pixels...

ARE YOU READY TO ROCK? HOW 'BOUT EVERYBODY IN THE BACK! WE CAN'T HEAR YOU! No, seriously we can't because we're getting old. All we do nowadays is wear old band shirts and talk about old videogames. We live in the past 24/7 and we're total frauds. But isn't that what rock n' roll is all about - pretending you're someone else? Wouldn't it be cool if bands made videogames where they made you think y...

In the year 1776 a bunch of dudes in frilly wigs signed history's biggest piece of paper in Philadelphia. Over 200 years later an alien was punched in the face by a Philly rapper turned actor. Who's to say which act was greater for the gaming industry? On today's bonus episode we talk Independence Day videogames inspired by the 1996 film and also games starring some of our favorite founding father...

It's finally beach season, folks! Grab your sunscreen, oversized flips flops and the beach towels you stole from your ex and let's hang ten! We won't be joining you because if video games have taught us anything, it's that beach levels are quite dangerous. They're filled with 90's soda mascots, future space marines and even monkeys on surf boards - it's a real freak show. On today's episode we div...

GAME OVER. It's a saying you will hear on two occasions in your life - from your TV screen when you die in a videogame and when you eventually decide to get married. On today's bonus episode, we discuss gaming couples who tied the knot and also some who didn't survive the pixelated realm of "happily ever after".

BUSTED! Shut your mouth, spread your legs and hand over any illegal drugs you have! And if this is anything like a videogame you probably used those drugs to slow time or assist you during the filming of the Street Fighter movie. Since the 80's, the FBI has monitored drug use in gaming so we're renting out a van that says FLOWERS on the outside and finally monitoring them back! On today's episode...

Women belong in gaming, period. And when we say "women" by that we mean "brains". And when we say "in gaming" we really mean "in jars, deep in outer space". Regardless we support them. On today's bonus episode we take an in-depth look at one of the most important female figures in videogame history - Mother Brain from 1986's NES classic 'Metroid'.

Do you have what it takes to get in the ring with some of the greatest wrestling legends ever? Forget Hulk Hogan and The Rock! Our custom roster of athletes will suplex the hell out of those turds and pin them in three. On today's bonus episode we discuss some of the wrestling videogames we played growing up and unearth actual custom characters we created 22 years ago in the Nintendo 64 game "Wres...

PHILADELPHIA - known for a giant cracked bell, bad cheesesteaks and being in 15 minutes of the film 'National Treasure'. But did you know it has also been the setting for a plethora of videogames? Of course you didn't! We figured it was our job not only to shine a light on these games but to also teach you everything we know about our lovely city. On today's episode we'll teach you how to talk, ta...

What makes a mascot? Is it the cool clothes, the reckless attitude, the finger-wagging guilt they inherit by association? Who knows and frankly, who cares? In today's bonus episode we sift through a cavalcade of videogame characters that for one reason or another, have sold their soul to sell a game. Get your system-specific hats ready and let's get talkin about these freaks!

There are two questions we should ask ourselves before we die - what is God's plan and how many videogame consoles did he own growing up? He's not a real gamer if it's less than three, bottom line. From the onset, religion in videogames has always been a taboo topic - but why? On today's episode we finally get real and take a theological approach to our favorite hobby. So in the name of the Father...

If you build it, they will come. And as long as LEGO keeps building video game adaptations of properties, we'll be here to play them! On today's bonus episode, we talk about those adorable Danish bricks and what movies (or people!) we would like to see as the next big LEGO game.

Just as Mario finishing every level, we have finished 2021 only to find out our princess is in another castle. But the joke is on her because last year was ugly and we hated her anyway. So aside from resolutions to trim our gaming diet we also proudly present the first episode of the new year. Today we talk about games we played for hours without sleep, bad ideas from friends, funerals for nuns, t...

On today's bonus episode, we discuss the 1954 novel "Lord of the Flies" and its themes of human impulse, individuality, and the loss of innocence. Just kidding, we just put videogame characters on an deserted island and see who kills who first.

It's that time of the year again, folks! Grandmoms are biting each other for Black Friday deals, dogs and cats are kissing under the mistletoe - it's total madness. So leave it up to us to help deliver you the best deals every gamer wants and needs this Christmas with our biannual "Holiday Gift Guide". These are the can't-miss, must-have presents that you DON'T want to go without. So pour another...

They say that "life, uh, finds a way". And with that we finally found a way to dedicate an entire episode to the only videogame appearance (probably) of the weirdest actor ever - Jeff Goldblum. Join us in watching the secret ending of a 1997 Jurassic Park game no one remembers - not even Goldblum himself!
