WTFamicom with Dan and Nick

The Grand Theft Auto series is known for many controversial moments but there was only one that made us want to take all our clothes off. On today's bonus episode we talk about the infamous "Hot Coffee Mod" from GTA: San Andreas and its terrifying VR potential.

So enter if you dare and don't fo...

Boss battles come and go but only one has ever tried to question your gaming library while doing it. In today's bonus episode we shine the spotlight on "Psycho Mantis" from Metal Gear Solid and his unorthodox method of doxxing.

Sidekicks. They get in the way more than they get to the goal. They're like heroes... but not really. Video games are no different. Our digital journeys are filled with countless sidekicks, companions, simps - call them what you want - and they drive us crazy with ill-timed commentary, horrible aim and "block the doorway" physics. Why can't we get away from them? When will they get the hint that w...

Mars and Hell have alot in common. Both are orange in appearance and can be annoyingly hot. Kind of like lasagna. But unlike that Italian dish, the other two were visited by bulky action heroes and at one point also contained the most coveted video game weapon of all time - the BFG. On today's episode, we went to Hell and back to bring you everything we know (and didn't want to know) about DOOM, t...

Let's be honest: fighting games suck. We can button mash & keep holding the block button all we want in Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat or some random one-off (see: this episode's title), but it's all BS. Honestly, who could stand there and take a 25 hit combo to the face and not be instantly dead? On today's episode we pause our game, check the moves list and get in the ring with some of gaming's m...

Famous film critic Roger Ebert once declared that video games could never be art. But did he ever take in account if art could be video games? In today's episode we showcase two pieces of art that could very well prove Mr. Ebert wrong. (Also on YouTube - https://youtu.be/vFaqOpkp6KM)

The year is 1996. It is a blissful time of ALF, pogs and Tupac. However, a dark animal abuse simulator was on the horizon. It was Pokémania! But where do you even begin - the cards, the anime, the hundreds of video games? On today's episode, we'll expertly guide you through the entire Pokémon franchise as best we can. From Abra all the way to Zubat! And we won't even hide the fact that we would ra...

Scusi the interruption, paisonos! We're celebrating our monumental 30th episode in the least embarrassing way we can thing of by watching the MOST embarrassing thing Nintendo has ever produced - 1989's "The Super Mario Bros Super Show!". We discuss two episodes of the classic cartoon that taught us more about plumbing than we could have ever imagined. So strap yourself in, pile on that pasta and l...

What hasn't been said about "The Legend of Zelda"? For 35 years, it continues to capture the hearts of anyone that ventures into the magical land of Hyrule to help Link save the princess, stop Ganon and save the world. Today, we pay homage to it by not paying homage to it. Instead we're celebrating Zelda Rubinstein, the actress from the 1982 film "Poltergeist". (YouTube version also available - ht...

We live in a society where humanity adheres to certian codes. Moral codes. Codes of Law. Garage Door Codes. Codec Code frequencies. But what if there was just one code that rose above the rest. A code so powerful and universal it transcended all of space and time as we knew it. In today's episode, we dissect the most famous video game cheat of all time - the Konami Code. I think now is as good a t...

In 1996, "Resident Evil" was released and took the world by storm and helped define the survival horror genre. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, we take a look at the live-action intro (and the actors themselves) to see where this hell all started. So watch along while listening and join us in Raccoon Forest! (YouTube version also available - our reactions start at 2:00 mark! https://youtu.be/EiS...

In our first new episode in four months, we talk about what we have been up to during our hiatus. What kind of video games did we play? Is it possible for someone to be an incel, simp, virgin and cuck all at once? Do Wario and Waluigi have the same private parts as us normal humans? All these questions are answered along with many other surpises. So in the wise words of our friend Solid Snake - "K...

Remember when memes weren't a thing? Well, we can thank 2007's "PORTAL" for that. It introduced us to one of the most famous lines in video games as well as the very first gaming meme to go viral - "THE CAKE IS A LIE". On today's bonus episode, we discuss the meaning behind the meme. Be warned, this episode is NOT gluten-free.

THE FUTURE IS NOW! The year is 2020 and we have yet to experience flying cars, a nuclear holocaust or even cyberpunk biker gangs. In other words, video games are full of shit. In today's episode, we compare our present to the "future" video games have predicted over the years.

Who is the greatest PlayStation mascot of ALL TIME? If your answer was not Sony's failed 1995 God-like being known as "Polygon Man", then you are probably normal. On today's bonus episode, we give the purple piece of trash the send-off he deserves.

In 1995, Nintendo released the "VIRTUAL BOY" - a portable virtual reality/home console hybrid that was capable of bringing serious long-term harm to your eyes, your posture, and if you owned one, most likely your pride. Join us as we uncelebrate the quarter century existence of this disappointing mess. VR you ready?

What does gaming and the 1989 comedy classic "Weekend at Bernie's" have in common? Absolutely nothing. But, like Bernie when he hears Caribbean music, that isn't going to stop us! On today's bonus episode, we talk about the greatest crossover that no one knew they wanted!

When you think of action, suspense, cowboy taunts and bad hairlines, only one name comes to mind - DIE HARD. One of the greatest action movies of all time produced two of the best licensed video games of all time and we're here to prove it! Today's episode shines a light on "Die Hard Trilogy", "Die Hard Arcade" and a special surprise game that proves John McClane was ALWAYS in the wrong place at t...
