This week's episodes: Jar Of Wisps, Soul Locket, Friend Finder, and Tainted Lazarus.

Bionic Commando is one of the best games for the NES. Taking away your jump and forcing you to rely on predictable swinging physics was (and is!) a novel concept, matched by a delightful semi-serious, semi-goofy tone and exquisite level design. So you can imagine how high hopes were when a sequel was announced. Well, that was a mistake.

This week we dip into the wooded valley at the heart of the Altus Plateau, to see the unpleasant sights and hear the unpleasant sounds. See, there are Wormfaces about. And also a very deadly Bloody Finger who has been double dipping in powers. And a tomb with a gimmick straight of of Zelda. Altus is weird!

This week we talk about the Season 1 DVD's special features, including some extended scenes and some very fun screen tests. Then we read your responses to Breaking Bad's first season and prepare to dive into Season 2. We would like to thank Gwen Static for composing our theme song, and Trent Peters for creating our great podcast art.

Kole, Ben, David, and Dennis talk about The Past Within, Returnal, Citizen Sleeper, and much more! The Grind: David: Warframe. Citizen Sleeper. Ben: Baba Does Taxes. Returnal. The Past Within. Kole: The Past Within. The Devil in Me. Dennis: Elden Ring. Warhammer: Darktide. The Multiplayer: What game would you never touch with a ten foot pole? The End Boss: EA removes CPR end zone celebration from...

Thank you Abe! It's time to circle strafe the Monstrous Manual with Heretic! This Doom Clone has a lot of subtle improvements that make it more than just Doom with Wands. Listen in to find out more! Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

This week's episodes: Worm Friend, Bone Spurs, Hungry Soul, and Your Soul.

Tootinis is a game that feels like a student project that ended up getting a little money behind it. Very little money, mind you. So we're fully in "Please Be Cool" mode because all these people did was make a weird kids' game with baffling characters and a very funny intro. Additionally we talk about what Totino's Pizzas become when they enter your mouth, the new garage that Kole saw, and Gary's...

This week we venture a little further into Altus, getting our first glimps of the Capital walls and the ghostly banners that still fly over it. We head through the Lux Ruins and some features of the southern roads, fighting Godefroy and talking with Millicent, Rya, and Corhyn. Not all is well in this once-golden land.

Hello! This week we're continuing our discussing about Uncanny X-Men with issues #15-18, the conclusion of the Dark Angel Saga. It's good y'all! Reminder that you can read along with and ahead of the show by subscribing to Marvel Unlimited (we don't get paid for you doing that, so it's not an ad, it's just a cool service). You can also use Comixology, or buy the trades from your local comic book s...

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and Jala talk about Life is Strange: True Colors, Just Dance 2023, Marvel’s Midnight Suns, and much more! The Grind: Jala: Pokémon Scarlet. Capcom 2nd Arcade Stadium. Just Dance 2023. Samurai Shodown. Ben: Marvel’s Midnight Suns. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. Marvel Snap. Returnal. Dennis: Elden Ring. Warzone 2.0. Trackmania. Dr. Seuss Pinball. Kole: Life is Strange: True Col...

We spend a lot of time talking about the need for the video game equivalent of short story collections, and What remains of Edith Finch is about as close to that as we've gotten so far. Edith is returning to her long-abandoned home to learn about her family's curse... which has resulted in the tragic, unfortunate, and sometimes hilarious deaths of everyone related to her. Each of the stories is it...

It's time to talk about a kids' show that we were too old for, but somehow are too innocent to fully understand. Totally Spies! Totally Party is a very boring party game, like only the early 2000s could produce. But its subject matter is a show that was entirely colonized by people who were Too Horny, and it's now considered to be an entry point for every fetish under the sun.

This week's episodes: Lil Abaddon, Montezuma's Revenge, Lil Portal, and Tainted Azazel

Magician Lord is an okay arcade game about a transforming wizard. That's not what's important, however. What's important is that we know that 2023 will be the year of the Buff Wizard, Who May or May Not Be a Frog Man. It's imperative that we embrace and hype this early so we can make it happen. Extremely ripped wizard. Possibly a humanoid frog. Strong as hell. Lots of lightning. Lovingly rendered...

With Ranni's quest behind us, we venture into the next chapter of the game as we head up the Coward's Path to reach the Altus Plateau. Whatever one might have expected of the land at the foot of the Erdtree, it's unlikely they were imagining a war-torn, fallow, eternal autumn. We talk about the paths up to Altus, and the little sub-plateau where the perfumers and a certain familiar Sage perform th...

This finale that wasn't meant to be a finale shows us what happens when Tuco's psychotic unpredictability meets Walt's completely predictable pride. Walt and Jesse have entered into a working relationship with Tuco that requires a change in which precursor they use to make their meth, so they set about one of the most incompetent heists imaginable. Also, the world stops to hold its breath as we le...

Because this December was a weird month, content-wise, we're bringing you an extra special, patron-only presentation: our third arcade special. We talk about four arcade classics, mostly from the 80s, and do some fond reminiscing in turn. We discuss Mappy, Paperboy, Strider, and Smash TV. Thanks so much for your support, and Happy New Year!

We answer your questions! We discuss Duckstream! We read your responses! What more could you want? Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

We just missed Christmas with this episode, but that's okay, because Silent Night Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker, has nothing to do with Christmas. Derek Quinn is a young boy traumatized by the recent death of his father, and his mother doesn't know how to help him. Simultaneously, a strange man is stalking them, and killer toys keep showing up... all seemingly related to a toy shop owner named Joe...

This week's episodes: Empty Heart, Astral Projection, C Section, and Cursed Penny.

We've spoken on the charms and pitfalls of FMV video games before, and we're happy to report that Corpse Killer falls well on the charms side. It's a dead basic lightgun game, making Terminator 2 look like Time Crisis, but it also has ridiculously over the top acting and a bonkers story. So instead of laying into it for too long, we talk about how it's driving us crazy that someone out there is tr...

This week we talk with streamer and Souls challenge runner extraordinaire, our good friend Lobos Jr. We talk about how Elden Ring is sitting with him nearly a year end, and how it compares to running previous games in the series. Then we read your responses to the Ranni/underground portion of the game.

Hello folks! We're back with another podcast, this time covering Uncanny X-Men (2011), issues 11-14. Let's dip into everyone's favorite AU and journey to the Age of Apocalypse, where we meet all sorts of familiar faces. Reminder that you can read along with and ahead of the show by subscribing to Marvel Unlimited (we don't get paid for you doing that, so it's not an ad, it's just a cool service)....

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about the games they played over Duckstream, and announce the 2022 Title of the Year. The Grind: Friday the 13th Vermintide 2 Golf With Your Friends Deep Rock Galactic Deceit
