Dig in!
This is a defeated man right here. At this time, my mother had suffered a series of heart attacks. I didn't have enough energy to do a whole big thing, thus the lazy first part of this. Not lazy, I suppose, but this might be one of the signs of the show disolving. I'm desparately casting about for ways to promot...

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about arcades, Kentucky Route Zero, and Cart Life.
If you're playing along, we cover everything from the Aqueduct to the Bridge (you'll know it when you get there, trust me).
The next episode will cover the Undead Parish and the Lower Burg. If you hit the sewers, you went too far!
Kid Kool is here to teach you the ways of love, as he begins our long and fruitful affair with bad NES platformers. Have you been good? If you died today, would you go to Jump Heaven or Speed Hell? We will all be judged, abjectly.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross crack open Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island.
Well, this game is delightful. It looks and sounds awesome, and is some of the best platforming to come out of the Mario series. Oh, and throwing eggs is great, too.
It used to be food or drink? Why not finally enjoy food and drink?

Kris and Kole talk about cinema, fantasies, and catharsis.
Hot air. No podcasts in LA. Wrong names for shows. Cagney and Spacey. Combuxtable Huxtable. Kole is shockingly underprepared. Pubic facts. Horse burgers. Magic McConnaughey. Robertson's Soul Saving QVC Sex. Rage Room. Wrinkly fi...

What a disappointment!
I'm a pretty big fan of this episode! Some ear wormy nonsense about "houses" in the beginning, a little bit called You Know What I Fuckin' Hate? that was going to be a recurring segment but never got repeated.
Then we have the first hot hot hit from The Metroids, a song called Make Way...

Oh! The place of many indignities! Jupiter's Thunder!
I'm balancing some serious and some silly here.
The first part is me recounting my experience with the NIU School Shooting a few years back, both in story form and in a song I wrote about it. I expand a bit about evil in the world, etc. High minded stuff for a ...

Welcome to Lordran. There's some stuff you should know.
This is it, the first episode of a podcast dedicated entirely to Dark Souls, and other Souls games. We encourage you to play along, and this will be a great starting point for Dark Souls veterans and newcomers along. We discuss the history of the game, the basic te...

Living it up while you're going down? Picture Steven Tyler making a series of tuna fish sandwiches, while you're suffering through a pretty crappy light gun game. That's Revolution X. Gary and Kole aren't pleased, but we quickly get off the topic of this game, glowing green skulls and all.

Frightful biology.
Probably a below average episode. The first half has a little pop screen nonsense and then something that can't really be construed as anything other than agism. But you know, ehhhhhh.
The song is probably the oldest thing I have recorded from one of my earliest bands, HiLo. There is a LOT of Hi...

Careful! She's right there!
This is one of my favorite things I've ever done. My favorite things I ever did with the show were to fuck with the show. This, the Slenderman arc in the beginning of season 2, the finale, all stuff I'm really proud of.
So, the first part I consider to be pretty impeccable.
If you meet someone wearing this shirt, unmeet them.
Fun episode!
As a porn enthusiast, I notice a lot of things about it. Like how it's god damned ridiculous. The first part is about that.
I threw in a song from my song-a-day project from February 2008 that eventually made it to my short lived but wel...
