This premium episode is about Jackie Chan's Stuntmaster, a PlayStation game that makes you realize that stunts are only cool when it's actual people doing them. A computer game character can, by definition, do anything its creator tells it to. But this middling beat-em-up provides a good springboard for us to talk about Gary'...

Nyah, see? Myah. That's mobster talk, because we're talking about a pair of ZX Spectrum games which concern themselves with various illegal dealings in 1919. The roaring teens! Establish protection rackets, run hooch, pinch nanners, flip gatorboys, if it's illegal you can do it all. As long as it fits within the "Lemonade Sta...

This week we begin our hunt for General Radahn, who continues to arrest the stars from his current home in the wastelands of Caelid. We know where to find him, but the trick is making our way to him across this blighted, rotted, poisoned land.
Specifically, this episode covers everything along the Caelid Highway from no...

Bugsnax is a cute indie that caught a lot of attention with its catchy theme song, but did you know there's a whole game behind that song? We play this cute combination of Pokemon Snap and Ape Escape, navigating Snaktooth Island and catching bugs who happen to be snacks. The goal? To help the townspeople and learn the truth o...

Each quarter we dip into our big bag of questions, find the ones that have gone unanswered, and round them up for this bonus show. This quarter we cover a variety of topics, including demo disks, whether or not we'd like to Total Recall all media, the importance of user experience, and much more.
Thanks for your support...

Rise of the Dragon is a perfectly serviceable first person adventure game, held back by some misguided action sequences and a predictable plot. Cyber drugs? You're kidding me! So once we dispense with the formalities, Gary regales us with a tale of his return to the All-American Magic Show. Sometimes you CAN step in the same ...

If you thought the Lands Between were already big, I would like to have seen your face when you realized that there was a whole other map waiting for you beneath the surface. This week, we begin Ranni's quest by meeting her at the Three Sisters rises, and work together with Blaidd to try (unsuccessfully) to reach the forbidde...

We're stretching definitions here a bit, but it's for a purpose. "American Movie" is a documentary about the amateur production of a short horror film called "Coven". It tells the story of its long and troubled process, all centered around its inept but persuasive director Mark Borchardt.
We've talked about indie horror...

WiiWare is an untapped market for us, and Gary brought in a doozie: a game about eating a lot in a very short amount of time. And you know what? It's not that terrible. It would at least have kept us entertained for a night in our dirtbag early twenties. So listen in and hear us talk about competitive eating, and learn a litt...

Having explored the Academy of Raya Lucaria, it's time to set our sights on the other seat of power in Liurnia: Caria Manor. All of this is in service of our quest to find the witch Ranni, a demigod who seems to be pulling a lot of strings. And to get to her, we'll need to deal with a whole lot of fingerspiders.

Wario is one of Nintendo's secret best weapons. As "the opposite of Mario" he is an aesthetic triumph, indulging in every vice and drawing us in with his shamelessness. And for a while, he was the star of his own series of puzzle platformers on Nintendo portable systems. Wario Land 4 is an odd duck in that sub-series, with a ...

It's the year 2012 and vacations are outlawed, so instead of just kicking back at home you engage in some car combat to cart unpleasant tourists around. Rogue Trip's premise is messy, and built on a genre that we don't really care for at all. But it might be a good idea to add some non-killing mechanics to car combat, so it's...

We're here, the end of the Venture Bros. for now. Hopefully. As long as that WB merger doesn't shake everything up and kill the movie. But we're going to think positive for now, and cover the DVD extras, read your responses to season 7, and offer up our firsts and worsts. Thank you so much for listening!

Dragonfable is the long-forgotten followup to Adventure Quest, and somehow it still runs, and somehow you can still play it. Cribbing heavily from the hyper self-aware diction of webcomics in the mid-2000s, this is a repetitive, grindy RPG that's perfectly at home on this show.

Sonic is back, and so is Gary's friend Will Hughes.
