It's a two-villain pileup on this week's ORB! Baron Ünderbheit has sworn vengeance on Rusty Venture after he shirked his duties as a lab partner. This is complicated by the fact that Monarch has also sworn vengeance. And Brock is on sabbatical, dealing with the Six Million Dollar Man and his woodsy love interest. The odds ar...

You may be thinking, "Hey guys! That Capcom NES Little Mermaid game wasn't bad! What gives?" And you're right. The only crime that game commits is being too simple. This week, we're talking about the very bad Little Mermaid game made for the Sega Genesis, which looked at the Dam level from TMNT and said "hold my conch".

Freddy is objectively the most entertaining of the slasher monsters. But how could he get better? Sure, he has clashed with Jason before, but that's not a conflict of like vs. like. We propose a friendly rivalry between Freddy and Beetlejuice, where they can really sharpen their blades against each other... As long as Lydia d...

Kole, Ben, and Jala talk about Teardown, Manifold Garden, and we ask you what it would be like if your favorite game hero was a villain.
Before they hit it big with Halo, Bungie was a favorite studio for many Macintosh people because of the Marathon series. With graphics that were ahead of their time, fun and inventive multiplayer modes, and (most importantly) an intricate and sprawling story, there was a lot to like. But when played today, do its wid...

Thanks David!
This goofy episode on this ambitious, but somewhat tedious, SNES era simulation game was a balm to record on election day, and we hope it's a balm for you to hear. Follow Joao as he travels from Ibiza to Allentown in search of Atlantis.

How do you follow in the footsteps of the man who built the ninth wonder of the world? Not by pissing in your own boots. The Ventures head to Gargantua-1, a massive space station, to try and make the PROBLEM light turn off. Brock gets tied up in a love triangle between two weirdos, and the boys hunt down the Phantom Space Man...

Imagine, if you will, a kind of battling toad. Nobody asked for this episode, we just felt like talking about it. Rare's darling baby that launched a thousand memes, about things ranging from its difficulty to its availability in stores. We don't care for it very much! But we only talk a little bit about why the game doesn't ...

We've reached the end of our cut content series, for now. Dark Souls III went through some major changes, rumored to be caused by conflict between Miyazaki and Namco Bandai. But we may never know! What we DO know is that dedicated people like Lance McDonald have dug into the Alpha files for Dark Souls III and learned about no...

Cate Archer is the grooviest spy that ever was, and she's on a mission to save the world from H.A.R.M. and their burping biological billionaire bombs. This cinematic first person shooter was ahead of its time, with snappy writing, intricate levels, and satisfying shooting. The only thing getting in the way is bad, punishing s...

The Venture Bros would take some time to blossom into the miracle it becomes, but even this episode, directly after the pilot, is a monumental leap forward.

This survival horror/survival sim set in an arctic base is notable for one reason: It was made entirely in Blender, which is not a game engine. It would be like somehow making a JRPG run in MS Paint. Other than that, it's got a baffling "barely translated" charm... so instead, we talk about how Gary recently developed hypothe...

Note: There are points where some hosts audio will get kind of low-pitched. We're aware of the problem and trying to solve it. Sorry!
