Ep. 854 – Willow (NES)

Willow! Straight from Josh Nance’s heart to the shores of TADPOG. It doesn’t help us get to the end of the SNES library any quicker but we all need to live a little. We can have a little Willow, as a treat. This one may sound a little different (very different in Tyler’s case) but Paducah was hit by a huge winter storm that left each of us stranded at our homes, so we have to record virtually. Just know that going in. We go right to TADPOG’s Book Nook, see what Ian has been watching, catch up with Bubba Drewski, and think about MegaDeth. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 853 – ActRaiser 2

ActRaiser 2, the factual sequel to factual sequel to the Biblical book of Acts has finally arrived on TADPOG shores. Tyler has returned to us, and he didn’t die this time, so he talks about his week away. We deeply discuss donkeys and their wedding presence. TADPOG Book nook arrives as Tyler and Dave discuss the books read for the week and what Ian has watched for the week. We’re fortunate to have BubbaDrewski back, fresh from his flight in. We do get very into ActRaiser 2 and a few treats. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to some old white men talk about video games?

Ep. 852 – Light Bake (Redux)

Uh. Light Bake. So we were going to talk about Actraiser 2 on this episode. But. Tyler had a bunch of important life stuff going on, so we decided to just kind of have a fun, “independent study” episode. So the bad news: Tyler isn’t on this episode. But the GOOD NEWS: we got Bubba Drewski (aka Dr. Ropes) annnnd Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley! This is a fun episode. We goof off. We try some snacks. We do a “Worst place to be trapped” Draft. We have a recording malfunction. Anyway…hope you like it! Light Bake!

Ep. 851 – Liberty or Death! (SNES)

Liberty or Death! or cake? Nah, no Eddie Izzard references here (for the moment). You know we love the vast field of minutia and crunch that are all Koei games, so surely we do even better with a game that relates to history we studied in middle and high school, right? RIGHT?! Plenty of time for all that, so we discuss Hardee’s, the overconsumption of alcohol, and a few movies we saw for the week. Lots of stuff here so won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 850 – 2025 Year in Review (All Calls)

The holiday season has come for us all, and with all the chaos surrounding it, we decided to listen to Taryn and bring back some calls. We clear out the entire backlog this time and start 2026 with a completely clean slate of calls. We discuss some movies, some current games, some books, and wrap it up with a great selection of calls to wrap of the year. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen to the 2025 Year in Review?

Ep. 849 – Super James Pond (SNES)

Super James Pond swims through the snow to TADPOG shores! Why snow? For some reason, this is a Christmas game, so that’s why we let it circumvent the Randomizer and get some love…or more likely some hate. You’ll have to listen or have listened to a few of our shows before to infer our general feelings about this sort of game. But hey, it’s not a sports or a Koei game. We try a cornucopia of gummy treats, talk about Paducah food, Beavis and Butt-Head, and more. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen? MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Ep. 848 – The Tick (SNES)

The Tick, at last, and through so many iterations – has leapt onto TADPOG shores. In true celebration, we stacked the co-host panel for everyone. Not only do you get all the common hosts, you get BubbaDrewski and Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley! We have to discuss a few movies, of the Rob Reiner variety, more commentary on the increasing Stephen King television library, the fantastic defeat of Clair Obscure: Expedition 33, and maybe a little Dudley more for spice. Lots to discuss in this one, so won’t you sit awhile and listen to us talk about The Tick?

Ep. 847 – WarpSpeed (SNES)

WarpSpeed crashes onto TADPOG shores this week. We celebrate with Ian’s 3D printing, plenty of what we have been playing, what we have been watching, what we have been reading and more. We even discuss what we will play for Christmas this year. What do we think of this generically named game that we have never heard of before? I guess you’ll have to listen and find out. So won’t you please download some sort of podcasting app on your phone, find us, subscribe, make sure you are on Wi-Fi somewhere so you don’t drive up your data, download an episode, then sit awhile and listen? WarpSpeed!
