Ep. 819 – Darkman

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Darkman now darkens the door step of TADPOG with all its Sam Raimi glory. Per request of Ian after The Shadow, we watch this movie and play the game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Or NES. Am I trying to get more words into the intro for SEO? Maybe. I’ll never tell. We visit Ian’s Horror Hole, talk about Pee Wee Herman, hear the latest on Final Fantasy XIV, and discuss the raw tabletop power of the Circle of the Moon Druid. But there is lots and lots of prime 1990 Darkman content. So please, sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 818 – Sonic Blast

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Have you been blasted by sonic enough these past few weeks? No?! Then let’s starting blasting again with Sonic Blast for the Game Gear. We have some items to try, one of which is very thematic, the rest are just Tyler going out of town and buying things. There have to be dozens of people out there who are into this game so we most definitely get to it and and dive deeper than most people should. We also go off the rails with some goals, so this one is most absolutely one to sit awhile and listen to for some Sonic Blast energy.

Ep. 817 – Sonic Blast Man & Sonic Blast Man II

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Sonic Blast Man blasts its way onto TADPOG shores – not just once but TWICE! That’s right. We cover both Sonic Blast Man and Sonic Blast Man II. So we catch up from the last week where Dave had to go to Orlando on a work trip while Ian and Tyler worked in Paducah. But we all had plenty of time to reflect upon our time with these games. Not gonna lie, these show notes are very much a fusion of last week AND last week because above all things we have to stay on brand. We’ll still stay on brand with a great little Game Gear game next week. So please, won’t you stay a while and listen?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Sonic Blast, Man! That’s what we said we were going to cover this week. It’s not out fault if you didn’t pick up on that comma. And we were indeed talking about the slushy ice creamy treat featured at Sonic Drive-Ins across America – the Sonic Blast! Sooooooo, yeah. There may be a bit of a pivot in this episode where we do some blind ranked guessing of fast food desserts and fast food restaurants then, you know, that’s it. But there is still plenty here! We just had a make different preparations because of life. So this turned into a relaxed fit episode that we had a lot of fun with. So please, just sit awhile and listen! Sonic Blast, Man!

Ep. 815 – The Shadow

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The Shadow knows! He knows that this movie was such a flop (was it though?) that the game 99% completed yet they decided to scrap it? Only a few review copies went out to the ROM exists online for all to play. So we played it! We also just had to watch the movie along with it. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to Jake and Tyler try the newest Final Boss Sour, celebrate Brainy Jr’s college graduation, review Drop in Ian’s Horror Hole, visit Dave’s Den of Gaming with Knave and Shadow Dark, pine over Dark Man, and celebrate seeing Mearth. Will you? The Shadow knows you want to hang out with Jake and Tyler at TADPOG!

Rise of the Phoenix just ups, and Koei’s all over our day. That’s right. It’s another one of those Koei PC ports that are very crunchy, and this one is from its “Historical Simulation Series”! So, please, come listen to talk about everything else first before we have to dive into this game – we rate and review all the fast food macaroni and cheese options in Paducah, try some sauces from St. Elmo’s Steakhouse, talk about the latest offerings in Overwatch, discuss a Chuck Norris movie, visit Ian’s Horror Hole, debate some FF XIV jobs, and more. Then we discuss this game at a decent length. Won’t do us a favor and listen to Rise of the Phoenix?

Ep. 812 – Space Megaforce

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Space Megaforce, courtesy of The Randomizer, FORCES it’s way into TADPOG. Get it? We certainly did. This game turns out to be quite the surprise in more ways than one. But before we jump into the review – we talk about Hilary Swank, a Danny Devito movie, Suikoden, Vampire Survivors, FFXIV, and quite a jump into the long lost Ani-may I? segment. We double draft how well we may fight a few musicians and where we rank the fearsomeness of the most notorious serial killers and more. So please, won’t you FORCE yourself to sit and listen to some Space Megaforce, for us? As a treat?
