Ep. 792 – J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Greetings, travelers! This week on TADPOG, we’re journeying into Middle-earth with a pairing of Peter Jackson’s The Fellowship of the Ring movie and the SNES game J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I. Yes, we watched the sweeping cinematic classic. Yes, we played a game where Hobbits die a lot—often hilariously. Sandwich Pope Phil joins our fellowship as a guest host to share his insights. Come listen to us explore the film, critique the game, and decide which version of Middle-earth we’d rather adventure in! J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings Vol. I finally hits our shores in both movie and game form. Also, someone pops in at the end of the episode.

Ep. 708 – Brandish

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

We’re back to a game and this time it’s Brandish! Heard of it? Maybe? We certainly had not. It’s got some pretty cool box art, do you think that translates into the game play? Check us out and see but before that we catch up on all the stuff that has been going on while we have been recording sessions of the Scott Pilgrim inspired D&D game. We talk about all the anime that Ian is indulging in, what media Dave has been enjoying, and how many papers that Tyler has been having to write. There is even a very special package at the end where we sample all sorts of stuff sent to us by Mr. Puzzles himself, Backlog Banisher Dane! So come sit awhile and listen to us babble about Brandish!

Ep. 621 – Super Adventure Island II

Super Adventure Island II

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Wizened Sage Ian returns to the podcast to guest host much like Master Higgins returns to Super Adventure Island II! Things are a little different in the second Adventure Island on the SNES, which is appropriately named Super Adventure Island II. This game is a little bit of a departure from the series (we’ll get into that in this episode), and it’s very similar to another classic retro game (we’ll get into that too). Come dock your raft for a little bit and listen.

Ep. 482 – Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Part 1)

Symphony of the Night

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

On this episode we further our quest to play and discuss every Castlevania game, and this one is a big one. Foretold years ago by the Necromancer Shaft, TADPOG would do at least two episodes of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Many heroes stepped up to go on this journey and those chosen today are one-half of TADPOG’s Sweethearts Josh Nance and Ruby on Rails Baron Paul Clewell. We have chosen our healing potions in the form of stout beer from Kevin Link. We sharpen our blades and manage to keep on track so we can give this game its due, and we also create the hero we all deserve. Cooter Belmont. Continue reading →

Get your candles out, it’s time to delve into the dark dungeons of Excalabria. That’s right, we’re talking about Sword of Vermilion, the 1991 Action RPG for the Sega Genesis. Additionally, Tyler reveals that he is an old man and Dave talks about how he almost lost his job. We figure out how Weird Science would work out in real life; there’s a Chuck E. Cheese story; we talk about an upcoming convention; and there’s a quiz segment entitled “Kim Jong-Il or Lil Kim?”.

We’ve done so many SNES games, TADPOG Nation, that it’s probably about time we did a Sega Genesis one. So hot off the Eventually List, courtesy of FelixDaKatt, is Beyond Oasis. We break down various elements about the game and discuss them as usual but we also talk about having your prostate checked by various doctors, figuring out how to take money and we answer some very important calls.
