Ep. 821 – Conan (NES)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Conan! What is best in life?! Not this game. It most definitely crushes Tyler, Dave, and Ian, drives us out before it, and hears the lamentations of our wives. That’s just Conan for the NES. What do we think of the 1982 hit, Conan the Barbarian? A lot more. So please, come hear us chat about a few horror movies, primarily Clown in a Cornfield. We explore more of the new Final Fantasy XIV expansion. Burlios caught a mouse and it was a thing.

Ep. 820 – Total Recall

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Total Recall! Did we do this before? It’s okay if you don’t totally recall. See what I did there? Well, we jump right in here to continue to do some NES games based on 80s/90s movies with this one here. We visit Ian’s Horror Hole right off with a long list of movies. We discuss the differences in roadhouses, both Texas and Logan’s. Opinions on the Switch 2 and staples are delivered. The Karate Kid and Sinners are seen and talked about then we talk quite a bit about the movie, play an improv game, then get to the NES game. If you enjoyed Total Recall then this is the episode for you. So please, come 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. 811 – The Jetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The Jetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates, ever heard it? A true gift from the Randomizer since none of us had ever heard of it or seen it. So in celebration we do a retro futurism draft, discuss some Dungeon Crawler Carl, we get an update on Dave’s gaming mouse woes, discuss what we’ve been playing then jump right into some good old Jetson’s content. This may be a bit of a surprising one, so won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 808 – Super Troll Islands

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Super Troll Islands, that’s right. ISLANDS. Plural. So many islands of souless hairy troll faces with their butt jiggly up and down ladder. That’s not me just being weird. THAT IS AN ART ASSET FOR THIS GAME. That makes you need to listen, right? In addition to all this ridiculousness, we do a deep dive back into the 90s with a 20 spot draft of popular trends from the decade. We saw a few movies, we played a few games, we talk about them. Then we dive head first into the warm, colored waters of the Super Troll Islands. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 801 – The Untouchables

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The Untouchables somehow was missed in our movie games line-up (we eventually figure out why) so we agitate that gravel back to old haunts (a one week break) to the old movie and game plan! Before we talk about this Oscar award winning movie we discuss some Overwatch 2, a little Marvel Rivals, some Final Fantasy XIV expansions, a bit of the old Baldur’s Gate 3, and draft some fictional gangsters. Then we talk quite a bit about the movie and do a deeper dive into this game than any review magazine ever did. Our new Zine Lord has the stats to prove it. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to this episode on The Untouchables?

Ep. 794 – Toy Story

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Toy Story is a true tale of gripping mythical science on the autonomy of spirit, the self-actualization of non-human entities, and the rules of engagement they have pre-conceived as a survival mechanism against a more dominant society of war-like god beings known as “the humans.” Or something like that. I saw the movie a long time ago. Come listen to us talk about it, the rules that govern it’s existence, and even more about the SNES game about it! We talk about some anime first, a few games, a few movies, and even try to latest round of sour candy. Some please, come sit and enjoy a podcast all about Toy Story (and a little about Cars and how it makes us feel.)
