Episode 117: Monkey! [Donkey Kong Country]

Seriously, coconuts hurt. This game, however, guns for fire them even if some vultures may huck them. Maybe that's where D.K. got the idea? At any rate, we're going into no country for old monkeys... mostly because they can't stand the music. Tag team it up with us as we explore the bizarrely segmented island of banana hoarders' dreams!

K. Rool stole our download hoard!

Show Notes

(10:30) VULKRAISER is a lot like Voltron, but not. 99 Spirits isn't the game Tyler thought it was.

(13:30) Wanna shoot and collect stuff Mega Man style? Mercenary Kings is great!

(16:30) Apparently Star Citizen is stalling.

(20:00) I wonder who "F" was...

(28:00) A Rare history

(32:30) Going over DKC's strengths and general mechanics.

(46:00) Promotions! Sim City 2000 is now level 3. Donkey Kong became a Grand Lord. The Mario Bros. are now a hydra, though I have no idea what item is necessary for that.

Next time on Last Time, Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest!

Swords and axes and bombs and claws!

Episode 116: This Deal Gets Worse All the Time [Super Empire Strikes Back]

I prefer the Imperial Waltz to the march, but I don't think anyone's going to be dancing to this game's tune. Now featuring voice clips of questionable quality, Luke returns to... spin jump a lot. Also, Hoth is a festering death pit, which makes sense. Why else would the Rebellion have settled there?

Down or down-not. There is no upload.

Show Notes

(02:45) Deadpool's trailer for his trailer is better than the actual trailer.

(05:00) Dr. McNinja is going away. Sad to see such sweet character design go away. In summary, go read Atomic Robo.

(18:00) Boss fights in Doom 3.

(25:00) Unicorns are real! Also psychos.

(37:30) Tauntauns of fun! This game is riddled with just atrocious level and enemy design.

(53:00) Ti-ti-ti-titenic!

(54:30) Rank this! Everyone's going to be angry at our ranking of Half-Life. No one, however, will be disappointed with our placement of Fighting Street. That's alright, though, since everyone can get angry about Monkey Island.

Next time on Last Time, Donkey Kong Country!

Episode 115: Double Sonic, No Ice Cream [Sonic 1 and 2 Master System]

Probably the worst entry to the Sonic franchise thus far is our topic this week, along with its much better "sequel". Join us on a 90s-tastic adventure as we attempt to discern whether the Master System could actually host Sonic games. Also, some other stuff. Tagline drop!

Tails pirated our download.

Show Notes

(01:00) Showing that we're definitely kids of the 90s by namedropping all the shows. So many, in fact, that I have to write a second sentence about it.

(04:00) Clearly blue is greater than gold. Speaking of which, much death, such battle. Wow.

(21:30) Tibia! It's (was) a game!

(30:30) Foreshadowing...

(33:00) Sonic time! The first one is a poor port of the first game!

(35:00) Sonic 2 is actually not terrible!

(43:00) Gotta go rankings! Crazy Taxi is crazy. Snoozing away is Kirby's Dreamland. Mortal Kombat finishes things off.

Next time on Last Time, Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back!

Our tauntauns are Luke-warm at

Here we've compiled a list of all the games in relative enjoyment/goodness to each other and links to the episodes we've talked about them on.

Episode 114: Escargot Around Every Corner [Alien Storm]

Fight some ugly nosed noble-tier aliens with us this week by... pistol whipping them! No need to waste ammo, kids. You'd really think a game with a Tesla Cannon would be cooler. Because EVO, we talk hit a bunch of fighting games before hitting those aliens, and we wander around mechs for a bit. In the end, we finally upset our ranking list a fair bit.

Like a bolt of alien lightning, our download shocks straight to the hard drive.

Show Notes

(03:00) Zero's last match at EVO this year.

(05:45) Woshige FTL.

(08:15) They Bleed Pixels! If you like really hard platformers, this is one for you. Also, eldritch horrors are adorable.

(12:00) Luffy can't be a thief; he's too busy punching things.

(17:15) Geremy's reactions to Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes.

(24:55) Some sort of aliens. It's like 3 mediocre games got smashed together! Arguable the best portion is a side scrolling shooter, which you only get to do once as far as we could tell.

(33:40) Starting the rankings this week with Fire Emblem, followed by Xanac. Bringing up the rear (but also really not) is Chrono Trigger!

Next time on Last Time, Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Master System!
