Episode 176: Bubbling Through Your Own Shield [Bubble Bobble & Space Invaders]

What do side-scrolling aliens and bubble-spewing dragosaurs have in common?  No one's really sure, but there must be something, because the same company made games about both and this episode is about both, too.  Illuminati confirmed!  Also... triangle ships, I guess?  Anyway, evidence abounds, just as we'll be rebounding off of various obstacles on our quest to turn our space ship back into a real boy.

Show Notes

(01:30) Mildly NSFW, Charisma Potion.  It's pretty good.

(03:30) Duel Links: Tyler tested, Geremy disapproved.

(13:00) Ignoring the "hinges on lack of ditto" thing, it's a pretty good theory.

(19:30) Keep it klassy, Kombat.

(29:30) Because the people who made this show were dorks.

(32:30) Invading the ranks.

(40:00) Taito: And now for something completely different.

(45:45) I dunno, this doesn't sound like I'm fighting to redeem my humanity.

(47:00) Bust-A-Move is definitely the match 3 game we were thinking about.  Also, ranking the Bubbs and the Bobbs.


Next time on Last Time, Metal Marines, the lost episode returned!

Episode 175: Fu-Sion-Ha-ha-ha-ha [Impossible Creatures]

In a world where fusion is not just a cheap tactic to make weak animals stronger, some crazy people thought it would be a good idea to invade a geologically confusing island chain and create some of these fusions.  From tiger-scorpions (tigions?) to wolf-mantises (mantolfs!), our 1920s action hero will use a variety of abominations to nature to help discover the mystery of his crazy-scientist-father's past, and maybe his own true nature.

(04:10) Gal*Gun Double Peace: Watch at your own peril!  18+

(05:00)  Here’s the Mutant League Football Kickstarter if you’re interested.

(11:00) And here’s the total on the BattleTech and Yooka-Laylee Kickstarters.  Both made an unreasonable amount of money.

(15:30) Escape Rooms!

(20:00) Impossible Creatures!

(24:30) The opening cut scene.  The name is actually Rex Chance.

(26:00) I was going to link the opening to NASCAR Racers, but it’s so terrible I refuse to subject anyone to that pain.

(35:00) Ranking the impossible.

(41:30) Extra Credits on Super Mario Bros 1-1.

Episode 173: Rock, Paper, Helicopter [Advance Wars]

Of course, the big guy makes melee guns hit harder, what else would he do?  And that guy constantly making verbal snipes?  He's also adept at making physical snipes... transitively through his units.  Obviously.  Enter the world of wars that seem to be progressing, or maybe proceeding.  On the square grid of conflict, only one quirky character can triumph!

Show Notes

(01:30) Over the Garden Wall is great, and that's a rock fact!

(09:00) The Joker and Trump.

(09:30) Eh, it's better than dying of ennui.

(27:30) Not strictly Atlus, but Disgaea 2 is on Steam now.  Also, more Frog Fractions, now with more fairies.

(29:30) A mostly functional RTS about the history of Egypt.

(31:30) Wars that are advanced may include tanks.

(37:00) CO powers sound like that.

(41:30) You're a Chinook.  Your mom's a Chinook!
