Episode 190: Not Enough Bombs and Too Many Jacks [Mighty Bomb Jack]

Nothing can stand up to your mighty bombs!  Wait... That's Bomberman.  Bomb Jack mostly... jumps.  And opens treasure chests.  A true hero for the ages.  Wade through exceedingly random enemies while collecting either bombs or treasure chests, depending on the current flavor, and avoid... the Torture Room.  Unless you're into that.

(02:15)  The Steam value calculator Tyler mentioned, with his account as a sample.  Damn you, Star Wars bundle!  And Humble Bundles!

(05:45) Some regular ol' Gurumin.

(08:30) Zach's initial thoughts on Super Robot Wars OG: The Moondwellers.

(16:00) The first of, presumably, many ill-advised purchases. Very ill-advised.

(27:00) Geremy's thoughts on his second attempt at Persona 5.

(32:00) Persona 3 yourself.

(46:00) Gratuitous?

(48:00) Mighty Bomb Ranking!

Episode 189: I Wish This Was FF6 [Golden Sun]

When the world needs a hero, it looks to the JRPG protagonist: stolid, inoffensive, generally teenaged.  Throw in some magic spirits that can be swapped during combat to summon giant monsters, and a sprawling overworld, and you've got yourself a solid game.  Will Isaac save the world?  Will our narrators quit out of boredom before that happens?

Show Notes

(02:00) Zach’s only human, so he’s playing Mass Effect Andromeda

(21:00) Shovel Knight, Available on Steam with all DLC included for free!  Also every console.

(22:30) Team Four Star Does Dragon Ball Super.

(24:00) Dragon Ball Super!  If you only watch one episode, Geremy highly recommends this one.

(26:00) The assignment, Golden Sun.

(34:00) All About Random Battles

(49:00) Here’s our episode on the superlative Final Fantasy VI since we’re comparing them so much.

(55:00) It's Ranking Time!


NOTE: A quick correction here.  Zach played the wrong game, so we're not doing Fantasy Zone 2 next week.

Next time on Last Time, Mighty Bomb Jack!

Episode 188: Now Bikes Think They're Philosophizers [Enduro Racer]

Nothing is a metaphor for life quite the way racing over various obstacles within time limits is -- apparently.  Wheelie over jumps, dodge rocks, and pass other racers in your frantic attempt to make it to the finish line before there's no time left to try.  This is an experience that can only leave you thinking "Yay bikes".


Downloads are a metaphor for sound-noises.

Episode 187: Stars of Rage [Mario Party 2]

Famous for destroying hands and friendships, our first look at Mario Party was made infinitely better by actually getting together and playing it.  Featuring... adjectiveless minigames and actually amusingly themed boards, this game steps in to fill the niche of people who want to hang out and play video games, but nothing too serious, right?

Show Notes

(00:45) For people who can not see through their ears, Kevin was wearing this hat and this shirt.

(02:45) A rundown of what Kevin's been watching.

• Boko no Hero Academia, a show one reviewer claimed was "the future of shonen"
• KADO: The Right Answer, described as "a good TV show"
• Love Tyrant, which is "complete and utter trash; but you'll love it for it"
• Berserk, whose "CGI....hurts a bit"
• Attack on Titan.  Just watch that intro if you haven't yet.
• Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor, which apparently has a bad first episode, so just stick with it, guys
• The Royal Tutor, a well-crafted comedy
• Alice & Zoroku, tagged as "Old Man Gets Thrown into Magical Girl Genre".  Frankly, I want to watch that one
• Eromanga Sensei: exactly what it sounds like
• Tsugumomo
• Sakura Quest, a delightful looking show about a bunch of women have a quarter life crisis and transitioning into tourism
• Clockwork Planet, a "clockpunk fantasy"
• KADO: The Right Answer, which I'm describing as Big O with an alien and fewer robots
• Hinako Note, a "moeblob slice of life"
• Kenka Bancho Otome -Girl Beats Boys-, basically Mulan
• Tsukigakirei, subtitled "as the moon, so beautiful".  Looks like a decent slice of life romance
• WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?, winner of the most ridiculous title award

(04:00) The most exciting library adventures available!

(09:30) I'm not cutting this; open source anime time!

(11:30) Royal Tutor's theme.

(12:15) Dead Cells!  Also NeverDead, since Zach mentioned it.

(30:00) Zach's playing Dark Souls 3.  We died of shock.

(33:15) Aw, rats.

(43:00) Poor Toes.

(48:00) Tyler's finally playing Persona 3.  We died of shock again.

(58:30) Not sure if it's the right scene, but having your future daughter throw a smoke bomb works fine.

(1:04:00) Our Let's Play of Mario Party 2 was mildly entertaining.

(1:14:00) Will this game be the party star?!


Next time on Last Time, Enduro Racer!

Battetech Time

The beta for the Battletech game I kickstarted is out now. I've been spending a bunch of time playing it and wanted to share a little of that experience with all of you. Enjoy, I may be doing a few more of these we'll have to see.

Let's Play on Video Games, Mario Party 2

Hey fans, apologies for the lack of content recently, snow, busy schedules and work have kept us from recording lately.  We promise a new episode next week, featuring Mario Party 2, the classic game where you roll virtual dice and yell at your friends!  In the mean time, we've managed to record a Let's Play of the game to capture some multi player magic, hopefully that will hold you over until next week when we release our full episode!
