Episode 203: Kirby's Dream Course


Answering the age old question "what if we put our ball-like character into a situation where his ball-ness is a useful feature", this week's game is a unique twist on minigolf.  As Kirby mysterious maneuvers himself around the world, discover a host of small mechanics that eventually interlock into some truly bizarre courses.  Just kill all your golf-foes in the correct order, and save... Dreamland?  Your putting average?



A hole-in-one here requires a trickshot off the download.


Show Notes


(03:00) Tyler is playing Splatoon again.

(03:30) TSM still employs both Leffin and ZERO, though ZERO has been less dominant in recent years than Geremy implies.

(06:00) Zach has been playing League of Legends, because it is a time of year.

(14:00) Geremy has been playing Dokkan Battle and that alone!  World Tournament shenanigans abound.

(17:00) The assignment!?  Already!?  It's Kirby’s Dream Course!

(32:00) Speed Ranking!



Next time on Last Time, Resident Evil!

Episode 202: Castlevania Dracula X


The last game of our remake-themed month, this one's... special.  Once again, Ryu Anime Belmont dons his dramatic gloves and whip and sets out to save the inexplicably ninja Maria, who refuses to help him this time.  This is, really, a wholly different game than Rondo of Blood, but does it hold up on its own?



Whip right to that download.


Show Notes

(03:00) BIRDEMIC.

(04:00) With feathers.

(10:00) I'll be the one to say it... this looks like it belongs in G Gundam.  Unrelated: I want a Let's Play of Zach doing Cuphead.

(17:00) Zach's also been delving into Papers Please, as recommended by Yahtzee.

(21:00) Some preliminary thoughts on Dead by Daylight.

(26:00) Talking a bit about our experience with SkyFactory.

(31:00) Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor.  It's a weird... life/chore simulator?  Highly recommended for an odd experience if it's on sale.

(38:30) We talked about a lot of interesting games on this episode, but if I can only recommend one, it has to be Clandestine.

(47:00) Finally getting around to Dracula X.

(59:45) Rankings of Blood... X!

Episode 201: Mario 64 DS


What do you get when you try to control a game originally meant for an analog stick with a d-pad?  Basically the same game, but somehow a lot worse.  Maybe it's because the whole thing smells oddly of garlic; Wario is just too well rendered in this game.  Join us as we hop, skip, and constipatedly hover over the familiar environs of Peach's Castle's magic paintings.



More hat replacements than you can shake a download at.


Show Notes

(00:00) Dokkan Battle has conquered all!

(11:00) Zach also played some Fate Grand Order to compare to Dokkan Battle, the greatest game of all.

(13:30) He’s also been playing Xenoverse 2: Electric Boogaloo

(18:00) Saiyan Naming Conventions, all hail Dragon Ball Z!

(21:00) Tyler Finished The Long Dark and West of Loathing

(24:30) Geremy started Sonic Mania and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle but likely won’t finish either.

(34:00) The Assignment, Super Mario 64 DS.

(46:30) Super Mario Ranking DS.

Episode 200: Well, That Was Anticlimactic [Adventure Island]


We seem to be running into a lot of these "we didn't get the license so let's just call it something else" games in our queue recently.  Journey back with us through the dimensional wormhole that was the NES/Master System war, and witness the birth of a hero.  Golf Guy, the only Guy whose super-thing is Golf, sets out on a quest to avenge his parents after they were killed by a bad slice.  He and his companion, Caddy Kid, will stop at nothing to end the golf-themed threats of The Eagle!  What do you mean that's not the plot?

Also, Episode 200!



Quick, to the Golf Download!


Show Notes

(02:30) I listened to some of Journey Into Misery.  It's definitely worth a listen.

(03:30) Explaining the road trip game often played when Tyler's driving.

(08:30) Oh, Uncharted.

(12:30) MFL fantasy teams would be so much more interesting.

(18:30) A sweet jacket in the name of the stars.

(25:40) The aptly named Team Red Shirt.

(50:00) If you've got some time to kill, the top 8 in Gundam Versus from EVO.

(52:30) Finally getting around to the game.  You might say it's Adventure (Island) Time!  Young Master Higgins and his sweet baseball cap.

(58:45) Crack an egg, get a rank.

Episode 199: Zach Played the Game More Than Geremy [Metal Slug X]


Never before have we seen this much metal in so few slugs!  Actually, thinking on it, there aren't actually metal slugs in this game; they all seem to be energy pellets of some sort.  At any rate, there are now working graphics, tons of "vehicles", and a number of playable characters.  The same Metal Slug quirkiness, now sequelier and more functional!



The download that breaks the machine-gun-camel's back.

Show Notes


(01:45) An immediate tangent about Savage Dragon 

(03:45) Zach’s playing Disgaea 5

(18:45) Tyler’s been playing the smash-a-like Rivals of Aether

(24:45) Geremy has been playing the dangerously addicting Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle.

(32:45) The Assignment: Metal Slug X

(40:00) Ranking Slug
