Episode 167: Neverending Psychic Nightmare [Psychonauts]


Gather your wits and steel your mind.  We're going in!  Another game Tim Schafer was involved in (maybe a bit more heavily since he was directing instead of writing), this one's a bit of a trip.  Come join us for some off color humor, strange visuals and... existing gameplay and storytelling.



To know your opponent's mind is to know their download.


Show Notes

* Disclaimer:  We had a lot of problems finishing this episode off because computers apparently hated us the last couple of weeks.  The ending is a bit abrupt because we lost the audio.  Twice.  Sorry for the mess! *

(04:30) RWBY vs. Twilight.

(08:00) Sentinels of Steam!  It automates some of the tedium of the card game.  That doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement, but it's really a fun game, we swear.

(12:45) Gameroom sure looks like a thing.

(17:00) I feel like brotherhood in Sonic games really shouldn't be dark.

(20:00) Doom is doomed to be great.

(22:45) Carl Gauss was such a badass.  Look at that smirk!

(27:30) Anaconda.

(38:00) There are a lot of interesting characters, but maybe too many.  Here's the opening cutscene for y'all.  Anyone out there like Raz much?

(42:00) Power progression and incentives.

(51:00) While the Meat Circus is much reviled, the only part I found super annoying was this every 15 seconds.

(56:00) Podcast dies.  Also, the game got ranked!

Episode 166: Three Dragons Aren't Better than Two [Double Dragon 3: The Sacred Stones]


Never before have Bimmy and Jimmy™ been capable of such great flying throws.  Be in awe of their ability to... be hit from slightly above, but be unable to throw a punch diagonally, so then you get stunlocked and...  Anyway, the two dragon warriors are at it again to save their apparently not dead girlfriend from the clutches of some sort of crime boss.  Also, to avenge their master.  Sadly, jumpkicking remains the best available strategy.



Triple the double download!

Game Time


It's been a while since I posted much of anything on this site but recently a conversation with the others has gotten me to do some candid video recordings. The first couple are DOOM 2016 and a level of Payday. I'm only linking the DOOM one here in this post.

I want to make a couple things clear, this is a M rated game and there is no editing done on me or anyone that I play with. This is important since the podcast itself is technically got a clean rating. These videos will most certainly not.

That, said enjoy

Episode 165: Paper Merit Badge [Paper Mario]


Paper so colorful, it'll have you seeing stars!  Never before has Mario gone on such a world building adventure as... oh.  Well, at the very least, the red-hatted hero will pick up a pile of sidekicks in this memorable stop on the endless journey to mildly inconvenience Bowser.



Legend of the seven downloads.


Show Notes

(01:15) Apparently it's morphin' time?  I kinda like the new suits, though.

(03:00) The original Jiraiya had unstoppable hair.

(09:00) It's a valid fear.

(11:30) Could actually be a pretty catchy ad.

(14:30) Not for the faint of heart, here's all the glory kills.

(15:45) Quite the improvement.

(24:30) Justified.  That's quite the ability.  Works double on ultra beasts?  Pretty sure we're talking about Meloetta here.

(27:30)  After some research, it looks like ROX is probably not actually a company name of any sort.  League teams do have the best names, though.

(28:00) Samsung's battery problems.

(32:00) Apparently the Wars series has been going on since Famicom.

(37:45) Neat storytelling tricks to build up the villain.

(43:15) Bow is bae.

(48:30) Combat mechanics.

(52:45) Man, do we have some things to say about Mystic Quest.

(1:14:00) Getting our ranking down on paper.



Next time on Last Time, Double Dragon 3, the least Fire Emblem game to be subtitled "Sacred Stones"!

Episode 164: He Shoots-- [Soccer]


Despite being the world's most popular sport (followed by cricket?!), there are surprisingly few soccer games.  What can be a better starting place than one that gets right to the point and says it like it is?  Dribbling on a square grid and controlling two players on defense at once can't be that bad, right?



Offside your way to a download.


Show Notes

(01:00) Vuves.

(02:00) Yeah, not really any new ships.

(08:00) 7 days to lol.

(13:40)  Lucha chickens.

(16:00) Wrestle with speed!  Still not as fast as the current record holder, though.  A number of glitches have popped up, apparently.

(22:00) Savage Resurrection really underwhelms.

(24:00) Who doesn't like hitting things with swords?

(34:30) Time travel!

(38:00) Button woes and blocks.

(45:00) Does this game make the goal?
