Episode 72: A View To A WAAHHH

in , , ,

There comes a time in every video game podcast's life when they are compelled to stop what they are doing and ask "Sure, this game is great. But what's Waluigi up to?" This is that time, and today's episode is the output of that thought experiment.

Consider, dear listener, a sequel to Katamari Damacy starring Waluigi rolling up the Mushroom Kingdom. How about a version of David Cage's Indigo Prophecy where Waluigi is the AI messiah? Or, there's always just straight-up making Waluigi James Bond. I mean, nothing matters anyway, right?

Episode 59: Big Mr. I’s Spooky Investment Portfolio

in , , ,

With Paper Mario: The Origami King coming out later this week, we pulled in our team of expert RPG architects to help build the game's first (and best) DLC. It should also be stated that we refuse to accept truth and continue to tell ourselves that this game is going to be an incredibly crunchy RPG, baked with a deep strategy and complex lore. Knowing that, why not attempt to shove Bugzy from the Kirby series in there as a playable partner? Or what about that elephant from Yoshi's Story who stood there holding a sign in nothing but a diaper? No? Well then, allow us to pitch you retrofitting an entire subplot from Chrono Trigger in there? Totally works. No more questions.

Episode 57: Bouncing Around at the Speed of Time

in , , ,

Oooh boy here we go talking about the DC Universe again. We're attempting to being more thunder to this permanant-second-place franchise of characters by injecting them into some wild-ass 16-bit era games. Andrew bounces a rubber child through a magical mini-golf course filled with trees that also have faces, Kyle builds a white hat hacker into AMAZO to fight alongside Digital Mega Man, and Matt discovers that Ecco the Dolphin is the lost Aquaman comic that humanity needed.

Episode 56: Concentric Penguin Nipples

in , , ,

He's big, he's blue, he's probably diabetic and sometimes he's vaguely Creole...that's right, today's episode is all about the Royal Rumbler himself, King Dedede! We ask what would happen if we ram-jammed Dedede into some of the wackiest standalone comic runs to hit the bookshelves, and the answer is it feels...somehow right? Kyle has Dedede fighting alongside Thor in the Marvel Zombies continuity, Todd places Dedede in the center of the Spectacular Spider-Ham universe, and Matt says some things about Joker teaming up with The Mask (yes, THAT "The Mask") that make little sense.

Episode 50: Tony The Jet The Hawk’s Xtreme Gear Giveaway

in , , ,

Wow, Episode 50, huh? Here we are...a little bit older, a little bit collectively balder, and most likely a lot closer to death! So what better way to celebrate two years of pouring through the recessess of fan wikis then to return to the greatest fan Wiki ever: Sonic The Hedgehog. Time to set that "Days Without Talking About the Sonic Comics" timer back down to zero.

Episode 44: A Rear Without a Santa Claus

in , , ,

Following the announcement that Sakurai and his team are releasing more DLC characters for Smash Ultimate in 2020, everyone out there has been speculating who they think the next additions will be. We could certainly do that for you, but it takes a much bolder team of content creators to instead tell you who they think will NOT be the next DLC characters in Smash Ultimate. And God help us if they make fighters out of Longhorn from 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker, Bad Mr Frosty from ClayFighter, and Gooigi, an obvious pervert.

Episode 39: Tom Nook's Strungle in the Jungle (ft. Tom Zalatnai)

in , , ,

For the first stop as part of this year's Spooktacular Express, we're going to visit the delightful and whimsical world of Animal Crossing, where everyone is always happy, smiling, and certainly not murdered. So imagine our surprise when our passengers' visit was cut short by the news that Mayor Tortimer's dead body was found floating in the river covered in stab wounds. And it's up to us to find the killer.

Special thanks to our guest moderator, and all-around wonderful human Tom Zalatnai! Do you like an open discussion forum and improv comedy? Check out Up For Discussion. And there's no way you aren't gonna love Blasting Off Again, his Pokemon series watch-along. Ever feel the need to explore every single episode of Frasier? They're Calling Again is just that!

Episode 38: The Spirit of the Baltimore Ravens is To Win

in , , ,

Metal Gear Solid is a very silly game. Please bear that in mind while we explain the premise of this week’s episode is that the military has decided that it’s somehow up to us to stop all the biggest, baddest bosses of the MGS series by unleashing a single Kirby to lead us to victory. So now instead of a flame crown or ice breath, Kirby is going to acquire psychic powers, four tentacle arms, and a really big gun.

Episode 29: In Between Pennywise Thighs

in , ,

The Top Generals of the World’s Military need our help! The R&D department of Debate ThisI Corp. has been tasked with developing a new weaponized vehicle, so naturally we’re going to pull blueprints from games because that is a totally normal thing to do. Instead of boring old helicopters, how about the AV-49 Wasp from Halo? Why drive that tank when you could fire napalm from a reinforced ice cream truck? Bomber planes not providing the ummph you need? This warp star is guaranteed to provide much more explode-ier results!
