Spoiled! - TellTale's The Walking Dead

September 18, 2017 07:29

I have to apologize for the weird audio degradation of the call within the final ten minutes or so. While it doesn't take away from the rather decent conversation, it is noticeable.

Episode 141 - Cool Lesbians

September 07, 2017 10:05

In a world of professionals, big ‘fucking’ guns and cats in banana peels, you realize that the only solace you feel are the cooperations of blocks falling rhythmically and wonder if things were ever actually as bad as you thought they were. The Cold War was settled and, all things aside, life is somewhat back to normal after a wink, prayer and some folk songs. But still you wonder… is this all? Or what if the Arrival was right all along?

Episode 140 - Emu-Fantasy

September 07, 2017 10:05

This week, how did Nathan do in his quest to get an NES Classic mini emulation machine? Tune in to find out. We talk a bunch about Capcom, some more Resident Evil (go figure) and how Owlboy is kinda meh. Yeah, it’s been a slower week than normal.

Episode 136 - Score

September 07, 2017 10:05

"But when fall comes, kicking summer out on its treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed. It settles in the way an old friend will settle into your favorite chair and take out his pipe and light it and then fill the afternoon with stories of places he has been and things he has done since last he saw you.” ― Stephen King, ‘Salem’s Lot

Episode 135 - Kyuzo

September 07, 2017 10:05

September 07, 2017 10:05

Episode 130 - Diggin' Trenches

September 07, 2017 10:05

A formal apology: it seems that our absence has created a rift in humanity that has resulted in racially charged riots, “gamers” being shitty people, “feminists” being equally as shitty people, celebrity pictures getting leaked and JonTron calling someone a name on twitter. We talk about all this craziness from the last month in one giant, 4-hour long fiesta… just look at how many tags there are at the bottom of this post! Also, what phallic foods are your favorites?

September 07, 2017 10:05

This week, Paul is underwhelmed but satisfied with Guardians of the Galaxy while Nathan cracks into his newly acquired Laser-Disc collection by watching Howard the Duck… and actually LIKES it?!? I don’t know but it’s obvious he doesn’t like The Sopranos: Road To Respect on the PlayStation 2 almost as much as Paul hates The Waste Land. Also, Paul retells a tale of burning toys in a fireplace.

Episode 131 - Don't Stop

September 07, 2017 10:05

Episode 128 - Tis The Season

September 07, 2017 10:05

Nathan has been getting into some stuff he can get behind including Shovel Knight, Mario Kart 8 and True Detective (again).

Also, some pretty flagrantly dismissive talk about some gross subject matter!

Episode 126 - Chinese Tourism

September 07, 2017 10:05

A new Transformers movie brings ire to Nathan and we learn what we look for when a Steam sale hits. Luckily, some Death Note and rewatching Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt keeps the blues away! Also, House of Cards might be the most well written show on TV? (It kind of has to be).

Episode 125 - Ernest Goes To Podcast

September 07, 2017 10:05

Hey Vern! This week Nathan completes his homework and talks about Mad City after getting confused about Neon Genesis Evangelion’s finale and pissing Paul off with descriptions of it. Also, who remembers Ernest movies?!

Episode 124 - Reigning On Parades

September 07, 2017 10:05

Nathan still is without internet, so because of this the whole podcast is recorded old school over THE PHONE! Where most podcasts might call this a lack of sound quality, we like to present you with a new “nostalgic feature”. Okay, we apologize if it’s hard to listen to because of this but please rest assured there is some good stuff here. Nathan sees that new Tom Cruise flick Edge Of Tomorrow and plans to blow up the internet after watching Transcendence. On the other hand, Paul enjoys a fut...

September 07, 2017 10:05

This week, Nathan packs up for a move and, in turn, has watched a bundle of movie not limited to but including Paycheck, Death Sentence, Olympus Has Fallen and 2012. But, it isn’t all “old-skool” as he also went to see XMen: Days Of Future Past. Paul, on the other hand, finally beats Dark Souls 2, plays a healthy amount of Wolfenstein: The New Order, Transistor and also has some first impressions on Watch Dogs (WITH NO “_” BETWEEN THE WORDS!). Also, is Lootcrate worth your time/money? Paul te...

Episode 120 - Parappa the Rapaport

September 07, 2017 10:05

Took a week off to collect our thoughts and coming back with the sickness (oooooh-wah-ah-ah-ah) and a 4.5 hour podcast! Site problems be damned, nothing will stop the podcast! Nathan visits an expo before getting grumpy about Amazing Spider-Man 2 while Paul gets a Wii U primarily for ZombiU and NES Remix 2. Into The Dark is a piece of garbage game (we explain why… just listen) and Sidney Lumet hated “teamsters”. Paul bores Nathan with an in-depth talk about WildStar (and MMOs in general) and ...
