127 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 82 ratings

It's probably hard to find sympathy in your hearts for a bunch of career criminals. But c'mon, it's not like you wage slaves are gonna change anything about the world either, right?

In this stylized, action-packed, actual-play RPG show, five career criminals wake up in prison with bags on their heads and bombs in their brains. Will they follow orders and do as their told (probably not) or will they get those bombs out of their noggins and go on to Run another day? Realistically, that's a big ol' probably not on that last one too—In fact it's unlikely anyone will survive. But we don't know, because we haven't played it yet!

Oh, and, uh...maybe don't listen to this one out loud at work. Or around your kids. Or...y'know...the point is there are lots of swears.

Special Kamikaze Unit – Ep. 9: Passengers

January 24, 2017 04:35 - 41 minutes - 56.3 MB

They did it! They finally did it! No more surgically implanted explosives (except for Gable...) and now all the gang has to do is escape their original captors through a heavily irradiated hellscape, without the use of a cyberdeck, and with the MOST criminal of criminal SINs...and, okay, so Sacha's mom is still missing. Baldy still can't remember anything. Milligram has some brain problems. Galt is a walking overdose. And Gable is REALLY late for work. But as we like to say around here...it'...

Gable disrespects precious artifacts, Baldy learns something about herself, and the crew runs into some unintended consequences of their, uh, "Less Than Efficient" planning style.

Go Team!
