Hades changed Rogue Likes forever - S01E32
November 10, 2020 05:00 - 17 minutes - 16.3 MBFinally downloaded Hades and boy oh boy it's a goddamn treat. They literally took a genre of gaming and upgraded it in a way that made it incredible. The people at Super Giant have knocked this out of the goddamn ballpark. Any Rogue-Like that comes out after this should be ripping this game off and going from there. This is great news for the genre. Also, Biden is president-elect and it's about time we came together and listened to my podcast.
Bloodroots if you want another Katana Zero - S01E31
November 03, 2020 05:00 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MBPicked up Bloodroots for $2. Solid price for the game. If you get it at that price, go for it. The game is like Katana Zero where in you gotta clear the area without getting hit once. It's not novel but it's bloody and can be fun. However, Katana Zero's storyline and soundtrack were vastly superior. This isn't a game you stay attached to and if you want something like that, it's great for $2. Anything more and that's a conversation between you and your bank account. Also, the doom and gloom ...
Finished that 3000th Duel and I'm Annoyed - S01E30
October 27, 2020 04:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBThe ending to 3000th Duel really annoyed the hell out of me. Nothing worse than a good game ruined with a shit ending. Anyway, I'm trying to be hopeful that everything is going to be okay but clearly the end of this game annoyed the hell out of me. I don't know what I'm going to get into next so I'm looking for suggestions. So if you got any, please let me know.
3000th Duel sounds Political - S01E29
October 20, 2020 04:00 - 25 minutes - 23 MBStarted playing 3000th Duel and it's really fun considering how little the cost. It's a solid distraction from all the bullshit being voting season and politics. Also, an update on tooth gate. Then I also give plenty of opinions and spoilers on the Vow. You know the show about a cult in upstate NY.
Nothing Will Be the Same - S01E28
October 13, 2020 05:00 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MBGiving you the final results of Ori and the Will of the Wisps. In addition, I'm giving you the run down on how things are going to change from now going forward. It doesn't look good. Also, an update on tooth-gate. One more thing! I'm doing a give-away. Write a favorable review of this podcast and I'll give you a $5 Nintendo E-shop Card. Let's see if this comes to bite me in the ass.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps plus my own Will. - S01E27
October 06, 2020 04:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBPicked up Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Couple issues with the game that I suggest you listen about. Overall, I think it's a fantastic port over from the XBOX. It doesn't get enough shine on the Switch because the King Hollow Knight sits on top. I also got a few other opinions on other things too. Sometimes I wonder if I am the only person who is being sane about things... but listen in on my take with everything going on from Pandemics to Presidents.
Mable I am Lost in the Woods - S01E26
September 29, 2020 04:00 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MBDo I believe you dentist is part of an underground cult that is really stripping your teeth down with each cleaning? Yes and I will explain. Also, celebrity endorsements might also be a scam for them to save their money. Nobody is going to believe me on that one. I talk about Mable and the Woods. Finally, the biggest Indian stereotype isn't being a doctor but us being a guru. All this and no more.
Bloodstained With Multiple Endings - S01E25
September 22, 2020 05:00 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MBFinally got to the true ending Bloodstained and I got feelings about it. In addition, I get into my feelings but I get myself out of it by talking about comedy and inability to stab someone. When you play close to the heart, you're aware of not trying to get stabbed there. Does anyone even read this? Am I a Russian bot? All that and more.
A Message To My Listeners - S01E24
September 15, 2020 05:00 - 2 minutes - 2.14 MBThis episode is incredibly short for a reason. I am in agony. I'll be back next week.... hopefully.
Where Does Pork Go? - S01E23
September 08, 2020 04:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBEver try criticizing the ones you love? Boy, do they not like that.... you can't even do that shit gently. Anyway, I'm back on my bullshit playing Dark Souls and running through that game with great anger and furious vengeance. Also, I'm searching for a pumpkin non-alcoholic beer? Any leads? Let me know!
Back To Being in The Early 90s - S01E22
September 01, 2020 04:00 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MBReading and biking more? I'm not the only one doing it too. Granted it's a kindle and my phone is mapping my route on my bike but it sure as hell feels like the early 90s all over again. Also, since we're bringing things back, I have an announcement to make. I'm ordained and I am marrying people now. However, I'll let you know if I think your marriage is strong enough for my services. My goal is to get to 50 marriages and 0 divorces then walk into heaven. #mayweatherofmarriage All this nonse...
New York City ain't Dead, You're Dead - S01E21
August 25, 2020 04:00 - 22 minutes - 21 MBA lot of people got a lot of opinions about New York City being dead. That's very corny. We're in a pandemic. Everyone is hurting. If you want to see what dead is like, go visit some remote states. I was in Maine for a week and that place looks dead & buried by relation. However, Maine is a goddamn lovely place. It's a hidden gem and I think the people that live there are keeping quiet about it. I also discovered that I am still afraid of the dark. To be honest, we all should be. You don't k...
Violent Video Games and Violent StandUp - S01E20
August 18, 2020 04:00 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MBYes, I'm still in the middle of Dark Souls but more so I have been doing a lot of standup as well. I was even on the show where a big named headliner was assaulted. Wanna hear more? Listen in.
Love In the Time of Corona - S01E20
August 18, 2020 04:00 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MBYes, I'm still in the middle of Dark Souls but more so I have been doing a lot of standup as well. I was even on the show where a big named headliner was assaulted. Wanna hear more? Listen in.
Love In the Time of Corona - S01E19
August 11, 2020 04:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBI've been doing things that felt like the way life was before this pandemic. I've been safe about it but it felt nice to have that feeling for a little bit. I suggest you try it. I mean be smart about it too. Don't end up getting the virus and attributing it to this podcast. Sure, I could use the publicity. You know what? Lick a subway pole. Might change this podcast name to Blame This Podcast.
The Hardest Video Game Boss is My Ego - S01E18
August 04, 2020 06:00 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBYou might be hurting like me now that the CARES act ended. So we may have to rely on a loved one to help us out? That has to suck asking for a handout (govt handout excluded) or does it? I explore that ego feeling of having someone help you out. Maybe it's just me. But maybe it's also you too.
Dark of My Soul with Dark Souls - S01E17
July 28, 2020 05:00 - 25 minutes - 23 MBDark Souls got me wondering a lot about my life considering how considerate you have to be to stay alive. I think about being more present and there are points in my life where I was very present. I even tell a time when I used to intern at Radio America - the biggest Republican Radio network in America. Life brings you to all sorts of weird places and this is one of them. Tune in to find out more.
Making the Most - S01E16
July 21, 2020 05:30 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBFinished off Monster Boy this week. Solid Metroidvania but really looking forward to Bloodstained and jumping head first in Dark Souls. Also got thoughts on the new Netflix show, Indian Matchmaking.
Tell Everyone I said NO - S01E15
July 14, 2020 04:00 - 27 minutes - 24.7 MBTook on two games from the Nintendo Switch. You can hear my hot takes on them and some more. Also, I talk about the one powerful word that we don't celebrate enough as human beings. It separates us from the animals. In addition, I'm done with facade of trying to sound intelligent. Anyone else feel pressure to sound smart? Well, I'm done with that. You gonna get more me.
Choices Matter in Video Games - S01E14
July 07, 2020 04:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBFinally finished Xenoblade Chronicles. It took me 106 hours. I'll definitely look back at this and stop wondering why I wasn't as productive as I should have been. I got thoughts on the game and how it pertains to the choices we make every day. Anyway, I'm looking for my next game to play. Let me know your suggestions! No sport games.
THE BEST KIND OF GRINDING IS IN VIDEO GAMES - S01E13
June 30, 2020 04:00 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBI'm at the point where I think I should be almost done with Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. While I think about the next game to take on (suggestions needed!!) - it has me thinking about how far I came with these characters. In 80 hours, they went from barely squishing giant ants to taking on dragon type creatures. Could you improve that quickly? Maybe even something small like changing your perspective. This episode has me comparing video game characters to us in a bunch of ways. ...
NOTHING IS EXCEPTIONAL - S01E12
June 23, 2020 04:00 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBWent to the beach this weekend and boy am I burnt to a crisp. I have no clue why people do it and I got opinions on the matter. I also got opinions on children who "start a business" and why their parents deserve more credit. These opinions tend to form during the low points of whatever video game I am playing. That game still being Xenoblade Chronicles. Even the smallest tasks get me excited to play the game. The only thing more exciting? Making this episode that you're about to listen to. ...
The Furious and the Furnace - S01E11
June 16, 2020 12:20 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBVoting in New York City is like taking a test for a class I did not even know I was in. I filled out an absentee ballot and I was more stressed than when I failed my way through precalculus. Finding information on people running may literally be harder than finding a needle in a haystack. It's an open book test and I think I failed. Also, more Xenoblade Chronicles and a baseball game that is actually fun. Finally, people need to put their damn masks back on. We are getting too lazy. The othe...
Xenoblade Chronicles of Some Time Off - S01E10
June 09, 2020 04:30 - 18 minutes - 16.5 MBXenoblade Chronicles just dropped and boy oh boy this game is going to consume my life. I could not be happier to have this as a distraction. Be helpful where you can but when it comes time to hang up your hat for the night, this is the game to get. However, it is not without judgement. Listen up. Also, more giveaways because why not?
Play A Hour in Someone Else's Controller - S01E09
June 02, 2020 04:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MBFinished up Axiom Verge and I got some opinions. Also, it's a shame that I have to fix the world with my solutions but this lifestyle and video game podcast doesn't go hard for nothing. In addition, I am doing another giveaway and telling you about my free comedy special. I truly am a man of the people who is living off the government which taxes the people.
On The Axiom Verge Of Victory - S01E08
May 26, 2020 04:00 - 26 minutes - 23.8 MBIn the midst of going through Axiom Verge, I start to have my own train of runaway thoughts. Thoughts on Axiom Verge. Thoughts on my own Comedy Album and Special. Thoughts on Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. Even thoughts on The Last Airbender. But more importantly, is there another giveaway? Yes. Grab your controls and tune in...
Crucial Miss on Pay to Play Games - S01E07
May 19, 2020 05:00 - 26 minutes - 36.5 MBOn the hunt for something to occupy my time, I have moved on from Rocket League... for now. Currently on Axiom Verge, Old Man's Journey and the Mobile Pay to Play DomiNATIONS. It was at that point I discovered something that Pay 2 Play is missing that could change the game. Listen in.
Video Game Bugs - S01E06
May 12, 2020 04:00 - 27 minutes - 37.6 MBGIVE AWAY ALERT! Review this podcast and tell a friend to review this podcast and you get $10. Let's see how it goes. I started playing Rocket League and let me tell you, I stink. It's like playing sports as a child all over again. Also, I get into how video games need to capture on this buzz on bees and put more bugs in their games. Also, Japan solved the murder hornet problem. Tune in to hear the solution that I took from another podcast. I gave credit. Smh.
Trials of Mana and Me - S01E05
May 05, 2020 04:30 - 28 minutes - 38.7 MBThis week, I talk about a video game that I recently beat, Trials of Mana. It's a remake of a game that was released in Japan years ago. I also give you my take on remakes and nostalgia in general. Nostalgia is a money maker that everyone can utilize in their industry to a degree. Also, I have a $10 giveaway. Listen in to listen how...
The Games We Play - S01E04
April 28, 2020 04:00 - 25 minutes - 34.6 MBGoing into a deep dive about Trials of Mana and Link's Awakening on the Nintendo Switch. Do I find a way to tie it into interpretations with language and human understanding? You bet your N95 mask I do! In addition, I break down how advertisers are getting aggressive with the marketing. The constantly listening through my devices is the least of my problems. Listen to find out...
The Joy of Conspiracy Theories - S01E03
April 28, 2020 03:00 - 25 minutes - 34.6 MBThere is no better time to look up some conspiracy theories and revel in the insanity. Join me in the insanity. I also got vaccine theories. If you got theories, let me know! Best one wins 10 bucks. Totally serious. If I only get one theory, then nobody wins so tell a friend about this episode. The description has the bet. It's not mentioned in the episode. Also, I talk about getting Celeste on the Nintendo Switch. It's one of the hardest platforming games out there. If you played it, hit me...
What IS in - S01E02
April 28, 2020 02:30 - 28 minutes - 38.8 MBConsidering your next video game is a big choice! I have to consider my next choice and I hope you can help.

Come One Come Off - S01E01
April 28, 2020 02:00 - 26 minutes - 37 MBWhat better time than now to start a podcast?
