Birthday Bashes, Mighty Morphin’ Battles & Horizon Adventures

Get ready for an action-packed episode as we welcome the "big dog" from Texas, Triple S aka Seb! Ever wondered how cultural differences shape birthday celebrations? Seb kicks off the fun by sharing some lively tales from his recent birthday bash. But that's not all—he dives into an exclusive hands-on review of the upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers beat-em-up game, offering comparisons to the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. From pixelated side-scrolling levels to Megazord battles, Seb gives us insights into the game's unique gameplay styles and longevity.

We shift gears to the vibrant world of indie games, spotlighting two standout titles. First up, "Big Boy Boxing," a game that brilliantly combines "Punch-Out!!" mechanics with the charming 1920s animation style of "Cuphead." It's currently available on Steam and promises console releases soon. We also discuss another fascinating indie game inspired by old-school Cartoon Network shows like "Ed, Edd n Eddy," featuring an open-world, side-scrolling beat 'em up design. Fans of Horizon Forbidden West will relish a deep dive into a 60-hour journey filled with side missions, new traversal methods, and the highly-anticipated Burning Shores expansion.

The conversation doesn't stop there. We explore the impact of TV and film adaptations on gaming franchises, highlighting shows like Fallout and movies like the Mario film that bring gaming worlds to a broader audience. Learn how Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and The Last of Us series have rejuvenated interest in their respective games. We also touch on the potential revival of old Activision IPs following Microsoft's acquisition, delve into the longevity of Wii U's repair services, and reflect on video game collector regrets. Join us as we express our heartfelt gratitude to our listeners and appreciate the invaluable feedback that keeps our podcast thriving.
