On this week’s podcast, Dan, Kris, and Dean climb aboard the SAG Cartoon Express to discuss the Captain N: The Game Master episode “In Search of the King.” Why is the King SO MUCH older than his daughter? How the heck did he get stuck in the Mirror Dimension in the first place? Why is everything in this show credited to Nintendo? So many questions, and so few answers.
At the top of the show, Dan finally gets his diagnosis, and has a plan of attack. Dean gets kicked out of his apartment, but gets a new house in the process, or at least the promise of a new house, and Kris gets a new TV, and can’t figure out how to make it not look like garbage. Meanwhile, Dan starts working through the Castlevania series in chronological order, and Dean and Kris played some games too, but none as interesting as Castlevania.
Finally, in Week Old News, more layoffs hit Bungie, GameStop tries to drive home the importance of physical media while unceremoniously canceling their physical magazine, Minecraft meets Tetris, an unreleased Lemmings arcade port gets a cabinet, and more. Enjoy!
David Bowie's son takes a swing at a video game movie to appease the massive geekdom of Warcraft. We know the general population of China loved it but what these 2 dudes in northern USA?
On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris attack the 10 20 30 40 with renewed vim and vigor! Yes, preparations were made to try and streamline the process and hopefully make the segment more entertaining and less Kris reading lists while trying to stay awake. The bad news is, very little of note came out this month on any platforms. EXCEPT a Sega CD game with a fantastic title that’s hard to ignore. At the top of the show, Dan frustratingly didn’t hear back about his biopsy, but he did manage to beat Metroid Dread with a level of ease that positively infuriated Kris. Also there was some new stuff happening in Marvel Snap. Meanwhile, Kris pontificates on the joys of dealing with internet folks who have a loose grip on what facts are, and watches his kids enjoy the Nintendo World Championships far more than he expected! That new Rocket Knight collection is pretty snazzy too. Finally, in Week Old News, the creator of Save Me Mr. Tako has a new game on Kickstrater that looks rad as heck, there’s some long awaited movement on the Trogg Tech N64 Shells front, Nintendo strips Splatoon winners of their prizes and notoriety, AI continues to be used to steal from actual artists, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!
On this month’s episode of This Week’s Episode, Angie finally makes us watch the live action version of Avatar the Last Airbender. Meanwhile Evan chats about his pal Superman, Karen tells us about some Lady Parts and shocking to no one Kris talks about The Acolyte. All this and so much more!
On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris finally get back to the Alphabet Soup-er Series with Ninja Gaiden for sEga Master System. This is NOT the same game as Ninja Gaiden for NES, or Ninja Gaiden the arcade game, or Ninja Gaiden for Game Gear. This is completely different, but somehow also not? It’s certainly an interesting experience, but is it a good one? Listen on to find out!
At the top of the show, Dan finally got a biopsy done, and then came right onto the show post-surgery, because he loves you! He also spent a bunch of time playing more Metroid games, and got back into Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, because he was just having so much fun watching The Acolyte! Meanwhile, Kris gives his impressions of Rocket Knight Re-Sparked, Satyrn DX, and Nintendo World Championships NES Edition. He also beat Mega Man X for funsies, and got a new record player.
Finally, in Week Old News, the former head honcho of ScrewAttack decides to create what he’s calling The Real Game Awards, Aero the Acrobat gets re-released all by itself for some reason, a bunch of unlocalised Starfy games show up on NSO, Gimmick 2 looks great, and more! Enjoy!
Show Notes This time in A Theater Near You, the guys watched The Jacket, an intensely bizarre thriller about a man who time travels in a box. It’s simultaneously better and worse that that sounds. But was the movie any good? Let’s find out. Useful Links
On this week’s podcast, it’s the long overdue return of Trivia Time! This time, Dan has to face off against Guillaume from the Radio Free Nintendo Podcast and Matt from Geekade’s Turning Tracks to try and maintain his chokehold on the championships. Who will come out on top? What kind of stupid games will Kris make these people play? Listen on to find out!

On this week’s podcast, Dan, Kris, and Dean board the SAG Cartoon Express for a visit to the classic animated series The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. This wretched cartoon pits everyone’s favorite plumbers against King Koopa’s neweast ally, Mighty Plumber, A TV Action hero that he somehow tricks into thinking Mario and Luigi are the bad guys. It's terrible, but is it at least fun? What exactly are the logistics of the windows in this show? Why are there surf rock songs sung by the Koopa Kids? Who knows?
At the top of the show, Dan’s health concerns continue, but he’s at least a few steps closer to getting answers. While he navigates the US healthcare system, he’s playing through all the mainline Metroid games, or at least he would be if he could find his copy of Samus Returns. Meanwhile, Dean spent some quality time with some Vampire Survivors-like games, Castle Crashers, and Another Crab’s Treasure, which is apparently a lot tougher than it sounds. Kris, though, spent a ton of time with NSO, playing through Cobra Triangle, stressing out over Wario’s Woods, and actually enjoying Donkey Kong Jr. Math?!?
Finally, in Week Old News, chair tossing finds its way into the competitive Mortal Kombat scene, an old Satellaview promotional VHS gets remastered in HD, someone tries to sell The Guy Game at TooManyGames, and more. Enjoy!
