Jerry Seinfeld decided it was important to come out of practical retirement to create a film about cereal companies as a metaphor for the Cold War. Yeah, we are just as confused as you.
On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the June 10 20 30 40! What notable games were released in June 2014, 2004, 1994, and 1984? Was this yet another wretched month of bland releases, or were there a few gems worth DIGGING up? Why yes, that was a Shovel Knight reference! There were actually several great releases this time around, including Saturday Night Slam Masters, Donkey Kong for Game Boy, the Frolfing joys of Ribbit King, and more!
At the top of the show, Dan’s health concerns get all the more frustrating, as he still doesn’t know the extent of what’s wrong with him. Hopefully we find answers soon. But on the plus side, he spent some time dusting his massive action figure collection! Meanwhile, Kris got a new outdoor pizza oven for his birthday, created a live-action Among Us game for his kids to play, and spent some quality time with Super Mega Zero.
Finally, in Week Old News, Capcom is still making money from that wonderful/terrible Street Fighter movie, Atari 50 gets a bunch of new content, someone calling himself Dr. Disrespect gets in trouble, and more. Enjoy!
On this month’s episode of This Week’s Episode, Karen sees dead boys detect things. While that’s happening Angie shares a beautiful moment with the Last of Us, Evan starts a rewatch of Fringe and Kris talks about Shorsey and The Acolyte (A lot). All this and so much more!
On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris conclude their coverage of the summer games extravaganza they lovingly refer to as Not E3! This time around, Nintendo hit it big with their June Direct, including a number of big surprises like a new Mario & Luigi, Zelda starring Zelda, and Metroid Prime 4. Atooi also farted out a rather unimpressive Hatch Tales deepdive, Limited Run got weird with this year’s LRG3, and Sunsoft made a 6 minute presentation about 3 games. Which was certainly a choice.
At the top of the show, Dan still doesn’t have news about his ongoing health issues, but he did manage to be stressed about it all week! So instead of playing games, he talked about the trials and tribulations of being a toy collector. Meanwhile, Kris celebrated his birthday week with some delicious food, Game Boy Mega Man games, and the glory that is Shovel Knight Dig. .
Finally, in Week Old News, FromSoftware decides NOT to fire a bunch of people, a bunch of long thought lost games resurface for various platforms, someone has decided to port Doom II to Super NES, and more. Enjoy!
On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris continue their coverage of the summer games extravaganza they lovingly refer to as Not E3! This time around, they have a crazy number of showcases to break down, including the Future of Play Direct, Women Led Games Show, Ubisoft Forward, and honestly way too many more. So their summaries of many were cut a bit short because there’s just now ay to cover THAT many games. They did, however, dedicate the appropriate amount of time to the biggest show of the week, the Xbox Games Showcase. After Sony’s lackluster showing earlier this month, was Microsoft able to make the best of their time in the spotlight? Just how manly is Joanna Dark’s jawline? (Hint: the internet is full of goons). What other amazing games will we all be looking forward to? Let’s find out! At the top of the show, Dan gives us another update on his ongoing health issues, including numerous bouts of frustration with an inability to get actual answers. Meanwhile, Kris spent the week frustrated and tired. So good times were had all around! Oh, and then there’s this dreadful song that his son has been listening to, and now you have to as well. Finally, in Week Old News, the first North American Nintendo commercial may have been unearthed, the PC gaming community continues to be as impressive as they are fast, a Kickstarter for a new NWC cartridge gets unsurprisingly shut down, a woman is arrested for smuggling an absurd number of Switch games in her bra, and more.
