Backlog Brainrot

Our first year of the show comes to a close and our second begins! Thank you to all who have been enjoying our rambling thus far.

This time around Strawhat doubled his cleaning duty quota with Chibi-Robo, climbed the great Pizza Tower, and coped about the future prospects of BioWare by revisiting Dragon Age Inquisition.

Parrott got to Pokémon Violet now that it's "stable," experienced the relaxing duty of a border agent in Papers Please, and brawled his way through River City Girls 2.

Connor experienced mechakino with Armored Core VI right at the close of the year, binged Utawarerumono and reveled in its high volume of eccentric sounding names, and finally decided to experience Eternights for himself for the definitive take.

Have a Happy New Year!

It's the most wonderful time of the year and what better way to celebrate that by debating our top 10 SNES games. Arcitee and Daloofus join strawhat to talk about(and get mad about) all the games that made the list!

Still in a food coma from the holiday? Good, because we have another update for you.

Strawhat finally finished off the legendary trilogy with BioShock Infinite, was pleasantly surprised by the Yakuza spin-off The Man Who Erased His Name, and then found another reality show to watch called Love in the Wild.

Parrott got a dose of genie action with Shantae and the Seven Sirens, played the odd little indie platformer Demon Turf, and enjoyed the latest Criterion level Cinema Classic that is Mortal Kombat 1's story mode.

Connor came in out the gate with a hot take on Eternal Darkness, wants to spread the virus of Mosa Lina, and needs everyone to enjoy a little more Ben Stiller in their lives with Mystery Men.

There was going to be a multiplayer minute in there somewhere, but Connor forgot, so that information will be lost to time.

It's finally here. Connor, Daloofus, and Strawhat discuss the results to our top 10 Crossbell characters poll. Parrott may or may not have been punished for abandoning Zero

With great fortune guiding them, the lads made it through Spook Month with nary a disappearance or dismemberment but there were plenty of distractions.

Strawhat got into some grisly murder mystery intrigue in with Rain CODE, some very-much-not-that fun with Super Mario Wonder, and had pleasant yet brief journey to The Outer Worlds.

Parrott got everything he could possibly ask for this month with Spider-Man 2 and An Actually Good Sonic Game, then chilled with Spiritfarer on the side.

Connor meanwhile wandered around his library in an aimless haze but still managed to play through most of Zero Ranger, get through Phantom Liberty, and even complete some random pickups like Evan's Remains.

Join Parrott, Mokey, and Addi as they debate their favorite games in this seminal horror series... just in time for the spooky season! Try not to be too scared as discussion goes from chainsaw wielding maniacs to zombies, scaly monsters, biohazard creatures and so many more! Which game will be crowned number 1? And will there be screams of horror... or just anger?

Straw and Connor are joined by rising YouTube star, Rioichi, to get on the weeds recounting our experience playing this year's most grandiose RPG experience. It's hard not to talk about it when a game delivers on 100 hours of reactive, novel, and interesting adventure, whether it all works or not. So be ready for a long talk among long talks here and oh boy are there spoilers.

The Universe is filled with many seemingly paradoxical phenomena. Chief amongst them is the belief that your backlog will shrink.

Strawhat caught the latest Indie darling JRPG, Sea of Stars; finally got around to seeing what the fuss was all about with Hi-Fi Rush; and—most surprising of all—is actually enjoying One Piece (Live Action) well enough.

Parrott found another gem of a jump game with Poi; lived out the dream of "evicting" all of the rowdy neighbors with Party Hard; and threw around Mjolnir like a frisbee in Tiny Thor.

Connor had ADD and played like 3 hours of 5 different games, like Sonic Adventure and Lies of P, but somehow at least saw the credits roll in Starfield.

So pull up, relax, and catch up with the boys for another month as the holiday season begins its slow ramp up.

With the release of Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 coming up quickly, Parrott decided to gather three fellow fans to discuss all things Spider-Man. Radec, Moo, and Alexis help break down all the movies (with spoilers!), discuss tons of video games and tv shows, as well as talk about obscure villains like the Gibbon. Will Parrott lose his mind being forced to talk about the Morbius movie? Listen and find out!
