August 15, 2025 Episode 42 - The Act Man Acts Up: Death Stranding Review Roast
*This episode Contains Spoilers for Death Stranding Throughout. Check Timestamps to see the severity for each section. It is highly advised you do not listen past the Act Man Review roast if you have not, but plan to play Death Stranding*
In this Companion episode to our Season 3 Debut, we take one last drive by of the game start started us off: Death Stranding. This time, however, we have something a little different in our sights: The Act Man, as he is known on Youtube.
With the gift of time and the convenience of Death Stranding 2 having retconned many critics opinions on the first game, we dive into The Act Man's review and commentary of the first installment as he viewed it at launch. It opens a door for us to reminisce on how far the little strandlike that could has come from its early reception. Of course, Mr Kelly will not escape unscathed with a review this colossally braindead, however.
In the Second half of the episode we dig into some of the philosophy and political discourse that further surrounded the game at its launch and even today, plus answer most obvious question of them all: Is Death Stranding Pro-Life?

August 01, 2025 Episode 41 - Death Stranding: Smooth Walking Past the Critics to Excellence
We kick off season 3 with a hefty title: Death Stranding. In 2019, the title was the first release from the freshly-formed Kojima Productions. Controversy and confusion plagued the game even from before its release.
Was it nothing other than a walking sim? Why was it so bloody weird? Why didn't Sam talk? What's up with the baby in a jar?

These questions and more caused the game to be panned by most critics on launch. With the release of Death Stranding 2, however, many of these same critics are either pretending they liked the original all along, or suggesting that the sequel is radically different enough to justify their love of the second installment.

Join us as we discuss Death Stranding Directors Cut, its initial reception, and dig into what sets it apart from nearly every other game on the market as we begin our own journey through season 3 of the Deep Fried Gaming podcast.

March 28, 2025 Episode 39: Inscryption - A Mixed Bag Mired in Marketing Misleads
As we (slowly) approach episode 40 of DFG, we slow things down for a much more chilled out and deliberate experience: the 2021 rough like deck building game from solo developer Daniel Mullins (with help from a few others).
Scrolling the steam page for this game provides a pretty clear image of what to expect: a cabin, cards, death, puzzles, and intrigue. As it turns out, there's a lot more bubbling under the surface of this experience than the developer makes known in the marketing.
The game has become a smash hit by nearly all metrics and has grown into one of the cult "personality" games like Undertale that people will base entire parts of their personality off of.
In this episode we discuss the game in its entirety including its gameplay, story, mechanics, twists, and its pitfalls. Primarily, however we discuss the differences between the games marketing, the reality, and the gap in expectations that could ultimately lead to disappointment or frustration for unsuspecting players.

March 08, 2025 Episode 38: Children of the Sun - A Kinetic, Messy and (Short) Psychedelic Romp
Today's installment focuses on 2024's Children of the Sun; a frenzied but deliberate shooter that blends elements of Sniper Elite, Super Hot, and just a little Far Cry 5 . Join us as we pick apart this games mechanics, presentation, and short length.
Further, we discuss the price to playtime proposition of games like this and others. How much playtime should you get per dollar spent? Is time or money the more valuable currency? What is the factor that most effects their value? Finally, is Children of the Sun a good price to playtime value?

May 07, 2024 Episode 37: Journalist Pulls Sexism Card After Mediocre Warhammer Store Experience
*DISCLAIMER: This episode is made for entertainment and critique purposes ONLY. Bullying or Harassing the Author of this article in any way is entirely unacceptable. Be an adult, listen to the podcast, and go about your day like a well-adjusted person, please.*
In episode 37, we dive into another review roast. This time, surprisingly, not from Kotaku but gamesradar. Our journalist today tells the account of a fateful trip into a Warhammer store and the horrific experience that destroyed her "voracious" appetite for TTRPGS for nearly 8 years.
Join us as we discuss the true meaning of the word "voracious" (and why it's the linchpin of the entire article), discuss TTRPG culture, body positivity in the community, shame, piss-poor customer service, victim blaming, misread social situations, and many more questionable topics in order to get to the bottom of today's case entitled: "was our friendly neighborhood journalist victimized by a sexist neckbeard or just a socially stunted, impatient nerd with next to no customer service skills".

March 22, 2024 Episode 35: Ghost Recon Wildlands - A Messy, Modern Ubisoft Classic
In 2018, a ragtag squad of degenerates set out into the wilds of Bolivia for the first time without a clue of what was waiting for them. Blood-brother pacts were formed, friendships cemented, and podcasts were etched into the stones of future fate.
This episode is a look back on Ghost Recon Wildlands and how it influenced us. We examine all the things that made it special at the time and to this day. We reminisce on the triumphs of flawless team work, chaos of incompetence, and all the finer details of what made both such a joy.

November 20, 2023 Episode 34: Ori and the Blind Forest - A Picture Perfect Platformer with Mechanics to Match
Bashing into our 34th episode slot is a 2015 game from Moon Studios. Centering on a baby Night Fury and taking place in a woodland of incredible beauty, Ori and the Blind Forest is an easy sell at face value.
The game was an Xbox and PC exclusive for years until a Nintendo Switch port was released in September 2019.
In this episode, we take the ride through the Definitive Edition and examine the game's draws and drawbacks to uncover what makes this game such a gem.

November 14, 2023 Episode 33: Polygon Journo Thinks Detroit: Become Human Has TOO MANY BUTTONS - Review Roast
**This episode contains light spoilers throughout its entirety. Most pertain to general themes of Detroit: Become Human and the characters within, however, a few reveal specific story beats. The larger spoilers are marked below in the timestamps. Anyone seeking to enter Detroit: Become Human completely blind should avoid listening to this episode**Episode 33 brings us to a companion episode on our review of Detroit: Become Human. We largely praised the game for its fantastic storytelling and compelling characters, but it seems not all were so like-minded. Introducing: Allegra Frank, an ex-writer for Polygon and current editor at thedailybeast. She is none too pleased with the writing of the game or its prominent use of buttons. In an article entitled "Detroit: Become Human tackles civil rights without a grasp of history", she airs her grievances over the game and what she feels to be a poor depiction and implementation of political messaging.In today's episode, we delve into the article in its entirety and explore why Allegra's reasoning and complaints are so severely flawed that they make Beetlejuice answering arithmetic questions on the Howard Stern Show look like one of the world's top thinkers.Original article: Polygon.com//Author: Allegra Frank - Original Article*Bullying or harassing the author of the original article or any other figures discussed in this episode is strongly discouraged and entirely unacceptable.
