Destroy All Children

This week: I played through Mortal Shell, we take one last step into the Gabagool Zone to discuss Goodfellas, and there are not one but TWO Retro Corners: Mafia and Pocky & Rocky.

Outro music: "Enough!!" by A Tribe Called Quest

Entering DAC Year Two, it's the same bullshit: I rant about superhero movies while George plays games from 30 fucking years ago.  No idea why anyone listens to this, but we're not going to stop. This is all we have left, and the march to our deaths, likely in a murder-suicide, continues unabated. 

Anyway, I watched Wonder Woman 1984, so I had to talk about that piece of shit. George is having more PS5 Problems, which isn't a surprise at this point, because that console is kinda bad. I also played Simon's Quest, so I have a mini-Retro Corner about that, but the Main Event is a Treasure showcase. Specifically, Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier, and Dynamite Headdy.

Outro music: "You're Izayoi" from the Dynamite Headdy OST

With the good must come the bad... And, believe it or not, this is not an All-Cyberpunk Spectacular. Not sure if you're aware, but a lot of shitty stuff happened this year.

Join us as we celebrate the best this year had to offer! Or, at least, the best ones we played, anyway. 

It's a packed episode this week: First, I give my thoughts on Harmonix's newest offering, Fuser. Then it's time for the weekly Cyberpunk segment, because of course that's still a fucking mess. Then we head back into the Gabagool Zone and discuss Martin (I call him Marty, y'know, because we're pals) Scorsese's 1995 film Casino, starring Don Rickles and James Woods. In Retro Corner, George decides to have a Sacred Cow BBQ and shit all over Secret of Mana. From what I understand, it's very similar to Morrowind.

Outro music by ME, I made it in Fuser. Suck my dick, Mozart. You dumb ancient dead bastard.

This week: more Cyberpunk 2077 horseshit! Hard to believe, I know, but the hits keep coming and they won't stop coming. We also take a look at the announcements from the 2020 Keighleys. But after that business is done, we head back into The Gabagool Zone to discuss The Godfather Part III. Then, in Retro Corner, the games du jour are Actraiser 1 and 2.

Outro music: "I Paid My Money" by Ben Folds, from Fear of Pop Vol. 1

NOTE: My audio is fucked on this ep, sorry. On the one week I didn't do an audio check, it decided to record from my wireless headset mic, which sucks, instead of my real one. So I sound like I'm underwater this week, but George is fine, and most of this episode is devoted to his particular brand of psychosis anyway.

So yeah, George bought Sonic Forces. Dumbass. And we head back into the Gabagool Zone to talk about The Godfather Part II. Other than that, there's the death of movie theaters, Cyber-Seizures, and in Retro Corner we get to reminisce about that joyful pink puffball of destruction, Kirby.

Outro music - "Help!" by The Beatles 

This week's episode includes: Nintendo's continuing shittiness, SNK going the way of Jamal Khashoggi, Star War Squadrons, the Xbox being able to play more PS2 games than the PS5, and... Jesus Christ... George watched the motherfucking Sonic movie. God dammit. I mean, look, it was only a matter of time. I knew it would happen eventually, he said he wouldn't see it, but he wasn't fooling anybody. He's a fucking Sonic freak. Here's some Insider Information about George Brundle: He's been telling me lately that he wants to buy Sonic Forces. You know, just to have it. He is adamant that he WILL NOT spend more than 10 dollars on it, which is still way too much, but I have a feeling eventually he'll break down and get it for more than that. He has a problem. 

Anyway, Retro Corner is about Mega Man X5 and 6.

Outro music: "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes" by Elvis Costello

This week, we discuss Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Watch Dogs: Legion, and Miles Morales. Then, in Retro Corner, the focus is on Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972). Now that's freakin' retro!!! 

Theme song by David Cassel

The PS5 is here, and we're here to talk about it. The good and the bad. And, unfortunately, I have a lot of bad to talk about... But it has Demon's Souls! And Miles Morales! Those are good! Just, uh... Don't try to run anything off of an external drive. And don't try to copy games over because it's a waste of time and you'll have to reinstall them anyway. And also don't put your console into rest mode. But as long as you avoid all of that you should be fine.
