Haven: Call of the King is a PS2 platformer that doesn’t want you to think it’s a platformer. It wants you to think it’s anything and everything all at once. That’s why they don’t want you to call it a “platformer”, they want you to call it a “FreeFormer”. Which is… hey listen, we’re really sorry about this one, a lot of the episode is dedicated to trying to figure out how to get Gary a wheelbarrow. We fucked it up. Give us a chance again next week.

Don't worry everybody, Mike has a very complicated plan. Jimmy gets arrested.

Kaye, Ben, Dennis, and Jala talk about Super Battle Golf, Expelled!, The Drifter, and much more!

The Grind:

• Jala: Cyclopean II: The Dreamlands and The Bagman (demos). The Dark Queen of Mortholme. Expelled!. The Drifter.

• Dennis: Marathon. Slay the Spire 2. iRacing.

• Kaye: Marathon. Super Battle Golf. Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake.

• Ben: Mewgenics.

The Multiplayer:

• What kind of game do you like even though you’re bad at it?

The End Boss:

• PlayStation price hikes hurt everyone.

• Star Wars: Zero Company looks neat!

• Fan makes Buffy text adventure in attempt to revive revival.

• MindsEye studio CEO blames terrible game on saboteurs.

Everyone's favorite sci-fi idiot is back and this time there are MORE zombies or whatever. Dead Space 2 iterates on the rough edges of Dead Space 1, but it does it ultimately move the needle? The game remains as dedicated as ever to it's third-person in-world HUD, but we must question whether that actually makes things any scarier.

Finally, the show Bryce Salads and Brent Sticks have been itching to create for weeks: A page-by-page discussion of every page on the wiki for the 1990 film Ghost.

Nickelodeon was at the height of their powers in the 90s when they decided to start throwing more and more Nicktoons down the chute. This led to them trying to capture the grotesquery of Ren & Stimpy without any of its transgression. Thus, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters was born, a show about monsters who live in a dump trying to learn to scare humans. This predated Monsters, Inc. by several years, but still feels derivative of that movie!
