Beast Wars: Transformers is an ugly show, and the PlayStation game based on it is even uglier. It’s a little bleak to consider that the cheap animation of the 80s cartoon is the best that these robots would ever look. So instead, Gary proposes a new sex move called “Trick or Treat”, and we work out the logistics of how to pull it off.

Jimmy becomes as annoying as possible. Kim proposes a new business venture.

Get over here! It's time to discuss one of the culturally important games of our lifetimes: Mortal Kombat! While this episode does use MKII as a focus point, this is largely about the series as a whole and it's impact. Get your fatalities ready!

Finally, the show that Will and Gary have been itching to do: An annotated version of old episodes of Everything To Guppy, where we do present-day commentary on our old selves' jokes. This week's episode: Bloody Penny.

It’s honestly weird that we haven’t already covered the NES version of Bad Dudes, a game with an infamous intro and horribly choppy handling. So Kaye brings it as her vanity pick, and we talk about how bad times have also made ALL of us into Bad Dudes.

Jimmy seduces Kim with a song from a musical. Mike and Hector trade some menacing words.

Kaye, Ben, Dennis, and Jala talk about Terminator 2D: No Fate, My Winter Car, Many Nights a Whisper, and much more!

The Grind:

• Jala: Terminator 2D: No Fate. Terror of Hemasaurus. Many Nights a Whisper.

• Ben: Silksong.

• Dennis: One Finger Death Punch 2. Trackmania.

• Kaye: Ball X Pit. My Winter Car.

The End Boss:

• Details about the new Fable emerge.

• Virtual Boy is coming to Switch Online soon.

• People are suing Hasbro for printing too many Magic cards.

In which two competing philosophical schools are codified.

Friday Night Funkin’, a rhythm game credited with keeping Newgrounds relevant in the 2020s, is actually pretty good. The music works better than the visuals, and the fan community is really… enthusiastic… but there’s not much to hate here. So instead we talk about Gary’s trip to San Francisco, where he got mindfreaked.
