They say sex sells. Failing company Acclaim certainly hoped so when they took their most popular series, Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX and removed everything that made it good and added strippers. Instead of making people want to buy it, this pissed a lot of people off, including their big star Dave Mirra, who sued Acclaim for millions. Join HeyBrother45 as he takes a deep look at BMX XXX, a game that should serve as a lesson for future companies facing bankruptcy on how NOT to save your business. 

I'm not even sure who would buy this game. Maybe if you're a teenager and your mom threw away your best porno mag? Busted.

Chaos theory: A butterfly flaps its wings in Tibet and a hurricane forms in the Atlantic. Might seem unlikely, but James Clark Maxwell mathematically proved in 1845 that seemingly unrelated variables are more connected than we think. Did the fall of the Sega CD in 1993 cause the release of shovelware title Ninjabread Man on the Wii in 2006, more than a decade later? Grab your tinfoil hat and join HeyBrother45 as he unravels what might be the biggest undiscovered conspiracy in gaming. Is it true, or merely a coincidence? The truth is out there...

Playing this game makes me want to say "Go ninja go ninja go...go home".

In 1991, the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was released to high critical and audience acclaim. Many still regard it as possibly the best game ever made. The next Zelda game did not get so much praise. In fact the next Zelda game would be hated and disowned by fans of the franchise. Nintendo even refuses to acknowledge it. No, not Ocarina of Time, I'm talking about "Zelda: Wand of Gamelon" and the other 2 games released on Philips CDi that make up the abomination known to fans as "The Unholy Triforce".

Nintendo doesn't know that Phillips is in the game studio...doing something Unholy.

In the early 90s, the US congress held a special session to discuss a game that was so violent, they likened it to child abuse. They were afraid that the violence was too much to be put on a console aimed at children. No not Mortal Kombat, I'm talking about Night Trap.  HeyBrother45 takes a deep dive into a game that  garnered so much unwarranted attention it led to the creation of the ESRB board as we know it today.

The game is about watching unsuspecting children in order to save them. Now that they're adults, who's watching them now, The IRS?

In the flood of fighting games that were released in the early to mid 90s, there were 2 ways for a 2D fighter to be remembered. Make a great game like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, or make a game so awful it stands out even among other failures. Fellow humans, please join the totally not AI HeyBrother45 as he takes a deep dive into what is possibly the worst fighting game of all time, 1994's Rise of the Robots.

HeyBrother45 discusses the history of one of the most infamous games in the history of the N64. Will he be able to continue, or will this game be his Kryptonite? If he goes crazy, will you still call him Superman?
