Hey Poor Podcast

“Man, I’m so glad I don’t listen to this podcast.” It’s been a couple weeks since we had a proper Hey Poor Podcast. What did I “Perpetually Trapped 15-Year-Old Goth Girl” Coleman, Nathan “Bad Anime Defense Force” Terencio, and Anthony “I Will Hit You” Spivey miss during the break? Well, YouTube drama, a Fire Emblem game whose DLC costs more than its base asking price, and Marvel movie discourse. Also: a very long conversation about what Two Face’s downstairs looks like. So, in other words, business as usual. Ah, well. At least the Reservoir Dogs game turned out to be surprisingly good. Games/Films/Etc of the Week: Fire Emblem Echoes, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Godzilla: Resurgence, the Persona 4 Second Opinion, Rakuen, Your Name,…

Celebrating 100 Consecutive-ish Weeks Of Videogame-Related Nonsense HeyPoorPlayer.com and Muganex™ Brand Flavor-Enhanced Gummy Vitamin Tablets are proud to present the Hey Poor Podcast’s 100th Episode Centennial Celebration, recorded live at the El Paco Theater in Sea Man, Texas. It’s got everything – best-of clips, interviews with the cast and crew, musical numbers, lost clips, and more! And it’s all brought to you by Muganex™, the only gummy vitamin solution that guarantees descension. In all seriousness, getting to host this podcast for the last 30 episodes has been both a privilege and an honor, and I think I speak for all of our cast members past and present when I say that we are thrilled beyond thrilled that our dumb videogame podcast has lasted this long.…

“I take back everything bad I’ve ever said about the Switch.” On this week’s episode of the Hey Poor Podcast, we actually report on some actual news, for once, as Mario/Rabbids RPG Watch comes to its spectacular conclusion. Join I “Dawn of War III Opinions” Coleman, Anthony “The Circle Opinions” Spivey, and Nathan “No Opinions” Terencio as they give their long-form thoughts on Dawn of War III, answer questions about food, give a behind-the-scenes look at the origins of “Second Opinion”, and guys I can’t finish the rest of the summary this week, Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a real thing, it’s actually real and it’s happening, and it got announced halfway through us recording the podcast, so you get to hear our reactions in R…

“It’s the A-Paco-lypse” This week on the Hey Poor Podcast, join I “There Is Only Paco” Coleman, Nathan “There Is Only Paco” Terencio, Jay “There Is Only Paco” Petrequin as we celebrate the strongest and best character in videogames: Paco, the friendly frog! When not celebrating the glory and the majesty of Paco, who appears in our dreams and lives behind our eyes, we discuss the first episode of Telltale’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the bizarre existential inspiration of The Search, our fears about Star Wars: Battlefront II (not to be confused with Star Wars: Battlefront II even though they have the exact same name), and the future of inclusivity in eSports. We also recommend loads of good games during the commercial break, and we…

“Klondike Crunch – It’s The Product Of Adultery!” It’s a miracle – on this week’s episode of the Hey Poor Podcast, I “Diehard Sony Fanboy Apparently” Coleman, Anthony “Persona 5 Came Out And So Did I” Spivey, Nathan “I Didn’t Know I Was Muted” Terencio, and Jay “Kylo Ren Apologist” Petrequin manage to pretty much stay on topic the entire time. Shocking, I know, but that’s what happens when we have so many things to talk about, whether it’s debating the merits of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 reboot, gushing over Persona 5, or dissecting the many high-profile trailers that dropped this week. Plus: Nathan regales us with a story of candy betrayal, we all have a long discussion about videogame soundtracks, and I gets…

“Klondike Crunch – It’s The Product Of Adultery!”

It’s a miracle – on this week’s episode of the Hey Poor Podcast, I “Diehard Sony Fanboy Apparently” Coleman, Anthony “Persona 5 Came Out And So Did I” Spivey, Nathan “I Didn’t Know I Was Muted” Terencio, and Jay “Kylo Ren Apologist” Petrequin manage to pretty much stay on topic the entire time.

“Swing your arms from side to side! Don’t let them see the gun in your pocket!” The Hey Poor Podcast is cancelled, everybody! Videogames are old news. It’s time for everybody to get with the times and talk about what’s really important: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. This isn’t a joke: ever since it arrived on Netflix, it’s all I “Troad” Coleman, Jay “I’m Connected To The Mob!” Petrequin, and Nathan “I Somehow Didn’t Talk About Anything Gross This Week” Terencio have been able to think about, and we seriously spend the first 11 minutes or so of this podcast just talking about stuff like that time Mario straight-up killed somebody in the first episode. But don’t worry, we also make time for the…

“Swing your arms from side to side! Don’t let them see the gun in your pocket!”

The Hey Poor Podcast is cancelled, everybody! Videogames are old news. It’s time for everybody to get with the times and talk about what’s really important: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. This isn’t a joke: ever since it arrived on Netflix, it’s all I “Troad” Coleman, Jay “I’m Connected To The Mob!” Petrequin, and Nathan “I Somehow Didn’t Talk About Anything Gross This Week” Terencio have been able to think about, and we seriously spend the first 11 minutes or so of this podcast just talking about stuff like that time Mario straight-up killed somebody in the first episode. But don’t worry, we also make time for the Dawn of War III closed multiplayer beta, some critical analsyis of how reviewers review things, Microsoft’s Project Scorpio, and a surprising amount of conversation about sandwiches. Mostly, though, it’s about that one episode where Magic Johnson did birthday party tricks.

Games/Films/Etc of the Week: The Super Mario Bros Super Show, The Banner Saga Complete Pack, NBA 2K17, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Dragon Age: Inquisition, The Sims 4, Iron Fist, My Hero Academia, Mirage: Arcane Warfare, Dawn of War III

Audience Questions: Are bad reviews or good reviews more fun to write, what is your best review, snacking while gaming

The News: Atlus is dumb about letting people share Persona 5 footage, Brash Games treats its writers like crap, Project Scorpio exists and now we all have to talk about it

“We love you, I, because the alternative is demise.” Something deep, deep inside of our favorite Hey Poor Podcast host has been broken. I “The Hypocritical Death Murderer Machine” Coleman not only spends much of this episode threatening to murder his co-hosts (Jay “Don’t Touch My SJW Cuck Eggs” Petrequin, Anthony “Always Wrong” Spivey, and Nathan “Vindicated” Terencio), but also admits to watching and even enjoying anime. Believe it or not, this all makes more sense if you’ve seen Smurfs: The Lost Village, which is now considered Hey Poor Podcast canon. Alongside the fact that this week’s episode became a fascinating piece of Smurf-based gothic horror entertainment, we were also able to talk about some of the month’s big releases, like Yooka-Laylee, Persona 5, and…

“We love you, I, because the alternative is demise.”

Something deep, deep inside of our favorite Hey Poor Podcast host has been broken. I “The Hypocritical Death Murderer Machine” Coleman not only spends much of this episode threatening to murder his co-hosts (Jay “Don’t Touch My SJW Cuck Eggs” Petrequin, Anthony “Always Wrong” Spivey, and Nathan “Vindicated” Terencio), but also admits to watching and even enjoying anime. Believe it or not, this all makes more sense if you’ve seen Smurfs: The Lost Village, which is now considered Hey Poor Podcast canon.

Alongside the fact that this week’s episode became a fascinating piece of Smurf-based gothic horror entertainment, we were also able to talk about some of the month’s big releases, like Yooka-Laylee, Persona 5, and Mirage: Arcane Warfare. We also got the inside scoop on Steam’s plans to fix its quality assurance in the weirdest and most circular way possible, had a serious conversation about how you review games that don’t innovate but are solid examples of their genre, and gave a bunch of lovely recommendations for obscure media. All in all, it’s a great show, and you should listen to it! And not just because if you don’t our host will almost certainly do terrible things to you.

Games/Films/Etc of the Week: Persona 5 (just a little bit), Saban’s Power Rangers, Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight, Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Banner Saga, Digimon Tri, Yooka-Laylee, Mirage: Arcane Warfare, Gakkou Gurashi, Rick and Morty Season 3, The Princess’ Peach

Audience Questions: Hipster recommendations, how to evaluate games that adhere very specifically to an existing genre

The News: Ghost in the Shell’s lousy opening weekend, the continuing saga of Steam quality assurance
