Hey Poor Podcast

“The SJW Conspiracy is real and we’re all in on it. That’s what my Twitter mentions tell me.” Well, you’ve done it now, ignorant Internet commenters. You’ve called us all “cucks” and “SJWs” one too many times, and the result? Terrible to behold. This week on the Hey Poor Podcast, join I “Doomm Man” Coleman, Nathaniel “Filth Man” Terencio, Anthony “90s Anime Protagonist Man” Spivey for a discussion of this week’s big game announcements, the year in anime, and why Troll and I might be the most poorly-optimized game of all time. Plus: why Yu-Gi-Oh was off the chain, a discussion of the miserable Netflix Death Note trailer, and a really surprisingly lengthy discussion of Willem Dafoe’s acting abilities.

“WARNING: You Are Not Ready For This.” This week on the Hey Poor Podcast, I “The Juggler” Coleman, Jay “Hello My Ragtime Gal” Petrequin, Anthony “Nanthony Plivey” Spivey, and Nathan “The Jerker” Terencio get an exclusive tip: Seaman’s back, baby, and he’s even more unsettling and unplayable than ever.

We also talk about the best episode of Pokemon ever, the million bajillion open world games that have come out this month, and (for some reason) the many flaws…

“We have to build a female.” This week is the Hey Poor Podcast’s Nintendo Switch Stunt Spectacular, and it literally only takes three minutes before somebody makes an inappropriate joke about HD Rumble. Huzzah!

This week is the Hey Poor Podcast’s Nintendo Switch Stunt Spectacular, and it literally only takes three minutes before somebody makes an inappropriate joke about HD Rumble. Huzzah!

Along the way, we also talk a lot about Nathan’s time at GDC, furry emotion simulator Night in the Woods, and why Logan might be the greatest superhero film of all time. Plus: we finally get through our two-week backlog of questions! So hopefully you like hearing four non-black guys trying to discuss hip hop, or how well our four out-of-shape asthmatic podcast hosts would fare in a zombie apocalypse (hint: badly.) Oh, and Nathan at one point goes on the most bizarrely pointless tangent about his onetime experience at a Denny’s. All this and more, on the Hey Poor Podcast!

“Hey Poor Player: The Fake News Of Videogames” Nathan’s at GDC, so this week’s episode of the Hey Poor Podcast features I “One Ghost And Zero Blades” Coleman, Jay “Some Kinda Awesome Robot Dragon” Petrequin, and Anthony “Fantasy Vending Machine” Spivey, all of whom wish they could be at GDC, too. Join us for an episode that’s short but sweet as we discuss obscure early pen-and-paper RPGs, elements that make or break a game for us, a game whose entire campaign can be completed in 20 minutes, and a troubling new television program that finally shows the familial side of non-geometric shapes. We also discuss why we’re worried about the Nintendo Switch, how I finally got around to playing Bioshock, and the fact that Shadow…

We also discuss why we’re worried about the Nintendo Switch, how I finally got around to playing Bioshock, and the fact that Shadow of War has DLC available for purchase before we’ve even seen anything about the game.
