How Long To Beat

As the podcast delves into its official unofficial second season, the cast catches up on their recent gaming forays (which basically means a lot of Ric gushing about mobile/handheld games while Toast and Kerf fish into the hollow recesses of their memories for something to contribute). Stay tuned in a couple weeks' time for Part 2!

Back from a short break, and with an obnoxiously long title, this episode of the HLTB podcast sees hosts KerfMerf, UltimateZombieToast and NinjaRic talking about the games they beat. By which we mean the games Ric beat, because he's a loser with no life or friends and he's not as handsome as Kerf and his glorious red beard anyway.

You can also look forward to your regularly-scheduled host segments, a question from the forums, and the usual amount of off-topic conversation!

Giddyup, pardners! This episode, our hosts (and a special guest from the West) go through their latest completions, laugh at Kerf's Sonic OC, and get lost in bible-based retro gaming. There's also another installment of the fan-favourite segment, Ricommendations.

In perhaps the most morally questionable episode yet, the cast (who is almost unanimously on death's door), discusses plagiarism, the Israel/Palestine conflict, and euthanizing literal children. Special guest pokepaw's kind heart prevents us from committing crimes against humanity. Theme music by Alex Eliades. Intermission music by Acidjoker. Follow us on Twitter @HLtBPodcast

Saddle up adventurers, because we're taking this episode of the HLTB Podcast on a pseudo text-based adventure, which can ONLY have good results. Featuring our second guest host Uvehj (Dave?), we have a grand old time discussing the Game of the Month, Stories, as well as the Monster Hunter series. As always, be sure to give our Twitter a follow @HLtBPodcast! (Intermission music is "Gryphons of the West" from the Tyrian 2000 soundtrack by Alexander Brandon)

Tired of hearing the same three voices every 2 weeks? Be tired no more! The main hosts are joined this episode by their very first guest host from the HLTB community, Anthony! In addition to the usual video game talk, there is a disproportionate focus on Christian children's television and ego-stroking. For the forum question, they discuss the most memorable gaming protagonists.

The hosts are back in full form with more digressions about bad movies and genitalia than you can shake a stick at! Ric and Toast flex their fanatical muscles for Chrono Trigger while Kerf does a trial run of his new host segment. It all rounds out with a discussion of the best and most memorable villains in gaming. Be sure to follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HLtBPodcast

On this relatively short, intermissionless, and questionless episode of the podcast, the hosts catch up on their backlog progress from the past month (with Kerf, as usual having way too many games to talk about at once) and share their increasingly warlike host segments--with the potential for the audience to influence their future! Then they end with a plea to the listeners to come aboard as guest hosts.

This just might be our longest episode yet! Listen as we ramble about the pros and cons of current-gen consoles! Sleep through Kerf's far-too-long list of recent completions! Judge Ric for his bad taste in games! And wait on the edge of your seat for Toast's paradigm-shifting forum question! We're not exaggerating whatsoever!

In this short bonus episode of the podcast, the hosts talk about the most intriguing-looking games from the major E3 press conferences.
