How Long To Beat

Picking up a discussion from the HLTB forums, the hosts talk about different options for nominations and votes for the Game of the Month. Toast introduces a new host segment, and then they discuss cheating in games and their favorite gaming content creators.

In this BLEEPing episode of the HowLongToBeat podcast, the BLEEPing hosts can't stop themselves from using BLEEPing curse words. Nevertheless, they press onward, discussing their favorite game trailers, what series they've played the most games in, and what themes and mechanics they'd like to see more developers use. After the intermission, they enter a Ric-centric discussion to recommend games for his new New 3DS!

Our bold heroes(?), Kerf, Ric, and Toast, first discuss their principles about video game retirements before moving into a conversation about the current Game of the Month, 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors (which again devolves into talking about Danganronpa). They close out by talking about their recently beat/currently playing and questions from the forums, including: How did we get our usernames? What's one game we wish we had never played? And what games do we most want translations of? They also say what games they will nominate for May, but only one of them actually follows through with it (Hint: It's Kerf).

Blasphemy abounds in this episode of the HowLongToBeat Podcast. The hosts catch up on 3.5 weeks worth of gaming, interview UltimateZombieToast, and answer such pressing questions as: Do you ever replay games, or is it "one and done"? What games have the best stories? What is the longest time it has taken to beat a game from start date to finish date?

Shaking up the formula yet again, this time the hosts use their (poorly managed) time to discuss Tactical Role-Playing Games, Kerf and Toast ask NinjaRic the tough questions, everybody savagely owns one another, and they all close out once again with updates on their playthroughs and questions from the forums.

...And I would play 900 more. On this episode, Kerf, Ric, and Toast answer questions from the forums about the longest amount of time they've put into a game, when to mark a game as complete, and what their ideal gaming setups look like. We briefly touch on March's Game of the Month, Fatal Frame, before gloriously derailing. Ric and Toast interview Kerf about his life in and outside of gaming, and we close with an update on our backlogs.

In the inaugural episode of the HowLongToBeat Community Podcast, the hosts, Kerf Merf, NinjaRic, and UltimateZombieToast (plus featured guests: doggies) talk about the games they've been playing recently, including a swath of obscure Nintendo DS games and the February 2018 Game of the Month, Odin Sphere. They also make travel plans to beat each other up.
