Where the hell has this game been all my life!?!? I guess on the Game Boy Color... Whatever, Pokemon Trading Card Game is awesome!!

I'd never played the Pokemon TCG until a couple weeks ago, and I completely fell in love with it. The spiciness of this take is up for debate, but I actually think I might like the card version of Pokemon more than the RPGs. I'm almost glad I didn't play this back in the day, because I might have a big collection of cards instead of a house right now.

My buddy Keegs has been playing PTCG since the early days of the game, and he came by the show this week to talk about how fucking awesome the game is, and how rigged that damned coin is.

And before we open some packs, I rip open another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, we get into my hatred for Mallow. What do I play while I'm watching TV? And what's the real story behind the disappearance of the Koopa kids??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Pokemon spin-offs: Pokemon Pinball, Pokemon Conquest, and Pokemon Puzzle Challenge!

Is it worthy of being called 'Super Mario World 2'? Maybe not from a Mario perspective. But from a platforming perspective? 10000%. We're taking another look at Yoshi's Island this week!

I know some people hate on Baby Mario crying (I don't think it's THAT bad), but just about everything else this game does is spectacular. The platforming, graphics, soundtrack, level mechanics, and exploration are all top shelf, and it's actually one of the more challenging Nintendo platformers from back in the day, too.

Pending RTG Hall of Famer, Mark McCue, is my guest this week, and we're taking a second look at the the second Mario World (don't fucking call it that, though). Let's toss some eggs.

And before we eat everything, I puke up another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, we talk about Xbox's commitment to backwards compatibility, and if they've taken their eyes off the prize. I answer a few questions about the business side of the show. And how is Mario RPG Remake treating me?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of the SNES's best: Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, and Super Metroid!

We waited way too long to cover this one, but it's time to talk farts, Canada, crab people, and truthful sticks with South Park: The Stick of Truth. This might just be the funniest game ever made.

And it's not only hilarious, but it's a serviceable RPG, too! I don't think there's enough meat on the bone here to satisfy diehard JRPG fans that don't know anything about South Park, but if you have even a passing interest in the show, I think The Stick of Truth is a must-play. It's like a season of the show was turned into a video game, and it's brilliant.

My buddy Andre has been asking to come on the show to talk about The Stick of Truth for years, and the time has finally come. Call upon Paladin Butters, recruit Jimmy the Bard, and keep your eyes peeled for ManBearPig. I'm so fucking stoked for this episode!

And before we fart on each other, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, we talk about the PS Plus price increase. Did Xbox fuck up by banning third-party controllers? And what is Thanksgiving like in Canada?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 South Park duds: Chef's Luv Shack, South Park Rally, and South Park (N64/PS1)!

Am I racing game guy now? Not really. But these arcade crashers are winning me over, and Burnout: Revenge might just be the best one I've played so far!

No story. No cutscenes. No car upgrades. Hell, no real cars haha. Just cause crashes, make them as big as possible, and do it again. I get why everyone likes this game so much now, I don't know how you couldn't!!

Hot Dog extraordinaire ArcAngelOtaku sponsored this episode last year, and I'm so stoked to finally have a chance to ask him why this game means so much to him. And then my pal Joe gives me a call to talk about the Revenge of Burnout, and all 3 of us just end up laughing at how awesomely ridiculous this game is!

And before we crash, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks what game settings I always change when starting a new game. What was my favourite cartoon growing up? And why do people hate on Resident Evil 5?? 

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 early 2000's racers: Gran Turismo 3, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, and Forza Motorsport!

If you grew up playing Nintendo early 90's, you watched the Super Mario Bros Super Show. Does it suck today? Eh, maybe a little. But for so many of us, Captain Lou Albano will always be our Mario. 

I was always crushed when I'd turn it on and find stupid Link and his stupid "Excuuuuuse me, Princess" face. Fortunately, most days it was Mario and Luigi hanging out in their basement apartment/shop in front of a studio audience with celebrities, and that was followed by the sweetest cartoon ever drawn. The animation sucked, but whatever.

My buddy Bradley McCue swings by the show this week, and despite the fact that we grew up watching this show in two totally different eras, we had a blast looking back on a massive part of our childhoods. Hey Pisanos! It's the Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

And before we go plumbing, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I'd ever consider reviewing games from some of the lesser known retro consoles. What am I gonna play now that I'm done with Mario Wonder and Spider-Man 2?? And why do people like "war" games so much?

Plus we play a rare round of 'Watch One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 classic gaming cartoons: The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, and Captain N!

I wanted to sneak this one in last week, but I wasn't able to finish it in time, so consider this your Halloween Hangover episode. One more creepy game to wrap October up - Eternal Darkness for the Nintendo GameCube.

This might be the weirdest fucking game I've ever played. You play as a bunch of different characters from different periods throughout history, all connected by this creepy book made of skin called The Tome of Eternal Darkness. The game revolves around solving puzzles while slowly losing your mind, and some of the "insanity" effects it tosses at you are legit fucked up.

I wasn't able to finish it (I explain why on the episode), but I genuinely thought it was creative as hell. It didn't sell well back when it released and it's a bit of a collector's item now, but I think if Eternal Darkness released today, people would adore it for how far outta the box it thinks.

My pal Daniel (and his dog, Tank zzz) swing by the show this week to talk about the creative excellence that is Eternal Darkness. Did I lose my mind (no pun intended) over the glitch that ruined my chance to beat the game? Have a listen and find out.

And before we go crazy, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, we get into an idea for GameStop that one listener thinks might help keep the company alive. Where the hell are the Fire Emblem reviews!?!? And what do I think of the new Blink album?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one stars the 3 expensive as fuck GameCube games: Skies of Arcadia, Fire Emblem, and Chibi-Robo!

It's the Halloween season, so we gotta freaky here at RTG, and I can't think of anything scarier than The Addams Family for the NES. Seriously, this game will fuck you up.

I genuinely think the skeleton of a good game is buried in here. You control Gomez Addams and explore the family mansion looking for your missing family members. There's puzzle solving, a little bit of exploration, and some fun platforming. It's just weighed down by horrible collision detection and brutal difficulty. Even by NES standards. 

That said, I'm a sucker for 'NES tough' games, and my brother and I used to rent this one all the time when e were kids. I'm rolling solo this week and ranting about one of the toughest games I played on the NES, and I hope you like it. 

More importantly, I hope the stupid Addams Family song gets stuck in your head like it is in mine. Just awful...

And before I yell at a freezer (seriously), I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks which consoles has had the best exclusive lineup in this stacked year of games? Do I have any nerdy hobbies aside from gaming? And how do I keep track of all the games I've played over the years?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one stars the 3 "scary" NES games: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Monster Party, and Friday the 13th.

I'm taking another bite out of the backlog this week and covering the winner of our PS2 themed Patreon poll: Devil May Cry. The camera in this game almost made ME cry, but when it was working, it was pretty fun!

I'm traditionally not a big hack and slash fan, and I played DMC 3 years ago and thought it was "meh", so I didn't know what to expect from the original game. I respect its impact on the genre, and I love seeing what was almost Resident Evil 4, but the camera and repetitive nature of the game kept me from falling in love. 

Also, Dante is a douche.

My pal Miklos swung by the show this week to talk crying devils. And despite the fact that he played this game twenty years ago and I played it last week, we had a lot of the same opinions when it came to the good and bad of Devil May Cry. This episode is an emotional rollercoaster.

And before we get trapped by a stupid fucking camera, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I think Nintendo will start over AGAIN when it comes to retro games on their new console. Are there any "under the radar" games I'm looking forward to? And what am I gonna play first - Spider-Man 2 or Super Mario Wonder??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one stars the 3 PS2 games that lost to DMC on our PS2 Patreon Poll: Tony Hawk Underground, Katamari Damacy, and Need For Speed Underground.
