This is an episode about Crystalis...sort of...this week the Spindash hosts find themselves very distracted by midlife crisis purchases, arcade machines, Mark Zuckerberg, obscure movies, and random game lists. Yes, we do talk about Crystalis, but it always serves as a jumping point for some other wild tangent. This should not come as any shock to regular listeners.

Spooky Month continues (even if we were a little late pushing out this episode). This week the Spindash hosts meet the Barrows family and all of their wacky and zany antics. Join us as we meet Bobby Barrows, a lovable child with a heart of gold and knack for hedge trimming. We also meet Dan Barrows, a portly boy who will melt your heart (and also himself). Mr. and Mrs. Barrows are also there - a model marriage for the ages. Join us, as we play Clock Tower.

To celebrate the spookiest month of the year, the Spindash hosts were planning on playing Clock Tower...but then Blizzard decided to drop Diablo II: Resurrected, sending everyone into a mouse clicking frenzy. That's okay though, Spooky Month will continue. This week on Spindash, we descend all 16 levels to confront the Lord of Terror himself. Join us for Diablo.

To our faithful listeners: give up on MGS, it is never happening. We're stringing you along and it's just not healthy...Don't let that get you down though, this week the Spindash hosts tackle one of Matt's childhood favorites, Ninja Gaiden for the NES (that's Ninja GUY-DEN for those in the back). Along the way, John attempts to feign modesty over a pickup bumper crop, the highlight of his year. Nick's internet then proceeds to die more frequently than we did playing this game - it's not Spindash if it isn't plagued with technical difficulties.
