March 25, 2023Episode 92: Kotaku Really Doesn’t Like Sexy Stuff, Except When They DoKotaku has a weird take on sexiness. Things like Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village and the cartoon dragon from Ring Fit Adventure are fine to sexualize, but, for some reason, a human girl’s iconic skirt turning into a skort is something to celebrate. We discuss Kotaku’s bizarre take on such changes to the Resident Evil 4 remake along with Hollywood’s anti-Christian bias, the charges against Justin Roiland being dropped, and a ridiculous article about how to avoid being ableist in fiction....more49minPlay
March 11, 2023Episode 91: Retcons and Censorship: Western Entertainment Has Completely StagnatedSince the second failure of G4, Adam Sessler continues to prove how jaded and bitter he is about the industry he covered for decades with his latest Twitter meltdown.

February 25, 2023Episode 90: The Harassment of Hogwarts Legacy Players is Out of ControlHogwarts Legacy has been in the wild for over two weeks now, and still streamers of this incredibly popular game are being reduced to tears by people who think they have the moral high ground while bullying players of the game. We discuss this issue along with Games Done Quick banning Hogwarts Legacy and other games from its events, Ukraine trying to restrict sales of Atomic Heart, and more....more45minPlay
February 11, 2023Episode 89: Despite Leftists’ Efforts, Hogwarts Legacy is a Huge SuccessDue to Hogwarts Legacy’s ties to the “transphobic” J. K. Rowling, many screeching leftists have attempted to boycott the game, but their efforts were in vain; the game has been nothing but a critical and commercial success. We discuss the game and surrounding controversy along with Wizards of the Coast’s decision to reverse its proposed new Open Game License for the next version of Dungeons & Dragons, Forspoken’s flop getting blamed on misogyny and racism, Frosk leaving the video game industry, Xbox’s Phil Spencer acknowledging cancel culture, IGN review scores, and The Last of US TV show....more1h 5minPlay
January 21, 2023Episode 88: Wizards of the Coast is Killing D&D with a New Open Game LicenseDungeons & Dragons fans have been raging for weeks now after Wizards of the Coast, publisher of the popular tabletop roleplaying game, had a leak of its new Open Game License that puts everything from third-party content to virtual tabletop programs at risk of obsoletion. We discuss the ongoing controversy and the hopeful decline of D&D’s popularity along with the ridiculous Velma show and Hogwarts Legacy pending success....more40minPlay
November 19, 2022Episode 87: Kotaku, PC Gamer Believe Every Game Must Include Black PeopleKotaku, PC Gamer, and probably others blasted Final Fantasy XVI, an upcoming game with Medieval Europe aesthetics, for not including black people. We discuss how ridiculous it is to expect diversity in every piece of media along with Hogwarts Legacy developers removing gender from the game as a swipe at J. K. Rowling, Dungeons & Dragons requiring cultural consultants on all future products, The Rings of Power actors tripling down on their stance on black characters in Middle-earth, and how based Emily Blunt is....more57minPlay
November 05, 2022Episode 86: EA Apologizes Over Lack of Representation During Sims PresentationEA took to Twitter to apologize after a single person got offended by the company’s lack of representation during a presentation about The Sims.

October 14, 2022Episode 85: CD Projekt Red is DoomedCD Projekt Red recently announced a slew of new games the studio is working on, but there’s a catch: They’re joining ESG, a sort of social currency system that funds only “woke” games. This likely means future CD Projekt Red games will cater to social-conscious investors rather than fans. We discuss this disappointing news along with Overwatch 2’s required phone number blunder, The Last of Us TV actress being told not to play the original game to learn about her character, Polygon’s awful take on Elden Ring’s women, the UN blaming “toxic masculinity” and video games for the world’s problems, and more....more1h 5minPlay
September 30, 2022Episode 84: God of War’s David Jaffe is a HypocriteGod of War developer David Jaffe went on another tirade last week, accusing men who don’t like lackluster female Marvel characters of being misogynists. The problem is Jaffe helped create the original God of War games, full of sex minigames and female nudity, nevermind the depraved parties his employer threw. We discuss his hypocrisy along with Frosk getting fired from G4, the GTA VI and Diablo IV leaks, how the Splinter Cell remake will be “modernized,” the government wasting tax dollar researching terrorism in video games, and plenty more....more1h 2minPlay
September 09, 2022Episode 83: D&D Uses White Savior Trope IRL to Save Black People from “Racist” LoreDungeons & Dragons has long been aboard the woke train, and the latest controversy proves just how hollow and hilarious it all is. D&D publisher Wizards of the Coast censored lore from its latest book after just a few Twitter wokies complained it was “racist.” We discuss how the only true racists in this story are those who found the lore problematic along with Game Informer wanting The Last of Us Part I censored, Kotaku’s ridiculous take on the censoring of Velma in MultiVersus, Awesome Games Done Quick virtue signaling about how terrible Florida is, a Warcraft pro being punished for his private support of Andrew Tate, and reactions to The Rings of Power....more1h 25minPlay
