52 min - Steaming Garbage: Shadow Warrior 3
We are back and playing to our strengths, which means we are playing total garbage! This game sucks, it's really very terrible and the people who like it are worse. I'll stand by that. I would be ashamed to have my name attached to this game, as a matter of fact, I am ashamed that we even did a show on this game. Miserable, mierable stuff.
Shadow Warrior 3 marks a return of the Shadow Warrior franchise. It was unleashed on poor unsuspecting game enjoyers and hack reviewers on March 1st, 2022. It is "playable" on the XBox One, XBox Series X/S, Playstation 4 and 5, and Microsoft Windows platforms. Please don't play this game.
We had little good to say about this game. We praised some of the art. That's it. Otherwise this game is a dumpster fire.
This is the episode we're going to be sending to sponsers. Wish us luck!
52 min - TrashCast 230424: A Brief End to Suffering
K-Slick and the intrepid permahosts, Caligula & Miss Ellanea, have fought through the cold of night and its unnamable horrors to see the dawn! Though Miss Ellanea fought on a completely different front than the boys, and with completely different armaments (the likes of which would befuddled and frustrate most humans), she is glad to be rejoined with her Dada family. She has little to say, and like the trio's near silent spectral companion prefers to listen to proud and righteous tales pouring forth from the two boisterous boys. These two, having been rigorously reinvigorated deep in their soul-meats, regale the group with their many stories as brothers in arms in the great battle of Ramadan.
Praise the Sun! …and join us, dear listener.
48 min - TrashCast 230410: Feast the Feast of Pac-Man
Sheer black, peppered with glowing specks of shimmering sand, ebbs into a deep blue. A single figure admist two others peers up from their shivering circle about the smoldering ashes of last night's fire. Their wide eyes can see the hues unraveling the night's grip on the sky and they know: sunrise nears.
Here we find our permahosts joined once more with K-slick on the outskirts of the unmapped wilds. Cold and rainsoaked, yet nonetheless in good spirits for the sun shall soon cast its wonderful rays down upon their sorry hides. Here, huddled around their last source of external warmth, they pass the time by way of a conversational rabbit hole concerning a new direction for the TrashCast, Pac-Man's possible spiritual successor, Trapper Keepers… for MEN, and much more.
Join us, dear listener.

43 min - TrashCast 230403: Be the Change You Want in the Multiverse
A palaver, a meeting, an exchange of words. The permahosts have found themselves in a house of shimmering glass, all sights and sounds reflected, distorted, as they debate the finer points of property ownership and strange happenings in the realm of fighting games. The shapes they see in the feverish flashes of light seem pleased in presence of their discourse, and so appeased may be more pliable to the duo's extrication. Or they may hold them forever as tellers of tales, as once was Shahrazad…
Join us, dear listener.

45 min - Steaming Garbage: Marvel Snap
Marvel Snap is a collectable, digital, free to play card game that was developed by Nuverse and Second Dinner Studios Inc, and published by Nuverse. It was released on macOS, iOS, Andriod, and Microsoft Windows on October 18th, 2022.
We would both recommend this game, it's definitly worth checking out, that being said don't spend money on it until you break collection level 500 as that is where a clear picture of the game is presented to you. We praised it for it's fast games, small deck sizes, and fun builds.
Final notes, we held a funeral for Sunspot. It was sad. Leave our boy alone. I still have yet to see someone play Sentry. I will be accepting a free Sentry just to rep him. Hit me up.
35 min - Steaming Garbage: Yi Xian The Cultivation Card Game
This week we dive into the curiousity Yi Xian: The Cultivation Card game which was developed by 墨日工作室 and DarkSun Studio, and published by Gamera Games. This is an online, 8 player, deckbuilding game, that includes auto battling mechanics. It was released December 6th, 2022 for Microsoft Windows. We played it on Steam.
We praised the game for it's unique gameplay, dense mechanics, and 8 player format. Yi Xian also includes a single player mode, a mode more card games need. If you like competitive card games give this game a look. It's unique and fun, truly a breath of fresh air.
28 min - TrashCast 230329: Born a Rambler, Die a Rambler
Far in their aural travels, the permahosts Caligula & Miss Ellanea have happened upon a curious waystation hewn deep into mountainside. Warm firelight and music spill forth from its facade, and boisterous laughter within echoes off cold rock without. The permahosts know now they have wandered across the realm of Akkatoz, Streamer of Games, Slayer of Baun. What tremendous fortune for our intrepid duo.
Join our palaver over poetry, prose, the delineation between scifi & fantasy, a brief overview of converting coal power plants to nuclear plants, and more. A special plaque will be given to whomever can identify all of Caligula's hidden references in this episode! Email [email protected]

40 min - Steaming Garbage: Vampire Survivors
Vampire Survivors is a rogue-like shoot em up published and developed by poncle. It was initially released on March 31, 2021. It is now on a litany of consoles and hand held devices. We praised this game for it's satisfying gameplay, time travel inducing runs, and it's overall presentation. I can't speak highly enough about it.
We both would recommend this game. So go check out Vampire Survivors. There's no reason not to. Seriously. I'll wait.
35 min - TrashCast 230320: Live, Laugh, Lunch
Between the horrors of the void and the blinding righteous rage in the previous two installments, our permahosts were nearly dissolved into the dark forevermore! Yet they remain, unburdening themselves from debris and setting their askew limbs straight, but they remain.
As they recover from the licks and salvos of yore, they wax jubilantly over the nature of friendship in minority populations, stopping street fights without getting involved, bootstappin' video games, and the ephemerality of our favorite (and not so favorite) medias and mediums. Join us, dear listener.

Introductory 3¶ of "Dada Manifesto 1918," Tristan Tzara
The magic of a word—Dada—which has brought journalists to the gates of a world unforeseen,
is of no importance to us.
To put out a manifesto you must want: ABC
to fulminate against 1, 2, 3
to fly into a rage and sharpen your wings to conquer and disseminate little abcs and big abcs, to sign, shout, swear, to organize prose into a form of absolute and irrefutable evidence, to prove your non plus ultra and maintain that novelty resembles life just as the latest-appearance of some whore proves the essence of God. His existence was previously proved by the accordion, the landscape, the wheedling word. To impose your ABC is a natural thing— hence deplorable. Everybody does it in the form of crystalbluffmadonna, monetary system, pharmaceutical product, or a bare leg advertising the ardent sterile spring. The love of novelty is the cross of sympathy, demonstrates a naive je m'enfoutisme, it is a transitory, positive sign without a cause.
But this need itself is obsolete. In documenting art on the basis of the supreme simplicity: novelty, we are human and true for the sake of amusement, impulsive, vibrant to crucify boredom. At the crossroads of the lights, alert, attentively awaiting the years, in the forest. I write a manifesto and I want nothing, yet 1 say certain things, and in principle I am against manifestoes, as I am also against principles (half-pints to measure the moral value of every phrase too too convenient; approximation was invented by the impressionists). I write this manifesto to show that people can perform contrary actions together while taking one fresh gulp of air; I am against action; for continuous contradiction, for affirmation too, I am neither for nor against and I do not explain because I hate common sense.
