The Pitch

Let's travel down memory lane and explore some of greatest non-hits of the WOFF Catalog.

It’s bizarre that we haven’t done an episode about the Alf game for the Sega Master System, but we have a good excuse: We were completely sure that we’d already done it. This famously bad game is a poor adaptation about everyone’s favorite fish-out-of-water sitcom about a fuzzy alien who lives with a family who barely tolerates him. However, it does accurately depict how miserable it was to MAKE the show Alf.

We can't believe their cheek! Miquella threw something away which he should not have, and we’re going deep into the Stone Coffin Fissure to find it. So dress appropriately for wading through hip-deep putrescence, and let your least secure friend know where you’re headed, and come with!

It's never good news when an investigator comes knocking at your door. The question is, is the news bad for you for the P.I.? What secrets dwell out in the barn, or deep in your past, or at the heart of things tracing back to a time before things with legs walked the land?

Laird Barron's "Shiva, Open Your Eye", published for free in NIghtmare Magazine, is a Lovecraftian tale told from the other side. Curiosity has driven the investigator far into territory more dangerous than he comprehends... but not even the monster he seeks knows the full truth of the cyclical horror that entraps us all.

Who wouldn't want to explore the off-limits areas of an amusement park? Okay, what if I told you it was a haunted amusement park. Crow Country is a bite-sized dopamine capsule of a horror game. A wonderful showcase of what makes the genre fun. Run, don't walk, to play it.

In what amounts to a backdoor episode of Watch Out for Fireballs!, this listener-demanded discussion of the Return of the King game for Game Boy Advance has us mostly talking about how we would have enjoyed having this portable Diablo-like back in the day. We also talk about the Lord of the Rings’ cinematic legacy, and put 60 seconds on the clock for a Rebuttalfield about not being a weird crank about Trick or Treating teens.
