It's the mermaid of our dreams.

This game really bugs us. Listen in to find out why... or read this short summary. Earth Defense Force as a series gets a lot of credit for its quirkiness and cheesiness. That praise is earned, but it doesn't paper over repetitive and mediocre gameplay.

The Ravagers are back again, and they've brought Giant Insects, spiders, lizards, and all kinds of nasties with them. It's up to the united Earth Defense Force to fight them off, once and for all. Over and over again. With very little difference between the missions. Forever.

It's a rare occasion when we cover an MMO for a show, so we want to go all out. Get the community on board. Or at least, we try to. Runescape turned out to be a tough nut to crack, leading to a night of vaguely confused wandering. This episode features a special guest performance of Stomp right outside Gary's window.

I'm a shark, I'm a shark...

Kris and Kole talk about texture, invasive dentistry, and urban tombs.

ALSO: Pressed goo. A soda faux pas, and the preferred lettuce. Coming on strong. Cashew surprise. Anne Frank’s dirty jokes. A Toys R(ave) Us. Suburb-ex. ISIS didn’t do that.
