The Pitch

Kris and Kole spend the 200th episode talking about Mansfield geography, stain removal, and cries for help.

ALSO: Shawshank’s Mile. Foam party malfunction. Dessert centrifuge. Hyper specific geography. Corporate Holy Grail: Curry Setting. The Wal*Mart Mistake. Smart dildo. We’re here to help you, Sean Spicer.

Finally, we get the chance to not talk about four games at once!

You can only get so far talking about velvet ants and locusts, so enjoy a dad joke so bad it only appeals to dust.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross continue their discussion of Salt & Sanctuary, covering everything up through the Mire of Stench.

Surprise! The DOFC boix decided to kick back the normal feedback episode and record a spoiler filled discussion on the newest X-Men movie, Logan. Spoiler alert: they both loved this film. They spend a good 10 or 15 minutes talking about the movie in general terms, then after a short musical break they get into the heavy spoilers. HEY! If you haven't watched Logan yet and have any interest in doing so, DON'T LISTEN PAST THE MUSIC.

The next episode will be our feedback episode on Season 02, and the following episode we'll get back to TAS and start covering Season 03.

Nick and Gary do our first Duckstream request (Invisible Inc), an ambitious, elegant game that proved to be too tough for us, and the beautiful little charmer Refunct.

Bugs are mad scary, yo.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross thumb through the history of Nintendo Power, and visit some other game magazines along the way.

Every year we choose a special topic for a special episode, and we've wanted to cover this year's topic for a while: Nintendo Power. While this magazine was specific to America, most major regions had their own version of an official Nintendo sponsored publication. This episode takes a look at the history of the magazine, talks about the usual contents, and reflects on video game magazines as a whole.

Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll that determined the topic of this episode. We really appreciate it!
