The Retro Breakdown

TW and Tom recap one of the wildest Dokapon sessions imaginable, briefly touch on Fire Emblem Engage, and recap all the other Fire Emblem games they've played and subsequently dropped halfway through.

Then we talk Game & Watch Gallery, which is like if you had a bunch of Tiger Electronics games but they were actually fun.

As TW nears the end of Disco Elysium, we try to zero in on what makes it so special, while also touching on Advance Wars, Final Fantasy XVI, and the price of T-shirts.

Then we try to talk about Pulseman, but end up talking about Pokemon instead, oops.

It's another Nintendo Direct Episode! We speed through the headlines we care about, talk a little about the headlines that weren't, and discuss a German Zelda coffee mug.

We also played a McDonald's advertisement this week. Grimace's Birthday is a short, browser-based game that will run on a proper Game Boy Color, and is actually pretty decent for a 10-minute romp and purely transparent ad pandering!

Hey all, it's only been a few weeks for you all, but Tom and I haven't recorded an episode in months, so there's lots to talk about! We got Diablo, Octopath, Chained Echoes, Tape to Tape, and pool. Like, just regular billiards.

Also, we're not really talking about it yet, but we've started a Dokapon Kingdom playthrough every Monday on the Twitch channel listed below!

After a week off, Jessi fills in for Tom this week and we talk about our recent trip to Frankfurt, public transportation, the beginning of Dokapon, and of course, comparisons of Dark Souls 2 to Dark Souls 1 after Jessi's first playthrough came to a close.

Conversation number 1 billion about what we hope Nintendo does (and does not) do with their next console starts up this week's episode, followed by a battle of disappointments that leads to us just mercilessly dunking on Spore.

The music in Code Name: Viper is by far the best thing about it. The optimal experience is just to listen to the music and forget the game exists altogether. But it was super fun to laugh about for a bit.

"This action hero is MONEY," the back of the cracked jewel case tells us about Largo Winch, a character from a bygone era where billionaires were considered protagonists and not a reason to bring back guillotines.

This guy owns an oil company, airline, news network, and is opening a chemical plant in Venezuela, and we're supposed to root for him. Luckily, "We Have James Bond at Home" is completely devoid of any charisma or likeable traits, so the fact that his game is a special kind of terrible is fun in its own way!

Shoutouts to T of TKandM for sharing this fun little bit of nonsense with us!

Also, WARNING: INCOMING DOKAPON

Another trip to the local game store, N64 troubleshooting, stories of ad-set at our retail jobs, and the guilty pleasures we have in eating bad food that's still good somehow.

Talking about crappy gas station food seems ESPECIALLY relevant to Wario somehow. Wario Land 3 is weird and quirky and outstanding and distinctly different from just about anything else.

A last-minute substitution on this week's game leads to a great discussion of how we can go back in time and save Yuji Naka from himself. Also, beating up perverts with Mahjong, a short retrospective on Final Fantasy 4, and the best characters in Octopath Traveler 2.

Also, as luck would have it, Kuru Kuru Kururin is also very fun! This was a good week.
