Watch Out for Fireballs!

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross choose to talk about the first part of Fallout 2.

Not only are you the descendant of the person who saved humanity from utter destruction, but you’re also called “The Chosen One”. Pressure much? The Garden of Eden may be a biblical allegory, but it never feels less real than when you’re searching for it in a blasted nuclear hellscape. Nevermind all of the slavery, drugs, debauchery, murder, abominations… and whatnot.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross lose their shit while talking about Eternal Darkness.

Where is my mind? In this very spooky episode of our show, we talk about one of the best survival horror games out there. The Roivas family, along with a cast of characters plucked from everywhere in the timeline of history, must stop the encroaching tide of darkness, led by the demonic Pious Augustus. Eternal Darkness revels in playing mind games with you, and we’re all the better for it.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross roll their experiences with fun centers up a gentle slope and into a small hole, rewarding them with points and (hopefully) tickets.

Two grown-ass men return to conquer the Valhalla of their youth. Mini Golf. Go Karts. Batting Cages. Ticket Games. In lieu of blood, our reward was tickets. Our hero’s feast was chicken fingers in front of a robot. It was a good day.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross drill deep into Bioshock.

Somewhere under the sea, all hell has broken loose. In this first episode of our “Watch Out for Lens Flare!” series, we explore one of the most beloved games of this generation. A choice-based first-person shooter obscures a brilliant survival horror game, with some of the best political commentary and indirect storytelling ever found in a game.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Sam Anderson fully absorb Kirby Super Star.

We’re rectifying a pretty big blind spot in our Nintendo pantheon here by addressing Kirby Super Star. Usually this text expounds on a pithy overview of a game’s plot and premise. How do you do that when you’re playing a literal Fun Pak of games? You suck it up and do a whole episode, that’s how.

A very special thanks goes out to Sam Anderson, who backed our Kickstarter, for both suggesting this delightful game and guest-hosting with us.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross determine how dry dem bones actually are in Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.

If Guybrush is so hapless... then what does it say about LeChuck? I mean, dread pirate keeps getting all defeated and shit. No matter how big the adventure gets, LeChuck doesn't stand much of a chance. Come along with us on a monacle-stealing caper that will bury you alive.

Be sure to stay tuned for next week, when we interview Ron Gilbert about Monkey Island 2. It's bound to be a good time.
