Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross radiate praise for the first half of Fallout.

Great games. Great games never change…es. Continuing our infatuation with CRPGs, we delve into Gary’s favorite game of all time. This is a two-parter, so we cover everything up to the Water Merchants. Does it hold up? Yeop.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross engage in a protracted codec conversation expositionizing about Metal Gear Solid.

You’re Solid Snake. Your twin brother is threatening the world with an unprecedented nuclear walking battle tank made of existing technology. It’s up to you, your codec radio, and hours of cut scenes to save the world as we know it. This game is an utter treat, and it’s understandable that it has such a huge influence over basically everything that follows it.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross give Tomba! a stone age beatdown.

Evil Pigs have taken your grandpa’s watch and cast a curse over the entire world. It’s your job to… Wait, I can’t do this. To treat it seriously would be lying to you. Tomba! is a fondly remembered 2.5D platformer, but WOFF! hated it. Aside from our shared fondness for exclamation marks, there’s nothing to recommend Tomba!. Disagree?

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross grab the sticks and get to the bottom of why arcades are the best.

This episode is in the same vein as Episode 30. Recorded in person, both in-studio and in the field, Gary and Kole talk about arcade experiences in their entirety… from their smoky childhoods to their current-day selves exploring the arcade revival taking place in Portland, Oregon. Special thanks goes out to Ground Kontrol, the best goddamned arcade in Portland.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and the attendees of the Portland Retro Games Expo talk about Super Mario World.

This episode is a bit of a different beast than our previous outings. Normally we play a game, then talk about it, and pepper in your thoughts. For this, we set up a booth at the Portland Retro Games Expo with a CRT TV and an SNES with Super Mario World. We invited anyone who passed to beat a level, then offer their thoughts. The result is an hour of avant garde guerilla podcasting, where people gush about the best Mario game of all time.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross investigate Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers.

It’s no secret: We love adventure games. And we’ve done a lot of them recently. However, we’ve never done a Sierra adventure game, of which Gabriel Knight is probably the best. Funky accents aside, it’s got great dialogue, clever puzzles, and explores a subject that’s been mostly ignored by games: Voodoo.
