Stenocast - Märchen aus der Bonner Republik Herr Urbach (@herrurbach) und leo (@nichimtakt) besprechen alte Plenarprotokolle und schauen mal, was so gar nicht klar geht. Damals. Bestimmt nichts neues, aber sicherlich für einige was zum Nachdenken dabei.

The biggest problem with Windows 11 is that it does most of the same stuff as Windows 10 but requires extra steps for no discernible reason.

A below-average Castlevania game with an above-average soundtrack is today's topic, alongside the absolute celebration of the bizarre, parasocial relationships championed in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. More importantly, Pocket Circuit is not a racing game, ask me anything. TW's Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/dTrBruG…

We're in the midst of a Classic Capcom run as we roll on with Little Nemo this week! Also, what's up with that weird split-screen Nintendo Switch successor prototype? Or Konami not making games? And I promise we'll find something to talk about next week that isn't Fire Emblem. TW's Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/dTrBruG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcast…

Sure, we talked about some stuff, but nevermind that, play Sweet Home, this is one of the most fascinating and ambitious games of the 1980s. It's awesome. Here's why.

The beginning of a long-running series that we reserve the right to bail out from at any point, begins NOW! Also, TW maybe understands a bit better why he dislikes motion controls, Marco's Pizza is just OK, and Roll is just written out of the story, but somehow not out of the ending.

A new season of Spy x Family has dropped and that sends us into a discussion about the changing ways manga has gotten adapted into anime over the years (spoilers: it's better now).

We're talking One Piece this week! Sort of! Tom is way behind in the manga, and TW watched a couple episodes of it back in 2006 or so, and also the whole thing is much older than we thought. Also, One Punch Man is still awesome. Both of us went into this podcast ready to dump on this game, and question Nintendo for dumping random trash on their ser…

Turns out we both, independently, started playing Monster Hunter Now, the first Niantic game that has made any sense at all since they released Pokemon GO. You can definitely feel the guts of Pokemon GO - Niantic gonna Niantic, after all - but early impressions seem promising! The second Oracle game is complete, and with it comes a discussion on Or…

Dokapon Kingdom continues on a confluence of unusual events that end with hitting what amounts to a 20% critical hit and it's all TW's fault. At this point I don't even know if people care who wins as long as it's somebody. Good. Dokapon is doing its job. Maybe it's over by now. Maybe not. Like Zero Wing, Bad Dudes is best remembered for weird meme…

After a year, TW finally plays Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes and cannot stop gushing about it. Also, Yakuza 5 hunting, the awkward conclusion of the spiky hair bracket, and the best idea for an arcade game that will absolutely never, ever, ever happen.

Please enjoy as a deceptive mobile game with ads that are just lies offers a sponsorship and is turned down live during the recording!

We discuss a random paperback book featuring fully broken-down strategies for beating the hottest video games of 1982. Also, Gimmick is awesome and I can't believe I only just now played it. I also can't believe how many other people got paid for reviewing it without playing it at all. TW's Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/dTrBruG⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcast games …

It's time for a new week, a new game, and a new elimination bracket! We talk about Pikmin 4, the Zelda timeline and handheld Zelda games, and the weirdest possible way to play Crash Bandicoot. Then it's Growl, a game that explodes like 400 times before you actually start playing it, and is basically average despite us spending almost the whole disc…

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.

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.

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.
