We're finally doing it! Our epic episode on our latest favorite game ever: Baldur's Gate 3. Corri sat this one out but Ben and Jason had a grand old time talk the ins and outs of this epic adventure.

Hope you didn't starve while waiting for this episode to satiate your ravenous hunger for our dulcet tones! We're back and ready to chat all about Klei Entertainment's Don't Starve that came out originally in 2013.

Another month sans Corrigan, but the Helms Bros are back at it again with a blast from the...recently released games: Season: A Letter to the Future. A laid-back adventure game with an ethereal aesthetic that is best when you're not rushing through things, Season was a joy to play. Sit down on a sacred square of earth and listen as we recap our fav…

Hey there Zelda fans, have we got a game for you! We did our MOLMFiest on this one and nailed the perfect Goldilocks between the three hosts: one of us loved it, one of us hated it, and Ben though it was juuuuuuuust...fine.

Our Spookilogy is complete! I know, I know, we're a month past Halloween, that didn't stop us from playing three scary games. This third one is a doozie too!

Happy Halloween! Here's the second of three games of our MOLMFoween Spooktacular Trifectathon!!!

We're back again with our new podcast style: a giant jumble of what we've been playing! Huzzah! Hopefully this little table of contents will help you if you're looking for something specific. After chatting about some of the changes, the gang gets into what Corri's been up to this month - mostly Pyschonauts 2 (16:00). Then Jason gets into his month…

We have kind of a different episode for you this month. Instead of playing ONE game, the gang gets together and talks about ALL the games they've been enamored with as of late. And instead of one game getting a drink and a song, each one of us tried to summarize our entire month's journey into a drink and a song. Hope you enjoy! Jason starts things…

We're back this month with a Side Quest episode betwixt two "normal" episodes...but honestly this is functionally just a normal episode with two caveats: The normal Men Of Low Moral Fiber have been replaced by our lovely guest, with just as much and/or more levels of Moral Fiber. John LaTour joins Corrigan to talk about their latest obsession: Deat…

There's games that have crafting, then there are crafting games, and this one my friends is a crafting game. Much of enjoyable, plenty of laughs and good times, but MAN.

Man oh man this game was surprisingly TERRIFYING. Just wow. If you were lucky enough to play the original Outer Wilds back when we covered it in 2019, then you were probably just as excited to get back to this universe and boy did it deliver. Wow. It's an amazing game, but also a liiiittle scary. So get your big boy pants on and join us as we dive …

Usually when Jason suggest a game, Corri and Ben roll their eyes and grumble. Well that's what happened here too...but then they played Hades and TOTALLY CHANGED THEIR MINDS!!! Man this game is dope. Ben and Corri each put 80+ hours into it this month and wow. What a game. Hope you get a chance to play it, even if you've never played a rogue-like b…

We did it! Another year! Huzzaaahhhh!!!! And we couldn't have done it with you, dear listener. Or at least, it would've been a lot more boring. Join us as we celebrate the holidays and look back on another great year in the MOLMFiverse. And even though it's our longest episode ever (EVER!), feel free to skip all the awards and suggestions and jump …

Another day, another sequel! That's right, we're back and talking about one of our most favoritest franchises ever: PYSCHONAUTS!!! This time, the recently-released sequel aptly entitled: Psychonauts 2! After some intro-ing we get into the development (7:00) then seamlessly slide right into the gameplay (13:00). Eventually we get into a classic roun…

As long as we've been playing video games, we've been playing sports video games. From NHL '94 and NBA JAM to NFL Blitz and FIFA, we love the challenging, fun, and social nature of these games. So we figured, let's do a whole ep focused on just that. It's a little bit of a turn from our usual pointy, clicky adventures, but we figured if we enjoy th…

Happy Halloweeeeen!!! Hope you had your fill of candy and were also able to play Little Nightmares 2 this month. If not, give it a go now. It's sure to keep the creep factor going for a little while long. We meandered through the intro and development and eventually arrive at the gameplay section (14:00), then we play some "What's The Drink? What's…

We're pushing back our Halloween game a few week so we can get our latest obsession onto the pod: DEATHLOOOOOP! Definitely enjoying this latest hit from Arkane, so hopefully you get a chance to play it for a bit.

Always fun playing a new kind of game, and photography simulator was one we hadn't tackled yet. Umurangi Generation was not only fun, but it was also amazingly well-crafted and told a poignant story with a thought-provoking POV. Really refreshing and just a great time overall. Hope you get a chance to play it! We start off by talking about how the …

Trying to figure out how to tell your friends about our pod? Send em a link to this 90 second trailer for an itty bitty taste of what they can expect to hear in a full length pod. Jason, Ben, and Corrigan play classic LucasArts video games (and related games) and talk about them. They cover the history, gameplay, and the most difficult puzzles from…

We played another game! I know, just when you thought we could never top the greatness of our previous episode, we go out and do just that! Anyway, here's a great game called A Short Hike that we all really got a kick out of. It's a shorty, but a goodie. Give it a shot and I bet you'll love it. We start off with some intro jibber-jabber then get in…

We're late...again. But to make up for that, Jason and Ben jumped on the mics to tell of all their adventures on their brand spanking new PS5s, as well as some (a lot of) hilarious anecdotes along the way. Enjoy! And don't forget, A Short Hike will be out next week! Man, that game is a blast. And of course, you can always find us at the following p…

Welcome back to the show, Mark Lewis! Always fun having him on the show, and always fun playing a classic Nintendo series like Mario. Just back to the basics with this one...except for it being different than any game we've ever played and a wholly unique experience completely unto itself. Hope you've gotten a chance to play it! After some BS and i…

Just a normal conversation between friends this month. Sorry, we didn't get to a game or podcast or anything. Nothing to see here... We definitely don't chat for a big before getting into the development of a video game (10:30) and diving deep into our own experiences playing it. We definitely don't play a game based on that game where we pick a dr…

Welcome to spring! To celebrate the new blooms on the trees and new baby animals springing up everywhere, we're playing a game entirely centered around death and dying...but in the cutest way possible! Seriously though, this game was heavy, and light, and well, basically EVERYTHING to us. So much so, that we had to bring on a special guest, Corriga…

Someday we'll make it back to a 1980s LucasArts game...BUT NOT TODAY! This month we're diving deep into Donut County and loving every sugary crumb of it. It's not often a game is created, designed, programmed, scored, and produced by just one person...but this one somehow was and it's kind of a masterpiece! So get your pink boxes ready and your dus…

We're getting back to our roots and really pandering to our target audience (and ourselves) with this month's throwback: Escape From Monkey Island. Released in Y2K, this beast of a puzzle-monkey-kombat-adventure game is full of some of our favorite characters, locations, inside jokes, and even a nod to the name of the pod itself! Hope you get a cha…

Happy holidays to all and to all a good pod! Here are our end of the year awards for all the games we played. We talk plenty of games, but also LOTS of tangents. Hope you enjoy it. And stay tuned for our bloopers and bleepers highlight reel at the very end. It's a doozy. It's been a great ride and we're looking to many more years of gaming together…

It's our December game!!! Hope this helps bring some warmth to your holiday season and Jason welcomes on Renata Price, games critic formerly of Fanbyte who somehow enjoyed Paradise Killer even more than Jason. It's a real love fest. Hope you were able to play! (Unlike lazybones Corrigan and sluggard Ben) After the introduction they get into the dev…

For the first time in the history of MOLMF, we're not publishing our game on time. 2020 is still 2020. So while our Paradise Killer ep is still a few weeks away, Jason and Ben got together to have a little conversation about some of their favorite games they've played recently, as well dealbreakers they've discovered over the years. Enjoy! And of c…

Happy Halloween!!! Hopefully you're finding fun ways to celebrate the spookiest of holidays, full of plenty of candy and terrors--I know we are! We played the terrifying and surprisingly thoughtful and story-centric tale Little Nightmares, and we're bringing it to you a week early so you can rightfully celebrate All Hallows' Eve with our scariest e…

We took a quick break from Little Nightmares to play another MOLMF classic: Star Wars Squadrons. It's a new Star Wars game so of course we had to play it and we were even lucky enough to bring in our old Friend Of Low Moral Fiber Sean Thompson to help us take her for a spin! Thanks again to Sean for joining us! And of course, you can always find us…

We downloaded this game YEARS ago, so it's a pleasure to finally get to talk about it as we welcome in Dr. Wendi Sierra onto the pod as a scholar, game developer, writer, and Oneida tribe member. We start off getting into who Wendi is and diving into her area of research, then we dive into the game itself and all of our experiences playing it. Afte…

We're running things back...to earlier this year. That's right, it may be a new game, but it definitely hearkens back to the games of yore that inspired this pod in the first place. Hope you get a chance to play it! It's another one of those great episodes where the history and development just smooshes into the gameplay with no discernible separat…
