Welcome back Skele-friends! This week Derek and the Deuce go over the trials and tribulations of 16-player Faceball 2000 for the original GameBoy.

We back, Skele-fam! It's the ultimate gaming episode as we recount our IRL Pikmin Bloom-ventures. Yes, there are at least four people that play this game and Seattle's Pikmin Bloom Community Day this weekend was a nightmare. Definitely one of the dumbest things we've ever participated in, and that's saying something. But we still had fun! Plus true…

Hello again skele-friends! This week our intrepid Producer Grace was out visiting family (which is also why this is going up so late), so we asked our local Seattle friend Kelsey Lewin to swing by and fill in. If you're not familiar with Kelsey, she is a very active person in the gaming community - co-owner of local retro game store Pink Gorilla, c…

Hi all! This week we spend an inordinate amount of time debating proper organizational systems for games, and discussing all the dooms inside of dooms inside of dooms that we’ve dared to ever doom about. There’s future video talk, AVGN talk, and petty arguing about granola bars. It’s a rip roaring time! If you have any opinions on the state of “the…

Hello Skelefam! What an auspiciously numbered episode! For no reason I can think of. This week the gang pours one out for the duders and discusses the games in their lives. Grace has small-fox-big-world sized feelings about Tunic while Derek returns to Let It Die, the 2016 free-to-play rouge/souls-like from Suda-51 that refuses to die. Resident Evi…

Hello Skele-fam!! It's Matcha May and Grace waxes poetical on sugar milk while Derek wonders how Kendrick Lamar managed to release a new album and bring back Silent Hill in the same week.

Hello again, Skela-Family! Well here we are, deep in the Summer of Morbius, yet we still managed to have a video game podcast! We keep the obligatory Elden Ring talk to a minimum (though not Tunic, sorry listeners that keep asking us about it, we'll get to it eventually!!), before some how having an extended plant conversation involve Jared Leto, G…

Hey Skele-fam! We're back with another piping hot, fresh podcast. We're a little off schedule, we had to skip last week but we're back!

In this episode, Grace finally made Derek watch High School Musical (something she'd been trying to do f…

Hello Skele-fam! Well, Sony is doing a GamePass, but it's quite different from actual GamePass. It's something that's been rumored for a long while and it's not really the best sell. Not having new games day-one is not great. Their best pitch is the promise of a gigantic library of classic games. It could be good, but it would need to do really imp…

Hello again, skele-fam! We made it to episode 64 if you can believe it! This episode starts with a brief PLANT UPDATE from Plant Mommy Grace, which I know you were all dying for. Of course Elden Ring is still getting many hours of play here at SSFF HQ, but Grace has really taken to it! She's been able to play it mainly because Uncle Derek was able …

Hey Skele-fam! Well, it turns out our Elden Ring concerns from the last episode were completely unfounded because I'm not sure if you've heard... but Elden Ring is pretty damn good! That's basically all Derek has been playing since it came out! And it brought up an interesting question - is it a deal breaker when a game gets complicated enough that…

Hello Skelefamily!! Sorry for the late posting (again). Actually, the posting is on time but the recording was not. We had to pushback the recording a day (for reasons we discuss) but that meant this was recorded on 2/22/2022! Which is significant... right? But in this episode Capcom's big countdown reveal and Street Fighter 6's dumb logo got your …

Hello Skelefamily! This episode is a questions bonanza! We've been getting more and more questions lately and Grace and I have always talked about doing a (mostly) all Q&A podcast episode. So this is it! However, because I tend to ramble, we *still* didn't get to everyone's questions! But we talk about what else we'd be doing if we weren't #content…

Welcome to 2022! Happy new year and happy new Stop Skeletons From Podcasting!

Hello Skele-fam! Welcome to the final SSFP of the year! And we wrap this year with an announcement that we are making a huge change to our Patreon, and with it, our financial situation.

Hello Skella-friends! You want to know what a weekend spent crunching on a very long video will do to a pair of people?

Hello again Skele-friends! We bring you tales of the strange things you can do with a 64DD and a Game Boy Camera, more on the Xbone video deep into production, and discuss how the Switch Online "Expansion Pak" is a pretty terrible deal in almost anyway you look at it (it's not even the most expensive service Nintendo has had before). Plus lots of q…
