TW's dumb sports game obsession, running down original Xbox games, and one of the worst games we've played in a while. Apologies for the music at the end, but that's honestly what the experience of playing this game was like. Why did Nintendo bother re-releasing this, seriously?

After weeks of talking about it, we finally decided to muster up the courage to be free.

Spiced Coke, Korean soda habits, and horny Rareware throughout this episode! I'm pretty sure that Battletoads is deeply overrated as a franchise.

A holiday tradition continues as Tom and TW play a Home Alone game in December for the fourth year in a row! And somehow they appear to have found the worst and most irredeemable one! Along the way we jump into the debate on what an indie game is, the Sega Master System collection in Like a Dragon Gaiden, and first game ads we remember drawing our …

Mega Man 3 (NES) and the Windows 11 New Coke 1:18:57

1:18:57

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.

1:02:01

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.
