You can't help but feel a little bad for Buckner and Garcia. They wrote a fun song about an arcade game they liked, and ended up being forever branded as a novelty act and a one-hit wonder. The record label railroaded them into making an album full of video game songs to take advan...

This episode solidifies an axiom for Abject Suffering episodes: the funnier a game is trying to be, the more serious the episode will end up. Crypt Worlds is a 2013 anti-game that's chock full of surreal imagery and weird-Twitter-like writing. It's also not bad, but we have questions abo...

Autumn and Jeremy Greer join me for an episode that begins a flashback to Roland's first adventure as a gunslinger. He, Alain, and Cuthbert venture to the town of Hambry in the eastern barony of Mejis for protection... but instead find themselves in the grips of a larger plot and greater danger. ...

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and Jala talk about Super Mario Odyssey, Sony’s weird trophy reward program, and we ask you which games pull you into a time hole.
We're unabashed in our love of Maniac Mansion and other early LucasArts adventure games. So it shouldn't be a surprise that we jumped all over the Thimbleweed Park Kickstarter when it was announced. And we were right to do so, because Ron Gilbert, Gary Winnick, and company have made something tru...

Time for some time travel shenanigans! We're covering One Man's Worth part 1 and 2, and talking a lot about random things on the internet because these episodes repeat a lot of scenes. Time travel, y'all!

Gary and Kole load up Transistor and break their way through it, having a very good time in the process. Transistor is still new enough to be a little controversial. People came to it from Bastion, the previous Supergiant game, and didn't know what to make of its semi-turn-based combat and techni...

When there's no more room in hell, Harvey Keitel will fall apart and Jon Lovitz will masturbate in a tree. Little Nicky isn't just a singularly unpleasant movie, it's a completely inexplicable GameBoy Color game. Listen in to hear us talk about its platforming, its mini-games, and the physiologic...

Evan Jones Thorne joins me to talk about the resolution to the cliffhanger from the Waste Lands, as we learn how the ka-tet escapes from the clutches of the mad train Blaine the Mono. But what they find outside his careening hull isn't much better. Did you really expect it to be?
