After the harrowing experience that was covering Wing Commander last month, we needed a palate cleanser. So enter a new kind of episode: a survey of video game-related episodes of popular cartoons! We assure you this isn’t just an excuse to talk about things we already like.
First we disc...

Wouldn't it be nice to run around and pretend like you had the superpowers you always read about in comic books? City of Heroes takes the pen and paper daydreams of children and translates them to a much-beloved cult MMO. Does it stand the test of time? Or are you better off just fucking around w...

Gonna be honest, it’s weird to record an episode that stays on topic like this one does. Everyone remembers the Eternal Champions, right? A franchise beloved enough that it got two character-specific spinoffs before Mortal Kombat got even one? X-Perts (unrelated to the X-Men) is in the running ...

The Great Ellac Bridge crosses a dividing line in the Gravesite Plain, a large canyon that stands between the ground we’ve already covered and Castle Ensis. The far side is fortified and narrow, but has many mysteries to explore before we head into the castle itself. This week we tackle castle-...

Whether you’re a goodie-goodie or a ne’er-do-well, Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate III will culminate with some massive battles at Moonrise Towers. This week we talk about dealing with Ketheric’s forces on the ground floors before ascending to the roof to fight the man himself… with or without t...

Bomberman is simple, and Bomberman is forever… even if his heyday as the mainstay of multiplayer party games is mostly in the past. This week’s episode is a look at the series as a whole, with particular attention toward Super Bomberman 2, the height of the series on SNES. This episode will s...

Would you believe us if we told you that the Shadowfell is a place that sucks? Having just completed all of Shar’s exams, we plunge into her realm to confront Balthazar and figure out what to do with the Nightsong, aka Dame Aylin the Aasimar.

This week's episode takes us into the highest reaches of Belurat, to fight the Divine Beast Dancing Lion and learn the sad tale of Hornsent Grandam. She just wants to make you some awful soup, as long as you catfish her enough.

The Grind:
This week we talk about Illusion of Gaia, an action RPG that completes the Quintet Trilogy… or quadrilogy? Depends which games you include. How does it stack up against the others, and which world cultures will it mangle for RPG melodrama? The only way to find out is to listen in.

There's a doll who leads a life of danger
To everyone she meets she stays a stranger
With every move she makes another chance she takes
Odds are she won't live to see tomorrow

It's time to tackle our first Legacy Dungeon of the DLC, the sieged settlement beneath that impossible, shadowy tower. Belurat's lower quarters are choked with the shades of its defenders, still attempting to hold the line. And there's at least one crusader still here, the annoyingly devout Messm...
