This is a podcast that's nominally about bad games. In reality, it's about the horror of daily life, GameFAQs Gold, strange combatants in the battle of Good vs. Evil, and a singular patriarch known only as Crick. Every Monday, Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross choose a game at random from the titles submitted by listeners, play it, and venture off on a freeform discussion that winds between the topic at hand, and the absurd.

Episodes

Episode 171: Cyberia

My cyber friends, let us avoid the crunchpunks by plugging this filthy jack into the back of our elbows... Here we are: absorbed within the placentaverse of this vegan dopplersphere.

Episode 169: Space Ace

Our most foul game prototype yet springs from a game that falls in the bottom 5% of everything we've ever covered on this show.

Nov 28, 2016•33 min

Episode 165: NotGTAV

Slight discussion of a super British anti-game quickly gives way to an anxious therapy session about the 2016 US election. You've been forewarned!

Episode 163: Gender Bender DNA Twister Extreme

Gotta say this will be a weird one, Syrg. It's a dicey thing to talk about, hopefully we treat the subject matter with a respect that is completely lacking in the original product.

Episode 162: Fun 'n' Games

Prepare for a game that's better than Mario Paint, if your metric for quality is "number of animal sounds available for music composition".

Episode 161: Pesterminator: The Western Exterminator

From behind you, you hear a wheezing rasp. Before you can turn, you feel the rush of air. You know he's standing there, wagging both his finger and his hammer. As though to confirm the inevitable, you make the last movement you'll ever make. You wheel around. It's Kernel Kleanup. You've been deemed inpure. Oblivion awaits.

Exquisite Suffering 14: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

It's a boilerplate, mostly competent third person shooter that's obviously of its time, with lots of really neat arcade-style reward loops thrown in for good measure. But the real star here is the surreal, over the top trappings that could only come from the mind of the hubristic branding tycoon that is 50 Cent. Yes, this game has been beaten to death. But there's just so much here to talk about.

Episode 160: Aero the Acro-bat

It's an also-ran on the level of Sparkster and Bubsy, an attempt to cash in on the mascot craze with the ugliest hero imaginable. It's Aero, the Acrobatic Bat.

Episode 159: Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action!

This raffle-winner episode about a terrible, outdated isometric collectathon comes with a SEVERE content warning for the last third of the episode... specifically for people who get squeamish about eye stuff.

Episode 158: The Ooze

The ultimate lesson of this tech-demo stretched to full game is "be yourself." Also, if any viscous substance crosses our doorstep, we'll immediately start talking about ejaculate.

Episode 157: Catechumen

Nick Glauber joins us this week to talk about a misguided Christian FPS that's so bad, it makes us physically ill and destroys our computers. Special Guest: Nick Glauber.

Sep 05, 2016•42 min

Episode 155: South Park

It's a game that will make you physically ill, and ideologically queasy!

Aug 22, 2016•54 min

Episode 153: Boogerman

Of all the games to break the top 10% of things we've covered for the show, how in the world is "Boogerman" one of them?

Aug 08, 2016•33 min

Episode 149: Holy Diver

Evan Jones Thorne, you've been down too long in the midnight sea. Oh what's becoming of me. Ride the tiger, you can see his stripes but you know he's clean... Oh don't you see what I mean. Gotta get away... Evan Jones Thorne. Special Guest: Evan Jones Thorne.

Episode 148: Kids on Site

The Forces of Evil are bolstered as Fruit Man joins their ranks, with his demonic possession meat puppet Dizzy and their plaything Nuts.
