Evan Thorne joins me for a history lesson in Calla folkways and close calls, as we learn the tale of Lady Oriza and Gray Dick, and hear from Granpere Jaffords about the time he saw a dead wolf. The ka-tet learns about a potential ace in the hole: the women of the Calla know how to throw sharpened titanium plates. But things start going wrong when Jake witnesses Susannah's nightly fugue states.
Picture is unrelated, but not really.
The delightful comedian Carolyn Main joins us to talk about an NES grappling hook game.
On this episode of Heartbeat City, Cozy is joined by Brayton Cameron to answer your questions. Special Guest: Brayton Cameron.

MVP of the book right here.
Add another one to our Motion Sickness Suite. Originally a 3DO-exclusive answer to Doom-like hallway crawlers, PO'ed tried very hard to establish its own voice by being irreverent and gross. So you go around slapping walking butt-vaginas with frying pans in a frictionless void. When we're done talking about the game, we talk about anger... and how we don't feel emotions anymore.
This episode concludes our coverage of NieR, as we talk about the endgame of Route A, and cover everything from Routes B, C, and D. NieR has thoroughly worn out its welcome at this point, even if there is some good stuff to be found in the tricks it plays. So come listen, and hear the specifics of our criticisms.

Not even Jeremy Irons can save this catastrophe. It's hard to believe it, but the Dungeons and Dragons movie came out in the year 2000. It looks and feels much older than that, hearkening back to a shoddier time in filmmaking. Not even the fully-committed hammery of Jeremy Irons can save this misguided and ramshackle disaster.
Don't corner an antelope and expect not to get eaten.
Kris and Kole talk about missed opportunities, flawed hagiographies, and big dick energy. ALSO: Missing the Journey concert. The second one is always hardest. Facebook calls the Declaration of Independence racist (and it’s slightly right). Who is the Brat Pack? Fireworks of passive aggression. This man did not earn his middle name. Agnes gets the hell out. Big Dick Energy. Giving up the Saudi con.
This game is actually quite good! As long as you get the DS version.
Just me and a few of my friends raisin' hell.
More Avengers everyone! This week we're covering episodes 5 and 6, which are titled Remnants and Command Decision, respectively. Ever wondered what the Avengers jungle armor looks like? Ever wanted to see Captain America be a giant dick to Ant Man? Well, buddy, we have you covered. This show is bad but honestly I think it's growing on me. OH NO
Kole, Ben, Jala, and David talk about Mega Man X Legacy Collections, Valve’s new Artifact details, and we ask you about your favorite tutorials.

The story of NieR continues as we build out our party and explore more modes of play. The doldrums of the previous episode give way to some minor delight. The Forest of Myth shows us a text adventure with a cool conceptual hook, while the Haunted Manor is a Resident Evil pastiche. Then we have to do it all again. This episode covers NieR up through the Forest of Myth, after the time jump. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!
Summer Jam season continues on with a twofer from the Dirtboys and PUSA. Lump and Peaches!
Do not shave the snake.
Welcome Home. Autumn Greer joins me to talk about a section of the book that focuses very heavily on Father Callahan, and his journey from 'Salem's Lot, across America's hidden todash highways, and finally to End-World. But we must also make a stop at Calla Bryn Sturgis to talk about Roland's weird rice cum dance. It's an eventful episode.
For a while in the 2000s we thought there was enough meat on classic arcade game bones to bear this kind of remake.
