Abject Suffering 285: My Horse Prince
There are few experiences as disappointing as figuring out that a game is supposed to be funny.

We've got Resident Evil on the brain after playing the magnificent remake of Resident Evil 2. So we decided to turn our attention toward a different kind of adaptation... Capcom's first attempt to expand the RE continuity into CGI film. Resident Evil: Degeneration takes place shortly after RE4, and it has Leon and Claire teaming up to clean up another T-virus mess. Also a mess: this movie. It's confusing and boring, and we ended up wishing it was just a game instead.

SuperGiant is a studio we really love. We've covered both Bastion and Transistor on this show, so when William Rouse executive-produced an episode about Pyre it was a wonderful chance to complete the SuperGiant collection. And while there is plenty to love about Pyre's world, visual design, and music, we felt that the fantasy basketball came up a little short. Listen in to learn the specifics on why we felt the way we did, and give the game a shot to see if it lands the same for you. Support Wat...
The moon pushes and pulls on our bodies in mysterious ways.
A debatable kusoge title derails into conversation about probability, and which animal you would inflict the human curse upon.
Solomon joins us to talk about the proto-Miis and candy bars.
Someday something's coming, from way out beyond the stars. It'll kill us while we stand there, and they'll store our brains in mason jars.
Kole and Gary chat up Iska and Arlen (I tell you what) in Immortal Unchained.
Hello! During the break between Hulk seasons, we decided to post the audio from the live Days of Future Cast, recorded during Duckstream 2018. Heads up: audio quality isn't as nice as you're used to, because it was recorded live. Enjoy!
Our second favorite.
Kole, Ben, Jala, and David talk about the release of Apex Legends, Frost Punk, and we ask you what your longest gaming session was.

The Wii Shop closing down The Multiplayer: What was your longest marathon gaming session? The Grind: Ben: Frostpunk. Jala: Tiny Bird Garden. Octopath Traveler. Kole: Resident Evil 2. David: Desola...
Super Mario Bros. 2 is unfairly ignored, either because of its provenance or because it's not a trailblazer like its predecessor, or as finely tuned as its successor. But it deserves credit for being ambitious, weird, and serving as the springboard for a lot of the great things we love about Mario games. So come along and listen to our case for why this might be the best of the NES Mario games. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!
Y'all forgot that, at one point, Austin Powers was really good. This game, however, isn't. At least not entirely. It's got a great conceit, so just picture your GameBoy Color being your tip calculator with Mike Myers as your guide.
Get outside a bit.
This video has Reggie Watts, what more do you need? Oh, Terrance Stamp? He's here too.
Which one of you is pranking us by putting a willowisp in every monster manual!?!?
Welcome to the worst.
