M&M’s Beach Party for the Wii is one of the more anemic minigame collections we’ve covered, and we’ve already done deep dives into M&M’s lore… So this week we pitch a new M&M’s character: a grey M&M with a cashew sticking out of it, named Hercules PoundClit. He’s a sensitive, masculine man who exists to make the ladies swoon.

If you've never wondered what Pac-Man got up to in high school, then all I can say is what is wrong with you? There's romance, ghosts, and a confusing set of rules for what the power pellets do. And a theme song that barely sounds like real music! PRODUCER'S NOTE: This is a reupload, as there was an error in the original upload. Sorry for the double-take!

Tiny pixels, books that can only be read in the dark, crows! These are only some of ghoulish terrors that one may find in The Last Door - Season 1. Before Blasphemous, The Game Kitchen showed us their vision of a lo-fi point and click adventure game where we play the role of a Lovecraftian protagonist, poking at the corners of the world we do not yet understand.

The word “faselei” means “babble” in German, which is a better description of this podcast than this game. Faselei!, our first Neo Geo Pocket Color game, is actually kind of neat… a turn-based tactics game with a very unique action system. The problem is, it’s about mechs… about which we have little to say. So instead we talk about inhalants, that wonderful feeling of finally identifying a half-remembered game from your childhood, and the bizarre ceremony of hockey games.

This week we head deep into the Scorpion River valley to explore the base of the Rauh Ruins, a.k.a. that one very hidden map marker. No, not that one. The other one. We end up hitting our final forge dungeon, and exploring a catacomb with a very goofy and deadly threat.

This week we turn our attention to Scadu Altus, the region north of Castle Ensis which Messmer’s armies call their home. This region is less populated with notable landmarks than its non-shadow counterpart, but we end up finding something pretty important in the grisly fort where the Crusade executed those who failed it.

Pamela Anderson was everywhere in the 90s, as a sex symbol and an object of ridicule. And none of her projects is more forgotten than V.I.P., the show where she bumbles into starting a bodyguard agency for the stars. And now, you, can fulfill your lifelong dream of playing a barely interactive video game adaptation of her adventures!

I earnestly, honest to glob, don't ever remember submitting this game. But it does sound like something I would do. --Gwen Sniping is one of the most fun activities in a video game, and probably one of the least fun things to do in real life. That didn’t stop the sniper game boom in the 2000s, which included the budget PS2 title The Sniper 2… a game whose sole redeeming factor is its terrible cutscenes. You can only get so much mileage out of talking about sniping, so we turn to discussing the r...

A Sword of Fire. And Ice. This week we tackle a Legacy-ish Dungeon, Castle Ensis. Don’t get us wrong, the boss fight here is very good… but the level design and lore here are both threadbare. They can’t all be winners, but the good news is that every other dungeon is better than this one.

If you go anywhere used games are sold, you’ll see shelves choked with DS and Wii shovelware. And this week’s game, Wonder World Amusement Park, is emblematic of everything about that phenomenon. But of course, Gary picked this game to have an excuse to talk about his trip to the Oregon State Fair, which featured a real life reenactment of The Zoo Race.
