The film that nobody asked for, and yet all we have left are questions. One thing the film certainly doesn't leave misunderstood: that sand? That's time sand. Not that the* prince uses it much. *There is more than once prince.
One monster, one grift, one INCREDIBLE TV SHOW
You likely don’t know what Spider-Man: City Raid is. It’s not a big budget title like the the Activision movie tie-ins or the recent Insomniac titles. In fact, it has no official license at all. It’s a Flash game made purely for the love of Spider-Man, and the Ram Jam song “Black Betty” for some reason.
This week we find the very hidden entrance to a very hidden path to a very hidden area. Shadow Keep hides a way to reach the Recluse’s River, which is the warpath that the hornsent inquisition took to bring great force to bear on Midra in the Abyssal Woods. Along the way we will complete our final two mini-dungeons and descend further than ought to be possible, as we approach the coolest area in the game.
In this episode we turn Orin’s Orinsides Inside Orout. Other Segments: Complete Priest’s Handbook: Divine Intervention Legends and Lore: Orin Find Familiar: Baal Butlers
Walt celebrates a birthday. Skyler goes for a swim. We would like to thank Gwen Static for composing our theme song, and Trent Peters for creating our great podcast art.
Casltevania evolves into the nest generation. This is the last hurrah of the Classic-vanias. Demanding platforming, simple progression. Dare we say we prefer them over the RPG-vanias at this point? Support Watch Out for Fireballs!
Two monsters, no waiting
This week we talk about the little-known PS2 game adaptation of Home Alone, a Christmas classic that was already super old in 2006 when this came out. But honestly, there’s very little there to talk about. Instead, we camp out on the taxonomical horror of a picture of corndogs Gary took ten years ago. Here’s the photo: https://bsky.app/profile/garybutterfield.bsky.social/post/3ldi4heqxj22c
The hands of the cosmos have many fingers, and all of their movements tell a story. But what that story means is up for interpretation. And this week we venture to the Cathedral of Manus Metyr and meet a very strange man named Count Ymir, who claims to have knowledge of the true nature of the Greater Will, the Two Fingers, and the origins of Marika’s divinity. Is he trustworthy? Who knows!? Let’s go blow whistles for him.
In this episode we… "do some butt-kicking for righteous justice". Wait, is that right? Other Segments: Deities and Demigods: Waukeen Legends and Lore: Minsc Fiend Folio: Giant Space Hamster
This one's just for you, our dear Patrons. We suck up our enemies and absorb their powers in this early, but charming Kirby adventure.
We did a party to raise money for charity. We stayed up all night even though we're so old. We did raise that money, though. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!
This technically constitutes our Christmas episode. (Contains no Christmas content.)
What is the meaning of Inspector Gadget? Is he basically a cyberzombie, which would explain the bungling? In which ball is the essence stored? This mostly on-topic episode is not afraid to ask the important and hard-hitting questions about this awful metal man.
This week we complete the last of Shadow Keep, exploring the rear of the Specimen Storehouse before killing Messmer’s best bud Commander Gaius, and stumbling across the location where Marika’s whole story began.
In this episode we lose it all to the Lady of Loss at The House of Grief. Other Segments: Character Roundup: Shadowheart Legends and Lore: Viconia Sage Advice: Mirror of Loss
Of all the crazy stuff that happens in Season 5, making meth inside a pest control house is the one that gets my vote for most outlandish. Still pretty good TV, though. We would like to thank Gwen Static for composing our theme song, and Trent Peters for creating our great podcast art.
Gary's reading Delta Green: Black Sites, Kole's watched Detroiters finally, and Gwen marvels at Severance.

Hello all, Every once in a while we like to make a big post like this to announce some changes. 2024 marked our ten year anniversary of funding ourselves through Patreon, and over that time we’ve increased the amount of content we put out each month. This year’s changes are going to be about refocusing, reining things in a bit, and making sure we’re putting our energy where it does the most good. The inspiration for these changes came from a WOFF! Dispatch question about vacations, and how we do...
Time to hack some side-quests and tech some gigs. We do a TON of hanging out with Johnny Silverhand and decide our fate. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!
Reign of Fire is the kind of movie you can’t make anymore, and that’s a good thing. It’s the perfect storm of post-9/11 militarism, and post-Lord of the Rings fantasy bandwagon chasing, with a pre-Batman Christian Bale and a pre-McConaughssaince Matthew McConnaughey. While a game about shooting dragons with guns should have a pretty high entertainment floor, this one absolutely biffs it by making you enact some of the worst vehicle combat to date.
We do one monster, and by "we" I mean Will and SPECIAL GUEST SUBSTITUTE GWEN STATIC!!!!
Bubble Bobble is elemental! How could you screw it up? Well, they found a way. Bubble Bobble Revolution isn’t just bad because it’s nonfunctional… even if you could get past level 30, it would still be an ugly game that feels bad in your hands. But there isn’t much to say beyond that, so enjoy a meandering talk about what the existence of the Costco Guys says about our chances of the world getting better, ever.
In this episode we recommend some BG3 Youtubers in The Role of Computers.
You’d never guess it, but there’s still more Shadow Keep left to explore. Approaching from the Bonny Village side gets you into the flooded Church District, an area that calls New Londo to mind. But what lies beneath the water is stranger and more mysterious than the Darkwraiths.
Kole, Dennis, and Moxie talk about the games we played for Duckstream, Withering Rooms, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and much more! The Grind: Kole: Resident Evil 2 Remake.
