Picking games to cover on Abject Suffering is hard. We don’t like hitting ones that have been talked to death. So sometimes we just grab something with a name that calls out to us. What’s a Troddler? What does a Troddler mean for my life? We never would have guessed that Troddlers, a game nobody has heard of, might actually be a pretty fun puzzle game. Color us shocked!
Kaye, Ben, Dennis, and Moxie talk about Kaizen: A Factory Story, Look Outside, Descenders Next, and much more! The Grind: Ben: House Flipper. Skin Deep. Skald: Against the Black Priory. Kaye: Look Outside. Dennis: Descenders Next. Kaizen: A Factory Story. Moxie: NOTHING. The Multiplayer: Assign someone a game to play as punishment. The End Boss: Splitgate 2 goes back to beta. The hunting game genre was created almost entirely for one Walmart executive. Anti-porn groups pressure Visa, Mastercard ...
Can a robot's heart beat like a man's? What makes us human? Probably puzzle solving. Robots can't solve puzzles. Prove me wrong, kids.
This week we speak with Jeremy Greer, of Days of Future Cast and many other shows, about his experiences with the Shadow of the Erdtree. We also read your responses to Castle Ensis and Scadu Altus! Reposted in remembrance of our good friend Jeremy Greer. f5axtjj6
This movie was so influential it's easy to watch it and think "I've seen this before!" But take yourself back to 1995 when this genre standard burst onto the scene. Se7en is still every bit as dark and affecting as we remember. The sequel, Ei8ht, on the other hand? That one has aged very poorly.
Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Jeremy Greer talk about Lothric Castle. Reposted in remembrance of our good friend Jeremy Greer.
I'll be honest, I was sleepy and sad about my sick cats while recording this one, but Gary would be a model S-Way employee.
Wild Woody is a swan-song for a system nobody owned, built around a power fantasy nobody has ever had. Who wants to be a pencil? So we introduce a much more tempting fantasy… How many hot dogs could you be trusted with?
Jeremy Greer joins us to talk about the remainder of Immortal: Unchained, as we storm Apex Citadel, face a completely unforeseen betrayal, and finally transcend reality itself. Reposted in remembrance of our good friend Jeremy Greer.
This very special episode takes a break from Dark Souls 3 to count down Gary and Jeremy Greer's bottom ten Soulsborne areas!

Breaking Bad is over, but a question still remains... what happened to Huell? We would like to thank Gwen Static for composing our theme song, and Trent Peters for creating our great podcast art.

Don't choke me out; I never eat meatballs.
Arachnophobia is now mostly forgotten, but it was once a beloved one-off horror comedy movie about extremely virile spiders overtaking a small town. Then they made a game out of it, and it was very boring! So we talk about Brian Wilson’s obsession with “Short’nin’ Bread” instead.
In this episode, we find that the grout is already cleaned out, and have a night at the museum. Other Segments: Chronicles of Darkness: Hunt down the skinny on Vampire Hunters Handbook for the Recently Deceased: Celerity Protean Protips: Gary has a microtip to share

Does this have the least good soundtrack of the original run of Tony Hawk games? Probably! Does it still kick a good amount of ass? Yes. THPS3 continues broadening the scope of the beloved skateboarding franchise, with one key idea: More. More secret areas, more goofy levels, more ways to extend your combo! Check out this sweet kickflip! Support Watch Out for Fireballs!
A perfect encapsulation of 80's movie jank. It's dumb, it's sexist, but boy are the boss fights cool. And it inspired SmashTV! What more could you ask for? Join Ahnold as he battles the gauntlet and attempts escape from a sadistic TV show with life-or-death stakes.
Dipping back into the archives this week in memory of the very funny, very missed Jeremy Greer.
We don’t know anything about soccer, but we DO know things about Mega Man. Unfortunately, this game leans more on the soccer side of the equation. So we default back to the last time either of us played sports: in gym class. We also talk about our recent trips to festivals, both Renaissance and Pride.
This is the road that takes Jesse Pinkman far, far away from this whole mess. The 63rd episode of Breaking Bad, presented as a feature presentation. El Camino is different from the main series, but only in so much it was built as an epilogue movie from the ground up. This is a character study, and isn't as much concerned with moving the plot forward as much as some Breaking Bad fans would have hoped it would be. We quite like it, though. We would like to thank Gwen Static for composing our theme...
