So, here's a new thing we're gonna try doing. The past few episodes, our post-show meetings in which we discuss the episode name and banner contents, as well as just shoot the breeze a little more, have been really funny. At least, to us. So, we decided we're going to start recording these "aftershows" as bonus content for you listeners! No Patreon required! Think of these as like... a bonus fourth segment. They probably won't run longer than a half hour in most cases, but yeah. Trying this out ...

This week on the Random Assault Podcast, listener Brooks joins us to recap E3 2016, as well as talk about the abortions that are Funko Pop Vinyl figures, butt-rock and different sub-genres of metal, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and the awesomeness that is Yu-Gi-Oh Season Zero (or the first 7 volumes of the manga, depending). SEGMENT 1: - Rhythm Heaven Megamix is low-key released - Mitch's crazy NX prediction - Windows 10 and Microsoft's future plans - Sony killed it at E3 - LEGO Dimensions Season 2...

This week on the Random Assault Podcast, it's just Mitch and Matt, so you just know the ire and piss will fly. It's episode 2 of their spin-off show from episode 200! Mitch hurts himself in order to bring you eyewitness coverage of a game that is three years old, we talk about our gaming set-ups, sports games, old G4 shows, and Kickstarter scams. And then the third segment just kinda... ends. Yeah. SEGMENT 1: - Matt rants - Gone Home - Old G4 - Sports games - Limited edition consoles SEGMENT 2: ...

This week on the Random Assault Podcast, we're joined by Michael Cowden, creator of Super 80's World! Naturally, we talk a ton about 80's culture, so this is mostly a normal episode. That is, until we also start talking about discovering Asian pop music through Japanese arcade games, how worthless virtual reality is, and the correct definition of 8-bit. SEGMENT 1: - Super 80's World - The evolution of the 80's - Getting around lawsuits with likenesses and names - Fast food toys - Playing the OTH...
Jun 23, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, Willy fills in for Alex so that we can finally talk about how terrible Batman V Superman was! We also wonder about the quality of the newer consoles' graphics, Matt jacks off to Miami Vice, and then Kate talks for a solid hour about the new X-Files and Marathon. Like, the old Bungie game Marathon. Yeah. SEGMENT 1: - Overwatch - Reaper usernames - PC vs console - PAX East - Why is League of Legends still a thing? - Uncharted 4 - Last-gen's best graphics vs...
Jun 13, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, we're Alex-less and left to discuss the major issues plaguing our world today... like alternative bands from the 90's, cats, dogs, obscure video game consoles, and the most despicable of objects: books. SEGMENT 1: - Star Citizen - Mobile games are screaming dudes - Fembusters - Books! - Oliver Twist - The Fairy Queen - Shakespeare - The Catcher in the Rye - Hot Topic - Barenaked Ladies - Gin Blossoms SEGMENT 2: - Marilyn Manson - PS2 games - From Russia W...
Jun 07, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast... it's a bit of a weird one. It's got plenty of hysterical highs and lulling lows, but it's filled to the brim with content. Mitch takes one for the team and watched the majority of the first season of Rick and Morty, Matt checks up on his two old flames: Turok and Spoony, and Kate does unspeakable things to her bed. Get ready for a cantankerous episode. SEGMENT 1: - Overwatch porn - Pocket Card Jockey - Disney Infinity is dead, Disney no longer publishin...
May 27, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, Mitch and Kate are absent but David Reinhardt fills in to talk about anime (because that's a weekly requirement now I guess), how Hollywood continues to ruin Ghostbusters, and those champions of celluloid, the Wayans. SEGMENT 1: - Anime - Riki-Oh SEGMENT 2: - Fightin Words - Ghostbusters - Muppets SEGMENT 3: - The Wayans - Zelda speculation
May 22, 2016
This week on the Random Assault podcast, we get down to the nitty-gritty involving Nintendo. Like if Miitomo is even worth your time, or if Hyrule Warriors is even a good game. Matt complains about Roman Reigns, Anamanaguchi leaks a bunch of new music, and Mitch has another retarded quiz to give games away. Please take your free point on the way out. SEGMENT 1: - Confidence(?) - Blocking entire YouTube channels - Unfollowing people on Facebook - Miitomo - My Nintendo - Twilight Princess - Hyrule...
May 15, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, we're joined by Mike Ducarme to talk about his eye-catching and pulse-pounding game, Just Shapes and Beats! But before he arrives, we discuss Star Fox Zero and whether it truly lives up to the hype. Then Alex paralyzes our guest in fear with stories about death, we have a rousing debate about whether red or black licorice reigns supreme, and lament the death of music, thanks in part to Rock Band 4 getting a paid expansion this fall. Because did you expect...
May 15, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, Matt's got westerns to discuss, bad directors to lambaste, old games to re-evaluate, and we read TURbo's newest painfully-truthful prognosticus about our future situations.

This week on the Random Assault Podcast, Jack Hernandez joins us, but you might know her better as the voice of Kyu from HuniePop! Yes, everyone's favorite love fairy wingman (wingwoman?) talks with us about the Hunie series, the recently-released HunieCam Studio, and... East Coast diners. Because this is Random Assault and that's how things go 'round here. SEGMENT 1: - Jack's first aired interview? - What is a cuck? - HuniePop - HunieCam Studio - Funny voices - Voice actors SEGMENT 2: - Jack gu...

SEGMENT 1: - Nothing Good Can Come of This - Frog Fractions - Custom arcade cabinets - Agai...

This week on the Random Assault podcast, we get down to the nitty-gritty involving Nintendo. Like if Miitomo is even worth your time, or if Hyrule Warriors is even a good game. Matt complains about Roman Reigns, Anamanaguchi leaks a bunch of new music, and Mitch has another retarded quiz to give games away. Please take your free point on the way out. SEGMENT 1: - Confidence(?) - Blocking entire YouTube channels - Unfollowing people on Facebook - Miitomo - My Nintendo - Twilight Princess - Hyrule...
Apr 18, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, it's a low-key episode as Matt is sick, so Alex, Mitch and Kate are left to fend for themselves. They talk about a bunch of stuff that Matt SHOULD have been there for, like Wario Land, the Hulk Hogan vs Gawker spectacle, and cartoons made for children. They also argue about the Zelda timeline for like 15 minutes, almost exactly 100 episodes after arguing over the Mario timeline. History repeats itself, it seems. SEGMENT 1: - Miitomo - The deep web - 123 S...
Apr 09, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, newly-converted listener Brooks joins us to talk all about binging our show, all while we circlejerk about our best moments to date. Mitch reveals that he's completely inept enough to not be able to beat the Mega Man games without cheating, even if he's using his butthole to play. We also talk about the overrated mess that is Final Fantasy VII, the Rock Band 4 for PC debacle, and we answer YOUR questions, like how to force your son to come out of the clos...
Mar 31, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, we're joined by Eddie Spuhghetti of Here Lies fame! We talk a ton about 80's schlock, Eddie's homemade VHS mixes, synthwave, Commando, wrestling, Nicolas Picolas, and a forgotten comedian as a forgotten 90's platforming mascot. So, this is basically Matt's dream episode. SEGMENT 1: - Eddie Spaghetti (Here Lies) - Eddie's spooky nostalgia tapes - Video editing software - Kids like to get scared - Ghostbusters 3 - The ramifications of this movie - 80's schl...
Mar 22, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, we're back from MAGfest and ready to... recap MAGfest. But after that, Matt talks about anime, and he, Alex and Mitch break the unholy seal and watch as much Rick and Morty as their little eyes can stomach. Which is to say... about 4 episodes. Also we complain about vaping and trannies and Mitch goes off the deep end and buys an import game. Also, minor spoiler alert: Kate leaves the show temporarily for a sandwich. SEGMENT 1: - MAGFest Recap - Weird Japa...

We had the DC Stunt Coalition come on the third segment of our MAGFest 2016 episode, and they were so cool and so enthusiastic that we decided to make that segment alone Episode 204! (Plus, it went on for almost 2 hours.) Join us as we interview the DCSC crew about their on-stage performance at this year's MAGFest, "Enter the Grimdark", and be sure to check out their Facebook page! If you were at MAGFest this year, please let the people who run the convention know how important the DC Stunt Coal...

DISCLAIMER: This Minor Assault episode and Episode 204 are part of the same episode. We had the DC Stunt Coalition guys on for the third segment, and they were so good and so enthusiastic, (plus that segment went on for almost 2 hours), we just decided to make that one Episode 204. This Minor Assault is the first two segments of what would be that full episode. We're joined by listeners and fans alike, including TURbo, Chris Ott, Timmy Pags, and Richard Hotsauce Carolina, to recap our experience...
Mar 15, 2016
This week on Random Assault, we're under-staffed as Matt, Kate, and David Grindheart are here to talk a lot about stuff like Star Wars, Twin Peaks, Batman, Superman... they cover a lot of topics in this week's show. Makes sense, seeing as how Mitch isn't there to de-rail them and Alex isn't there to... be Alex. Hey, at least it's stuff Kate's interested in so she doesn't go off to make a sandwich mid-episode or something! SEGMENT 1: - Star Wars - Superman - Batman - Licensed music in cartoons an...
Mar 15, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, we are all gorillas. Also, we talk up old UPN live-action nightmares from our childhoods, Just Cause 3, Fullmetal Alchemist, and we go and see a Star War.

SEGMENT 1: - Tofu Tail - Danny DeVito - Japanese myth and lore - Yo-Kai Watch - Being an indie developer while being into games - Pittsburg - Mitch mixes up Billy Joel and Bob Dylan - Ale...

Feb 02, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, we talk about a bunch more Fallout! Because it was November when we recorded this. Or December. I've lost all sense of what time is. We also talk about Schwartzenegger doing movie commentaries, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and we even become a ska band! Finally. The dream is realized. I guess we really don't need a 200th episode after all. Hallelujah. I quit. We quit. SEGMENT 1: - Fallout - Terminator Genesys - Citizen Kane - Ahnold doing commentaries ...
Jan 26, 2016
This week on the Random Assault Podcast, listener Valentin joins us to talk a bunch about Bond, Metal Gear, and whether The Last of Us or Fallout 4 had the better depiction of Boston!

SEGMENT 1: - SPECTRE - The quality of James Bond movies - Dave Bautista is the faggiest big guy - Jessica Jones SEGMENT 2: - Metal Gear Solid V - News flash: Konami is bad - News flash: other game companies are bad - Fallou...

Hello out there, from the glowing green jewel of the Commonwealth! Join Matt, Alex, Mitch, and listeners WillyFresh and Breener as they take a tour through Bethesda's newest janky epic (now that they've had some time to spend with it.) From the nostalgic hills of Sanctuary to the desolate wastes south of the border, we gush over Fallout 4 and its effect on our lives since it dropped back in November.
Jan 13, 2016
This week on the Random Assualt podcast, we have Justin Pappas of Albino Lullaby fame on! Perhaps you've heard of Albino Lullaby. It's that game with the creepy faces that look like if Tim Burton designed teeth for an educational video about gum disease! We also talk about Ben 10, the Nintendo Direct that happened back in November, and SPECTRE. SEGMENT 1: - No one's played Albino Lullaby - Subtle horror - Squirrels - Here comes a special boy - Sleep paralysis - Ben 10 - Are we sociopaths? SEGMEN...
Jan 05, 2016
This week on the Random Assault channel, we're joined by the makers of F**ktionary, which is kind of like Cards Against Humanity meets Pictionary, if that even makes sense. We try to stump them with our own dirty definitions, but this is actually a very well-spoken episode, despite the guests and subject matter. Mitch also forces Alex to play HuniePop, we visit Crimson Peak, and we ask Jacoby Shadix some questions. SEGMENT 1: - F**ktionary - We make up our own dirty definitions SEGMENT 2: - Magi...
Dec 29, 2015
