It's Guess Who, but it's got a sexually implicit name and is maybe a commentary on capital punishment? Frank hosts this 2015 game by the team who brought you Super Meatboy and The Binding of Isaac is... a game... We discuss the difficulty of discerning what things are 'not gross' in this art style, kill a lot of people, Frank gives us stats on capital punishment and we meander into talk about Invincible and Justice League. This homage to Frank's finger tips leaves us thinking of newgrounds and ebaumsworld, but despite the fandom from Edmund Mcmillen the reviews aren't all good.

This week we dive back into the 90s childhood of Apple II games, among the Oregon Trail's and Number/Word Munchers, you might have played a business sim called DinoPark Tycoon. This very early theme park managing game taught children the value of income and expense as well as the inevitable failure of owning your own business. Were we better at this game as kids? Why the hell is it so difficult? Are we in an alternate universe where dinosaurs enslave dinosaurs and there was a T. Rex president? We cover it all in this episode with Tom, Grace, Frank and Chris.

Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is a game starring Marlow Briggs and a mask of death. It is difficult to summarize the self-awareness and joy that this game finds in it's niche of over-the-top action and absurdity. With it's God of War style mechanics, it's excellent tone and startling apt graphics, this may just be the most enjoyable (but lowest critic reviewed) game we've found on Garbage Game Night.
