Much like Thanos, this episode was inevitable. Proper pronunciation be damned, we all know how we'd say this game's name. It only seems fitting, then, that the home of Gorp the Eggplant Dragon give it a dedicated review. Join us as we welcome Coury of My Life in Gaming to the show to discuss 5 stages of roundhouse kickin'.

The next Patron-selected Top 5 topic is here, and that means it's time for us to weeb out about which of the many JRPG weapons out there we would like in our homes. The definition of "weapon" might have gotten stretched a bit by someone, but our lawyer advised us to claim that fault lies entirely with the Patrons' lack of specificity.

06/19/22 • 27 min

The next Patron-proposed, Patron-selected Top 5 showdown is here, and this one finds us ranking the games within the games: our personal selections for the best diversions that probably distracted us from the actual game for far too long.

Retro Hangover - Top 5 Infuriating Boss Battles | The Flight
play

06/18/23 • 39 min

Not every big bad comes packaged with a well designed encounter. Sometimes the difficulty balance is out of whack, sometimes the mechanics are just poorly thought out, and sometimes it feels like the developers forgot that games should be fun. Today we count down the absolutely annoying, the supremely sucky, and the punitively punishing boss battles.

We wrap up Spooptober with a doozy.
