RPGrinders EP 762 - RPGeezers (aka Happy Birthday Eric!)
Saturday Oct 14, 2023
Saturday Oct 14, 2023
As we come ever closer to the spookiest of holidays. The night seems to come sooner. It feels colder with every passing day. Once again, the dead walk the Earth. The oblivious mortals celebrate with sin and sweets. With the feeling of death in the air, it could only mean one thing. That's right, Friday the 13th of October! It's time to celebrate the man who Satan admires, Eric! The true meaning of the Halloween is finally revealed. It's because the things that go Bump in the Night party until November! Happy Birthday, Eric!
What better way is there to honor Eric then starting the show with his hard researched news? None! That's right. Not only should you thank him for Halloween. You need to thank him for the news! There are even a few releases to celebrate Eric's holiday. Sand of Aura, Little Goody Two Shoes and The Unliving all release before November. But if your gaming schedule is booked up until the end of the month, In Stars and Time and Hollow Cocoon release before the end of the year.
Even though this episode is a party, the Grinders spend time talking about the senseless killing happening in Israel and Palestine. The Grinders stand with the innocent people caught in the middle of another horrific war. Fuck all of the genocidal madmen involved! After spending time addressing the nightmare of a situation, the Grinders pivot to something more fun. The Sweetos! What could be sweeter than celebrating Eric's Birthday? Nothing! The party is so good, even the spirits are waking up to celebrate!
No celebration of darkness and everything awesome would be complete without another tournament! Sixty-four of the most gruesome kills and murders in cinema history! Who will claim the title of greatest movie killer? Will Freddy Krueger introduce the Predator to prime-time television? Will Leatherface use his mallet to add Alien tartare to the menu? Will the ageless wizard Shang Tsung steal Norman Bates' soul, or will Mother save his day? Pamela Vorhees has forever had to take second-fiddle to her famous son Jason. Will she be able to claim the title of best killer in the family or will Jason teach her the proper use for a sleeping bag? Will Negan and Lucille when the double team match against Elvira and her basketball?
The bad guys weren't the only killers to compete. Some of the heroes have been proven to be just as brutal. Heroes like John Wick and John McClane are proficient with guns but how many killers are as deadly with an icicle or a pencil? Will Indiana Jones teach Connan to never bring his giant sword to a gun fight? Will Kung Lao teach Connor Macleod not to bring a sword to a hat fight? Can the quick reflexes of a cyborg overcome the face ripping vengeance of Furiosa?
As the darkness grows closer and streets get quiet, don't worry. There is no need to be afraid. The ghosts and goblins are only stirring because they want to party too! Just cause your dead is no excuse to not celebrate Eric's Birthday.
I reeeeeeeally wanted to name the show Hollow Cock but that seemed kinda rude.

RPGrinders EP 759 - Taste the Biscuit
Monday Sep 25, 2023
Monday Sep 25, 2023
The long hot Summer is over. No more bathing suits, BBQs, sunburns, and mosquitos. Making way for the tastiest of all seasons, Pumpkin Spice Season. Unlike these seasons, the Grinders don't take off the rest of the year! We will be here for Pumpkin Spice Season, Spooky Season, Football Season, Baseball Season, Basketball Season, Air-Conditioning Season, Spring, and the worst season of them all, Frostbite Season. It's ALWAYS Grinder Season!
Unlike Pumpkin Spice, we all will be able to enjoy these releases long into the Freezing Your Ass Off Season. A new entry in the Like a Dragon series, Infinite Wealth, the Apollo Justice Ace Attorney trilogy, Rushing Beat X, and The Legends of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4 all come out early next year. For the people not willing to wait till next year, Blossom Tails 2 and Triggerheart Exelica will both release before the end of the Empty Wallet Season.
Every Friday is Grinder Season. The season wouldn't be as magical if we didn't address our Stinkoes and celebrate our Sweetoes. It just wouldn't be a normal season unless Break was angry about the Ohio Republican Party. It would be a first if the police managed to not piss off Frank and to not be a Stinko. We all know they are and we know they will make a "guest" appearance next Grinder Season. It isn't not all bad news for the Police as they finally get to celebrate a Sweeto... sorta.
This Grinder Season wouldn't be complete without the final results of the of latest and greatest tournament known to humankind! This Season the Grinders finally decide who will be the Greatest Mascot of All Time. Sixty-four of the great ones entered. Now eight remain. Only one can be champion. Will Ronald McDonald and his Happy Meal Gang be able to fend off the one Chef wrecking crew known as Boyardee? Will the Scrubbin Bubbles clean up the mess the Kool-Aid man left? Will the too cool for school Spuds McKenzie enjoy a free trip to Geoffrey's castle or will the Giraffe send Spuds home crying to his house full of Dallas Cheerleaders? Will two attractive twins be able to win against a Man who is so Interesting that even his beard has its own fan club?
Another Grinder Season has come and gone. Don't worry because Grinder Season will be back next Friday LIVE and hopefully not as buggy! Grinder Season will be here through all of the other less awesome seasons!
Public service announcements:
Don't be on that bitter old man shit.
Don't forget to have your Break Man spayed or neutered.

RPGrinders EP 756 - Hamburger Handy
Monday Sep 04, 2023
Monday Sep 04, 2023
Labor Day has arrived, which means the unofficial end of summer. For gamers the beginning of fall means only one thing, some of the 2023's biggest releases are almost upon us! Even more important than that news is the start of a brand-new Halloween influenced tournament!
We promised release dates, and we have several going all the way to November. For those who are not willing to wait, Gunbrella is releasing this month. For those who looking for something to do on a cold wet day in October, can look forward to Long Gone Days and the remake of Front Mission 2. And for the those who like to get their holiday shopping done early, November sees several releases, including the holiday themed Ebenezer and the Invisible World.
On very rare occasions do the Grinders get to all review a movie together. Although they have their own reviews, the Grinders all saw The Flash. Is it the worst superhero movie of the year, the decade, or all existence? Or maybe it was fantastic? Besides the Flash, Frank also reviewed some horror movies and Eric reviewed the classic Jurassic Park 3-D.
It isn't all fun and games for the Grinders as they have a long list of Stinkos. DC fans are still mourning the loss of beloved Kevin Conroy, only to be hit with the devastating news that the massively talented Arleen Sorkin has died. It was also sad news for gameshow fans as the legendary Bob Barker has also died. Adding to the tragedy, the Grinders also address a couple of mental health related shootings.
To counteract the sadness of the Stinkos, the Grinders have several Sweetos to bring up the mood! They are all good, but they pale in comparison to Frank's ultimate Sweeto, his brand-new car!
Even better news than getting a new car is a brand-new tournament! With Halloween right around the corner, the Grinders made a list of a popular costume choice: the product mascot! 64 of the best consumer mascots are about to square off to determine who is rightfully the greatest mascot of them all!
With a new tournament comes vicious new rumors, like these: I heard it through the grapevine that the California Raisins hate chocolate in a thin candy shell. Mr. Peanut personally blames the Scrubbing Bubbles for his need to use a monocle. Smokey the Bear and Morris the Cat used to be great friends, until they both fell in love with Lamb Chop and began a vicious rivalry. Elves are constantly at war with other factions of elves, and none hate each other more that the tree dwelling Keeblers and the pantry living Snap, Crackle, and Pop. The Crash Test Dummies need a new airbag, and they have volunteered Twinkie the Kid. Spudz McKenzie has a new furry chew toy that just keeps going and going and going and going and.....
With unofficial fall here and real fall just a few weeks away, we will have less sunlight, colder weather, and more rain. Perfect weather to be a gamer!
I'm confused. Can anyone explain to me why Sony made a fat Batarang?
A Fatarang, so to speak.

RPGrinders EP 753 - RPBoobies
Saturday Aug 12, 2023
Saturday Aug 12, 2023
It's hot as fuck outside but the Grinders can take the heat! The RPgrinders are back with another episode of steaming goodness. This week they take on some of the hottest topics in the country, like library book bans, wildfires, political corruption and boobs. Lots and lots of boobs. What could be hotter than breasts? NOTHING!
With the fall season right around the corner, game releases are starting to heat up! Games like Untamed Tactics and Wrestling Quest will be out by the end of August. Just a couple weeks before Autumn will also the release of the next mobile Final Fantasy game, Ever Crisis. For anyone willing to wait longer, they can look forward to the PC release of Deathbound and the unknown system release of Corpse Party 2. Seriously, they didn't tell us anything about the hardware we need to play the game.
Eric strapped on his heat-resistant spy gear for this week's reviews. Not one Mission Impossible, not two Mission Impossible movies, because he reviews the first two Mission Impossible movies, and the most recent film Dead Reckoning Part 1! How do Ethan Hunt's early escapades compare to the most current Mission Impossible sequels? How do the first 2 hold up by today's standards?
Just when the temperature was beginning to cool down, the Grinders moved on to everyone's favorite segment The Stinko of the Week. Talks about wildfires and crooked Ohio politicians make Break's blood boil. Things really begin to heat up between chat and the hosts as there was a lot of disagreement over some of the country's hottest topics. The FBI killing of a disabled man making death threats and the banning of books in libraries. The chatters and hosts all see the situations from different angles. Who is wrong? Who is right? As long as we learn to get along is all that should matter.
Even the Stinkos couldn't prepare the Grinders for the next upcoming battle, the second round of the Greatest Cereal in the World tournament! The heat is really on now. Only 32 cereals are left but only 16 can go on to next week. Which cereal's flames of hope will be washed away like spoiled milk down the drain? Frosted Flakes are one of the country's most popular cereals, but does it taste better than Apple Jacks? Will a Lucky leprechaun give Lucky Charms what it needs to go marshmallow to marshmallow against Count Chocula? Which cereal requires the most sugar just to be edible, is it Total, Rice Crispies, or Corn Chex? Which artificially flavored fruit cereal will survive, the Flinstone's favorite or the brand that hates silly rabbits? After losing Choclate Life will Break lose his Life and his Cinnamon Life? How many more lives does he have? He is running through them quicker than potato salad left in the sun will run through a human digestive system.
If you don't get to see the show live, you miss out on a lot of chat room shenanigans. Boobs, book bans, and boxes of cereal have lit the fires under chatters. Sometimes there is friction. Sometimes there are heated arguments. Sometimes they are given a warm reception. No matter what the topic, no subject is too hot for the Grinders!
My Childhood Friend is a Slutty School Teacher. Does she tutor adults?

RPGrinders EP 750 - AT & T and A
Saturday Jul 22, 2023
Saturday Jul 22, 2023
It's the middle of summer on this scorching mud ball, but even record high temperatures are nothing compared to the extreme heat of the RPGrinders! We are coming in HOT and there is no cooling down in this jam packed but shorter episode. Red hot reviews, flaring racial tensions, and a burning passion for Frank's new toy are just some of today's conversations.
The planet may be heating up and the future make look dim. At least you can look forward to some upcoming games, while you wait out the apocalypse with a window airconditioner. The cooler months of fall will bring us Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and Caligula Effect 2. While you wait for the sun to stop punishing the Earth, why not check out the new release Farsiders on PC?
As a complete shock and surprise to NO ONE, Xbox Live is about to die. Don't blame the heat for this death. We all knew it was coming. Microsoft cared as much about Xbox Live as the American government cares about climate change.
Stay inside. Turn out the lights. Turn up the airconditioner. Enjoy some good movies and television shows while protecting yourself from the extreme heat! Quicksand and Werewolves Within will keep you cool with a chill down your spine. If horror isn't your thing, try the stone-cold comedy series Schitt's Creek.
The planet may be suffering from extreme heat but nothing is hotter than the anger of the Stinkoes! Global warming is definitely a Stinko but it isn't the only one making the Grinders hot under the collar. People that willing upgrade their mufflers to the annoyance of everyone around, really tans our hides. Racist politicians erasing African American history and sugar-coating slavery. Make no mistake, there is NOTHING worse than slavery despite what Republicans want children to know. Florida isn't the only state with blatantly racist politicians. The Democrats have their own bigoted 3 letter Jr problem. I have heard a lot of crazy things from people like MTG but even she seems sane in comparison to RFK Jr.
With only two Free-4-Alls left before the return of the tournaments, the Grinders take on the hottest topic in America: Jason Aldean. The country crooner wrote a song with violent lyrics and a video with violent representation. Is the video problematic? Is Jason Aldean a racist? Is this an issue that has been blown out of proportion? Violent images and lyrics are nothing new. So the question becomes, did he go to far? Will the Grinders condemn Jason Aldean? Will they support him? Will they even care?
Did we mention, Frank got a blazing new toy!? What is it, you ask? We aren't telling you here! You will have to listen to find out! Frank's new hotness! Do people still say "hotness"? I freaking hope not.
Nope. I'm not spilling my guts this week! Just go back to the Pride Never Stops episode. I'm not pouring out more of my soul until I get a movie deal!
