RPGrinders EP 777 - Running With No Pants
Saturday Feb 03, 2024
Saturday Feb 03, 2024
It's early February and the end of winter is almost here, according to a rodent weather reporter. Who in the hell decided the groundhog was a great weather predictor? How did the stupid tradition even start? Why am I even asking questions that have nothing to do with RPGrinders or this episode? Cause we are the RPGrinders and we talk about whatever the fuck we want!
The stupid animal thinks its time to go outside and play. Why would we want to go outside when Dragon Quest Builders is finally coming to PC? How will we be able to play the soon released detective rpg, Pixel Noir? I guess we could play these games on a laptop but then we have to deal with glare, bugs, battery life, wind, and the weather. It will be much nicer to play those games from the comfort of our gamer chairs. Why leave those chairs just because the weather gets warmer? Instead, we could stay inside playing Stellar Blade and Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition when they release this spring.
Regardless of the weather predicting rodent's premonitions, we could choose to stay inside and watch a good movie. Maybe a new horror flick. Something that looks different. No matter what we choose it will be better than the crap Frank was forced to endure. A movie so vile its name must not be printed!
The rodent may have predicted a short winter but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of Stinkos. Things like asshole car dealers, tax delays, bigotry, developer layoffs, and a pain in the eye! We also mourn the loss of the bad ass Carl Weathers and there might even be a weather related Stinko.
This month marks new beginnings. Just like the groundhog decides when spring begins, the RPGrinders decide when a new segment begins! This is the first week of Eric's brand-spanking-new segment, The Driver's Seat. This is a chance for all listeners to learn more about Frank, Eric and Break. This week Eric starts with the question: "Why do you care about what people believe in?" Over the next couple of weeks, the Grinders will answer two more questions that will explore their opinions and personalities.
Unlike the rodent who is only used once a year, the Grinders will be back next week! A new theme and new segment but don't worry because we are the same ol' Grinders!
I would just like to take this time to promote my top candidate for the next president of the United States of America....
Fuck Trump
Fuck Biden
Fuck Haley
*drum roll*
TAYLOR SWIFT FOR PRESIDENT 2024!

RPGrinders EP 776 - Sisterly Rivalry?
Thursday Feb 01, 2024
Thursday Feb 01, 2024
In this episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through some short news, made long by Frank's long-windedness, as per usual. The biggest highlights are the date drop for Neptunia: Sisters vs Sisters, and a parody game of Simon's Quest. Afterward, Frank has reviews for The Passenger and Destroy All Neighbors. Stinkos are the same as usual with Break and Eric, and Frank has some game and headphone trouble. At least the Sweetos are sure to perk everyone up. And finally, for the new Free for All segment, Eric has their scenario for the Panic Zone. Be sure to tune in next time for Eric's new segment, The Driver's Seat, live on Fridays at 7 PM EST on Twitch/Youtube!

RPGrinders Review #70 - Momodora: Moonlit Farewell
Friday Jan 19, 2024
Friday Jan 19, 2024
I review the conclusion of this 14-year-old indie series for PC!
P. S. - I forgot to mention the game is currently PC only. If it's like the previous two entries though, it'll get ported sooner rather than later though, so if you aren't a PC gamer, put this game on your radar!

RPGrinders EP 775 - Who Turned Off the Lights?
Friday Jan 19, 2024
Friday Jan 19, 2024
In this episode of RPGrinders, the news is mostly done by Break and Frank, as Eric has to deal with power outages. Nonetheless, the crew gets through a bit of news. Highlights include old games from yesteryear like Felix the Cat and Rocket Knight getting re-releases, and an old DS game getting a remaster and localization in Wizman's World. Frank also has reviews for Society of the Snow and Don't Fuck With Cats. The Stinkos are lively, as the crew has a plethora of grievances. Eric and Break continue having a bone to pick with the Ohio GOP and the Governor. Game Studios and SAG-AFTRA also can't escape Eric's ire. Frank also bemoans their financial situation and the parasitic insurance companies that only make it worse. Sweetos are few, but the new Free for All topics prove interesting once again with the Panic Zone. What crazy new scenario will the crew have to navigate next? Find out live on Fridays on Twitch/Youtube at 7 PM EST!

RPGrinders EP 773 - Final RPGrinders MMXXIII
Thursday Jan 04, 2024
Thursday Jan 04, 2024
This is the final episode of RPGrinders. You will no longer have to listen to Break complain. You will never again be seduced by the sultry voice of Frank. Eric's words of wisdom will never again fill your ears. Good night everyone. Thank you for playing.
WAIT WAIT WAIT...
Wait....OH My bad. It's just the last episode of 2023! Frank will be back on Friday night to enliven your life. Eric will once again teach you how to be a decent human being. And what about the BreakMan? He has ALREADY started whining! 2024 may be a new year but it's the same old Grinders!
With a large portion of the country off work for the holidays, there isn't a lot of news. That's the way Break likes it or he would of if he had bothered to show up on time. Lazy Man will have to listen to this episode to find out about the DLC coming to Front Mission 1st Remake or when Dragon Quest Tactics will be shutting down?
Probably Taking A Nap Man did arrive on time for the reviews. He even gives his final review of the year. Is the vampire comedy series worth the time or did it just put PTAN Man to sleep? If lazy vampires won't wake him up maybe Robert Kirkman's BEST television show will. Which show, you may ask? You will just have to listen.
It wouldn't be a Grinders episode without the Stinkos. Always Bitching About Something Man has a long list of complaints, AS USUAL. Politics, SWATTING, and genocide are just a few of the horrible pieces of news to end the year. Whiney Man isn't the only one with Stinkos as Frank deals with the more person issue of being sick (yuck)! Not to be left out, Eric has a personal beef with the Republicans in the Ohio capital as they wage a war against the trans community.
The Sweetos take an interesting turn as Bi Man slightly disagrees with Eric on the veto of the bill attacking the trans community. The disagreement is only slight as both agree the bill is evil. Both stand firm in their beliefs of protecting the trans community from oppression and discrimination.
As the final episode of the year, it's the Grinder tradition to reminisce about their favorite games of the year and movies. For the first time they also look back at the worst games and movies of the year. They were so bad that the people MUST be warned again. *Bitter Man glares angrily at The Flash*
2024 promises to be an exciting year for the Grinders. They have some exciting ideas they can't wait to share! Suck it 2023! Frank has new big plans for 2024, Eric has some brand new ideas, and Slacker Man just wants to say the word "new". So please join us in the new year, for new segments, new tournaments, new reviews, new news, and so much more new!
Playable Masturbation.
