RPGrinders EP 779 - Naughty Frank
Saturday Feb 17, 2024
Saturday Feb 17, 2024
If the winter doldrums aren't getting you down, you are a stronger person than I. However, if the winter doldrums are getting you down, don't worry because the RPGrinders are back to warm you up! What better way is there to heat up your body than with the latest gaming news, movie reviews, Stinkos, Sweetos, and the Driver's Seat?! Don't answer that...
Is there a better way to spend a cold day than in front of the TV playing a brand spanking new game? Don't answer that either! Besides, many of the news articles are for games releasing in warmer months. How will the May 21st release of Neptunia: Sisters vs Sisters or the May 23rd release of Morbid the Lords of Ire help keep you warm now? Maybe the March 7th release of Blade Prince Academy might help, if your marches are cold. If it's still cold in early April, maybe the gothic horror RPG Withering Rooms can warm you up if it doesn't send a chill down your spine.
On these cold days, the warm glow of the TV sometimes just isn't enough. Sometimes you need to turn on your phone as well and use both screens like a tanning bed. Use the TV for games and watch some of these reviews on your phone. An even better idea would be to play Mortal Kombat on the TV while watching all 4 Mortal Kombat animated movies! After all, is there a better way to get Toasty?
If gaming and movies won't warm up the body, maybe the Stinkos will make your blood boil. Nothing seems to make Frank's blood boil worse than the police. With officers who are trigger happy and officers who ignore threats to the lives of children we should all be boiling over. The police aren't the only Stinko regulars, as the Ohio Republican party makes sure they stay on Break's list. Republicans aren't the only clowns in government. The fact that Frank is STILL waiting for his refund, is proof of that.
If boiling blood isn't warming the body, maybe it's time to warm the heart. Is there anything more heart-warming than a Sweeto? You can answer that if you want. The Grinders might have other ideas of what should be considered heart-warming. For instance, Frank heart warmed with joy as he watched the tears of a failed wannabe dictator. It's long past time the failure is held accountable for his actions. No wannabe can ever over-shadow love, especially the love of a pop princess for her Tight End warrior with a tight end. Their love single handedly won the Super Bowl!
If everything fails and you are still cold, it is time for a road trip! Hop into the Eric's Driver's Seat Segment and stay there until don't feel cold anymore. This segment is the chance to get to know the hosts a little better. Is there a better way to know about someone than to watch them work? Even if the job is the worst piece of shit job ever? Good jobs lack drama. How are we going to stay warm without the insanity of drama? Who wants to work in a happy environment, with people they like, copiers that work, and customers who don't complain??
If you are still cold after this episode, then it is hopeless. There is no other way to warm up. Either wait for Spring or give up and go running naked through the snow. As for me, the Grinders will be off next week so I will be hibernating until March.
I almost called this episode Anal Questor.
I'm not sure if I made the right decision.

RPGrinders EP 778 - The Drivers Seat
Friday Feb 09, 2024
Friday Feb 09, 2024
We had a short news cycle this week which left more room for stinkos like Colorado's lack of action on tax refunds, Break rips the WWE and more specifically Vince McMahon, Ohio Republican politicians still suck ass, Eric's segment is in its second week and lets just say "The Drivers" seat was super interesting this week! Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST : http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders Thanks for listening!

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 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.

RPGrinders EP 769 - Pizza Shit
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Monday Dec 04, 2023
HO HO Holy shit...I'm making the same joke I made last year! That's right! I lack creativity. So deal with it and get ready to deal with another episode of gaming news, movie reviews, a brand-new holiday themed tournament, the Stinkos, the Sweetos, and the everything Betweenos.
The year may be winding down, but the news just won't quit. New games like Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs and a remaster of Beyond Good & Evil are still being announced. The year isn't even done with game releases, as FF7 Ever Crisis and Cookie Cutter are releasing this month. It's not too soon to start planning for next year with games like Cupid Parasite: Sweet & Spicy Darling and Unfortold: Witchstone scheduled for 2024 releases.
The holidays may be the season of cheer and goodwill, but it is also the season of long cold nights. After a long day of working and a long night of holiday shopping, it might be nice to go home and relax. Sit down in your favorite chair, light up the fireplace, pour yourself an ice-cold eggnog, and roll that holiday kush for an evening of Hollywood entertainment. Disney's best TV show returns for a second season of time skipping with the mischievous god, Loki. Max adds a new superhero to the live action roster, the Blue Beetle. For those who prefer to see their movies in a theater, the Marvels and Godzilla Minus One might not be couch ready but they are definitely worth the time.
The holidays maybe a time of joyful celebration but it wouldn't be RPGrinders without the Stinkos! Crooked politicians always make the Stinko list, even when they die. Some members of our government continue to ramp up their war on minority groups. They continue to push their religious views and disproven conspiracies about the LGBTQ+ community. These joy hating scrooges want to force gay orphans to live under religious oppression. Bah humbug to the scrooges. Bah humbug * 1000 to the genocidal maniacs and their bloodlust.
The Stinkos may be naughty but the Sweetos are here to bring back the nice for this holiday season. What would the holidays be like without family? Less stressful. Family can be great but it can be just as great to get away from bad family members. As Frank celebrate his victory on the home front, another Grinder makes a tiny step in finding his Pride. Break got some new gay earrings. They are only gay because he is wearing them.
The holiday season just wouldn't be the same without a new tournament! That's right! What better way to celebrate the holidays than a tournament death match?! The 32 best holiday movies! Christmas, New Years Eve, Hanukkah, and even Groundhogs Day go head-to-head but there can only be one day of Christmas! Can Will Farrell's Buddy the Elf save Christmas and slay the tournament competition? (Victory tastes good but not as good as syrup on spaghetti.) Will Bill Murray's character reform his life while dodging Bobcat's shotgun and physically abusive ghosts? (He could really use a proton pack.) Does Adam Sandler's character find redemption after 8 Crazy Nights and give the only Hanukkah movie the power to fight the "War on Christmas"? ("The War on Christmas" lol some people are very stupid.) Is Die Hard the best holiday movie? (John McClain kills terrorists and blows shit up while dropping funny quips. What could be more Christmas than that?) Does Batman's holiday Return strike fear into the hearts of the competition? (It should. Three words: Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman.) Can Bill Murray and the rest of the Ghostbuster's save the new year from a genocidal ghost and 31 other holiday movies? (SEE! Told you he could have used a proton pack.) Will Krampus be able to overcome all of the Holiday cheer? (Note to self: In the middle of a blizzard. Don't let your teenage daughter walk to her boyfriend's house.) Is representing two holidays cheating? (Trading Places says no.) Is Jim Carrey's green meanie going to steal Christmas from the happy little Woos and victory from the rest of the tournament competitors? (Jim Carrey was MEANT to play characters with green faces.)
The holidays are just beginning. Time is running out. So if you kiddies haven't tricked your parents into thinking you were a good kid all year long, you still have some time! Just like all good kids, be sure to download RPGrinders and listen every week! All good parents make sure their children never miss an episode.
Important Announcement. Repeat after me: Die Hard IS a Christmas movie. Gremlins IS a Christmas movie. Lethan Weapon IS a Christmas movie. Groundhog's Day is NOT a Christmas movie.
You better not cry. You better not shout. The RPGrinders know if you have been Stinko or Sweeto.
