RPGrinders EP 670 - The Busta that Saved Christmas

In this episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through a short news segment due to the year closing. But the reviews are packed this week, as Eric reviews Masters of the Universe and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Yes, there are two shows with similar names, but couldn't be more different. Frank reviews They Live's 4K Blu-ray release. The 80's never left. Afterward we have the usual stinkos, and some sweetos to take the edge off the former. Then afterward round two of the Best Funniest Christmas Song of All Time goes underway. Will Secret Santa be the dark horse? Only you can find out by live, and preferably live on Twitch and Youtube, Fridays at 7PM EST!

RPGinders EP 669 - Shitters Full. Merry Christmas!

It took six hundred sixty-nine episodes but Break has finally realized his dreams of grandeur! He has ascended the throne and gained the power of Exile. With his new power, there must come responsibility. As such, Break was able to make it through an episode ending in 69, without making another lame sex joke or singing a lyric from a song by Joe. 

Even though he isn't able to host. Frank is still ever present. Maybe it's just his excuse to not do the news? Maybe he didn't feel like talking about the upcoming Kingdoms of Amalur DLC? I guess he didn't want to talk about the release of the new action RPG Grim Dawn. 

The Stinkos take an unusual turn, as Break is the only one with complaints. As usual, his complaints tend to be towards the government and gun violence. Frank's Sweeto put him in such a good mood, he was left with no complaints. When a wrongfully accused friend is exonerated, how can you not be excited?

With a new month comes a new tournament. This time the Grinders attempt to decide the All-Time Funniest Christmas Song! Since the rest of the show was shorter than usual, Frank has enough time to give us some musical samples. Songs about a snowman with a small penis, Santa Claus going on violent killing sprees, dogs flying planes, singing poop, cars that aren't street legal, rodents that sing, and many more Holiday songs of cheer!

 

Happy Holidays, Boils and Ghouls!

 

 

 

PS, I totally stole the title from a chatter.

RPGrinders EP 668-Black Friday Idiots

RPGrinders EP 664 - The Peanut Butter Cup Monster

In this spooky themed episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through a brisk news cycle, which is unfortunately beset with more delay announments. Afterwards, Eric has reviews for Another and School-Live. Frank reviews Creepshow. After some Stinkos and Sweetos, we finally finish the tourney for the greatest candy of all time. You'll be surprised which candy is the winner! Also, online trolls are the worst. Be sure to check out other episodes live on Twitch and Youtube on Fridays at 7PM EST!  

RPGrinders EP 663 - Butter Fondue

When the temperature starts to fall, the screams fill the air, and the blood runs cold we are left with a choice. Do you run, hide, fight, or put on your headphones and listen to a brand new episode of RPGrinders!?

With only two episodes left before Halloween, the most important question of our generation moves another round closer to an answer! What is the best Halloween candy? Only the RPGrinders can answer that question!  

Will M & M's melt to the competition or in your mouth? Can a fruit flavored candy survive against the all mighty Hershey bar? Do you prefer peanut butter cups or do you like your peanuts in Mr.Goodbar? Is the novelty puff of fake candy cigarette smoke a better thing to find in your bag than a Tootsie Roll? Does everything thing I see look like a Tootsie Roll to me?

Halloween candy isn't the only thing on the menu. We can't enjoy the candy dessert until we have a fresh meal of news, reviews, stinkos, and sweetos. 

The news is short this week but full of delays. The current gen versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and the Witcher 3 won't be getting meaningful updates until 2022. Even the Switch is seeing delays, as the Advance Wars remake has been pushed back to the vague window called "Spring". Even the highly anticipated Elden Ring is being pushed back to Feb 2022.

If you are looking for some good anime, listen to Eric's reviews of Future Diary and Erased. Check out his reviews and let us know if you agree.

It wouldn't be an episode of RPGrinders if we didn't have some stinkos. As usual, the American government continues to be a source of Break's frustrations. Eric and Frank mourn the loss of two people within the entertainment industry.  

As bad as things may get, we at least have sweetos to remind us that it isn't all bad. Unless you are the Lt Gov of Texas and you are forced to pay rewards to the people that have proven you wrong. Dan Patrick fucked around and found out. 

Next week we will determine the Greatest Halloween Candy of All Time! We might even have some surprises instore.

 

 

No Candy Corn was harmed in the making of this podcast.

RPGrinders EP 663 - Candies, Higher than High!

This episode the Grinders have a short news cycle followed by a review of Halloween Kills by Frank and Eric, Break covers the rise in child gun violence in his neck of the woods, and finally the Grinders hysterically get a step closer to decide the greatest Halloween candy of all time!!  Join us every Friday 7EST on Twitch: http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders thanks for listening!

RPGrinders EP 661 - Negative Zero

Bernie had a moment. But in this episode of RPGrinders, Break and Frank have to go without Eric, since they were under the weather. The news is brisque, but the topics of Sweetos and Stinkos are substantive. Afterwards, the Greatest Halloween Candy of All Time tourney begins! Which candy will eventually come out on top? Find out in the archive and live, Fridays at 7 PM EST on Twitch/Youtube!

RPGinders EP 660 - COVID-19 Vaxxed My AntiVax

It's October again and we all know what that means, Halloween candy! It also means the temperature is getting cooler. Horror movies will dominate the streaming services. Pumpkin spice will be added to every food and the RPGrinders start a brand new tournament, or do they?!

For gamers, Autumn has another meaning. This is the time of the year when a lot of companies start releasing their biggest titles. Among those big releases: Square Enix (Does anybody else still call them Squenix? Or just me?) is releasing the generically titled Dungeon Encounters on the 14th. The fishing RPG Moonglow will be out on the 26th, after a short delay. The PC is getting a new Monster Hunter on the 12th of November. And on December 15th, Sega is releasing Sin Chronicle. 

The normal reviews are high jacked by a dirty old Break Man. Apparently, Perv Man has been spending a lot of time using his Nintendo Switch to look at naked video game characters. The perv reviews not 1, not 2, not even 3 games. He reviews 4 games that feature topless women. Are any of them fun games or do they exist just to show nipples?

The Stinkos are dominated by COVID-19. The virus continues to ravage the planet. Once again, the virus hits too close to home for one of the hosts.  

The COVID-19 conversation is important. So instead of starting a new tournament the RPGrinders tackle the topic of vaccinations. Will we reach a herd immunity? When will the pandemic end? Should everyone get vaxxed? We ask these and many more important questions. We aren't experts so we are just trying to figure this out the best we can. 

Please let us know what you think. Just send a tweet to @RPGrinders

 

 

I got vaxxed and now my personality isn't the only thing that is magnetic!
