RPGrinders EP 650- Poop, I Gotta Poop!

This shortened ep of RPGrinders sees Break Man sabotaged by Skype, the news is scant, Frank pulls a trifecta in Reviews, and all of this adds up to one of the shortest RPGrinders in recorded history!  What sabotaged the show? You know you want to know.... and there's only one thing you can do to remedy that!  Thanks for listening!  Follow the show on Twitter @RPGrinders and send us questions!  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders chat is a ton of fun!

RPGinders EP 648 - Shut Up, Asshole!

The RPGrinders are back and ready to fight! On the episode Frank battles the heat, Break fights Skype, and Eric is ready to beat up Break.

To get it all started, the Grinders bring the latest in JRPG news. This time the news cycle is heavily dominated by Square Enix (Squenix). Two new Mana games are coming to mobile and Legend of Mana is getting a worldwide anime release. Squenix also showed new images and revealed the prices of the first 3 Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters. The Grinders aren't happy with the pricing but what do you think?

Dear Break Man makes a return and with multiple questions! So much advice, in so little time. This time we have some advice for dealing with squirrels and we find out more about Frank's past.

It wouldn't be RPGrinders without Stinkos. Break is pretty upset about the prison release of the rapist once known as "America's Dad"but no one is as hot under the collar as Frank because his AC has broken.

It might not cool off Frank but the Grinders have some nice Sweetos to put a chill on the Stinkos. Break reads excerpts from a riverfronttimes.com article written by Daniel Hill and Frank celebrates the loot received for Frank Day.

With one week left before the Tournament of Greatness returns, the Grinders finish up the Free For All with a discussion about Itch.io. Apple's war with Epic has resulted in Itch.io in the crosshairs. As a result, the LGBTQ games are being lumped in with the "unspeakable" games. Once again, the LGBTQ community is being punished for no other reason than existing.

RPGrinders EP 647- Frank's Berfday Bash Extravaganza!

In this episode, Break conspires to miss the news, Frank reviews Batman Long Halloween Part 1 and Nobody, Break once again highlight's even more mass shootings (one a day on average now), Eric takes us a video gaming journey (he ALWAYS plays the most games!), Frank turns 21 (again for the umpteenth time), and finally Derek Chauvin gets 22.5 years for murdering George Floyd.  Was that enough?  Find out in this jam packed episode!  Follow us on Twitter @RPGrinders and send us questions!  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders the chat is a ton of fun!

RPGinders EP 645 - Space Racists

BreakMan is back in the saddle again and as as average as ever! He might have skipped on the responsibilities for last week but he's here now to pick up the slack. 

Break came back just in time for a huge news section. With all the news stories, you would think it was time for E3 2021. This year is going to busy with summer releases like Garden Story for the switch and Tribes of Midgard for the Playstation 4 & 5. Not to be left out, 2022 will see the release of the highly anticipated Elden Ring. If you like your release window more vague, Axion Verge 2 is coming to Playstation while Kingdom Come Deliverance is heading to the Switch. 

As usual, only Frank and Eric have something to review. Frank recommends Abzu and it's unique atmosphere. Eric reviews the continuing exploits of Ben Tennison in the Ben 10 Alien Force and Ben 10 Ultimate Alien cartoons.

Since Break is back, there are plenty of reasons to complain. The news of 60 million doses of the Covid vaccine being destroyed is even worse than it sounds. Yet more damning evidence is released about Hunter Biden. Worst of all is now normalized shooting has became in America. It's so common a listener gives his own story about recent gun violence. (To clarify, he was not involved.) 

With so much bad news Frank comes up with a new segment to put a smile on everyone's face. Introducing Funny or Stupid! Tik Tok videos aren't funny until they have the RPGrinders stamp of approval. Our stamp is better than the Nintendo Seal of Quality.

Before wrapping the show, Eric has a major bone to pick with Netflix and the gentrification of anime. Has Netflix gone to far this time?

RPGrinders EP 641- Trolley Tunnel

This episode Frank gets ripped off, Eric reviews Castlevania Season 4, and Break slams the Missouri governor for not doing what the people wanted and voted for.  Also round 2 of our tournament to decide once and for all what the greatest video game of all time is!! Maybe the gods will give us more energy for next weeks show?  Find out LIVE Friday 7est http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders!!!

RPGinders EP 639 - MXT's Prison of Love

The RPGrinders are back with another episode of video games news, movie reviews, terrible Stinkos, refreshing Sweetos, and the finale of our April tournament. This episode promises a lot of laughs but, be warned, there are some tears. 

The news is short and sweet. Summer release dates for Ys IX, the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, Empire of Angels 4, and Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis will keep you out of heat.

If you don't feel like gaming, maybe you are in the mood for movies. Frank and Break disagree on the Netflix exclusive Thunder Force. They might disagree on the rating but no one can disagree with the power of Jason Bateman's mullet! Also, Eric reviews the latest Mortal Kombat movie. Can it overcome the incredibly low bar set by Annihilation?

These Stinkos come with an emotional warning. Everyone, please let Frank know that we love him. He can use our support through the trying times. Besides the sad news the Grinders also rail against the usual evils of the world: police, politicians, violence, and murder. 

This episode isn't all sad though, as the Grinders celebrate the verdict in the Chauvin murder trial. The police aren't above the law. We just hope this leads to real change.

Today is the day we finally answer the question that has confounded experts for a millennium: Who is the Greatest Video Game Icon of All Time? We are down to the great eight but there can be only one! Can an electrical mouse shock the competition? Will Mario put his size 12 Kuribo shoe on the throat of his enemies? Will the "last man standing" be a swashbuckling woman? Ryu rules the arcade, can he rule the tournament? Can Break rig the competition to give Mega Man the win? Is Sonic's speed good enough to win? Will the legendary Belmont clan stand triumphant? Or is Link the true legend?

 

 

Better in blue: Sonic or Mega Man?

 

RPGrinders EP 636 - The Mario Massacre of 2021

April is finally here. Spring has finally arrived and the RPGrinders are back for another crazy episode. This time the Grinders start a new tournament, review giant lizard movies, Catboys in paradise, not one but two Dear Break Man questions, and technical difficulties!

The technical difficulties start right away but they wont slow down the news! They wont slow the release of Elder Scrolls Online for the current generation. The difficulties wont stop the Oddworld Collection from releasing on May 27th. Even though it was once an April Fools Joke, Nekopara: Catboys Paradise wont be delayed when it releases later this year.

Dear BreakMan answers two questions from our friend @freak5chaos including one that needs immediate attention. If you need the best advice known to humanity, just send your question to @RPGrinders.

Eric gives a quick non-spoiler review of Godzilla vs Kong. Does the hairy ape have a chance against mean green or will he be forced to bow before the true king of all monsters? 

The start of a new month brings a new tournament. This time the Grinders will determine the Greatest Gaming Icon of All Time! Will it be one of the Mario brothers? Will Scorpion be able to finish the competition? Maybe a villain like Dr.Wily or Bowser might can finally win? Or maybe a woman like Peach or Samus will be triumphant?

 

Break Man? More like WRONG_MAN!

 

RPGrinders EP 635 - Beta Maxxed

This episode we determine the greatest Genesis game of all time!  Also, Frank reviews Mom and Dad, Spontaneous, and Maquette.  Todays stinkos include games causing epileptic seizures, an idiot in Boulder Colorado kills 10 people, and voting rights being destroyed in Georgia.  In chat MXT wants Frank to open up a Blockbuster chain to rent VHS tapes, Dungeonbuster is a ninja, Freak talks buttholes, and Weiland wows us with his steelbook collection!  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders or search RPGrinders on Youtube!  Follow us on Twitter @RPGrinders and ask us anything!  Thanks for listening

RPGrinders EP 633 - Boner Tomahawk

This episode of RPGrinders features a release heavy news segment, food sex, time changes, broken political promises, the Sega Genesis tournament, Bone Tomahawk, and Geraldo Rivera! 

The news is packed with actual release dates! Some games are even out now, like the Bethesda catalog joining Xbox Game Pass. Games like Vaporum:Lockdown and Trails of Cold Steel IV will be releasing within the next couple of months. While the third DLC pack for DBZ:Kakarot and Alchemic Cutie drop this summer. 

Dear Break Man brings words of wisdom to this episode. Today Break saves the world by answering a question about mixing food and sex. 

Frank gives his review of Bone Tomahawk. What does Frank think of the horror/western starring the living legend Kurt Russell?

The Stinkos take an interesting turn as one of Break's gets a LIVE update and becomes a Sweeto! Unfortunately, the national time shift and the broken promise of a $2000 stimulus check do not make the same change.

The battle to determine the greatest Sega Genesis game intensifies! Break and Frank may have finally pushed Eric to his limits, as he is disgusted by their choices! Is Eric right? Have Frank and Break gone to far?

What is the Greatest Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Game of All Time? Is Sonic the Hedgehog fast enough to defeat the legacy of the Belmont family? Can Polterguy scare up a win against Phantasy Star IV? Will Boogerman be able to flush his swashbuckling competition? 

 

 

Don't fuck pumpkins. They will turn your penis orange.

 

RPGrinders EP 632- Pee Your Own Adventure

In this adventure of an episode the Grinders get edgy and sexist (not really)! Eric reviews Nioh 2, Frank reviews Detroit Become Human, Break chastises Texas and Mississippi for removing mask restrictions in the middle of the pandemic, and Senators voting against a 15 minimum wage get the RPGrinders treatment (spoiler: they suck).  Did Harmy survive or did MXT's master plan of kidnapping survive?  Who survived the first round of the Greatest Genesis game of all time?Find out on this stellar edition of RPGrinders!  Follow us on Twitter @RPGrinders and join us LIVE in chat http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders!
