RPGrinders EP 818 - Less Work Makes the Dream Work or Something Like That

It's the last episode of March but the first episode of Spring. So go find something to do outside next Friday evening. Join your local protest and help save our country before it's too late. Don't forget to take the necessary protesting gear. Water, signage, camera, and some ear buds so you can listen to RPGrinders while fighting fascism.  

This week's episode had to start and end early for personal reasons. To save time there was no news segment. Coincidentally, the Break was actually early to the show. We are all sure those two things are not related. 

Even though it's a shorter show, the Grinders try not to cut out anymore segments. To keep it short, each Grinder has one quick movie review but only one of the movies was good.  Who was the lucky viewer? Did Break make the right decision my watching a movie that flopped at the box office, Morbius? Or maybe Eric was the lucky one when he watched the first Looney Toons movie that hasn't gotten the shaft from the WB in a long time, The Day the Earth Blew Up? Or perhaps Frank got to enjoy a new horror classic, Little Bites? 

A short show will always have one guarantee, there will always be Stinko's. It's everybody's favorite segment so it would be rude not to include. Unfortunately, the Stinkos are growing ever dim by the weak. The American government has fully embraced fascism and innocent people are suffering. Due process and court orders are being ignored. Innocent people are being hunted by a government funded terrorist organization. A country built on immigration is treating its immigrants worse than it treats White Supremacists & clients of Epstein.  

Even though this episode is short, the Grinders closed out the show with not one but two Driver's Seats. Or was that two Panic Zones?? Who knows, but at least both Frank and Eric came prepared... well, Eric came prepared. What does Eric have in store for everyone? I'll give only one hint, Dark Souls.

The Grinders will be back the first week of April. Until then, spend your valuable time doing something truly useful. Like reading my self-felating podcast descriptions or even listening to the show itself! Oh and maybe do some protesting or something, but mostly just read my words and tell me I am awesome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I am kidding!

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously, yes. It was a joke.

 

 

 

 

Still don't believe me?

 

 

 

Fine. How many times do I have to write "I am not a narcissist." on the chalk board before you believe me?  

RPGrinders EP 816 - The Calamity aka The No Eric Show

This week we are sans Eric but Bernie B. steps in like a champ!  A short news cycle leads to great discussions about politics, egg shortages, and finally just lamenting Eric not being here.  Shout out to Bernie B. for stepping up!  We are live first 3 Fridays of every month 7EST.  thanks for listening!

RPGrinders EP 185 - Totally Tentacle Porn

It's the last day of February and the end the month normally means that the Grinders would be enjoying an undeserved day of rest. Instead, they are back with an extra special episode of Game Night! That's right. No News. No Reviews. Just Game Night and some Stinkos, cause we all love the Stinkos!

Episode 2 of the sci-fi D & D ripoff continues! Eric the host leads Eric the character on a grand space adventure. Frank is along for the ride as he narrates and takes over the role of Elizabeth. Not to be left out, the Grinder's favorite chatters control the android we forgot to name. 

In a galaxy not very far away, the heroes fight to save survivors on a poorly named space station. To save the day they will have to contend with space pirates and slime creatures. Even worse, they have to contend with the bad voice acting (Not sure if he prefers his meh writing or bad voice acting) and devious machinations of the DM Break Man.

What evil plans does Break have in store for our heroes? Will Eric lead Eric to victory? Will Frank help Elizabeth save the galaxy? Or will the chatters blow it all up?

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the game, the Grinders have some big Stinkos to discuss. It has been a rough week for most of the world. Politics and Trump are dominating the news cycle.  His minions are doing ruining everything meant to help the American people. The Orange wannabe king is causing chaos across the globe. Even as people are dying in a war, Trump still finds a way to make it all about himself. How much more can America take? What will it take for Americans to start fighting for our democratic republic, before it is too late?

 

 

 

 

 

 

People keep telling me it's a clown show but clowns are funny. This sure as hell isn't.

 

 

 

 

 

Weird. It's sort of like two different posts. Maybe it should have two different titles?

Nah. I'm too lazy for that.

RPGrinders EP 814 - Old School Free For All!

This week we determine we don't have time to do our awesome game night so we decide to conclude the story next week!  A short news cycle makes for a brisk show as we have a free for all for the first time in a long while!  If you want to know what we talked about well you know what to do!  We are live the first 3 Fridays every month 7EST!  Thanks for listening!

RPGrinders Ep 812 - The Supreme Joke

What's Red, White, and Black & Blue? Don't answer that. Who's still butt hurt over the election? Don't judge me! Who's afraid we are watching the fall of our democratic republic? Don't know yet. Who's back to complain about the government, bad video games, and stupid people? Don't have to guess because the Grinders are back with the first episode of February.

With the cold weather and rise of fascism now is a perfect time to game. It might not seem like it, but we all need to take time and unwind. Mental health is important. It will be more important than ever with the struggles to come. A good distraction may be Code Reactors or maybe Cabernet which will both be releasing before the end of the month. The country might not be getting better, but the weather will be as we head into Spring. With Spring we will also see the releases of Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade and Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3. 

The first Stinko goes to Break Man who promises not to talk too much about politics. If this post is not evidence enough, he is STILL complaining about politics. To be fair, everyone should be concerned about the horrible things occurring within the American government. Those aren't the only Stinkos as America has also been dealing with tragic plane crashes. RIP to all those people who lost their lives in those tragic accidents, a popular voice actor, and the president of NIS. 

Did we mention that there was also a National Squirrel Appreciation Day. Do not be fooled by the squirrels. They can't be trusted. They are probably on our government's payroll.

The last Stinko goes to Break Man for using up all the show time complaining about President Musk, First Lady Donald Trump, and their little dog JD Vance. The NAZI wannabes ruined Game Night but it will be back! 

It hasn't even been a month, and the chaos has only begun. Now, more than ever it is time for the American people to stop fighting over petty disagreements before we lose this country and all of our freedoms. While we resist it's important to find time to relax our minds, and what better way is than to listen to a new episode of RPGrinders. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alternative episode titles:

         Don't Be a Kittie. 

         He Kittied it Up. 

          We Did NAZI That Coming... oh Wait. Yes, We Did.

          Let's Go For it. (Honestly, why did I even write this one down?)

 

RPGrinders Ep 811 - One Nintendo Switch to Rule Them All

How many Grinders does it take to post a show? Shut up! I blame our government. Its okay though because they can't hold us down forever! We might be late posting episode 811 but we hope it was worth the wait.

What happened on episode 811? Hell if I know. That was like weeks ago. Frank, Eric, and Break did a podcast. There was news, reviews, stinkos, and more. 

Seriously, you need more specifics? I told you I don't remember! Stuff happened. There was a beginning, a middle, and an end. The End! 

Ugh. Okay! We reviewed Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and Castlevania: Nocturne. Happy now?

No? Damn you! Ok fine. The Grinders also talk about their first console and Frank has some hot takes on guns. The Switch 2 was announced, and the American government has fully embraced the Dark Side. Tik Tok gets a reprieve while America falls to fascism. 

Now am I done? No? I don't care! Just download the episode and deal with it. I promise I'm not cranky. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously, I'm not.

 

 

 

 

 

Come to think of it... I have laundry to do. Now I'm cranky!

 

 

RPGrinders EP 810 - I'm Hungry

RPGrinders EP 808 - Its Like Taking Treasure From a Dragon

Happy New Year and welcome to 2024! A brand new... FUCK. Why does the new year make some of dumber than usual? I don't know but I do know that the Grinders are back. Or at least, they will be. They still have one final episode before they return in 2025. They will be back with more of the insanity of Game Night, the thoughtful conversations of the Driver's Seat, and the fantastical Panic Room. But first, let's flash back...

Back to the past. To an ancient time, I like to refer to as 2024. In that distant past the Grinders would start every episode with the latest news. Updates on when those games will join the rest of us in the future. Games like OFF, AI Limit, and Ys vs Trails in the Sky Alternative Sage may have been made in the distant past but will be arriving in 2025. 

They maybe from a past long forgotten but the Stinkos of history should never be lost. The past is seemingly doomed to repeat itself as Republicans, Democrats, racism, and misogyny never seem to go out of style. Democrats and Republicans worked together to give themselves raises while discriminating against the Trans community. Not to be out done, Disney made sure to spread their own brand of transphobia. Anyone who thinks misogyny and racism are dead, should see how her new (now former) fan base reacts to Caitlin Clark's interview about White Privilege. 

With the end of 2024 came the final episode of Panic Room. Well, maybe not the final episode but it is the last episode of the year that has long since passed. And it will be a good one, if Break can come up with something before time runs out. In the meantime, the Grinders talk about their favorite games of the year. Games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom stole many hours of Frank's life, and he has no regrets. Break surprised no one by choosing an RTS. And of course, Eric played a ton of JRPGs but only the best made his year-end list.

With that, it's time to go back to the future! (Don't sue me!) The Grinders no not what the future will bring but they know they will keep showing up every month to game, complain, argue, laugh, and have a good time. Even if 2025 is a shit sandwich of never-ending stupidity, the Grinders will be back every month and just as crazy as ever!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits!

 

 

 

 

TITS!

RPGrinders EP 807 - The Hallmark Episode!

RPGrinders EP 805 - Frank Makes America Great Again

Eff Trump! Oops, I meant welcome to another new episode of #RPGrinders. The last episode before the Holiday season shifts into high gear. Soon kids can look forward to a fat man in a red suit giving them presents, while the parents dread the fat man with a red tie stealing their kid's futures. Eff Trump. Since we are supposed to be nice during the holiday season, I (Break Man) will try (pinky swear) to behave myself.

Eff Trump. Hopefully, Krampus will. But for all the good children of the world, Santa may drop off something special like one of these November releases. Alaloth Champions Four Kingdoms and Heaven Burns Red have already been released but Riviera the Promised Land Remastered will be out before the end of the month. 

Eff Trump and the MAGA family members we will be forced to deal with over the holidays. I hope they all get stockings full of coal just like the rest of the cabinet pics that made the Stinkos. It's painfully obvious that I am still very bitter about the election. Eff Trump but he is far from the only usual suspect in the Stinko line-up as the police make the Naughty list again. Worst of all, poor Bernie got hurt at work. Eff Trump but get better soon Bernie!

Eff Trump. It's not his turn to do the Driver's Seat and it never will be! Just like the Nice List, it's something Trump will never see. It's my turn and I have a couple of revealing questions to ask our hosts. Do Frank, Eric, and myself have any special talents and what are our favorite foods? The Grinders might not be able to deliver billions of presents globally in under 6 hours but they do have some unique abilities. The Grinders aren't able to live on a diet of cookies and milk or Big Macs so what do they eat, and the most important question of all, what is their favorite pizza?!

Eff Trump and the police. Rocks and coal for every holiday unless they get visited by three ghosts and grow hearts 3 times their normal sizes. Until Santa Claus himself announces that Trump and the police are off the Naughty List. Then and only then will I want Krampus stop pooping on their doorsteps on Christmas Eve. 

Eff Trump but Happy Holidays everyone! I know it's just beginning but why wait for the end to wish everyone well. Except Trump. Eff Trump.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope "Eff Trump" doesn't get me in trouble. I was also thinking about:

%#$% Trump, screw Trump, and poop sandwich.
