RPGrinders EP 792 - The Return of the Kings!

After a seemingly eternity from doing a live show the RPGrinders are back in full effect!  After a hearty news segment the guys talk the current season of the Boys and how meandering its been, Break laments the passing of Shelly Duvall, Frank puts the guys in a shark cage for the Panic Zone, and finally we come to a satisfying conclusion (get your mind out of the gutter!) for Game Night!  Join us LIVE for the first 3 Fridays of the month 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders or on YouTube (search RPGrinders).  Thanks for listening!

RPGrinders EP 790 - Game Night: Episode 5 - The Return of the Return to Frank World

Pride month has been a wild one for the RPGrinders. Eric has been forced to do the news by himself. Break has been going broke at Pride festivals. Frank had such a bad day that we were forced to cancel one night! With so much going on will the Grinders have enough time to finish Game Night?

Normally, the show would start with the news but Eric did the hard work of recording all of the news in a separate mini episode. Without news the Grinders skip ahead. 

With a two-week break the Grinders have plenty of reviews. Eric reviews a classic 80s trilogy that made a crazy man into a Hollywood icon. The review of the post-apocalyptic Mad Max trilogy leads into the newest movie in the franchise, Furiosa. Eric also gives his review of the first season of Delicious in Dungeon. Break and Frank also have reviews but Eric is obviously the star of this segment!  

Next up is the Stinkos, and Break's attempts at dragging the show on forever with a laundry list of complaints. A corrupt Supreme Court, dirty Ohio politicians, the death of arguably the greatest baseball player to ever live and a Hollywood legend, are only a handful of his complaints. Does he ever have anything good to say?

Yes, he does! And that is they the Sweetos come next! Break enjoys a far-Right political group sticking it to Trump. Booing Trump should be a National Pastime. Frank enjoys the spoils of a brand-new washing machine and by spoils, I mean clean clothes. Eric isn't to be left out as the Nintendo Direct was able to meet his high standards.

With no episode on the last Friday in June, will the Grinders be able to complete game night in this episode? The heroes start the current adventure with a choice before them. A Forest, a Dungeon, and a Field were all challenges that need to be defeated before they complete the magic scroll, defeat the evil squirrel wizard, Cutie Pie, and escape his curse. So far, the heroes have defeated the Dungeon but not in time to rescue their uber-hot friends. 

Now only two areas remained. Which would the party choose first: A Rabbit infested Field or a cursed Forest?  Either choice will be dangerous. The Forest is currently run by one of the many families of the Rabbit mafia, the Cottontail family. The Forest may even be more dangerous as its list of enemies is more diverse and hungrier. 

Will our heroes survive? Will they be able to beat Game Night in one night? Will Eric and Frank finally get fed up with Break's ludicrous story telling? Can the chatters trust Frank to roll a 20? Can this clusterfuck of a game actually entertain? 

*fingers crossed*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes. That is the voice of God. Now GET! GET ON OUTTA 'ERE!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HAPPY PRIDE!

 

RPGrinders EP 789 - The Return!

After a 3 week hiatus the Grinders are BACK!!  We run thru a bunch of news stories, Eric reviews the new "Apes" movie, Frank reviews the House that Jack Built, and finally Break Man brings back the beloved segment GAME NIGHT!!!!!  What does Break Man have in store for our hearty adventurers?  Find out on this jam packed episode!   Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST except for the final friday of the month!  http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders. Thanks for listening!

RPGrinders EP 787 - The Gentleman Pervert

Frank, this one is for you...

A wise one once said that great things come in threes, at least I think that is what they said. We do have plenty of evidence to prove it; the Nasty Boys couldn't be hit, the Fat Boys could always drop a beat, the Police are one of the best selling bands of all time, and the RPGrinders are the greatest trio of video game/skeptic podcasters! 

Like a Message in a Bottle a new wave of news has more than one story to tell. At least, no one will have to wait as long for these upcoming releases than for a bottle to float across the ocean. Rocket Knight Adventures Re-Sparked will be releasing in June, while Gundam Breakers 4 gets an August release, and Reynatis arrives just in time for Fall. 

Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland were a band with an unfortunate name. As there is no group that has featured in the Stinkos more prominently than the actual police! Can the cops even go a week without murdering an innocent civilian? I don't know but I bet the Police would make better law enforcement.  

The Driver's Seat is back and this time Frank is at the wheel and a fully loaded trunk. The police (not the Police) and A.I. way heavily on Frank's mind. We already know we can't trust the police (you can probably trust the Police) but can we trust A.I.? Is Every Breath You Take being watched by the machines? Will the computer overlords deem humanity a threat? Will A.I. attack humanity and can humanity survive the Fall Out? Is A.I. as big a threat as Frank believes? Or are Break and Eric right to be excited for a future living side by side a brand-new life form and friend? 

I want to wish a special thank you to the Police. I mean this from the bottom of my heart: please don't sue me. I also want to apologize to Frank because I couldn't figure out how to work Roxanne into this in any other way than this. The same for Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, but I worked this song in for me. 

 

Every little thing she does is magic.

Everything she do just turns me on.

Even though my life before was tragic.

Now I know my love for her goes on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Gentleman Pervert says please before he flashes strangers.

The Gentleman Pervert always washes his hands before and after groping random women. 

The Gentleman Pervert thanks the women after peeping in their windows. 

The Gentleman Pervert washes, folds, and returns all of the panties he steals. He even leaves an apology note.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RPGrinders EP 784 - Plugging Frank

For the first time in too long, Spring is back and the Grinders are back together. What better way to enjoy the nice weather than to kick back in a hammock and listen to a new episode of RPGrinders? There isn't, because it's a new episode with new reviews, new Stinkos, new Sweetos, new Panic Zone, and new news! 

There is no better way to enjoy the Spring air than to crank up the loudest speaker and listen to the Grinders deliver the news. After listening to the latest episode of Grinders, or binging several, there are some new games and updates coming to help fill time before the end of the season. New games Runa and Gestalt: Steam & Cinder are coming soon, while Remnant 2 and Fallout 4 receive new dlc. Exploring the waste land sounds like a fun Spring activity.

Although the afternoons are nice and warm, the Spring evenings can still be cold. It's time to go inside and bundle-up on the couch. Relax and experience something new. Maybe jump back into the world of horror with a movie like Bagman, or experience the end of the DCMU with Aquaman 2 and the Suicide squad. 

For every beautiful Spring day there is another Spring day that is just as cold and nasty as the Stinkos! Then we have the United States police force that seems to be nastier than even Mother Nature's worst days! The Grinders also mourn the death of a legendary actor. 

In the cold winter months, Frank warmed everyone with a new feature. Now the season has changed to Spring is there a better way to celebrate than the return of the Panic Room? TWO PANIC ROOMS! That's right, this episode has two new scenarios for the Grinders to tackle. Eric puts math and technology to the test while Frank offers another situation that involves everyone's favorite giant thunder lizard. 

Now it's time to enjoy the Spring. Go outside. Lay about. Listen to RPGrinders and ignore all of the household chores. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I almost called it "Pegging Frank" but I didn't want to "disappear" like the other co-hosts.

 

 

RPGrinders EP 780 - Game Night

This episode we are back after a much needed week break.  Eric was sick this week so it was up to Break and Frank.  This week, after the news and the normal shenanigans, the guys try out a new D&D style game created by Break Man!  Will the party survive?  Find out on this edition of RPGrinders!  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders or search RPGrinders on YouTube!  Thanks for listening!

 

P.S. Please listen to this episode because Break Man put in a ton of effort to create this new fun segment, he would appreciate very much and probably stlather you in hugs!

RPGrinders EP 779 - Naughty Frank

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

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

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!
