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 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!

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 772 - Good Burger Returns to Air it’s Grievances
Friday Dec 29, 2023
Friday Dec 29, 2023
In the second to last episode of the year for this show, the crew gets through a small bit of news(quit complaining old man). Afterward, Eric reviews Good Burger 2(Two more reviews are on the feed) and Frank reviews Cat Quest and Barbie. The Stinkos mostly are about the same things but Frank laments the time for the completion of any game you invest in, which means his Sweeto is getting a Platinum Trophy. And with the last tourney of the year behind us, the crew can finally talk about a proper Free for All topic, this time about the improper use of AI and how it's pushing people out of their jobs, and especially to disastrous results. Be sure to tune in for the next show where new segments are promised on Fridays at 7PM EST on Twitch/Youtube! Happy Holidays!
