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?
