RPGinders EP 699 - Bring Home the Bacon

This is episode 699, the last episode before the final episode of RPGrinders.... Until the following week when we do another episode! The end is not nigh. 700 won't be a beginning or an end but it will be a blast! In the meantime, enjoy this lively episode!

It wouldn't be an episode of RPGrinders if Break wasn't late because he had to fight Skype in one-on-one combat. Break keeps getting his ass whooped, so maybe he needs training? Or maybe he just uses Skype as the scapegoat to get out of doing the news? Break's tardiness can't stop the news. He can't stop Bayonetta 3 or the Sega Genesis Mini 2 from coming out this October. He can't stop Balder's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 from coming to modern platforms, later this month. And he sure as hell can't stop companies from announcing some upcoming titles, like Kirby's Dream Buffet and Mato Anomalies.

This week Frank's reviews are spoilerific, so if you don't want to hear about season 3 of The Boys or the South Park: Post COVID Special you should stop reading now and scroll to the bottom of the page. The Boys is a well written and amazingly acted show that is only getting better every season. Of course, South Park continues to be one of the funniest shows ever made. But if you don't like spoilers, Eric gives his review of the latest Thor movie. How does it stack up to the critically well received third Thor movie? 

If you don't listen to this show to laugh and have fun, maybe you listen in anger waiting impatiently for your favorite segment: the Stinko of the Week. With the state of affairs in America, abortion continues to be the main topic. The Grinders all have their own personal feelings about the new laws but are in total agreement, the government has no business in our bodies. And, as usual, Democrats and Republicans alike also earn their ire.

The tournament closes out this episode. Moving the Grinders one more round closer to determining the Greatest Gamecube Game of All Time! Two Resident Evils are still on the list, will either make it to next week? Which is the better sequel, Super Monkey Ball 2 or Soul Calibur 2 (I spelled it right this time!)? Are sequels like Metroid Prime 2 and X-men Legends 2 better than the originals? Can cartoon Link save cartoon Zelda and return to compete next week? Will Baby Mario and Baby Luigi reek as much havoc on the tournament bracket as the do on the racetrack? Can Mario water blast his way to innocence and another week on the bracket? Will the Eternal Darkness screw up the brackets as badly as it can screw with your head? On episode 700, we will declare a winner!

All these and so much more. We hope this wets-your-appetite for episode 700. If not, then maybe bacon will. When you think of bacon, think of episode 700. Mmmm bacon.

Did I mention bacon? Cause bacon!
