RPGrinders Review #69 - Lords of the Fallen

I review both of these games, but maybe you can guess which game is better?

RPGrinders EP 773 - Final RPGrinders MMXXIII

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

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!

RPGrinders EP 771 - The Best Holiday Movie Ever

That's right folks! the time has come to announce the winner of the last tourney of the year. But before any of that, there is some news. a new Legend of Heroes game is announced, and the Aeterna series gets a few developments. After that, Eric has reviews for Krampus, The Boy and the Heron, and Super Mario RPG(Remake, but on the feed). Frank reviews Night of the Comet as well for that 80s Nostalgia that still holds up. The Stinkos are the usual, but at least for the Sweetos, Frank avoids arrest. and then that tourney mentioned earlier happens. Depending on the type of person you are, you'll likely get upset by the winner. But if you want to experience all of this drama live on Fridays at 7 AM EST on Twitch/Youtube!

RPGrinders EP 769 - Pizza Shit

HO HO Holy shit...I'm making the same joke I made last year! That's right! I lack creativity. So deal with it and get ready to deal with another episode of gaming news, movie reviews, a brand-new holiday themed tournament, the Stinkos, the Sweetos, and the everything Betweenos.  

The year may be winding down, but the news just won't quit. New games like Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs and a remaster of Beyond Good & Evil are still being announced. The year isn't even done with game releases, as FF7 Ever Crisis and Cookie Cutter are releasing this month. It's not too soon to start planning for next year with games like Cupid Parasite: Sweet & Spicy Darling and Unfortold: Witchstone scheduled for 2024 releases.

The holidays may be the season of cheer and goodwill, but it is also the season of long cold nights. After a long day of working and a long night of holiday shopping, it might be nice to go home and relax. Sit down in your favorite chair, light up the fireplace, pour yourself an ice-cold eggnog, and roll that holiday kush for an evening of Hollywood entertainment. Disney's best TV show returns for a second season of time skipping with the mischievous god, Loki. Max adds a new superhero to the live action roster, the Blue Beetle. For those who prefer to see their movies in a theater, the Marvels and Godzilla Minus One might not be couch ready but they are definitely worth the time.

The holidays maybe a time of joyful celebration but it wouldn't be RPGrinders without the Stinkos! Crooked politicians always make the Stinko list, even when they die. Some members of our government continue to ramp up their war on minority groups. They continue to push their religious views and disproven conspiracies about the LGBTQ+ community. These joy hating scrooges want to force gay orphans to live under religious oppression. Bah humbug to the scrooges. Bah humbug * 1000 to the genocidal maniacs and their bloodlust.  

The Stinkos may be naughty but the Sweetos are here to bring back the nice for this holiday season. What would the holidays be like without family? Less stressful. Family can be great but it can be just as great to get away from bad family members. As Frank celebrate his victory on the home front, another Grinder makes a tiny step in finding his Pride. Break got some new gay earrings. They are only gay because he is wearing them.

The holiday season just wouldn't be the same without a new tournament! That's right! What better way to celebrate the holidays than a tournament death match?! The 32 best holiday movies! Christmas, New Years Eve, Hanukkah, and even Groundhogs Day go head-to-head but there can only be one day of Christmas! Can Will Farrell's Buddy the Elf save Christmas and slay the tournament competition? (Victory tastes good but not as good as syrup on spaghetti.) Will Bill Murray's character reform his life while dodging Bobcat's shotgun and physically abusive ghosts? (He could really use a proton pack.) Does Adam Sandler's character find redemption after 8 Crazy Nights and give the only Hanukkah movie the power to fight the "War on Christmas"? ("The War on Christmas" lol some people are very stupid.) Is Die Hard the best holiday movie? (John McClain kills terrorists and blows shit up while dropping funny quips. What could be more Christmas than that?) Does Batman's holiday Return strike fear into the hearts of the competition? (It should. Three words: Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman.) Can Bill Murray and the rest of the Ghostbuster's save the new year from a genocidal ghost and 31 other holiday movies? (SEE! Told you he could have used a proton pack.) Will Krampus be able to overcome all of the Holiday cheer? (Note to self: In the middle of a blizzard. Don't let your teenage daughter walk to her boyfriend's house.) Is representing two holidays cheating? (Trading Places says no.) Is Jim Carrey's green meanie going to steal Christmas from the happy little Woos and victory from the rest of the tournament competitors? (Jim Carrey was MEANT to play characters with green faces.)

The holidays are just beginning. Time is running out. So if you kiddies haven't tricked your parents into thinking you were a good kid all year long, you still have some time! Just like all good kids, be sure to download RPGrinders and listen every week! All good parents make sure their children never miss an episode.

 

 

Important Announcement. Repeat after me: Die Hard IS a Christmas movie. Gremlins IS a Christmas movie. Lethan Weapon IS a Christmas movie. Groundhog's Day is NOT a Christmas movie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You better not cry. You better not shout. The RPGrinders know if you have been Stinko or Sweeto.
