RPGrinders EP 763 - Tiny News 1234

In this tiny new filled episode, the guys waste no time getting to the Stinkos and Sweetos, but not before Eric has a Homie Discount to drop off. And Frank also has a review for Creepshow season 4. As for the Stinkos and Sweetos, Frank had some auto trouble, but at least he snagged a game for dirt cheap! And with all that out of the way, the crew jumps right into round 3 to determine the best (fictional)kill of all time! If you want to hear the conclusion of the tourney, you should listen live on Fridays at 7 PM EST on Twitch/Youtube!

RPGrinders EP 762 - RPGeezers (aka Happy Birthday Eric!)

As we come ever closer to the spookiest of holidays. The night seems to come sooner. It feels colder with every passing day. Once again, the dead walk the Earth. The oblivious mortals celebrate with sin and sweets. With the feeling of death in the air, it could only mean one thing. That's right, Friday the 13th of October! It's time to celebrate the man who Satan admires, Eric! The true meaning of the Halloween is finally revealed. It's because the things that go Bump in the Night party until November! Happy Birthday, Eric!

What better way is there to honor Eric then starting the show with his hard researched news? None! That's right. Not only should you thank him for Halloween. You need to thank him for the news! There are even a few releases to celebrate Eric's holiday. Sand of Aura, Little Goody Two Shoes and The Unliving all release before November. But if your gaming schedule is booked up until the end of the month, In Stars and Time and Hollow Cocoon release before the end of the year.

Even though this episode is a party, the Grinders spend time talking about the senseless killing happening in Israel and Palestine. The Grinders stand with the innocent people caught in the middle of another horrific war. Fuck all of the genocidal madmen involved! After spending time addressing the nightmare of a situation, the Grinders pivot to something more fun. The Sweetos! What could be sweeter than celebrating Eric's Birthday? Nothing! The party is so good, even the spirits are waking up to celebrate! 

No celebration of darkness and everything awesome would be complete without another tournament! Sixty-four of the most gruesome kills and murders in cinema history! Who will claim the title of greatest movie killer? Will Freddy Krueger introduce the Predator to prime-time television? Will Leatherface use his mallet to add Alien tartare to the menu? Will the ageless wizard Shang Tsung steal Norman Bates' soul, or will Mother save his day? Pamela Vorhees has forever had to take second-fiddle to her famous son Jason. Will she be able to claim the title of best killer in the family or will Jason teach her the proper use for a sleeping bag? Will Negan and Lucille when the double team match against Elvira and her basketball? 

The bad guys weren't the only killers to compete. Some of the heroes have been proven to be just as brutal. Heroes like John Wick and John McClane are proficient with guns but how many killers are as deadly with an icicle or a pencil? Will Indiana Jones teach Connan to never bring his giant sword to a gun fight? Will Kung Lao teach Connor Macleod not to bring a sword to a hat fight? Can the quick reflexes of a cyborg overcome the face ripping vengeance of Furiosa?

As the darkness grows closer and streets get quiet, don't worry. There is no need to be afraid. The ghosts and goblins are only stirring because they want to party too! Just cause your dead is no excuse to not celebrate Eric's Birthday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I reeeeeeeally wanted to name the show Hollow Cock but that seemed kinda rude.

 

 

 

RPGrinders Review #62 - Blasphemous II

I review the follow-up title to Blasphemous for the Xbox consoles!

RPGrinders EP 761- The More You Kill

IT'S OCTOBERFEST!  This episode we have just a bit of news and it's fortunate because we have a HUGE October tournament!  Frank gives his review of Castlevania Nocturne, Break talks some upcoming votes on the dockett in Ohio, and Eric reviews the follow up series to Adventure Time!  Join us every Friday 7EST here: http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders and thanks for listening!

RPGrinders EP 760 - Mascot Massacre

In this bloated episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through a chunky news segment. The highlights are that the PlayStation CEO is retiring, and one company is making excuses to delay a game rather than being honest. Or they are just being stupid. Who releases a game in February unless you are sure you'll rake it in? Eric also has another hilarious adult manga bundle to help those horny and lonely listeners get their freak on. He also reviews the latest Castlevania animated series, as well as My Adventures with Superman. Stinkos are mostly what you'd expect, but at least we can all take solace in the fact that Feinstein finally passed. Why do lifetime appointments continue to exist? And finally, the moment you've all been waiting for: the final rounds to determine which Mascot will be deemed the Greatest of All Time! Be sure to tune in live on Fridays at 7 PM EST on Twitch/YT to see other ridiculous things! 

RPGrinders Review #61 - The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails

I reviewed the PS4 remaster of this fantastic PSP classic!

RPGrinders EP 759 - Taste the Biscuit

The long hot Summer is over. No more bathing suits, BBQs, sunburns, and mosquitos. Making way for the tastiest of all seasons, Pumpkin Spice Season. Unlike these seasons, the Grinders don't take off the rest of the year! We will be here for Pumpkin Spice Season, Spooky Season, Football Season, Baseball Season, Basketball Season, Air-Conditioning Season, Spring, and the worst season of them all, Frostbite Season. It's ALWAYS Grinder Season! 

Unlike Pumpkin Spice, we all will be able to enjoy these releases long into the Freezing Your Ass Off Season. A new entry in the Like a Dragon series, Infinite Wealth, the Apollo Justice Ace Attorney trilogy, Rushing Beat X, and The Legends of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4 all come out early next year. For the people not willing to wait till next year, Blossom Tails 2 and Triggerheart Exelica will both release before the end of the Empty Wallet Season. 

Every Friday is Grinder Season. The season wouldn't be as magical if we didn't address our Stinkoes and celebrate our Sweetoes. It just wouldn't be a normal season unless Break was angry about the Ohio Republican Party. It would be a first if the police managed to not piss off Frank and to not be a Stinko. We all know they are and we know they will make a "guest" appearance next Grinder Season. It isn't not all bad news for the Police as they finally get to celebrate a Sweeto... sorta.

This Grinder Season wouldn't be complete without the final results of the of latest and greatest tournament known to humankind! This Season the Grinders finally decide who will be the Greatest Mascot of All Time. Sixty-four of the great ones entered. Now eight remain. Only one can be champion. Will Ronald McDonald and his Happy Meal Gang be able to fend off the one Chef wrecking crew known as Boyardee? Will the Scrubbin Bubbles clean up the mess the Kool-Aid man left? Will the too cool for school Spuds McKenzie enjoy a free trip to Geoffrey's castle or will the Giraffe send Spuds home crying to his house full of Dallas Cheerleaders? Will two attractive twins be able to win against a Man who is so Interesting that even his beard has its own fan club? 

Another Grinder Season has come and gone. Don't worry because Grinder Season will be back next Friday LIVE and hopefully not as buggy! Grinder Season will be here through all of the other less awesome seasons!

 

 

 

 

 

Public service announcements:

Don't be on that bitter old man shit. 

Don't forget to have your Break Man spayed or neutered. 

RPGrinders EP 758 - Happy Berfday Bernie!

This episode the guys tear through a bunch of news, Eric reviews Lisa, Break Man of course details some more nonsense from the Ohio GOP, and Frank finally finishes and reviews Breath of the Wild!  Oh and it's Bernies's Birthday tomorrow!  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders and on YouTube!  Thanks for listening!

RPGrinders EP 757 - Who Wants to Play in the Garden of Sinners?

In this episode of RPGrinders, the crew has some light news to get through, with the highlight being that a Yggdra Union collection bundle has been announced. No word on a Western release but one can hope(or hope that English support is on the cart at least). Frank reviews Exists and Mine Games while Eric reviews the first season of the live-action adaptation of One Piece. For the Stinkos, a Japanese Let's Player gets a way too harsh sentence, and Frank has PS5 issues. Also, the Ohio GOP continues to suck major ass. At least for the Sweetos, Frank decks out their car. Afterward, the second round of the tourney to determine the greatest mascot ever is on the docket! Who will carry on? Be sure to tune in to find out, and then maybe listen to the show live on Fridays at 7 PM EST, on Twitch/Youtube!
