RPGrinders Review #44 - Chained Echoes

I review the Xbox version of this well-made Western JRPG-styled adventure!

RPGrinders EP 721 - Goodbye to You, 2022

The Grinders are back for the last episode of 2022. It's time to move on from the old and bring in the new. But first it's time to look back at the year that was! So pop open the champagne. Get out the streamers. Make your New Year's Resolutions. And ring in the new year with the RPgrinders.

Is there a better way to look ahead than the latest news stories of upcoming releases? January is going to start the year off right with the release of We Are the Caretakers, early access to Glimmer in Mirror, and new dlc for Strangers of Paradise. 

The RPGrinders wouldn't dream of ending the year without Stinkos. As usual, Break has a lot of complaints. Is he ever not mad? Not as long as politicians are never held accountable and use human beings in dangerous political stunts. Human cruelty isn't political, it's evil. Frank has seen evil firsthand. He can see the sickening parallels between the way some people treat immigrants and the homeless.

Don't threat. It isn't all bad news. In fact, the Grinders have some good Sweetos to lift the mood. It was a historical week as actual Meta-Humans were discovered! Superheroes are real! They have been hiding in plain sight all along. Just slightly less historic is Frank's list of new games!

For reasons unknown, Break decided to punish himself this week. He watched four movies of questionable quality. Movies like A Christmas Story are back with an official sequel just in time to ruin Christmas. Break also spent time in the world of DC. Does he smell what Black Adam is cooking? Can Bird of Prey redeem Harleyquinn? Is it a good idea for a man with suicidal tendencies to make a joke about a bad movie called Suicide Squad? (Probably not but Break has really dark humor.) 

For the final segment of 2022, the Grinders look back to some of their favorite and movies. A lot of fun time was spent playing TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Eldin Ring, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and Guardians of the Galaxy. More fun time was also spent on great movies like Terrifier 2, Godzilla vs Kong, and Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes. 

The Grinders also talk about the hours they regret losing to crappy games and movies. The movies Batman v Superman, Morbius, Moonfall were only some of the self-inflicted cruelties.  Bad games? Agony, enough said.

To close out another successful year of RPGinders, Frank has a heartfelt speech for his co-hosting friends Eric & Break. We feel the love and want it to spread. Happy New Year everyone! No matter if 2022 was good or bad, hopefully 2023 will be better.

RPGrinders EP 720 - The Worst Movie of All Time

It's finally coming to a head in this tourney of terrible theatrics. But before any of that, the crew has to get through some news. Some release date announcements, ports for the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters, and The Cowabunga Collection getting an update to address lingering issues are the keynotes to look out for. Afterward, the crew has a few reviews. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is covered by everyone, while Eric reviews the not-so-good Black Adam. After some Stinkos and Sweetos covering mostly the Orange dumbass and Griner finally coming home, The final part of this tournament concludes. It's something worth tuning in to hear. The crew also sends its good wishes to everyone for the holidays. Be sure to catch next week's episodes and more live on Fridays at 7 PM EST on Twitch/Youtube! 

RPGrinders Review #42 and 43 - Cthulu Saves Christmas and This Way Madness Lies

I review these two games from Zeboyd Games! Also please listen to the recent interview!

RPGrinders Interviews: Interview with Bill From Zeboyd Games

As the title suggests, Frank and Eric interview Bill of Zeboyd Games, talking about the dev process, and especially of their new title, This Way Madness Lies. It's a fun interview and game, so be sure to listen and check the game, among others out!

RPGrinders EP 719 - Break Man and THUNDER!

This episode EricRPG gets a new nickname courtesy of Bernie, Frank finds hilarity in Trumps new NFT's, and finally Break is seriously considering dropping his laptop off a bridge (LOL).  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST here: http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders thanks for listening!

RPGrinders Review #41 - GRIME

I reviewed this fun(yet buggy on consoles ATM) Souls-like Metroidvania for the Xbox and Steam Deck! Thanks to Akupara Games and Clover Bite Studios for the code!

RPGrinders Review #40 - God of War: Ragnarock

I reviewed this fun action-adventure sequel for the PS5!

RPGrinders Review #39 - Firewatch

I reviewed the 'Not really a walking simulator' Firewatch on the Xbox One!

RPGrinders EP 718 - Fuck Me, Santa

HO HO HO Holy shit, the RPGrinders are back with another brand-new episode. What's happening in this jolly episode? The holiday season is in full swing, the news is jam packed, the greastest tournament ever returns for a second round, Frank has some nice words for a bad man, Break still hates the government, and Eric is forced to tolerate them both.

With the holidays comes cold weather and cold weather gives us plenty of time to game! Although these games won't be out in time for this winter, maybe you we can spend next winter playing some of the recently announced titles (if they are released, of course). The walking simulator is returning for Death Stranding 2, a return to Greek mythology for Hades 2, a cutesy version of Bayonetta, or from the ashes of Remnant 2?

If those games don't release in time for the holidays, don't worry because Squenix has us covered! They have finally announced the release date for the 16th title in the most storied of gaming franchises, Final Fantasy! It comes out in the middle of the year but it will probably go on sale for the 2023 holiday season.

The review portion of the show is shorter than normal but it is a Feast. 

If all the holiday cheer and good tidings are getting on your nerves, the Stinkoes are what you need. The Grinders all have a lot of complaints. As usual, Break is pissed off at Donald Trump and the Republicans but is he also as pissed at the Democrats? Frank is even more angry at Trump and his threats against the United States of America. As bad as all of those were, they don't compare to Eric's terrible week!

If you aren't over the holidays and are looking for good cheer, nothing will leave you more surprised than Frank's Sweeto.

What's worse than getting a gift you don't want or seeing someone's disappointment at what you bought them? The Worst Movie of All Time! Only 32 sucktacular movies are still on the list but only 16 can continue. Will the Blair Witch bore us more than House of the Dead offends our intelligence? Which hit movie was more overrated, Men in Black 2 or Mrs. Doubtfire? Is the offensive and badly cast Dragon Ball Evolution worse than the shit burger that is Double Dragon? Will It's a Wonderful Life, the Christmas "classic", Crash and burn? Four Batman turds (it's why he smells) started the tournament, will any move on, or will only Robin lay the egg? Who is the worse actor, Rob Zombie's wife or Lindsay Lohan? Velocipastor, is there anything more to say?

Grab your cookies, pour yourself some holiday spirits, crowd around the fireplace, and stream our latest episode of tomfoolery and cheer. Happy holidays to everyone!
