RPGrinders EP 738 - Getting Snaked

There are too many snakes on this plane! In this snake-riddled episode of RPGrinders, the crew goes over a nice chunk of news. A lot of ports, Battle Network Legacy Collection dominates, and Cygame branching out in NA and EU are the highlights. But afterward, Eric reviews Snakes on a Plane. As For Stinkos, there are plenty, but at least Break now has a Sweeto of all time, as hopefully, his computer woes are over. Then the next round for the best Fighting Game series of all time continues! A discussion about Nintendo having an unreasonable punishment for Gary Bowser is had as well. To find out which game/series makes it to the next round, be sure to listen. Especially when the show is live on Fridays on Youtube/Twitch at 7 PM EST!

RPGrinders Review #52 - Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories

I review the Xbox version of this follow-up to a fun little RPG Maker-developed indie title!

RPGrinders EP 737- Fight Fight Fight!

Let the backstabbing begin!  After the news the guys discuss a bit of the aftermath of 4/20, The Dahli Lama being a creep, the Fox/Dominion suit being a bit of a letdown, and finally the guys backstab their way to the top and we decide the greatest fighting franchise of all time!  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST right here: http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders  Thanks for listening!

RPGrinders EP 736 - Spite Fighter

The fight is on! This week's episode gets highly competitive. Arguing over Trans rights, disagreements about reviews, fighting with listeners, arguing with each other, even a fight to determine the greatest fighting game franchise of ALL TIME?! No participation trophies. We are fighting to win!

The fighting starts even before the news! The chatters and the Grinders disagree about the rights of the Trans community. It's a personal issue to Eric and an important issue to address.

The news is a little later than usual, but not as late as the games being delayed. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Endless Dungeon have both been kicked back but they haven't been canceled. By the middle of next month, the Free-to-Play version of Disgaea won't be able to punch its way out of a server shutdown. At least it's not all bad news, as the city of Detroit will soon get to enjoy the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert!

To win a fight it takes stamina, not unlike what it will take to watch everything the Grinders reviewed! Hours of Japanese cartoons about the human body, American cartoons about the horrors of puberty, the horrors of Infinity Pool, the horror of being dead and still stuck in high school, a surprisingly good Plane, and even the Caped Crusader.

As if the Grinders weren't ready for a fight, the Stinkos are here to add fuel to the fire. A country that is seemingly at war with itself and its government. States that have decided to rule instead of represent. Even some personal battles against bad apps and bad family members. 

Just as the bloodlust comes to a boil, it's time to begin the process of determining the Greatest Fighting Game Franchise of All Time! Will Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li prevail over the Bogard brothers and their friends? Will Mortal Kombat dish it out or become the next Fatality? Can Dead or Alive's physical "attributes" be enough to defend itself against a Guilty Gear assault? Can the realism of the UFC and the Fight Night survive in a genre that is known for being over the top? If Capcom and SNK team up, could they overcome SNK's tag-battle champion?

Goku vs Naruto, we all want to know. 

And that is all just the first round. We do two rounds tonight! The second round is even more shocking than the first!

Did I say that was the last segment? Surprise! We aren't tapping out yet! We have time for one more segment! A free-for-all discussion about the treatment of a nervous teenager at a gaming competition. Was he mistreated or is he just a complainer? 

Now the fight is over! We can all go back to our locker rooms, shower, and head home. Win or lose the fight will continue. Let's get ready to rumble, fight the power, don't throw in the towel, act like you've been there before, and all of those other lame competition cliches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Participation awards for everyone! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FINISH HIM!

 

 

RPGrinders EP 735 - Raiding Your Dungeons with Mario

In this filled episode of RPGrinders, the crew has a nice chunk of news to get through, with highlights being a Birdie Wing game, and a Sony making a Not Hand-held to remote play PS5 games with. Afterward, Eric reviews Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean, while they and Frank joint review both Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and the Super Mario Bros. Movie. There are also quite a few stinkos to go around, but at least for Frank's Sweetos, some Raytheon bastards met a deserving fate. For Free for All, the topic of the crew's worst gaming experience they've had is chosen. Be sure to listen to that or other shows live on Twitch/Youtube on Fridays at 7-9 PM EST!  

RPGrinders EP 734 - The Rage of Gamers

This episode Break is happy because of a certain former presidents' indictment, Eric and Frank review John Wick 4, and the entire crew have a brief discussion on gamer rage. F&*$%$&%&$%**%&$*##

RPGrinders EP 733 - No Butts

It's currently award season in America. The time of year when actors, musicians, video games, and many more are flaunted over and rewarded with shiny trophies. The RPGrinders have even awarded some games with the ultimate award, the GOAT. But what about the bad games and movies? The bad movies have the Razzies but what about video games? The Grinders have a solution! Today they will determine the Worst Movie to Video Game adaption! 

The Worst Game is only a small part of the show. Things go wrong from the start as Break botches the opening in place of a sick Frank. But the Grinders wont let that stop them from bringing the news, reviews, Stinkos, Sweetos, and maybe a little surprise. 

As always, the Grinders start with the news but in shorter form than usual. With Frank sick the Grinders don't spend as much time on the news as normal but that doesn't mean it is useless information. There were some new announcements: like the PC and mobile King Arthur: Legends Rise and the action RPG TMNT: the Last Ronin. No release date has been given for those two games but Caligula Effect: Overdose and Miasma Chronicles were given late May release dates. If May is too long a wait, Squenix has you covered with their Voice of Cards trilogy.

Even though Frank is fighting the deadly cold virus he is able to give three new movie reviews! Are Utah Cabin Murders, Knock at the Cabin, or Puss in Boots worth the admission price? Maybe the first rule of horror movies should be "Don't go to a Cabin in the Woods." Coincidentally, Eric also reviewed a movie in the Shrek universe. As well as the made for men, lesbian anime Yurikuma Arashi. 

If you haven't figured out Frank's Stinko then I won't spoil the germy surprise. Of course, Republicans and Democrats make the list EVERY week. This time they are joined by their enabling mass media.  

In happier happenings, Break is enjoying some long over-due Halo Infinite updates and Frank is excited for John Wick 4.

Thanks, for listening. Be sure to check us out every Friday LIVE at 7 PM Eastern.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait, isn't there something else....

 

THE WORST VIDEO GAME TO MOVIE ADAPTION OF ALL TIME!

 

Only 8 games remain but only one can earn the dubious title! Will E.T. gobble up the competition like a bag of Reece's Pieces or will he be stuck in that hole forever? Will Shrek Swamp Kart Racer live up to its new name, Swamp Ass? Does the Last Action Movie game suck worse than the movie reviews? (Fuck them! That movie rules!) Will Platoon live up to NES tradition of bad movie game adaptions? (Spoiler Alert. Yes. Yes it will.) Is Enter the Matrix the first (and only) thing that Keanu Reeve's can't save? Can Abraham Lincoln fighting Tyler Durden make an entertaining Fight Club game? (Spoiler Alert: No. No they can't.) What ya gonna do when a friend puts Bad Boys Miami in your PS2? Hint, get a new friend. Or better yet. Make your friend play the Gamecube's ultimate shame, Catwoman.
