RPGrinders EP 725 - The Standoff

RPGrinders EP 724 - Don’t Be Rash

The RPGrinders are back again! It's another week and another excuse for Break not to do the news. Frank & Eric aren't fooled by Break's obvious ploy to get out of doing the news. They can'f force him to do his job. They are only left with one option, add it to the long list of complaints in this Stinko heavy episode.

New year brings new game and release date news. Switch gamers can look forward to Remnant: From the Ashes and Dokapon Kingdom Connect. March will see the the release of Little Witch Nobeta and the delayed Atelier Ryza 3. Giant mech lovers in Europe and North America will be getting the remake of Front Mission 1st. 

This Stinko heavy episode also has another overstuffed segment. The reviews! The Grinders have been busy watching movies, old and new alike. Frank loves his horror but how does he feel about the new killer doll Megan and the anime classic Vampire Hunter D movies. Break seems to be obsessed with blood lately, as he watched two more horror movies, The Night of the Living Dead remake and the FANTASTIC Invisible Man! Eric bucks the trend and gives his view on Maverick's journey through both Top Gun movies. 

As promised. The segment too big to compress. The Stinkos! As usual, Break has several Stinkos but he isn't alone. Is he alone in his thinking about elected House Representative George Santos, the blatant hypocrisy of a pro-Democrat media, or yet more evil committed by the police. Frank definitely agrees that the police are not our friends. He also believes people are overreacting to the new Pink Floyd logo, as well as some more personal Stinkos. Eric's controller died but more importantly, he has a very special message for American Airlines. 

And then there were some Sweetos about football and movie scripts, or something. And a Free-4-All about something or other. But who cares? We all know it was today's Stinkos that truly mattered! 

 

 

 

 

 

No one will ever know this episode was posted late.....MUHAHAHAHA

RPGrinders EP 723 - Shin Ultraman Vs Bad English Dubbing

In this packed episode of RPGrinders, the crew has some modestly sized news to get through. The highlights are the Bushiroad is clearing a path in its quest to be the next big publisher. Afterward, there are some reviews from Frank and Eric, with Frank covering the Final season of the Walking Dead and the series as a whole, while Eric reviews Shin Ultraman. For Stinkos Frank has a sister problem, and Eric gets a bug. Break is ever complaining about Ohio's criminal politicians and such. At least the Sweetos are much better to balance things out. And the crew finally has a true Free for All topic this time,  covering bad English dubs, and how it's usually not a good idea for the lead actor to voice the lead character in English and Japanese. Or maybe the voice direction needs to be better, as that's probably the biggest culprit of all. Hopefully, there can be more Free for All topics in 2023, but it's a good idea to listen to them live on Fridays on Twitch/Youtube, at 7 PM EST! 

RPGrinders EP 722 - The First of the New Year

In our inaugural episode of the year, Eric brings us a special deal on the eshop for Hollow Knight, Break Man revels in Kevin Mcarthy's failed bids to become house speaker and finally Frank almost breaks his hip trying to get to the scene of an accident.  All this and much more on this episode of the Grinders!  Follow us on Twitter @RPGrinders and be sure to join us LIVE 7 EST every Friday on Twitch here http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders   thanks for listening!

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!
