All Hollow's Eve draws near. The temperatures are getting brisk. The leaves are rotting and covering the ground. Tree rats are beginning to gather their nuts for the long winter haul. Little bastards are preparing their costumes to pester their neighbors for candy. And the true sign of the Haunted Holiday, the Grinders are back with round two of the tournament to determine the Scariest Game of All Time!
As usual, the Grinders start the show with the latest news. There is good news for some, like the free update coming to Soul Hackers 2 and a reasonably priced Day 1 special edition of Trinity Trigger. Unfortunately, it's not good news for everyone as Tri Ace deals with large financial losses.
For the second week in a row, the Grinders have more reviews than the local newspaper! Eric gives his reviews of couple of Disney+ Star Wars shows. Frank reviews the new Beavis and Butthead, again, and it's still glorious! And Break, FINALLY, reviews The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
It wouldn't be RPGrinders without the Stinkos. Politics is always a Stinko but Break and Frank seem particularly pissed. The closer we get to the election, the worse the ads.
As bad as the Stinkos get, the Grinders can always fall back on the Sweetos to perk them back up. For Frank, nothing could be sweeter than the feeling of buying a new game system. Meanwhile, Eric & Break celebrate the spoils of Frank's trip to Vegas.
Did we mention there was a tournament to determine the Scariest Video Game of All Time?! The Grinders word is law and whatever game wins will be officially the scariest. But what will it be? Will Chris & Jill overcome the horrors of a mansion and a town called Silent Hill? Will a camera be a powerful enough to tool to stave off the terrifying Scissor Man? Is it scarier trapped in space or locked up in school? Can a convict Outlast real demons and his internal demons? With only 3 weeks left of October, we won't have to wait long for the answers!
Thank you for listening and don't forget to wish Eric a Happy Birthday!
Dear Amphibians, please remember to hide your offspring around Grogu.

In this episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through a decent chunk of news with some delays and date drops. There's also a physical release for Demon Gaze EXTRA. Afterwards they talk about what they've been playing before moving on to reviews. Eric dives into more MCU stuff, and Frank reviews Speak no Evil, The Cyberpunk 2077 anime, and has words for the new Munsters film. Stinkos and sweetos are also mentioned, with Frank talking about how fun Vegas was, including some gifts being given. We all lament the passing of Coolio though, and Ohio's continued descent into garbage. But after that depressing stuff, the Free for All is host to a new tournament, one to decide what's the greatest horror game of all time! Be sure to stay tuned as we work our way through the list by tuning in live on Fridays at 7 PM EST on Twitch/Youtube!

On this later summer episode, the Grinders find themselves under a time crunch. There is usually enough time for news, Stinkos, and reviews; but this episode has a lot of news, drama filled Stinkos, 10+ reviews, and a brand-new tournament! Can they get it all done? Will they? They will because they must!
As the fall grows ever closer, some companies are readying themselves for the final releases of 2022. The rest of the gaming industry and the news has begun the shift to 2023 and beyond. Two of the games with the most badass names, Grimgrimoire Oncemore and Process of Elimination (see, I told you the names were badass), are getting Spring releases, while Cyberpunk 2077 will be getting the Phantom Liberty expansion.
The Stinkos cause some division between the chatroom and the hosts. Tension is completely understandable as the American people try to navigate a new reality, in which women's healthcare is now criminalized by the state. Although we don't all agree on how things should be handled, we can all agree that we wish a speedy recovery to our very own Bernie and to the wife of our favorite Freak.
As the clock ticks down, the Grinders have to work hard as they have over TEN reviews! The majority of the reviews are for Marvel and DC movies, TV shows, and even a Video game. Break spent his time binging Batman, Nightwing, and the Teen Titans. While Eric immersed himself in the MCU with Captain America, the Scarlet Witch, Ms. Marvel, Thor, and his brother Loki. And Frank joined the crew of the Milano to save the galaxy!
The Grinders are running out of time, but they have a tournament to start. They only have the rest of the episode and episode 707 to answer the Greatest question known to mankind: What is the Worst NES game ever made? Was it an 8-bit Dolorian taking Marty McFly to shitty places? Is the worst RPG ever made (Hydlide) also the worst NES game? Is Uncle Fester as bad at being a video game hero as he is at fashion? What does T & C Surf Design stand for, Trash & Crap Surf Design? Where's Waldo? He's trapped in a shit game that induces eye bleeding.
32 pieces of shit enter. Only 1 won't get flushed. We find out which 1, on episode 707! Come join us as we put a crown on a piece of shit.
Beware the Batman. He's a perv.
