RPGrinders EP 817 - The Episode Without a Description

RPGrinders EP 816 - The Calamity aka The No Eric Show

This week we are sans Eric but Bernie B. steps in like a champ!  A short news cycle leads to great discussions about politics, egg shortages, and finally just lamenting Eric not being here.  Shout out to Bernie B. for stepping up!  We are live first 3 Fridays of every month 7EST.  thanks for listening!

RPGrinders EP 185 - Totally Tentacle Porn

It's the last day of February and the end the month normally means that the Grinders would be enjoying an undeserved day of rest. Instead, they are back with an extra special episode of Game Night! That's right. No News. No Reviews. Just Game Night and some Stinkos, cause we all love the Stinkos!

Episode 2 of the sci-fi D & D ripoff continues! Eric the host leads Eric the character on a grand space adventure. Frank is along for the ride as he narrates and takes over the role of Elizabeth. Not to be left out, the Grinder's favorite chatters control the android we forgot to name. 

In a galaxy not very far away, the heroes fight to save survivors on a poorly named space station. To save the day they will have to contend with space pirates and slime creatures. Even worse, they have to contend with the bad voice acting (Not sure if he prefers his meh writing or bad voice acting) and devious machinations of the DM Break Man.

What evil plans does Break have in store for our heroes? Will Eric lead Eric to victory? Will Frank help Elizabeth save the galaxy? Or will the chatters blow it all up?

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the game, the Grinders have some big Stinkos to discuss. It has been a rough week for most of the world. Politics and Trump are dominating the news cycle.  His minions are doing ruining everything meant to help the American people. The Orange wannabe king is causing chaos across the globe. Even as people are dying in a war, Trump still finds a way to make it all about himself. How much more can America take? What will it take for Americans to start fighting for our democratic republic, before it is too late?

 

 

 

 

 

 

People keep telling me it's a clown show but clowns are funny. This sure as hell isn't.

 

 

 

 

 

Weird. It's sort of like two different posts. Maybe it should have two different titles?

Nah. I'm too lazy for that.

RPGrinders Review #96 - The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II

I review the PS4 and 5 versions of this fun sequel to Daybreak!

RPGrinders EP 814 - Old School Free For All!

This week we determine we don't have time to do our awesome game night so we decide to conclude the story next week!  A short news cycle makes for a brisk show as we have a free for all for the first time in a long while!  If you want to know what we talked about well you know what to do!  We are live the first 3 Fridays every month 7EST!  Thanks for listening!

RPGrinders Ep 813 - Rolling the Dice... IN SPAAACE!

In this space filled adventure of RPGrinders, the crew gets through some light news, mostly to make up for that way-too-long rathole free-for-all derailment. Highlights include dates for Tribe Nine, Elden Ring: Nightreign, and the Lies of P dlc. Afterward, Frank has reviews for Death Passage,  Mosquito, and The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. Stinkos abound as everyone talks about the further destruction of society by the fascist goverment. At least Frank has a notable Sweeto to counterbalance some of the bs. But after all of that, Break finally regales us all with the newest season of Game Night. and this time it's.. IN SPAACE!

Be sure to tune in live for real-time dice rolls and fails, Fridays at 7 PM EST via Twitch/Youtube!  

 

RPGrinders Ep 812 - The Supreme Joke

What's Red, White, and Black & Blue? Don't answer that. Who's still butt hurt over the election? Don't judge me! Who's afraid we are watching the fall of our democratic republic? Don't know yet. Who's back to complain about the government, bad video games, and stupid people? Don't have to guess because the Grinders are back with the first episode of February.

With the cold weather and rise of fascism now is a perfect time to game. It might not seem like it, but we all need to take time and unwind. Mental health is important. It will be more important than ever with the struggles to come. A good distraction may be Code Reactors or maybe Cabernet which will both be releasing before the end of the month. The country might not be getting better, but the weather will be as we head into Spring. With Spring we will also see the releases of Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade and Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3. 

The first Stinko goes to Break Man who promises not to talk too much about politics. If this post is not evidence enough, he is STILL complaining about politics. To be fair, everyone should be concerned about the horrible things occurring within the American government. Those aren't the only Stinkos as America has also been dealing with tragic plane crashes. RIP to all those people who lost their lives in those tragic accidents, a popular voice actor, and the president of NIS. 

Did we mention that there was also a National Squirrel Appreciation Day. Do not be fooled by the squirrels. They can't be trusted. They are probably on our government's payroll.

The last Stinko goes to Break Man for using up all the show time complaining about President Musk, First Lady Donald Trump, and their little dog JD Vance. The NAZI wannabes ruined Game Night but it will be back! 

It hasn't even been a month, and the chaos has only begun. Now, more than ever it is time for the American people to stop fighting over petty disagreements before we lose this country and all of our freedoms. While we resist it's important to find time to relax our minds, and what better way is than to listen to a new episode of RPGrinders. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alternative episode titles:

         Don't Be a Kittie. 

         He Kittied it Up. 

          We Did NAZI That Coming... oh Wait. Yes, We Did.

          Let's Go For it. (Honestly, why did I even write this one down?)

 

RPGrinders Ep 811 - One Nintendo Switch to Rule Them All

How many Grinders does it take to post a show? Shut up! I blame our government. Its okay though because they can't hold us down forever! We might be late posting episode 811 but we hope it was worth the wait.

What happened on episode 811? Hell if I know. That was like weeks ago. Frank, Eric, and Break did a podcast. There was news, reviews, stinkos, and more. 

Seriously, you need more specifics? I told you I don't remember! Stuff happened. There was a beginning, a middle, and an end. The End! 

Ugh. Okay! We reviewed Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and Castlevania: Nocturne. Happy now?

No? Damn you! Ok fine. The Grinders also talk about their first console and Frank has some hot takes on guns. The Switch 2 was announced, and the American government has fully embraced the Dark Side. Tik Tok gets a reprieve while America falls to fascism. 

Now am I done? No? I don't care! Just download the episode and deal with it. I promise I'm not cranky. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously, I'm not.

 

 

 

 

 

Come to think of it... I have laundry to do. Now I'm cranky!
