RPGrinders EP 805 - Frank Makes America Great Again
Monday Nov 25, 2024
Monday Nov 25, 2024
Eff Trump! Oops, I meant welcome to another new episode of #RPGrinders. The last episode before the Holiday season shifts into high gear. Soon kids can look forward to a fat man in a red suit giving them presents, while the parents dread the fat man with a red tie stealing their kid's futures. Eff Trump. Since we are supposed to be nice during the holiday season, I (Break Man) will try (pinky swear) to behave myself.
Eff Trump. Hopefully, Krampus will. But for all the good children of the world, Santa may drop off something special like one of these November releases. Alaloth Champions Four Kingdoms and Heaven Burns Red have already been released but Riviera the Promised Land Remastered will be out before the end of the month.
Eff Trump and the MAGA family members we will be forced to deal with over the holidays. I hope they all get stockings full of coal just like the rest of the cabinet pics that made the Stinkos. It's painfully obvious that I am still very bitter about the election. Eff Trump but he is far from the only usual suspect in the Stinko line-up as the police make the Naughty list again. Worst of all, poor Bernie got hurt at work. Eff Trump but get better soon Bernie!
Eff Trump. It's not his turn to do the Driver's Seat and it never will be! Just like the Nice List, it's something Trump will never see. It's my turn and I have a couple of revealing questions to ask our hosts. Do Frank, Eric, and myself have any special talents and what are our favorite foods? The Grinders might not be able to deliver billions of presents globally in under 6 hours but they do have some unique abilities. The Grinders aren't able to live on a diet of cookies and milk or Big Macs so what do they eat, and the most important question of all, what is their favorite pizza?!
Eff Trump and the police. Rocks and coal for every holiday unless they get visited by three ghosts and grow hearts 3 times their normal sizes. Until Santa Claus himself announces that Trump and the police are off the Naughty List. Then and only then will I want Krampus stop pooping on their doorsteps on Christmas Eve.
Eff Trump but Happy Holidays everyone! I know it's just beginning but why wait for the end to wish everyone well. Except Trump. Eff Trump.
I hope "Eff Trump" doesn't get me in trouble. I was also thinking about:
%#$% Trump, screw Trump, and poop sandwich.

RPGrinders EP 802 - The End of Game Night (but not the end because it will be back)
Saturday Oct 19, 2024
Saturday Oct 19, 2024
The nights are getting longer. The days are getting colder. A feeling of impending doom is in the air. The end must be nigh! The last episode of RPGrinders? Hell no! The final episode of Game Night! The Grinders won't be slowed by the changing of the seasons. We won't be stopped by the things that go bump in the night!
Game Night might be coming to an end but the Grinders still have work to do! Darker nights and less dice rolls but plenty of news, reviews, and Stinkoes. News like the release date for Trails Through Daybreak II, a new release date for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and new DLC announced for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.
The longer, darker nights and the lack of Game Night are a perfect excuse to check out the RPGrinders movie recommendations. For the spookiest of seasons, the Terrifier series is back with it's 3rd entry. For something less scary, Eric also has a review of My Hero Academia: You're Next!
The spooky season only lasts a month but the Stinko season goes year-round! As usual, Trump and politics rear their ugly heads. Discrimination against LGBTQ people, especially trans youth is still on the rise. Taco Bell has decided that they hate their customer base. And Toyota has decided that they hate their employees.
And I say again, the end is NIGH! The final episode of Game Night! The band of 6 heroes have braved shitty towns, dark forests, a lack of restroom access, and a Rat that won't shut the fuck up. They came out victorious against angry squirrels, wild wabbits, naked rednecks, and a monster that totally wasn't Godzilla. Now the party of heroes will their final challenge. On the top floor of the Tower of Frank they face off against the Slime Wizard. If they can defeat him, it will forever change the World of Frank.
With no more Game Night to occupy these long, dark nights. The only thing left to do will be to prepare yourself for the things that go bump in the night. Load up on garlic. Bless the holy water. Load your silver bullets. And practice your whip skills. Game Night will be back next year. If you want to play, you will first have to survive the long, cold nights.
Usually, I dress in my Darth Vader costume. This year I was thinking about wearing something sexier. A Sexy Vader costume? Vader with eye makeup and skinny jeans?

RPGrinders EP 801 - So Much Trimming
Thursday Oct 17, 2024
Thursday Oct 17, 2024
It's finally time to get ready for hopefully the next 800 episodes of RPGrinders started with the 801st. There is a very brief bit of news before the crew gets into its Stinkos. Frank's stinko is all the trimming he has to do, which means Eric has to once again upload the show, as Break fights off the sickness. Sweetos are really in the cards this week, but at least episode 8 of Game Night commences, even as Break battles some bug. If you want to hear the hilarity live, be sure to check out the show live on Twitch(when it's working again), or Youtube. Fridays at 7 PM EST is the when!

RPGrinders EP 800 - The Big 800
Friday Oct 11, 2024
Friday Oct 11, 2024
It's been like 17 years in the making, but the show has finally made it to episode 800! And there is no better way to conduct the show other than to be either drunk or high. Despite the fact that Break shows up a bit late, Frank and Eric get through most of the news. The most exciting announcement being that the Lunar remakes from the Playstation era are finally getting a remaster. After the news and talking about what we've been up to, there's a bunch of Stinkos to go around. At least the best Sweeto being that Alex Jones finally has to pay for his crimes makes up for all the talent that passed away recently. And finally, Game Night returns. How will the heroes deal with the nasty denizens of Frank World this time? Drunk that's how? At least Eric was, even if they passed out near the end! Be sure to catch the other parts of nonsense live at Twitch/Youtube, on Fridays at 7 PM EST!
