In this episode Break Man makes his triumphant return!  After a bit of news chatter, the guys talk proper use of "rectal use only" stickers, Break reviews Ninja Batman, Eric reviews the Batman, Break Man has a back log of stinkos including Texas, and finally the Grinders debut a brand new segment called "It's Time to Die!".  Find out what it's all about!  Follow us on Twitter @RPGrinders and be sure to catch us LIVE every Friday 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders Thanks for listening!

RPGrinders EP 679 - Break Broken

In this episode of RPGrinders, Eric and Frank have to go it without Break. There's a light news segment, followed by the stinkos and sweetos. Eric has things to say about Texas and Ukraine but wanted to hold back for Break to give some input, with extends into the Free For All. Speaking of that, the tourney continues without Break, with Freak filling in via chat. It's a short show, but then again, we didn't expect a large audience, because most everyone was playing Elden Ring. Be sure to listen live on Twitch/Youtube at 7PM EST on Fridays!

RPGinders EP 678 - Freak News

The RPGrinders are back to full strength, as Eric makes his triumphant return! He couldn't have come back at a better time. Classic game remasters, beer with clam juice, time sensitive demos, Nintendo, a tournament of love, Break's perverted misogyny, and Phil Collins are just some of the things he would have missed. 

This weeks news is mostly good, especially for Cyberpunk 2077 fans. They get a major new update. Fans of the RPG Maker series also get some good news with the promised 2022 release of RPG Maker Unite. It's not all good news, as Nintendo announced they are closing the Wii U and 3DS Eshop in 2023. Even worse, by fall of 2022 you will no longer be able to add funds to the Eshop. 

It wouldn't be Grinders without everyone's favorite segment, the Stinkos. A public school bill in Florida designed to shame the youngest members of the LGBTQ community. Yet another video of the police acting blatantly racist towards young Black men. What will it take for America to finally come to terms with it's systematic racism and it's hatred of the Gay community? It seems like it's getting worse, not better. America is being shackled by it's hatred. 

It's not all bad news, as we also move one round closer to determining the Greatest Couple in Video Game History! Will Mario finally save Peach or will she be kidnapped by the Master Chief and his blue gf? Will Ellie and Reilly's love for one another shine through the Darkness? Can a bounty hunter and a baby (no relation to Din Djarin and Grogu) beat a wizard and an unfaithful Witcher? Will the happily married Nathan and Elena be stronger than the young love of Yuna and Tidus? 

In one week, we will finally know which couple shows the most love. My heart is pounding with anticipation!

RPGrinders EP 677-The One Without Eric

RPGrinders EP 676 - Gaming Couples Rumble

In this episode, there is a supremely short news cycle, and then Frank has a review for Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The Stinkos are full of stuff too, like Konami(among others) getting more entrenched in the NFT scam. Eric prepares to get buried by work, and Texas continued to be let down. At least The Bengals are going to the Super Bowl, Can they win? Finally, the next tourney starts with deciding who will be the greatest gaming couple of all time! WHO DEY! Be sure to check out the show live on Fridays at 7 PM EST on Youtube/Twitch!

RPGinders EP 675 - RPGrinders Condoms

It's the last episode of January 2022. The temperatures are plummeting. The snow is piling up. The football post-season is heating up. The gaming news stories are slowing down. And the Grinders have another episode violated by technical difficulties. 

This week's news is low on quantity but not quality. Death's Gambit: Afterlife DLC is coming in February. The DLC is $7.99 but will be on sale for 35% during the release week. For the people looking to spend less money, the demo of Monark is available. 

Everyone's favorite segment, the Stinkos, take on some hefty issues. Spotify chooses money over human life, as they continue to promote Joe Rogan and his dangerous conspiracy theories. People are losing their lives over those dangerous conspiracy theories. Racism, the climate, and COVID are killing countless numbers of people while Rogan and Hannity lie for financial profits. 

The Free 4 All segment takes on another hefty issue, media bias. Instead of reporting the news, too many organizations add their own personal opinions. Some media members spread lies as facts and opinions and truth. Some add their own personal bias to what they report. Some of them spread dangerous conspiracy theories. Some of them frame their stories around a narrative they want their consumer to believe. Some of them frame their stories to meet a preconceived narrative. Most of them are "reporters" and "journalists" in name only.

The bottom line is that our media belongs to the billionaire class. Their interests are self-serving. It's not about reporting facts. It's about increasing their profits. Self-proclaimed journalists, like Tucker Carlson, are KNOWNINGLY spreading deadly lies for the purpose of increasing their wealth. 

It's not all doom and gloom. We may be a tiny podcast but we do our best to tell the truth. We might be small-time but we know there are many more like us. We all need to use our critical thinking skills to help us see through all the bullshit and lies.

Go watch Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead. I have no idea if the movie is good but the title sure is!

RPGrinders EP 673 - We Are Off To A Good Year

And by good year, that means we ruined it already. In this episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through some light news, and then we go into our usual Stinkos and Stinkos, Frank reviews Spider-Man: No Way Home.

RPGinders EP 672 - Santa Claus Is Watching You (While You Poop)

It's the jam-packed final episode of 2021! It's been a long, tough year but we won't let the dull our hopes for a better 2022. So we have to end this year right! We have to answer the some of the greatest questions known to humankind. Can we make it through the rest of the show or will the anticipation kill us all?!

Even though it's the end of the year, the news refuses to stop. 2022 is looking better with some release date announcements, like: The Pixel Master release of Final Fantasy 6 gets a February release date and some preorder goodies. Weird West gets delayed until March and an honest explanation from the developers. Also releasing in March, is the indy tactical RPG Telepath Tactics Liberated.

We can't have a final episode of RPGrinders without having everyone's favorite segments, Stinkos and Sweetos. Break's love/ hate relationship with Twitter encapsulates both. Frank takes the time to once again address the horrors of homelessness. Frank has been working hard to let the world know and will be releasing his docu-series by the end of the year, on his Mexican Long Hair channel.

Professional game reviewer Eric gives us his take on Keanu Reeves return to the Matrix and jrpg 13 Sentinels.

With all of the less important things out of the way, we finally answer one of humankind's oldest mysteries. The secret truth that has been hidden for generations. What is the Funniest Holiday Song of All Time!? Will the South Park creators be celebrating with us in Hell? Will Jack Black get any of the fucked-up shit he wants? Is the Kinks classic the champion, now and forever? Will the comedy genius of Garfunkle and Oates smoke the competition? Or is smoking the competition the job of the only remaining rapper, Afroman? Can guys dressed-up as mummies, singing about a naughty Santa, outlive them all? Or will the living legend, Weird Al, claim his thrown? These are all great songs and all very deserving but only one can win.

The Funniest song isn't the only important question that needs answer. We also reveal our favorite games of the year. If you want to find out, you will have to listen. 

With so many good-looking games coming in 2022, it's hard not to be excited.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

 

 

 

 

PS. The secret to kidnapping Santa is the kind of bate you use.
