This episode we explore the distinctly American tradition of Black Friday.  Ah the smell of blood, sweat, and tears that permeates inside of your local Walmart or other retailer!  The shoving, the cursing, the hand gestures!  So sit back, and try to relax as the people rush to get that 10 dollar toaster that is at the back of the store while you struggle to get to the front of the store to pay for your 20 dollar vacuum that was totally worth it!  Follow us on Twitter @RPGrinders and be sure to join us LIVE every Friday http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders 7EST!  Thanks for listening!

RPGrinders EP 667- Deal or no Guns

In this episode of RPGrinders, the crew get through some light news with a majority being release dates. Afterward, Eric has several reviews for Garden of Words, Venom: There Will be Carnage, The Eternals, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Frank has a review for the films Spore, Prisoners of Ghostland, and Shang-Chi. But it's the Stinkos that form the biggest discussion of the week. Our Justice system and the ability of the jury to reach better verdicts continue to erode daily.  Finally, the crew dives into some early Black Friday deals for all of your cheap ass gamers out there. Be sure to tune into the show live on Fridays at 7PM EST on Twitch/Youtube for more deals among other things!

RPGinders EP 666 - The Devil Made Us Do The Show!

A lot of tears, blood and sweat has been lost in the pursuit of unleashing the Beast! Many sacrifices have been made. The Grinders even offered their souls to Satan. 

It turns out the Grinders have already offered their souls to Lucifer. In fact, they have done it numerous times. So many times that Beelzebub has begged them to stop. His pleas fell on death ear and the Grinders just kept on begging. 

The Dark Prince had finally had enough. He allowed the Grinders to start the End of Days by releasing episode Six Hundred Sixty-Six! 

Prepare your selves mortals. The end is nigh....

MUHAHAHAHAHA

Look on the bright side. Mephistopheles is allowing everyone the privilege of listening to one more episode of RPGrinders. 

With the blessing of Ahriman, the Grinders give this week's news. Gato Studio gives an honest reason for delaying The Waylanders until February. They need more time to work on their game and we appreciate the honesty. It isn't the only game releasing in the Winter of 2022, as Elex II is coming out in March and Labyrinth Legend is releasing in January.

With the permission of Hecate, Frank gives this episodes only review. He recommends that we all see the movie I Saw The Devil.

This week's Stinkos are extra evil as they have been influenced by Moloch. Politics, celebrity deaths, and more. The evil one loves these kind of things.

Pluto's pure evil will not allow Sweetos. The Grinders are left with a dilemma. Do they defy the Dark Lord's wishes or do they do a show without Sweetos?

Yaotzin loves two things. Evil and Thanksgiving dinner. To appease their master, the Grinders finally determine the Greatest Thanksgiving Food Item of All Time! Deviled eggs, turkey breasts, pumpkin pies, and I would go on but I'm starting to drool. 

The Grinders would just like to offer a special thanks to Set. Thank you for allowing us to reach episode 666! We swear to honor you by continuing are evil way.

In this spooky themed episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through a brisk news cycle, which is unfortunately beset with more delay announments.

RPGrinders Review #15 - G-Darius HD

I played the Switch port of this arcade classic shmup!

Again I forgot the score, so it's an 8/10.

Correction: This wasn't G-Savior, although they have similar visual aesthetics. And it was ported to the Playstation.

RPGrinders Review #14 - Gleylancer

I review the Switch port of a classic Japan-only Megadrive shmup!

I forgot the score so it's a 8.5/10

RPGrinders EP 663 - Butter Fondue

When the temperature starts to fall, the screams fill the air, and the blood runs cold we are left with a choice. Do you run, hide, fight, or put on your headphones and listen to a brand new episode of RPGrinders!?

With only two episodes left before Halloween, the most important question of our generation moves another round closer to an answer! What is the best Halloween candy? Only the RPGrinders can answer that question!  

Will M & M's melt to the competition or in your mouth? Can a fruit flavored candy survive against the all mighty Hershey bar? Do you prefer peanut butter cups or do you like your peanuts in Mr.Goodbar? Is the novelty puff of fake candy cigarette smoke a better thing to find in your bag than a Tootsie Roll? Does everything thing I see look like a Tootsie Roll to me?

Halloween candy isn't the only thing on the menu. We can't enjoy the candy dessert until we have a fresh meal of news, reviews, stinkos, and sweetos. 

The news is short this week but full of delays. The current gen versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and the Witcher 3 won't be getting meaningful updates until 2022. Even the Switch is seeing delays, as the Advance Wars remake has been pushed back to the vague window called "Spring". Even the highly anticipated Elden Ring is being pushed back to Feb 2022.

If you are looking for some good anime, listen to Eric's reviews of Future Diary and Erased. Check out his reviews and let us know if you agree.

It wouldn't be an episode of RPGrinders if we didn't have some stinkos. As usual, the American government continues to be a source of Break's frustrations. Eric and Frank mourn the loss of two people within the entertainment industry.  

As bad as things may get, we at least have sweetos to remind us that it isn't all bad. Unless you are the Lt Gov of Texas and you are forced to pay rewards to the people that have proven you wrong. Dan Patrick fucked around and found out. 

Next week we will determine the Greatest Halloween Candy of All Time! We might even have some surprises instore.
