RPGrinders EP 654 - Frank Helps the Homeless

The Grinders are back with a short but lightning quick episode! Frank's in a hurry so there is no messing around.....almost no messing around.....okay, fine. A lot of messing around but none of it slows down this episode. So its time to sit down and buckle up. You are in for a ride! 

There wasn't a lot of news but there were some end of Summer release dates. Dark Siders 3, The Magister, and Eastward are all coming to the Switch in September. If you don't want to wait until September, Garden Story is out now for the Switch. 

This weeks Stinkos see doom and gloom for the future of humanity. Can we survive the human stupidity that allows COVID-19 to flourish? Will the Earth or its creatures survive the environmental destruction caused by greed? Has the Cult45 virus spread outside of America?

It's been a bad week for the MAGA crowd, which means its been a Sweeto for the rest of us. Anti-vaxxing politicians find their selves suspended from social media, a fake news network gets busted for using fake experts, a pillow guy has a very bad week, and Q fails Cult45.

The Gameboy tournament is heating up. Only 32 games are left fighting for their survival. Can Wario survive against the Tetris juggernaut and a bounty hunting badass? Will Christopher Belmont be able to save his son and defeat Red Falcon? Does the Blue Bomber have the power to beat the Stardroids, Dr. Wily, and moles? Can Dr. Mario cure the Wind Fish of insomnia? 

Frank spent his day helping out people that have no means to help their selves. He encourages us all to help, in any way we can. The richest country in the world, has no excuse for forcing some of it's citizens to live on the streets! We might not be able to fix our government but we are able to help our fellow human beings.

RPGrinders EP 652 - The Greatest Gameshow of All Time!

In this episode of RPGrinders, after getting through a slightly brisk news segment, We get a new Dear Break Man. Afterward, Eric has reviews for Space Jam: A New Legacy and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. There also is quite of bit of stinkos for the game industry and politicians as well. Even hardware gets the stink eye! After that, we finally conclude the tournament for the Greatest Gameshow of All Time! Be sure to listen live on Fridays from 7 PM-9 PM EST on Twitch and Youtube! 

RPGinders EP 651 - One Man Band Break Man

The RPGrinders are back with a very special episode. For the first time ever, the Grinders skip the news! The rest of the show is the same. There are plenty of Stinkos and reviews, just with less news.

Without the news the Grinders start the show off with deals. Both Playstation and Xbox are having their big summer sales. Don't forget to check out the E-shop as they have been offering some good deals, as of late.

Dear BreakMan is back. Today we learn how get rid of unwelcome co-workers. These are the space invaders of the worst kind, the personal space invaders! Don't worry, even personal space invaders are no match for the ultimate wisdom of the RPGrinders!

Without the news, the Grinders have plenty of time for reviews. Five reviews of anime, horror, Marvel and more. Is the long overdue Black Widow worth the wait? He-Man has finally come back but does Eric think it was worth the wait?

It may be a shorter episode but there is no shortage of Stinkos. Break is mad about COVID and the broken dryer that broke his wallet. Frank is burning up on the inside and outside, as he battles a summer cold and a broken AC. Eric takes the Olympics and the state of Mississippi to task. Even though it's Eric's Stinko, the Grinders all agree that the war on women must end!

To end the show on a much happier note, the Grinders enter round two of the Greatest Gameshow of All Time tournament! There are only 16 shows left and they are all good. No whammy, no whammy, no Super Market Sweep? Can the new comer The Floor is Lava compete with the legendary Jeopardy? Will Let's Make A deal make it to the next round or will it get the Gong? Will Remote control be another slime covered victim of the Obstacle Course? Can the Newlywed game survive against 9 B list celebrities, wielding the power of Xs and Os? Who Wants to be a Millionaire or do they prefer winning thousands on the Pyramid? Is the Dating Game a match for Pat, Vanna, and their amazing wheel? And finally, it's double the Drew Carey as the host of the Price is Right battles one of his other shows, Who's Line is it Anyway.

Where like does he like find those wonderful like toys?

RPGrinders EP 650- Poop, I Gotta Poop!

This shortened ep of RPGrinders sees Break Man sabotaged by Skype, the news is scant, Frank pulls a trifecta in Reviews, and all of this adds up to one of the shortest RPGrinders in recorded history!  What sabotaged the show? You know you want to know.... and there's only one thing you can do to remedy that!  Thanks for listening!  Follow the show on Twitter @RPGrinders and send us questions!  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders chat is a ton of fun!

RPGrinders 649 - Weapons of Mammary Destruction

In this crazy episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through a bit of news, before diving into their usual stinkos and sweetos. Eric has a review of Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul, and Frank has a review of Pay the Ghost. Afterwards, the stinkos include politicians, Audacity, angry mobs, and the heat. But things go wild once the new tourney to determine the greatest game show of all time kicks off! be sure to watch live weekly on Fridays at 7 PM EST on Twitch and Youtube!

 

RPGinders EP 648 - Shut Up, Asshole!

The RPGrinders are back and ready to fight! On the episode Frank battles the heat, Break fights Skype, and Eric is ready to beat up Break.

To get it all started, the Grinders bring the latest in JRPG news. This time the news cycle is heavily dominated by Square Enix (Squenix). Two new Mana games are coming to mobile and Legend of Mana is getting a worldwide anime release. Squenix also showed new images and revealed the prices of the first 3 Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters. The Grinders aren't happy with the pricing but what do you think?

Dear Break Man makes a return and with multiple questions! So much advice, in so little time. This time we have some advice for dealing with squirrels and we find out more about Frank's past.

It wouldn't be RPGrinders without Stinkos. Break is pretty upset about the prison release of the rapist once known as "America's Dad"but no one is as hot under the collar as Frank because his AC has broken.

It might not cool off Frank but the Grinders have some nice Sweetos to put a chill on the Stinkos. Break reads excerpts from a riverfronttimes.com article written by Daniel Hill and Frank celebrates the loot received for Frank Day.

With one week left before the Tournament of Greatness returns, the Grinders finish up the Free For All with a discussion about Itch.io. Apple's war with Epic has resulted in Itch.io in the crosshairs. As a result, the LGBTQ games are being lumped in with the "unspeakable" games. Once again, the LGBTQ community is being punished for no other reason than existing.

RPGrinders Review #5 - Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World

I review Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World for the Switch, with mention of the (included with the retail version) original game. Also, I forgot the score for the game, so it's a solid 8 out of 10.

RPGrinders EP 647- Frank's Berfday Bash Extravaganza!

In this episode, Break conspires to miss the news, Frank reviews Batman Long Halloween Part 1 and Nobody, Break once again highlight's even more mass shootings (one a day on average now), Eric takes us a video gaming journey (he ALWAYS plays the most games!), Frank turns 21 (again for the umpteenth time), and finally Derek Chauvin gets 22.5 years for murdering George Floyd.  Was that enough?  Find out in this jam packed episode!  Follow us on Twitter @RPGrinders and send us questions!  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders the chat is a ton of fun!
