RPGrinders EP 682 - Break Likes the Pointy End

Im this episode of RPGrinders, the crew has a small news segment, but there is a small blast from the Past with the Dungeons and Dragons Gold Box games getting a re-release. And perhaps it maybe should have stayed in the past. Frank also has a review of The Batman and the Bunker. For the Stinkos, we talk about how useless both the police and St. Patrick's day are. At least the Sweetos are about the new Ghosts album and how it's good. For the Free for All, we discuss what games we are looking forward to in the immediate future. Be sure to tune in live for stuff like good deals by listening on Twitch or Youtube, Fridays at 7PM EST!  

RPGinders EP 681 - Break Man the Kink Shamer

It's almost spring and we all know what that means. We have to reset all of our clocks and lose an hour of sleep! We can't give you back your lost hour but we can give you two hours of RPGrinders entertainment! 

If the lost hour isn't enough to make you mad, maybe game delays will. Switch games like Advance Wars 1 & 2 have been indefinitely suspended and Pillars of Eternity Deadfire has been canceled. 

The hour isn't the only thing lost as we address Frank's newest, most diabolical segment yet! It's Time to Die for some older movie and game franchises. Find out what is on the chopping block this week!

The loss of an hour seems small when compared to some of this week's Stinkos. The failures of the Democratic party. War in the Ukraine. Bigoted laws created to destroy women's rights and the rights of the LGBTQ community. 

If you want to lose more than an hour, and escape from reality, Frank has some great recommendations. He has been playing Fenix Rising for a while now and he hopes the rest of us give it a try. If you would prefer to watch a movie, check out the slow-burn horror, The Stylist.  

One less hour means less time to "get good" versus the punishing difficulty of Elden Ring. Was this difficult game poorly marketed? Should gamers know what to expect from the developer? We answer these and many more.

Please let us know what you think. Leave us a message or ask us a question on Twitter. @RPGrinders

RPGrinders EP 680- Duck Butler

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

This episode Eric is on assignment so its up to the dynamic duo of Frank and Break to hold down the fort. The guys talk super bowl, Final Fantasy VI pixel remaster, disappointing movies based on trailers (and vice versa), and much much more in an action packed episode of the Grinders!!  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST here: http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders  Thanks for listening!!!

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!
