Score for this release: 9/10

 

Getting old really does suck!  The guys have a really good discussion based on BreakMan's question for Drivers Seat, The news is short and sweet, Eric brings us sad news in his Stinko's for Shutaro Iida, and Frank sees the end of his gaming "career" in his sights......      Join us LIVE first 3 Fridays of the month twitch.tv/rpgrinders  or search YouTube:  Mexican Long Hair OR RPGrinders!!   Thanks for listening!

in this new filled episode of RPGrinders, the crew has a lot of news no thanks to a State of Play, the the really important news is that Castlevania is back, baby! Break also has a review of the second season of Fallout. Stinkos are the usual suspects, but at least there are Sweetos to even that out. Frank also has a Driver's seat question for you all that you don't want to miss! Be sure to catch the show live on Fridays on Twitch(RPGrinders) or Youtube(Mexicanlonghair) at 7PM EST! 

Twenty Twenty-Six has only been with us for a month but it has already worn out it's welcome! Military in our streets, internment camps in our cities, an environment that is clearly reaching a tipping point, and a corrupt government run by pedophiles and their protectors. As we watch as our freedoms and rights disappear, take comfort in the fact that the Grinders are still here to spread cheer. It isn't much but we are all in this together. We all have to oppose fascism in our own ways, and deal with our own personal stresses. 

A gaming podcast may not be much, but we can help spread the truth and distract the mind from the horrors of reality. Even as our country is fighting for it's life the gaming industry is still thriving. When the weather starts to improve (hopefully) we will see the protests grow to sizes that force change! Strikes, boycotts, and whatever it takes to bring Freedom for All to every person living in this country.

A long list of news stories as the number of 2026 releases grows. For the Spring, look forward to the releases of Utawarerumono: Past & Present Rediscovered and Dosa Divas. The Summertime also has a couple of new releases, in Another Eden Begins and Kyoto Xanadu. 

With everything going on in America, the Stinkos are growing at an alarming rate. Soon they will need their own show. We are surrounded by so many horrors that it has become impossible for anyone to keep up. America has a corrupt government that is directly responsible for the deaths of millions. A wannabe dictator is changing the rules while no one seems willing to challenge him. The Epstein files continue to be blocked from proper release; the FBI even attempted to hurt the victims. On top of all that, the Grinders say goodbye to an icon. RIP Catherine O'Hare. 

After a January that temporarily derailed the show, the Driver's Seat is back to start us off right. Eric want's to know, what are some bad habits you see from gamers you wish they’d get over? The Grinders give you ours. Send us feedback and let us know yours!

A special shout out to everyone brave enough to fight fascism and doubly for those fighting it in the bitter cold weather! Jack Frost, puppy killers, and White Supremacists won't stop the spirit of the American people! We sure as hell won't submit to people who abuse children!

Join us next week as we dream about Spring and a world without oppression. We love living in a country with such a large diversity of people. We can't let them take away what makes us great, each other. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Sorry, if this seems disjointed but I didn't want to do my usual spin. The shit that is happening in America is far too important for my silliness.)

I feel like I should still say something smartass...

You know who isn't in the Epstein files? US!

In this breezy ep of the Grinders, the guys blast through a few news stories, Break's Stinkos include ICE ramping up their nonsense, Frank reviews Predator Badlands and Stranger Things S5 (spoiler free) and brings up some of all time fav anime series and movies!   Join us LIVE first 3 Fridays of the month http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders or search Mexican Long Hair on YouTube 7EST!  Thanks for listening!

After several weeks of malaise, the crew finally pulls itself together to start off the year with more nonsense! The news largely consists of digital game soundtrack releases, patches and another anime turned videogame. For reviews Frank reviews Marshmallow, Break reviews Aztec Batman, and Eric reviews Wake Up, Dead Man, and also previews the Dragon Quest VII Reimagined demos. For Stinkos, the usual crap being done by the Fascist Party and thier minions, ICE(fuck ICE btw). At least it's the first show of the year! Then we have a Free for All before cycling back to Driver's Seat next month. To catch all of the shenanigans live, be sure to tune in Fridays at 7 PM on Twitch(RPgrinders) or Youtube(MexicanLongHair)!
