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. And in a thankful break from tourneys, we have a Free for All. Be sure to stay safe, and if you want to listen live, tune in Fridays at 7PM EST on Twitch/Youtube!

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.

RPGrinders Review #18 - Clockwork Aquario

A long lost arcade game was finished and ported to Switch and PS4, and I reviewed the Switch version!

Score: 7/10

RPGrinders EP 670 - The Busta that Saved Christmas

In this episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through a short news segment due to the year closing. But the reviews are packed this week, as Eric reviews Masters of the Universe and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Yes, there are two shows with similar names, but couldn't be more different. Frank reviews They Live's 4K Blu-ray release. The 80's never left. Afterward we have the usual stinkos, and some sweetos to take the edge off the former. Then afterward round two of the Best Funniest Christmas Song of All Time goes underway. Will Secret Santa be the dark horse? Only you can find out by live, and preferably live on Twitch and Youtube, Fridays at 7PM EST!

RPGinders EP 669 - Shitters Full. Merry Christmas!

It took six hundred sixty-nine episodes but Break has finally realized his dreams of grandeur! He has ascended the throne and gained the power of Exile. With his new power, there must come responsibility. As such, Break was able to make it through an episode ending in 69, without making another lame sex joke or singing a lyric from a song by Joe. 

Even though he isn't able to host. Frank is still ever present. Maybe it's just his excuse to not do the news? Maybe he didn't feel like talking about the upcoming Kingdoms of Amalur DLC? I guess he didn't want to talk about the release of the new action RPG Grim Dawn. 

The Stinkos take an unusual turn, as Break is the only one with complaints. As usual, his complaints tend to be towards the government and gun violence. Frank's Sweeto put him in such a good mood, he was left with no complaints. When a wrongfully accused friend is exonerated, how can you not be excited?

With a new month comes a new tournament. This time the Grinders attempt to decide the All-Time Funniest Christmas Song! Since the rest of the show was shorter than usual, Frank has enough time to give us some musical samples. Songs about a snowman with a small penis, Santa Claus going on violent killing sprees, dogs flying planes, singing poop, cars that aren't street legal, rodents that sing, and many more Holiday songs of cheer!

 

Happy Holidays, Boils and Ghouls!

 

 

 

PS, I totally stole the title from a chatter.

RPGrinders EP 668-Black Friday Idiots

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!

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!
