RPGinders EP 639 - MXT's Prison of Love

The RPGrinders are back with another episode of video games news, movie reviews, terrible Stinkos, refreshing Sweetos, and the finale of our April tournament. This episode promises a lot of laughs but, be warned, there are some tears. 

The news is short and sweet. Summer release dates for Ys IX, the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, Empire of Angels 4, and Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis will keep you out of heat.

If you don't feel like gaming, maybe you are in the mood for movies. Frank and Break disagree on the Netflix exclusive Thunder Force. They might disagree on the rating but no one can disagree with the power of Jason Bateman's mullet! Also, Eric reviews the latest Mortal Kombat movie. Can it overcome the incredibly low bar set by Annihilation?

These Stinkos come with an emotional warning. Everyone, please let Frank know that we love him. He can use our support through the trying times. Besides the sad news the Grinders also rail against the usual evils of the world: police, politicians, violence, and murder. 

This episode isn't all sad though, as the Grinders celebrate the verdict in the Chauvin murder trial. The police aren't above the law. We just hope this leads to real change.

Today is the day we finally answer the question that has confounded experts for a millennium: Who is the Greatest Video Game Icon of All Time? We are down to the great eight but there can be only one! Can an electrical mouse shock the competition? Will Mario put his size 12 Kuribo shoe on the throat of his enemies? Will the "last man standing" be a swashbuckling woman? Ryu rules the arcade, can he rule the tournament? Can Break rig the competition to give Mega Man the win? Is Sonic's speed good enough to win? Will the legendary Belmont clan stand triumphant? Or is Link the true legend?

 

 

Better in blue: Sonic or Mega Man?

RPGrinders EP 637 - Big Monkey Madness

In this episode of RPGrinders the crew gets through a nice chunk of news, then weighs in on Godzilla vs. Kong, this time with spoilers. There's also a Dear Break Man, which is sure to be of help to some. The Stinkos are in full force this week, as we also get the bad news about DMX(RIP). But after all that, we finally move on to round 2 of the best gaming Icon of all time! Be sure to tune in live on Fridays at 7-9PM EST on Twitch/Youtube!

RPGrinders EP 636 - The Mario Massacre of 2021

April is finally here. Spring has finally arrived and the RPGrinders are back for another crazy episode. This time the Grinders start a new tournament, review giant lizard movies, Catboys in paradise, not one but two Dear Break Man questions, and technical difficulties!

The technical difficulties start right away but they wont slow down the news! They wont slow the release of Elder Scrolls Online for the current generation. The difficulties wont stop the Oddworld Collection from releasing on May 27th. Even though it was once an April Fools Joke, Nekopara: Catboys Paradise wont be delayed when it releases later this year.

Dear BreakMan answers two questions from our friend @freak5chaos including one that needs immediate attention. If you need the best advice known to humanity, just send your question to @RPGrinders.

Eric gives a quick non-spoiler review of Godzilla vs Kong. Does the hairy ape have a chance against mean green or will he be forced to bow before the true king of all monsters? 

The start of a new month brings a new tournament. This time the Grinders will determine the Greatest Gaming Icon of All Time! Will it be one of the Mario brothers? Will Scorpion be able to finish the competition? Maybe a villain like Dr.Wily or Bowser might can finally win? Or maybe a woman like Peach or Samus will be triumphant?

 

Break Man? More like WRONG_MAN!

 

RPGrinders EP 635 - Beta Maxxed

This episode we determine the greatest Genesis game of all time!  Also, Frank reviews Mom and Dad, Spontaneous, and Maquette.  Todays stinkos include games causing epileptic seizures, an idiot in Boulder Colorado kills 10 people, and voting rights being destroyed in Georgia.  In chat MXT wants Frank to open up a Blockbuster chain to rent VHS tapes, Dungeonbuster is a ninja, Freak talks buttholes, and Weiland wows us with his steelbook collection!  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders or search RPGrinders on Youtube!  Follow us on Twitter @RPGrinders and ask us anything!  Thanks for listening

RPGrinders EP 634 - Chakan Finally Falls

How that game made it as far as it did is a criminal offense. But in this triumphant episode, the crew gets through a decent chunk of news, followed by a Dear Breakman segment. Then there are two reviews from Eric about the Tom and Jerry Movie, and a joint review of Batman Versus Superman Ultimate Edition with Breakman. Frank reviews Slaxx, and has some impressions of Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Afterward, we get into our lengthy Stinkos and Sweetos segment. Of course the Genesis/Megdrive tourney continues, and a much-reviled game or two fall off the running for the top spot. Justice is served! Be sure to listen live on Fridays at 7PM EST on Twitch/Youtube!
