On this episode of RPGrinders, the Grinders finally determine the Greatest Horror Movie of All Time. Besides the fictional horror, Frank and Break also have scary news. While Eric laments the passing of a magical legend.
It wouldn't be RPGrinders without some good old JRPG news. For the first time, North America is getting a release of the original 8-bit Fire Emblem. The Switch version of Outer Worlds gets several new updates. Da Capo 4 Fortunate Departures is coming in early 2021. And even though it's not an RPG, R-Type Final 2 is being published in America by NIS.
The RPGrinders don't always talk about gaming but they always find some reason to complain. 2020 has had no shortage of Stinkoes but none more serious than the deadly COVID-19 virus and America's abysmal response. COVID isn't the only thing keeping Frank indoors as the state of Colorado is besieged by a massive wildfire. And Eric has more sad news with the passing of a legendary magician, James Randi.
With so many Stinkoes, it's always good to have hope. Frank and Colorado may be getting the help they need in the form of a snow storm. While not as personal of a Sweeto, Break celebrates the arrest of a domestic terrorist group that was trying to frame Antifa and incite violence between police and protestors.
There can be only one and tonight the Grinders whittle down 8 contestants to finally determine the Greatest Horror Movie of All Time! These movies are so good it was almost impossible to choose. Is Halloween scarier than Scream? Is a massacre in Texas more frightening that the Spanish horror film REC? Is Freddy more evil than the Evil Dead? Can The Thing beat a Kubrick masterpiece? And these are all just the first round!
Without further ado, the Greatest Horror Movie of All Time is:
Yea right! Like I was going to tell. You'll just have to listen

In this ep[isode of RPGrinders the crew gets through some light news, followed by the usual stinkos and sweetos. Break has a review of Super Mario Galaxy 2(where's my Switch port?). Personally, I think it's the better of the two Galaxies, but Break is less keen on it. Afterwards, we dive into the Free for All, with round 2 of the best horror movie of all time. Will Texas Chainsaw Massacre survive? Find out! Also, be sure to check out the show live on Fridays at 7PM EST, on Twitch/Youtube!

On this episode of RPGrinders, a new month brings a new tournament. Since it is October, it's time for Halloween and scares. Frank pits the 64 greatest horror movies against each other, in a life or death struggle to finally determine what is the Greatest Horror Movie ever made! However, they cannot get to the tournament before doing the rest of a packed show.
As usual, the Grinders start with the news. Ocean S Heart has been announced for the PC, the best named game Yakuza: Like A Dragon gets solid release dates, a new tactics based Dragon Quest is coming to mobile, and Gal Gun Returns will be searching for panties on the Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
As always, the Grinders have plenty of reasons to complain. As far as Break is concerned, The Orange Idiot and Traitor is always a Stinko. This time he threatened voters, supported terrorists, and caught COVID-19. The Grinders do not wish death on anyone but that doesn't mean we have to have sympathy for someone that has none.
Break has a great Sweeto. He gives out the Friend Code to his brand new Switch Lite. He likes it so much, no one would be surprised if he spooned with it at night. Frank is also proven right, as Trump's tax forms were leaked and confirm what Frank already knew.
Now it's time for Round 1 of the 64 Greatest Horror Movies of All Time Tournament Bracket. Will the Quiet Place vanquish Amityville Horror, is the Ring scarier than Evil Dead 2, can the Blair Witch Project defeat Friday the 13th, can Silence of the Lambs survive the original torture porn movie Saw? Let us know what you think as these movies and many more compete to be declared the best.
In Kevin Bacon's name I pray. Amen.

This episode of RPGrinders, is so jam packed we could barely fit it all into a two hour podcast. Tons of news, Stinkos, and the Greatest NES Game bracket challenge. Also in the episode, Break answers a great new #DearBreakMan question and the Grinders discuss the absurdity of Gender Reveal Parties.
This episode has a lengthy news section that includes: Immortals Fenyx Rising is coming to consoles and steam in December, a new Pocky & Rocky game is coming in 2021, Code of Princess EX is coming to steam in October, and Disgaea 4 Complete+ is out now on steam and Xbox!
It wouldn't be RPGrinders without Stinkos and there are plenty of reasons to complain. As usual, the Orange Boy plays a big part in pissing off Break. Orange Boy even indirectly pisses off Frank. While Eric is stuck dealing with the death of his router port.
The Greatest NES Game of All Time bracket is starting to get tighter. The Grinders have to choose which 16 games move on to the next round. Can Super Mario Bros 3 beat Mega Man? Is Castlevania better than Contra? Will Mike Tyson's Punch Out get knocked out?
Please let us know what you think. Just tweet us @RPGrinders
Is there a such thing as a Fartriloquist?
