Afterwards, we do our stinkos and sweetos, as per usual. Eric also has his reviews for Steven Universe the movie and  Happy Death Day 2U. Frank has a review of Doom: Annihilation and Creepshow EP 3.

RPGrinders EP 560 - Moral Taints

Frank and Break host tonight's episode without Eric, who is fighting sickness. We hope he gets better soon so he can teach Break a lesson. Until Eric returns, the Grinders will be joined by Break's only friend, the cowbell.

Super Robot War X in the Eastern market, Break Man's bad Australian accent for post-apocalyptic crpg Broken Roads, and the bankruptcy of Alphadream are some of today's short news segment. 

Eric is sick, there is a war on vaping, Bernie Sanders has heart trouble, and Frank goes to war with Progressive insurance. With only two hosts, there are still plenty of Stinkos.

The Stinkos can't over shadow the great Sweeto news that there is a second whistleblower! The Grinders have some very different political views but they all agree that the Criminal and Chief is a danger to the people of America, the country, and the world. The end of his Presidency can not come soon enough.

For this episode's Free For All, Frank and Break discuss their favorite and least favorite seasons. The cold of Winter, Halloween in the Fall, the Summer sun, and Pumpkin Spice seasons.

Let us know what you think or ask us a question. Just tweet @RPGrinders and tag #dearbreakman.

Does Break really believe that pumpkin spice is a government invention to control the minds of the people? Nah....

or does he?!

This episode features a tiny news cycle which gives us plenty of time to talk about impeachment, concerts, shitty publishers, and reviews!  Eric reviews Link's Awakening, Frank reviews The Mummy, Anna, and Creepshow Ep 1, and finally Break Man takes us down the road to impeachment.  What do we think about it?  Find this out and more on this weed happy episode of RPGrinders!  Follow us on Twitter @RPGrinders and ask us questions!  Join us LIVE every Friday 7EST twitch.tv/RPGrinders and on Youtube!  Thanks for listening!

RPGrinders Special - Contra Retrospective #3

Eric and Fanboyaster are back with another Contra retrospective, and this time it's about the latter-day entries. Going from the PS2 games, to a DS sequel and a Wiiware game, the series saw it's end. It's more or less of half n' half in quality, which was indicative of where Konami was in the industry. But fear not listeners, as there is still more Contra waiting for you, with Konami own clones. Stay tuned next time for it!

RPGrinders EP 558 - Break the 'Handy' Man

In this episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through a chunk of news like usual. Afterwards, Eric has a review of Promare, with Frank reviewing X-Men: Dark Pheonix and 3 From Hell. Frank also has a new highscapade with what he calls 'The Ring of Fire'. Then we get into our stinkos, with the highlights being the Area 51 idiots expecting something being there. At least you can get goofs doing the Naruto Run. The Free for All is about whether the crew has had a breaking point with anyone over their life. Also, Break will make you cum, but he doesn't cum cheap.

RPGrinders EP 557 - Batman and Eric

It's Friday the 13th and there is a full moon. Horror is in the air and Frank couldn't be happier. 

After a week of peace and quiet, Frank and Eric are forced to put up with the return of Break Man and his cowbell! But Frank gets the last laugh as he forces Break to read the news and butcher Japanese names. 

It's a short news week, so the Grinders have plenty of time to spend on Bug Fables, Yo Kai Watch 4, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Ring Fit Adventure, Nioh 2, Romancing Saga 3, Star OCean, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, and Umihara Kawase BaZooka.

A Dynamic Duo Highscapade keeps the mood upbeat. Even Stinkoes about Joe Biden, Funimation, and Nicalis can't ruin the show. In fact, Frank is in such a good mood that the Grinders talk about one of his favorite subjects: horror movies. 

Big Money, Big Prizes, I Love It! 

RPGrinders EP 556 - It vs. the Western Samurai

If only.... But in this episode of RPGrinders, Break is on assignment, so it's left to Frank and Eric to do the show this time. While it is much shorter than other episodes, there is plenty of news to share, and Frank and Eric have reviews of It part II and Nioh. Then we get into the usual stinkos and sweetos. Finally, the Free for All is about talking about the idea of a Universal Basic Income.

RPGrinders EP 555- Tattoo Kick

This episode has a healthy slate of rpg news, Eric gets better working conditions and a raise (yay!), Break Man break down the latest in Trump's trade war nonsense, and Frank gets a new car and someone promptly crashes it.  All this and more from you role playing grinders!  Follow us on Twitter @RPGrinders and don't forget to send Break Man your #DearBreakMan questions and we will answer them on the show! Thanks for listening and don't forget to tell your friends about the show, its the only way we will grow!

RPGrinders EP 554 - Microbursts in the Pants

In this episode of RPGrinders, the guys finally answer the most important question in the history of existence: Which Superhero would they want to be in DC and in the MCU?! 

The show starts out with a long JRPG news segment that includes the releases dates of Kingdom Under Fire 2, Final Fantasy 8 Remastered, Dragon Star Varnir, Cat Quest 2, and more. 

Eric reviews the action movie Hobbs and Shaw as well as the horror movie Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

Predictably, the Stinkos are dominated by the Crook and Chief. Frank and Break each have different complaints about the failures of the Oval Office. 

With only one week of unofficial summer left, Frank wants to know what everyone thinks about the end of summer? Are they looking forward to the chill or already missing the burn? 

Shit bursts or bursts of shit? 

RPGrinders Special - Contra Retrospective #2

In this entry to the much smaller Contra Retrospective, Eric and FanboyMaster talk about the two Hard Corps games, as well as the dreaded PS1 entries. Prepare for a world of hurt, as we dive in the dark ages of the Contra franchise, as the PS1 era heralded in the downward spiral for the franchise. Next time, come back for the remaining entries to date, where some light of hope manages to shine through the darkness.
