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

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.

Next time, come back for the remaining entries to date, where some light of hope manages to shine through the darkness.

RPGrinders Special - Contra Retrospective #1

EricRPG is back with another retrospective series, and this time it's Contra! In the light of the release of blazing Chrome and the upcoming Rogue Corps, EricRPG and FanboyMaster101 go over the series of games that are leading to this moment. In this episode, the original arcade game, it's ports, the MSX release, Operation C, and Contra III: The Alien Wars are covered. But so is Contra Force, the least favored one among the first releases. Next time, be sure to tune in for coverage of the Hard Corp games, as well as the maligned PS1 games from Appaloosa, Legacy of War and C: The Contra Adventure!

RPGrinders EP 551 - To Crawl Or Not To Krull

In this episode of RPGrinders, the guys discuss everything from Pirates to Presidents. They even spend some time talking about the Titty Dungeons.

Sony will soon stop repairing PSP-3000's, Outer Worlds is coming to the Switch, and Minoria getting a release date are just some of the many news articles.

Eric gets the honor of doing this episode's only review, the hurricane horror movie Crawl. While Break would prefer they reviewed the fantasy classic, Krull. 

There are some Stinkos outside the world of politics but the Racist and Chief is the primary focus. It's hard to not focus on a man that incites so much violence and hate. How many more videos do we have to see of his supporters attacking non-violent protesters? Between the fear mongering and the death penalty, when will the hatred end?

Returning to happier subjects, Frank gets an awesome Sweeto. The ultimate metal head scored himself tickets to Knotfest 2019. 

Frank's Sweeto leads into the discussion of favorite music genres. The Grinders spend a lot of time talking about some of their favorites, like Jazz, Metal and Classic Rock. The Rolling Stones and Metallica are just a couple of the many bands mentioned. 

Let us know what bands and music genres you like. Just send a tweet to @RPGrinders and let us know what great music we skipped. As well as your #DearBreakMan questions. No question goes unanswered because we will not fail humanity! 

Morals? Where we're going, we don't need morals.
