RPGrinders EP 791 - The Break and Eric Show Part 3
Friday Jul 12, 2024
Friday Jul 12, 2024
The show this week is more of another newsreel installment, as Frank is busy on assignment. But at least this time Eric is joined by Break. Eric also reviews Sand Land(the game) and the remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Eric also apologizes for his low audio, since they didn't realize until about halfway that their mic had fallen on the floor. But with that out of the way, Break also has a review of the first few seasons of Harley Quinn. Both Eric and Breqak have some Stinkos and talk about how lame Biden is and how dire the choices we have are, as well as words for people that vote-shame others. At least the Sweetos wash away the stink a little. The two also save Game Night for the next show, and Eric has their turn at the new round of the Panic Zone a bit earlier than expected. Be sure to tune in live next time for the conclusion of this exciting season of Game Night Friday at 7 PM EST on Twitch/youtube!

RPGrinders EP 790 - Game Night: Episode 5 - The Return of the Return to Frank World
Wednesday Jun 26, 2024
Wednesday Jun 26, 2024
Pride month has been a wild one for the RPGrinders. Eric has been forced to do the news by himself. Break has been going broke at Pride festivals. Frank had such a bad day that we were forced to cancel one night! With so much going on will the Grinders have enough time to finish Game Night?
Normally, the show would start with the news but Eric did the hard work of recording all of the news in a separate mini episode. Without news the Grinders skip ahead.
With a two-week break the Grinders have plenty of reviews. Eric reviews a classic 80s trilogy that made a crazy man into a Hollywood icon. The review of the post-apocalyptic Mad Max trilogy leads into the newest movie in the franchise, Furiosa. Eric also gives his review of the first season of Delicious in Dungeon. Break and Frank also have reviews but Eric is obviously the star of this segment!
Next up is the Stinkos, and Break's attempts at dragging the show on forever with a laundry list of complaints. A corrupt Supreme Court, dirty Ohio politicians, the death of arguably the greatest baseball player to ever live and a Hollywood legend, are only a handful of his complaints. Does he ever have anything good to say?
Yes, he does! And that is they the Sweetos come next! Break enjoys a far-Right political group sticking it to Trump. Booing Trump should be a National Pastime. Frank enjoys the spoils of a brand-new washing machine and by spoils, I mean clean clothes. Eric isn't to be left out as the Nintendo Direct was able to meet his high standards.
With no episode on the last Friday in June, will the Grinders be able to complete game night in this episode? The heroes start the current adventure with a choice before them. A Forest, a Dungeon, and a Field were all challenges that need to be defeated before they complete the magic scroll, defeat the evil squirrel wizard, Cutie Pie, and escape his curse. So far, the heroes have defeated the Dungeon but not in time to rescue their uber-hot friends.
Now only two areas remained. Which would the party choose first: A Rabbit infested Field or a cursed Forest? Either choice will be dangerous. The Forest is currently run by one of the many families of the Rabbit mafia, the Cottontail family. The Forest may even be more dangerous as its list of enemies is more diverse and hungrier.
Will our heroes survive? Will they be able to beat Game Night in one night? Will Eric and Frank finally get fed up with Break's ludicrous story telling? Can the chatters trust Frank to roll a 20? Can this clusterfuck of a game actually entertain?
*fingers crossed*
And yes. That is the voice of God. Now GET! GET ON OUTTA 'ERE!
HAPPY PRIDE!

Friday Jun 21, 2024
Friday Jun 21, 2024
Because last week had problems, Eric delivers the news from the past week and this week to skip the slog that is the usual news segment so we can concentrate on getting in the reviews, Sweetos and Stinkos before jumping into the extended Game Night Session. I hope you enjoy!

RPGrinders EP 788 - Gushing over Girlfriends
Friday Jun 07, 2024
Friday Jun 07, 2024
in this episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets a decent amount of news, with the biggest highlight being the two Quintessential Quintuplets visual novels getting announced for localization without warning. Afterward, Eric has reviews for Gushing Over Magical Girls, Girlfriend Girlfriend, Call of the Night and he and Break have a shared review of X-Men '97. For Stinkos, Eric has issues with each major platform holder, and Frank has plant issues. At least for Sweetos ear aches are not a problem for anyone! And for the Free for All, Break asks the other crew members what they think of cops. Be sure to tune in live during June for the next season of Break's D and D-esque segment of silliness, Fridays on Twitch/Youtube at 7 PM EST!

RPGrinders EP 787 - The Gentleman Pervert
Thursday May 16, 2024
Thursday May 16, 2024
Frank, this one is for you...
A wise one once said that great things come in threes, at least I think that is what they said. We do have plenty of evidence to prove it; the Nasty Boys couldn't be hit, the Fat Boys could always drop a beat, the Police are one of the best selling bands of all time, and the RPGrinders are the greatest trio of video game/skeptic podcasters!
Like a Message in a Bottle a new wave of news has more than one story to tell. At least, no one will have to wait as long for these upcoming releases than for a bottle to float across the ocean. Rocket Knight Adventures Re-Sparked will be releasing in June, while Gundam Breakers 4 gets an August release, and Reynatis arrives just in time for Fall.
Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland were a band with an unfortunate name. As there is no group that has featured in the Stinkos more prominently than the actual police! Can the cops even go a week without murdering an innocent civilian? I don't know but I bet the Police would make better law enforcement.
The Driver's Seat is back and this time Frank is at the wheel and a fully loaded trunk. The police (not the Police) and A.I. way heavily on Frank's mind. We already know we can't trust the police (you can probably trust the Police) but can we trust A.I.? Is Every Breath You Take being watched by the machines? Will the computer overlords deem humanity a threat? Will A.I. attack humanity and can humanity survive the Fall Out? Is A.I. as big a threat as Frank believes? Or are Break and Eric right to be excited for a future living side by side a brand-new life form and friend?
I want to wish a special thank you to the Police. I mean this from the bottom of my heart: please don't sue me. I also want to apologize to Frank because I couldn't figure out how to work Roxanne into this in any other way than this. The same for Every Little Thing She Does is Magic, but I worked this song in for me.
Every little thing she does is magic.
Everything she do just turns me on.
Even though my life before was tragic.
Now I know my love for her goes on.
The Gentleman Pervert says please before he flashes strangers.
The Gentleman Pervert always washes his hands before and after groping random women.
The Gentleman Pervert thanks the women after peeping in their windows.
The Gentleman Pervert washes, folds, and returns all of the panties he steals. He even leaves an apology note.
