In this breezy ep of the Grinders, the guys blast through a few news stories, Break's Stinkos include ICE ramping up their nonsense, Frank reviews Predator Badlands and Stranger Things S5 (spoiler free) and brings up some of all time fav anime series and movies!   Join us LIVE first 3 Fridays of the month http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders or search Mexican Long Hair on YouTube 7EST!  Thanks for listening!

After several weeks of malaise, the crew finally pulls itself together to start off the year with more nonsense! The news largely consists of digital game soundtrack releases, patches and another anime turned videogame. For reviews Frank reviews Marshmallow, Break reviews Aztec Batman, and Eric reviews Wake Up, Dead Man, and also previews the Dragon Quest VII Reimagined demos. For Stinkos, the usual crap being done by the Fascist Party and thier minions, ICE(fuck ICE btw). At least it's the first show of the year! Then we have a Free for All before cycling back to Driver's Seat next month. To catch all of the shenanigans live, be sure to tune in Fridays at 7 PM on Twitch(RPgrinders) or Youtube(MexicanLongHair)!   

I reviewed the Switch 2 port of the late 2024 remake of Persona 3!

I reviewed the Switch and Switch 2 versions of this great follow-up to Super Giant Game's previous hit!

I reviewed the Switch version of this long lost and previously unreleased GBA sequel to the Gameboy Color Shantae!

Happy Christmas and Merry Holidays to all! It's the 2025 season finale of RPGrinders and it is one of the best of the year! Don't worry, because we will be back in 2026. Until then, enjoy this last episode of the latest news, reviews, and some special surprises. (That aren't actually surprises because we already said we would do them!)

With only a week left in this weak ass year, there are no new releases to announce. That's okay because 2026 will soon be here and with it, new games a plenty. The next few months alone will see the releases of Escape From Ever After, Ariana and the Elder Codex, and MegaMan Starforce Legacy Collection. Enough games to keep us all occupied through the long winter months.

In the holiday spirit of "scary ghost stories," Frank reviews one of most popular horror franchises of all time. I won't spoil the surprise, but I will say that Santa Claus isn't the only thing keeping children up late at night. 

Every year, the Grinders give our top pics in RPG gaming. Even a crappy year like 2025 has had some fantastic releases. For the first time ever, the Grinders all choose a game from one certain franchise. Retro games remade for the modern error without losing the charm of the originals. What were once just 2D pixels are now rich 3D worlds to explore. Stagnant enemies are now in full motion and looking far better than ever. What are those games? I won't spoil the holiday fun! Go sit on Santa's lap, maybe he'll tell you. 

Santa Claus has a Naughty List of all the children who misbehave; however, it pales in comparison to the RPGrinders weekly 2025 Stinkos. Genocidal mad men are murdering innocent fishermen and trying to start wars. Racist losers are kidnapping and disappearing innocent people off the streets. Government agencies protecting wealthy pedophiles. Government agencies weaponizing our courts against their political enemies. All of those and a country that loves its guns more than its children. Maybe this whole country should be on his Naughty List. 

With so many reasons to be exhausted, like the holidays and fascism, we all need a release. What better way to bring people together for fun than gaming? This episode is the finale episode of the RPGrinders version of gaming fun, Game Night! After 2 weeks of wrestling entertainment, the Grinders finally determine the winner of our final game of 2025. Will it be Frank's wicked El Chaupacabra? Or maybe Break's grunty Beast? What about Eric's badass Johnny 5 Bigelow? Or could it be one of the chatter's wrestlers who cleaned house and took home the championship belt?? No hints and Santa can't help you this time!

With that, the Grinders give a Merry Middle Finger to 2025 and wish nothing but the best to all our friends, family, and listeners. May whichever holiday you celebrate be filled with love and joy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only thing that kinda sucks about Game Night is that I write a bunch of stuff that never even gets used. It took me a couple hours to write the *redacted* ending but no one will hear its glory! lol Oh well, as long as I am still having fun, I see no real need to complain! 

 

This episode Break and Eric are excited for the new mega man game (coming in two years), Break brings up more government corruption in his stinkos, Frank is unenthused by what either party has to offer, and finally the Wresting RPG games tournament continues!  Join us the first 3 Fridays of the month 7EST on http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders or the Mexican Long Hair Youtube channel or the RPGrinders Youtube Channel!  Thanks for listening!
