RPGrinders

And we are finally at the end of the Contra Retrospective! Eric and Fanboymaster talk up the many Contra clones that weren't spawned from Konami, but instead other third parties. There are so many, that we only really cover the most notable ones. Eric also tells you why Contra Rogue Corps is bad, and there is a discussion on Blazing Chrome! That's it for Contra, but keep your eyes open and ears clean, since there will be other retrospectives to look forward to!

Halloween is over but that doesn't mean the Grinders can't continue to celebrate the holiday! Frank, Eric and Break are tasked with making their toughest decision yet; Who is the greatest movie monster?! Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees, Michael Myers, Dracula, the Nun, King Kong, Chucky, and many more compete in the Horror Monster Bracket Challenge 2019! 

The episode's news includes updates for the Surge 2 and Bloodstained, DLC for God Eater 3, and a Nioh 2 beta.

Eric reviews Mobile Suit Gundam: the Origin, One Piece: Stampede, Halloween, Gears of War 4 & 5, and Dragon Ball Super. While Frank reviews the latest episode of Creepshow. 

The Horror Monster Bracket Challenge 2019 is so big that this is the longest episode in RPGrinders history! The winner is a huge upset and we want to know what our listeners think. What monsters should have won and who should have lost? 

Invisible Man sleeping in your bed. Who ya gonna call? The Puppet Master!

In this short news episode of RPGrinders, there's not a whole lot of news, so we get almost right into our interview with Drop Bear Bytes to talk about thier upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG, Broken Roads. 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. Finally we close the show with the Free for All being about what our favorite Modern RPGs are. Be sure to check out our show live on Youtube/Twitch on Fridays at 7PM EST! 

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!

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!

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.

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! 

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.
