Watch Out for Fireballs! Listener Responses: February 2018 (Mech Month)
Mech month was a lot of fun, and you turned out in force to share your thoughts about these games.Next month we're covering Ikaruga, Jamestown, The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone, and the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.Support Watch Out for Fireballs!
Exquisite Suffering 39: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
Behold the Mario 64 that might have been. Argonaut was on top of the world, doing 3D programming for Nintendo. When they cooked up a prototype 3D Yoshi game in their spare time, Nintendo was intrigued... but they passed. So the two organizations went their separate ways. That prototype became Croc, while Nintendo went on to make Mario 64. Are these things related? I don't know, let's just talk about pubes.
Radio Free Mid-World 34: The Long Road Home / Treachery
What happened during Roland's return to Gilead from Mejis, and how exactly did Gilead fall? Murph joins me to talk about two story arcs from the Dark Tower comics: The Long Road Home and Treachery. These give us a little more time in Gilead that was before it falls, and show us some of the cosmic implications of Roland's quest.
Abject Suffering 233: Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti
It's a spooky and funny, fun and fast platformer from a series that is notably bad.
Everything to Guppy 4: A Swallowed Penny
This penny is swallowed, and these undead are Hollowed!
Everything to Guppy 3: Spoon Bender
This spoon is bender, and these graphics won't render!

Adaptation Decay 14: Clue
We're playing fast and loose with the mission of the show in order to talk about the most unlikely thing: a board game adaptation that is also a very good movie. Tim Curry headlines an ensemble cast that tries to solve murder after murder in a nonstop horny farce. This movie should be remembered for a lot more than its "multiple endings" gimmick.
Watch Out for Fireballs! 185: Titanfall 2
Will you learn to love a weapon? No, no you won't. However, you will love the way Titanfall 2 feels to play. The way it handles shooting and movement is something to behold. Though the story leaves a lot to be desired, the game's standout levels and breezy pace made this a perfect conclusion to Mech Month.Support Watch Out for Fireballs!Links:Exosquad Opening - YouTubeTitanfall 2 by An Angry Albino in 1:35:33 - SGDQ2017 - Part 129 - YouTu...

Those Damn Ross Kids 219: Swerve Drive on the Road Pop
Kris and Kole talk about delivery logistics, awful queso, and delayed gratification.ALSO: Give ‘im the heater! Scavenger hunt for my packages. A very bad watch. The tubed food market. A comment from our racist president. A campaign against Tide Pods. A long story about getting shot. More Subway. China doesn’t want to take our garbage anymore. Dolphins are delaying gratification.
Everything to Guppy 1: Sad Onion
This onion is sad, but this podcast is rad!
Abject Suffering 232: Bloody Roar
Brayton Cameron returns to school us on Bloody Roar and usher in the new age of Chili Horse.Special Guest: Brayton Cameron.
Monster in My Podcast: Zombie
The season ends on a classic, and a subversion of our "most undead are trash" rule.The show is taking a brief break, and will return starting March 5 with our season about the Shadowrun supplemental manual "Paranormal Animals of North America".
Days of Future Cast 36: All Heartbreak, No 808s
This week we ask the question "why is Storm such an idiot?" and unfortunately we don't get an answer. Instead, we get an episode of He-Man with Marvel characters and a Star Trek plot. It's real weird. We also cover a good episode about Nightcrawler, and have to deal with a lot of Sabretooth/Mystique fanfic. I'm sorry, y'all.

Monster in My Podcast: Zaratan
Gary wants to eat Kole's new giant friend.
Watch Out for Fireballs! 184: Armored Core: For Answer
Before Souls, FromSoft made Armored Core. And this is our first real exposure to it... and it turns out it's very good. Despite outward appearances, there's a good deal of variety in the Armored Core series, with For Answer being the fastest and most action-oriented among them. But it retains that important element of mecha customization that lets you tailor your character to the situation and your play preferences. Listen in, and see if ...
Exquisite Suffering 38: The Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare
We'll never not have something to say about The Simpsons. Or the recent bumper crop of quality Simpsons memes. What's more difficult to talk about is this abysmal collection of surreal Simpsons minigames. So instead we do what we always do, and range far afield.
Monster in My Podcast: Yugoloth, Guardian
An interdimensional hitman who works on a sliding scale of skill and price.
Radio Free Mid-World 33: Desperation
Nevada is home to a lot of intense people, and Autumn Greer joins me to talk about one of the most extreme: Collie Entragian. Desperation is the chronicle of what happens to several travelers who are captured by a small town sheriff in the abandoned burg of Desperation, Nevada. And it turns out the corruption runs deeper than anyone could expect, literally.Links:Achewood § April 29, 2002
Abject Suffering 231: The Senpai
This anti-game is gold, Jerry! Gold! Seriously, go play it right away. We'll wait.
Monster in My Podcast: Yuan-ti, Histachii

Watch Out for Fireballs! 183: Jumping Flash!
Let's take it way back to the earliest days of 3D platforming. It's everyone's favorite failed mascot: Robbit! (Pronunciation yet to be determined). The story of Jumping Flash! is kind of sad, because it nailed so much about how to make a platformer feel good... then just kind of went away. It's an evolutionary dead end that lives as a footnote about the PlayStation, and little more. But you shouldn't ignore it.Support Watch O...
Monster in My Podcast: Yeti
The mighty magic sasquatch, except not.
Those Damn Ross Kids 218: House of Nards
Kris and Kole talk about dank taxonomies, derogatory taxonomies, and morbid taxonomies.ALSO: Context counts. We didn’t talk. Fish excuses and sweet potato difficulties. It’s a thermal carafe. QUIZ: Canadian weed terms. A place where wolves like to fuck. Kris’ fear of carbon monoxide poisoning. A gallon of liquid in a gallon bag. What do you call the body? Grandma’s in the ornament. Laser engraved livers.
