Adaptation Decay 90: Video Games in Cartoons
After the harrowing experience that was covering Wing Commander last month, we needed a palate cleanser. So enter a new kind of episode: a survey of video game-related episodes of popular cartoons! We assure you this isn’t just an excuse to talk about things we already like.First we discuss three episodes of Adventure Time: “Guardians of Sunshine”, “Card Wars”, and “Dungeon Train.” Then we talk about one of the best Simpsons episode...
Watch Out for Fireballs! 450: City of Heroes
Wouldn't it be nice to run around and pretend like you had the superpowers you always read about in comic books? City of Heroes takes the pen and paper daydreams of children and translates them to a much-beloved cult MMO. Does it stand the test of time? Or are you better off just fucking around with the character creator?Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

Everything to Guppy 976: Monster Blitz Pt. 30
We only cover half of a monster on this one, it's kind of a problem
Abject Suffering 574: X-Perts (Genesis)
Gonna be honest, it’s weird to record an episode that stays on topic like this one does. Everyone remembers the Eternal Champions, right? A franchise beloved enough that it got two character-specific spinoffs before Mortal Kombat got even one? X-Perts (unrelated to the X-Men) is in the running for one of the worst beat-em-ups we’ve covered for the show, which is really saying something.
Bonfireside Chat 298: Across the Great Ellac Bridge
The Great Ellac Bridge crosses a dividing line in the Gravesite Plain, a large canyon that stands between the ground we’ve already covered and Castle Ensis. The far side is fortified and narrow, but has many mysteries to explore before we head into the castle itself. This week we tackle castle-front encampment before heading north into a misty valley to delve into the Fog Rift Catacombs, where Godwyn and his forces are working toward mysterious...

Bomberman is simple, and Bomberman is forever… even if his heyday as the mainstay of multiplayer party games is mostly in the past.
