This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch wrap up their 4th year of podcasting with a banger. Someone this one blew right past us back in 2005 and it's gained a pretty impressive fanbase over the years as the survival horror game that time forgot. Of course we are talking about the mid aughts classic ObsCure!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch talk about an insane cop thriller. It's not like the other tough as nails cops who plays by their own rules and accumulates a huge body count as they tear through depressed areas of the city killing people who had no other economic path forward than to join a gang or decide to become career criminals via some kind of assassin network! No way is this the same! This game has a dog buddy! Go listen to us talk about Dead to Rights please.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch do discuss another very special banger in this episode but we want to keep it a secret for the most dedicated fans to explore. Ok, I'll give you some hints.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch discuss the sort of but not really sequel to an on rails shooter game that we didn't all hate. This one isn't on rails, it's a first person shooter that takes place in Iraq and Nevada chasing down some kind of Alien life force that spawns super soldiers and OctoDogs. If that doesn't sounds awesome enough for you, you've got the wrong podcast. Get in here and list to the boys talk about BlackSite: Area 51!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch speak the body electric with a game that spawned three sequels, yet none of us have ever heard of it before! It's honestly a concept we can really get behind because who wouldn't want to play the video game version of a Disaster Movie? Right?! Then make your Report... Your DISASTER REPORT!!! I'm sorry.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch gather round to talk about a vide game adaptation of one of the most ridiculous portrayals of gangs since Rebel without a cause or whatever 50s nonsense comes to mind. I'm sure that's what our audience thinks about. 50s greaser movies with weird clean cut bikers and dudes who liked leather jackets and cars or whatever. But yeah, some see the cool baseball gang everyone loves when Plotty Time talks about The Warriors! Come out and Play-yay!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch wax a bit nostalgic about a game they spent a lot of time playing back in 2015 for like two years because obsessions are real problems and you just don't understand because games back then were totally different than now; they didn't yet know how to lock you in with seasons and events and- you know what. No. I'm not giving it anymore of my energy. Here's one where we talk about Destiny.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch dip their toes into a long and storied video game franchise for the second time with a game that was hastily put together as fast as they could and jammed into the cannon of a great trilogy as to completely overwhelmed their customers with franchise fatigue! Is it an Assassin's Creed game? No. Is it a Far Cry Game? No... you aren't going to get it, it's Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands! God damn, these are all Ubisoft, aren't they?
