This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch strap into their space suits and take a trip to Mars where we get to visit a beautiful science installation that is under attack by some sort of Hell dimension. It's not real Hell, it's like a lava level with demon enemies. We didn't actually go to Hell. We didn't go anywhere. We're just chatting on about Doom 2016! Get in here!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch kick off spooky season in the best way possible! By talking about a game where a killer train holds an island hostage because its maker decided that money was more important than the lives of the townsfolk. Luckily the townsfolk have a bunch of scrap metal you can use to create an attack train to take down the Evil train Charles in the seminal classic Choo Choo Charles!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch finally get back to talking about a narrative game from EA Sports! Can you believe it's been this long? This time we at least discuss a game where the career mode was the star feature that the rest of the game was built around instead of a poorly made tacked on game mode that was pasted together at the last minute. Feast your guys on a real attempt at a Sports story from EA spots with the boxing and family drama sim Fight Night Champion!
