This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch throw you all a curve ball by talking about the X-Files again. BUT WAIT! THIS ISN'T A Plotty Time Watches Episode! Yeah it's not because this week we discovered and discussed the PS2 exclusive game for the X-Files where they take Mulder and Scully and put them in a Resident Evil game. It's called X-Files: Resist or Serve!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch reach deep into the backlog of games to find a video game based on a Keanu Reeves movie that had holy shotguns, demons getting trapped in mirrors, frequent trips to hell, Tilda Swinton and Gavin Rossdale? From Bush? No, it’s a band from the 90s that was hot for like 3 years. Clearly the only game it could be is the PS2 adaptation of the film Constantine. The game is also called Constantine.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch show up this week ready to talk about a game that totally explains the Lost civilization of Atlantis who were so technically advanced that they could harness the ability of flight, but they couldn't figure out how to possibly govern without a firm Monarchy in place. It sounds silly when you say it like that. Either way, get ready for some talk about Atlantis: the Lost Tales!

This week our scheduling took a turn for the worst, so we panicked for 4 days, then Chump Slap and Poppascotch rented a movies theater at the last minute for a two person screening of the 1994 film Street Fighter in order to have something to talk about. So please enjoy a silly episode that probably goes too far into depth about a move that despite having Raul Julia in it, was not super great. We have fun though. We have fun.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch take an interesting journey through a very interesting installment of the Ratchet and Clank series when the famous duo finds themselves kidnapped and forced into arena death slavery. It's kind of like Gladiator, but with Ratchet and Clank and other robots and monsters and shit. It's cool, come listen to us talk about Ratchet: Deadlocked!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch uncover a fan favorite LucasArts gem that has somehow gone under our radar until right now. We've got a king with a dolt as a son, machine gun turrets, poor destitute villagers, a shark attack gun and a robot Knight. It couldn't be anything other than Armed and Dangerous!
