Obviously it's Banjo Kazooie time!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch gather round the campfire to talk about a game that was forged from the bones of the Half Life series that wanted to answer the question of "Should our game star an edgy teen who can't imagine being happy in life as someone who is differently able?" The question that no one asked is answered in Cry of Fear.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch sit down at the table to talk about a throwback to the Panasonic 3DO days with a game that laid down some foundations for the survival horror genre before it was cool. This completely blood soaked bonkers inside-yo-mind horror experience is remembered as D! Just the Letter D! Not that "D". Get your mind out of the gutter.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch show up to the table to talk about an underrated FPS with fantastical sword fighting elements, ancient Yokai lore, sexy assassins, comic book nerds, trickster demons, and so so much gunplay. We were excited to dive into the overlooked classic (maybe?) that is Shadow Warrior!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch sit around the table and talk about a crazy fever dream of a survival horror experience that has really flown under the radar ever since its original release. Of course we are talking about the haunted orphanage movie where crayons are drawn on people, bullying is extremely intense and celebrated and the unluckiest girl in the world somehow survives a billion traumatic events. Obviously it's Rule of Rose!

This week Dr. Syintist is MIA, he gave us no details on where he was going, so we can't help but assume that he is heading into the jungles of South America to help kill a predator. While he's out Chump Slap and Poppascotch get together again to talk about The EWBU, or the extended Weekend at Bernie's Universe as we break down every film in the franchise (there are 2 of them) to revisit how strange and bizarre these films have aged over the years. Get in here! Also, chime in and tell us if you like these off brand episodes or if you hate them. We would love your feedback!

These clowns are finally covering the third installment of a fan favorite and beloved franchise that Sucker Punch refuses to continue to make money from by denying any future installments. Terrible business moves aside, we are talking about the majestic, the one, and the only Sly Cooper with Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves!

Well fine, hop on in here to listen to your 3 best friends talk about Call of Duty Advanced Warfare (spoiler, it's still a fun episode).
