Cold Fear

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch are neck deep into the most frightening part of the year when we wax poetic about scary games and this week is no exception. We are dissecting one of the most underrated horror games of all time with the Coast Guard Russian Boat and Oil Rig monster simulator Cold Fear!

Eternal Darkness Sanity’s Requiem

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch take time out of their busy schedules to get together and talk about a hidden gem from the GameCube that told an engaging story through multiple generations while also trying to convince you that the game is broken and you are going insane. Come hither and help us continue the Spooky Season with the classic Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem! 

Choo-Choo Charles

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!

Spyro The Dragon and Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch dive in and go way back to the early days of Insomniac games and find themselves staring down a light, lovable duology (duoly? Deulilogy? Doggy? Dloggy?) where a small dragon is tasked with rescuing his entire species by himself with only a nightlight as his guide. Does he crush it? Listen in and find out for yourself as we talk about Spyro the Dragon and Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage to see what happens!

Fight Night Champion

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! 

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch dive deep into an Xbox 360 hidden gem that involves Sorcery, demons, holy weapons, and a bunch of other wild shit as you fight your way through a fictional feudal land fighting dragons in order to take down the main bad guy who can remotely tune into your head. Out of guesses? it has to be Dark Messiah of Might and Magic!

Secret Service: Ultimate Sacrifice

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch come to the table to talk about a game where you one man army a bunch of soldiers from the fictional country of Costa Nostra while also thwarting a coup of the United States Government that has taken over a majority of the government. This modern day classic is called Secret Service: Ultimate Sacrifice! Come in here and listen!

Plotty Time Drafts Beat em’ Ups

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch take a week off of reading book reports about games and decide instead to take a very popular podcast format and steal an episode out of that. This week we're doing a fantasy draft for Beat em Ups'! We talk about a lot of hack and slashers, brawlers, and shat the such from years ago! Listen to it, then go to the reddit to vote on who won the draft!

Army of TWO

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch start talking about a brand new trilogy after just finishing up one last week! This time it's less FPS and more third person cover based shooter with heavy 9/11 justification and a rare case where the PMC Mercenaries are actually the good guys. Who knew? Anyways, this week it's Army of TWO! Listen to this! Please!

Plotty Time Remembers Paul Reubens

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch take a break from their usual programming to pay tribute to a very special man who played a key role in their childhood as a strange and eccentric man-child with a house full of friends and puppets. Once he married a fruit salad. We miss Paul Reubens already and we wanted to talk about him this week. RIP Paul.
