  • Bared Knuckles: A Retrospective Review of the Many, Many Beat 'Em Ups I Have Played
    Jul 23 2025

    This is a long one, listeners. Can one podcaster do 25 micro-reviews of various brawlers in one episode? Should they do such a thing? Well, I did! On this episode I micro-review a slew of brawlers I have played over the years that don't really need their own episode for. However, I have collected them in this one episode for your discovery and enjoyment. Tape up your knuckles, put on your best denim and sweat bands, and get ready to punch evil, vigilante style!

  • Survival Horror, JRPG Edition: Reliving Koudelka and the Shadow Hearts Games
    Jul 9 2025

    On this retrospective review, I discuss the somewhat forgotten games Koudleka and Shadow Hearts, a series of horror role-playing games in the Japanese fashion. Deeply themed with loss, tragedy, hope, Japanese and European themes, Lovecraftian monsters and the time honored trope of kicking a god in the face, this is a series that deserved more love than it got. Stop by for a listen and relive a set of cult classics - or maybe get introduced to the for the first time!

  • Mountain Views: A Retrospecive Review of Sierra Entertainment Titles
    Jun 25 2025

    Do you love point and click adventure games? Do you love typing fast on keyboards? The this episode if for you. I render my thoughts on the stand out games I played from the collection of Sierra On-Line (later Sierra Entertainment) that influenced my PC gaming years. Ken and Roberta Williams (mostly Roberta, I think, no offense) did all of us a solid as gamers and helped push the medium forward in difficult times for games. Stop by for a listen on a cozy topic of titles.

    Also, I didn't swear once in this episode. So you can share it with the family. Mostly.

    Jun 11 2025

    In this retrospective review, I talk about my history with the Metal Gear Solid franchise, or what I have played of it. Do I come out the other side a worshipper of Kojima-san and his giant galaxy brain? Uh, no. But, you know, I certainly experienced these titles like everyone else did! Drop by and give it a listen, you just may gain some perspective.

  • I Walked With A Zombie: A Retrospective Review of the Rest of the Resident Evil Games I Have Played
    Feb 26 2025

    I walked with a zombie last night...

    On this episode, in what is my longest show to date, I offer my thought, recollections, and mini reviews of the Resident Evil games I have played that I didn't cover as their own single episodes, as well as some of the media surrounding this nearly 30 year old series of games. How did the games fare? Are some of these your favorite titles or could you do without them? Did you play just the main entries or any spin-offs like I did? Stay a while as I opine on this august series. Just make sure to keep a shotgun handy.

  • Shout at the Devil: A Retrospective Review of the Devil May Cry Series
    Feb 12 2025

    Dante may not have had to go through the nine circles of Hell, but after multiple titles of thumb-blistering action, I was certainly feeling like I had to. On this episode I give my thoughts on the games of the Devil May Cry series I have played. How did it do, and where do I think the series is going from here? Drop in for a slice of (digital) pizza and watch the fireworks, baby!
