Episode 203: Kirby's Dream Course
Answering the age old question "what if we put our ball-like character into a situation where his ball-ness is a useful feature", this week's game is a unique twist on minigolf. As Kirby mysterious maneuvers himself around the world, discover a host of small mechanics that eventually interlock into some truly bizarre courses. Just kill all your golf-foes in the correct order, and save... Dreamland? Your putting average?

(03:00) Tyler is playing Splatoon again.
(03:30) TSM still employs both Leffin and ZERO, though ZERO has been less dominant in recent years than Geremy implies.
(06:00) Zach has been playing League of Legends, because it is a time of year.
(14:00) Geremy has been playing Dokkan Battle and that alone! World Tournament shenanigans abound.
(17:00) The assignment!? Already!? It's Kirby’s Dream Course!
(32:00) Speed Ranking!

Episode 157: Crystals are Key! [Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]
In desperate times, a hero must be summoned. This one sucks! I'm sure that's about the 2 billionth time that joke has been used about Kirby, though. In this latest iteration, frolic through cleverly disguised corridors and throw exploding shuriken, wield mighty swords, and... ice skate? Never before has the Pink Wonder been able to combine powers (unless you discount doing so with his animal companions). Remember, with great power, comes great hilarity.

Episode 137: Puffball Fashion Show [Kirby Super Star]
Gluttony never looked so eldritch! Join us on another of the Pink Puff's adventures, conveniently segmented into increasingly difficult chapters. Smack a tree in the face (repeatedly!), race against an anthropomorphic penguin, bring down a giant airship, play Dragon Quest, and punch the planet in half! Also, you should practice your sweet yo-yo skills.

(01:40) Deductive reasoning! Also, penguin explosion proximity can be a problem.
(05:00) Amazing wigs.
(09:30) Oh, Mr. Bowie.

Episode 103: Even More Useless Dreams [Kirby's Dreamland]
We talk about MOBAs a lot, followed by Pokemon and Kirby. A Kirby game that doesn't suck, in fact! Somehow, that seems to be to its disadvantage. Find out where Kirby's first adventure leaves the pink puffball.
Our download can't copy powers, but it sure does suck!
Show Notes
(05:00) Riot's bankrolling its own tournaments, apparently. Also, MOBAs!
(23:30) Pokemon Shuffle!
(25:00) Pokemon Insurgence is an in-progress fan game. It's pretty sweet!
(30:00) Kirby! Sadly, the game lacks variety... and powerups of firebreathing doom.
(34:30) More rankings! This week we add Shock Troopers, Bomberman '93, and Final Fantasy II.

Episode 63: Useless Hamster Dreams [Kirby's Dreamland 2]
Would you lightning from a hamster? Would you rock from on an owl? Would you lightbulb inside a fish? Kirby would do all of these things in pursuit of MacGuffins to save Dreamland, Dedede, and all of its adorable inhabitants (that he also slaughters).

(06:45) Physical stress in SC2.
(08:30) Midget Napoleon! On a slightly more relevant note, Dead Space and its interesting HUD.
(13:50) Speaking of using ammo between guns, Doom does that.
(17:00) Fallout: New Vegas is pretty great.
(20:00) Geremy talks about Dungeon Dashers.
(20:50) LTOVG, now the FTL podcast. We deride the essential uselessness of choosing sectors. Really, it suffers a lot of the problems of Rogue-likes, and discuss whether that's even a good design these days.
(29:30) FTL: Last boss difficulty cliff.
(32:00) Okami, the game that will not end. Also, boss rush hell.
(38:50) Kirby! A game about bosses, though "hard" might be a generous word for them.
(44:00) Why Kirby's Adventure was more fun. There are some MacGuffins, though.
(46:00) Archer!
(48:45) The final boss is an eldritch space vampire.

Bonus Episode 3: Kirby's Adventure? I think?
Another bonus episode so soon? Yes! Due to timing problems, we didn't get to record a regular episode (mostly Tyler's fault) and we did this instead! Also, Tyler's lazy, so no show notes. While we're blaming Tyler for things, how about trolling on the Internet. That's one person's fault, I think.

Episode 23: Show Me Your Moves! [Super Smash Bros.]
We crash, mash, and clash our way into our first game on the N64! It's Super Smash Bros., the fighting game classic that defied genre tropes and created a rather avid fanbase. Amidst all the furiously flying fighters, there are glimpses of what was to become of this series. Let's duke it out and see how far up the pile this one lands!
KO our Download!
(01:30) Geremy's awkward family moments. Also, Zach might be building bears.
(05:30) What we've been playing. Alex plays games! Lots of ACCF recently. KSP's pretty fun. Speaking of space, so's FTL. 1080 is a snowboarding game of some sort.
(14:40) Fortune Street! I link to a review, but I don't think such a thing can possibly do it justice. It's pretty cheap on Amazon, so if you have some friends that want to play Monopoly without the suck, the hosts recommend it.
(16:40) Smash Bros.! Surprisingly, it's one of the few crossover game. Also the brainchild of Masahiro Sakurai.
(21:00) The roster! The story of Falcon.
(24:00) There are unique target challenges and platform challenges for every character. It's pretty cool.
(28:30) We talk about Melee for a bit. It's generally better, to the extent that this game feels like a prototype for it. It's a pretty good case for sequels. We later claim it obsoleted this game.
(34:20) Just... why?
(37:20) That shadow eyeball thing from Kirby.
(39:30) People don't like the shotty.
Ever wanted to know how you could upgrade from being Mega? How about Mega Man 2?
Upgraded lemons? We have them! Email us at
