Kept you waiting huh? After more of a delay than we expected, we’re finally here to talk about Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty. It’s got all your favorites, like Solid Snake… who dies one hour into the game… but it’s got Raiden right? And Fatman. People like him. And that nice Mr. Ocelot fellow. Listen and here what we have to say about one of video game’s true cult classics.
Episode 227: Castlevania Circle of the Moon
Nothing says "dark age fun times" like resurrecting the legendary Lord of Darkness and draining the life from an old man! Plus, the guest of honor is sure to enjoy the pre-meal entertainment: two teens aimlessly wandering the remains of his old castle. One of them seems to be particularly plucky. Follow Nathan "Definitely-Not-A-Belmont" Graves through traps and travails with us as we dive into the first mobile Castlevania!
Episode 181: Cool Guy Pose [Contra III: The Alien Wars]
When the situation is bad, it's time to get rad! When you need revenge, you should attack aggressively, which is exactly what not-Jimmy and not-Bimmy intend to do on their testosterone fueled rampage against their alien bureaucrats. Avoid timed obstacles, fight almost-3D bosses, and generally be a bad enough dude to survive!

Episode 140: Swamp Steve [The Adventures of Bayou Billy]
One man's swamp is every man's death trap. For as much as people make fun of Australia as being a place where all life evolved to kill humans (except koalas, I suppose), swamps are pretty deadly. There are blue shirted guys, scuba guys, guys with rocks, croco-guy-les. Truly, the deadly forces of nature are arrayed against our brave hero, who just can't seem to G-R-A-S-P how to effectively fight in the bayou.

Episode 119: This Game is So Bad We Didn't Even Mention Dracula [Castlevania: The Adventure]
You know what was awesome about Castlevania? Precision movement, perfectly sized platforms, methodical and premeditated advancement, and a satisfyingly effective attack coupled with special weapons suited for a variety of situations. You know what this game has? None of that. Also, falling platforms and endlessly spawning bats over them. Also, no color. The music's still pretty good, though!

Episode 62: Dracula Killing Club [Castlevania 3]
Back during the Black Plague years, the Belmont family was so powerful, they were kicked out of Europe. Yes, the entirety of Europe. That is, of course, excepting Trevor Belmont, who was apparently either less powerful or just not a dick. He then went on an epic journey (which way he went depends on who you asked) and gathered companions who had suspiciously similar jump arcs. Together, faced Dracula. How does the story end?!

(46:30) We talked about this one a while ago, but apparently it's applicable to a space shooter?
(50:00) Consequenceless deaths as a teaching tool. It can also be painful.
Next time on Last Time, it's Tecmo Bowl!

(23:00) All the goofy things this game says. Just... this. There's also a plot, I think. Xavier seems to like ranting about it, at least.
(30:00) Mutant powers! All the bosses monologue, which is just great.
(40:00) Between the Japanese and the American version, the Japanese has powerups and is therefore superior. As an added bonus, this game is up to 6 players. It's pretty mediocre aside from the camp, though.
(44:00) Wolverine is headmaster. That explains the wonderful decisions the students regularly make.
Next time on Last Time, Punch-Out!!...!
Come fisticuffs with us at
Welcome to download!
(01:00) Other X-Men games. Tyler's got a vanilla Minecraft server up constantly; email him if you want in. Zach's been playing The Bigs 2, an arcade baseball game, which is way cbetter than Bases Loaded. We talk about Zelda timelines for a bit, so go watch this thing +Edgar Diamond found.
(08:45) We talk about Mass Effect 2 compared to Bioshock for a bit.

Bonus Episode 4: Castlevania
For our first Halloween, why not a vaguely horror themed game? We only
talk about it every episode, so it's about time we got around to
recording one on it. Alex rejoins us, and we talk about character alignments! Whip it good!
Swallow our download to gains its abilities!
(00:30) We talk about sexy existential dilemmas.
(06:00) Jump arch matrimony!
(08:50) Angry lesbian stories. Also, wall chicken.
(18:00) Sub-items, and why they're actually useful in this game.
(21:00) Mechanics! Not that kind.
In summation, play Castlevania. It will enrich your life.

Episode 29: Somebody Call Me a Belmont [Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]
This week, we tread where no man dare to tread. No man except a vampire! And most people who own a PSX way back when. It's a terrible night to not know how to backdash!
Let us download tonight for pleasure. The bandwidth is still great.
(01:00) A brief alcoholic interlude, followed by what we've been playing. Geremy and Zach played some SC2. Nocturne, for the uninitiated, is a game about demons n' stuff. Wonderful 101 is super weird, but kinda fun! Bat nipples... Tyler talks a bit about Thomas Was Alone.
(10:30) In Showdown Effect, katanas are the default. Also, Burnout: Paradise is a pretty cool game that doesn't afraid of crashing.
(13:15) Videogame treadmill. It's a thing that needed to be.
(14:10) When to get a new console. Bungie continues to lend its mighty aid to Microsoft. The PS2 may have been a thing.
(18:30) Why buy a console over a computer.
(21:40) What game would you play for the rest of ever if you only had one?
(23:00) Castlevania: SotN is pretty sweet. CD loading rooms: Amazing. Zach and Tyler briefly debate the merits of 2D games and whether they should exist.
(28:15) WHY?!
(29:30) Cross-douken!
(30:30) Just a list of things this game does...
(31:30) What Zach was talking about. Also, Alucard definitely gets vengeance. Nooo! My powerups!
(35:20) Sweet opening music. The rest of that video has the full soundtrack; it's killer.
(39:45) Pointlessness of sub-weapons. They may help you get it all done.
(43:30) What is a man? Die you monster!
(45:30) Just text is worth exploring.
(47:30) Play it! It's worth the price.
Next week, you'll be cool enough to play Mega Man X!
Super lemons? We have them at

Episode 9: Ninja Legends Suck [The Legend of the Mystical Ninja]
Once a decade, when the moon is full and the spirits are restless, the lone ninja rises from the shadows to quell the growing unease in the world. Then his fat companion trips on the way up the hill and ruins the scene. This week, it's The Legend of the Mystical Ninja, who, as it turns out, isn't really all that mystical. He does fight an octopus horde, though, so that ought to be good for something.
Download it before it ninjas away
(1:00) What we've been playing. *SPOILERS* Geremy's been playing the stuff he was last episode.
(3:40) Mystical Ninja, with no articles, is a much better game than this. It has bazookas.
(6:15) We start getting into the meat of this. How generic is this game? Very.
(10:35) Ewww... I got some Japan on my game.
(13:33) Difficulty and enjoyable challenge, and why they're not necessarily the same thing.
(17:05) Co-op is good, surprising everyone. One person even had a heart attack upon hearing that.
(19:25) Biting off more than even Goemon's comically large mouth can chew in game design.
(20:35) Theme vs. The Translators vs. Disjointed Plot. This game is filled with things that have no purpose.
(23:40) Grinding in my action game? Soooo repetitive.
(26:35) Finishing thoughts and the ambition of ActRaiser. At least this game looks good.
(31:15) Our apologies to the audience for this game.
Next time, it's Gunstar Heroes for the Sega Genesis. You can rest assured that, if nothing else, this game is not as large a waste of money as our ninja adventure. Additionally, we're encountering a wandering guest host!

Episode 8: What Exactly is a Gradius? [Gradius]
Disclamer
***
First off, we apologize for the poor audio quality on this episode, especially on Tyler’s end. We have a new audio setup, and he was turned down a bit further than he should have been, while Geremy was up a bit higher. This should be fixed for the next episode.
***
Our zany adventures continue as we fight our way through hordes of wacky moai misfits and belligerent bionic battle suits in the arcade classic, Gradius! This game has a record for being incredibly difficult, a testament to the adopted slogan "Nintendo Hard." For the sake of this, we'll ignore that Gradius is on every system ever. Listen in as we test out some new audio equipment and find out whether this game withstood the test of time.
Download all power to the forward lasers!
(2:00) What we’ve been playing and watching.
(5:30) We talk about Slender and discuss this video a bit. NSFW (Language) www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvYrA9rCjy4
(7:00) The Assignment: Gradius
(10:00) Power-Up!
(18:00) Just how hard is Gradius?
(21:00) Gradius compared to Mario, and the transition from Arcade to Home Console.
Next week, we jump back forward to the Super Nintendo and take on some Japanese Culture with The Legend of the Mystical Ninja. Probability of Naruto jokes 95%! Don’t miss it!
There's no 'I' in 'Shinobwe'. Find out why at
