Episode 190: Not Enough Bombs and Too Many Jacks [Mighty Bomb Jack]

Nothing can stand up to your mighty bombs!  Wait... That's Bomberman.  Bomb Jack mostly... jumps.  And opens treasure chests.  A true hero for the ages.  Wade through exceedingly random enemies while collecting either bombs or treasure chests, depending on the current flavor, and avoid... the Torture Room.  Unless you're into that.



The first coin gets you sweet shades, and the second coin gets you a download!


Show Notes

(02:15)  The Steam value calculator Tyler mentioned, with his account as a sample.  Damn you, Star Wars bundle!  And Humble Bundles!

(05:45) Some regular ol' Gurumin.

(08:30) Zach's initial thoughts on Super Robot Wars OG: The Moondwellers.

(16:00) The first of, presumably, many ill-advised purchases. Very ill-advised.

(27:00) Geremy's thoughts on his second attempt at Persona 5.

(32:00) Persona 3 yourself.

(46:00) Gratuitous?

(48:00) Mighty Bomb Ranking!

Episode 77: Puzzle WIZARDS [Solomon's Key]

The best wizards use fireballs, and Dana's definitely got those. Mostly, though, he can defy the precept of conservation of matter to create and destroy blocks! It's surprisingly useful. Too bad there are SO MANY ENEMIES.  That, and the fairies aren't nearly as useful as they are in Zelda.



Our download's no fairy, but it is ethereal


Show Notes

(01:00) Payday games!

(08:00) Fire Emblem hard pansy mode vs. hard real mode.

(13:30) All the character archetypes!  Just... go spend an hour on TV Tropes.

(16:30) I am Groot.

(17:30) You know how Mana Khemia is awesome?  The sequel sucks.  Don't play it.

(19:30) Conversely, Grandia II is pretty good.

(24:00) Space vandals!

(25:00) Inducing panic in players.  We discuss audio cues and countdown timers.

(30:00) Turns out there's no Link between these games.  Tyler got the name wrong.

(34:00) Replaying puzzle games.

(36:00) Beating/starting levels is a bit disappointing.  The music's pretty good, though.

(41:00) Speaking of constantly repeated puzzles...  By the way, Resident Evil, collecting a key and opening a door with it is not a puzzle.

Episode 59: Failing Out Of Ninja Art School [Ninja Gaiden]

Imagine how much different Ryu's life would have been if he had bothered to study cubism. There wouldn't be an random guys with clubs trying to kill him, his father's colleague would still be alive, and the world would be covered in 1000 years of statue-demon based darkness. It might be an improvement.



If you try to download this while jumping, you'll run out of ninja points.


(02:00) If you can dodge a wrench...

(03:00) Captain 'Muricuh!

(04:00) Ninja power follows an inverse number law.

(07:00) Talking about League ninjas.

(10:00) Horde modes are awesome.

(10:45) Mentioned before, but the Attack on Titan fan game by Feng Lee is great.

(19:45) Wii U GBA games exist now.

(21:00) Smash speculation.

(29:00) Ninja Gaiden: it has cut scenes.

(30:00) What is a game by any other name?

(35:00) The demise of the cut scene.  Ledo and Ix.

(37:30) Ryu has hearing problems.  Also, he seems unaware of the use of ladders.

(47:00) Totally not Castlevania.  Which is better.

(50:00) Final thoughts.

(53:00) Physical magazines in the face of the Internet.
