Ep. 882 – Q*bert 3

Play

Q*bert 3 hops on so many squares to reach TADPOG shores today. Tyler is back! And he has lots of Jungle Jim’s things to try. So many that this episode was almost “Ooops, all Jungle Jim’s.” So come sit with us for TADPOG book nook, where we discuss more of The Dresden Files and The Red Rising series. We talk quite a bit about Chainsmoker Cat and the very strong anime antagonist—Truck-kun. We get more into Q*bert 3 than you’ve probably ever heard despite all of that. So this episode turns out to be a true Girth Brooks. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to 3 old white dudes?

Ep. 878 – Sports Illustrated: Championship Football & Baseball (SNES)

Play

Sports Illustrated: Championship Football & Baseball! You know, two in one! With the super limited space on an SNES cart, there is no way either of these games was given short shrift for the novelty of having two sports games in one. Right? RIGHT?! I GUESS YOU WILL HAVE TO HANG OUT WITH US TO FIND OUT. But don’t worry, we spice it up in other ways before we get to the delicious Sports Illustrated goodness. Lots of Curb Your Enthusiasm talk, we visit Ian’s Horror Hole for the Evil Dead series. Dave takes us to Anime I? with Chainsmoker Cat. Tyler is almost finished with Mina the Hollower after he and Melissa finally see Obsession. So there is plenty to digest here, so won’t you sit awhile and listen to the best talk about Sports Illustrated: Championship Football & Baseball that you PROBABLY have ever heard?

Ep. 865 – Pokemon Pinball (GBC)

Play

Pokémon Pinball does that one banned maneuver where you lazarus the ball from certain doom back into play, directly to TADPOG shores. Chosen as the TADPOG retro game of the month by the TADPOG Nation, we thought it would be timely to knock this one out. Since it’s pinball, you know we have to bring on Pinball Archmage Chris Edler, and we have another fortunate visit from Bubba Drewski! Hey, it’s a quiz from Ross Rachel Green! We talk about other pinball games, some books, some stand-up, the mythos of Max Headroom, and more. Won’t you come sit a while and listen to four old white guys talk about old Game Boy Color games?
