Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hey! It’s Summer Break! It’s hot! It’s busy! There was a recent federal holiday! Plus a business trip all combines into not being able to properly prepare for this week. We must all dedicate real time to Milo & Otis and Milo’s subsequent Japanese game. So Tyler has prepared some bits for us to go along with, discuss, and decompress. We’ll get you video game next week. Promise. Until then, won’t you come sit awhile and listen to us yammer on about books, movies, food, or what will smash and what we will pass? Summer Break!

Ep. 824 –Platoon (NES)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Platoon! Did you know this was an NES game? Have you seen Platoon? While watching it did you think it was just the PERFECT movie to base an NES game on? No? Neither did we. But we watched/re-watched Platoon and did a deep dive into this game. Of course, we brought on our foremost gunologist – Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley to complete the duo of TADPOG I.T. being together on the show once again. We talk about the best sort of ice to chew, Overwatch 2 characters, banana pudding, anime, and more. So won’t you sign up to come and listen to this episode? We’d hate to bring back to podcast draft.

Predator crash lands on the shores of TADPOG to turn invisible and hunt us using it’s heat vision. But don’t worry, we Peppa Pig out with some muddy puddles and we’re safe. But we do bring on the genuine article of foremost Predator experts with Game Bud Prime Nathan E (he held the 2nd best time IN THE WORLD for speed running this game). First, however, we talk zombie movies, Marvel movies, FFXIV, Star Trek, and Switch 2. We do gush over the original Predator movie aaaand them move onto the game. So please, sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 822 – Conan (NES)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Conan! What is best in life?! Not this game. It most definitely crushes Tyler, Dave, and Ian, drives us out before it, and hears the lamentations of our wives. That’s just Conan for the NES. What do we think of the 1982 hit, Conan the Barbarian? A lot more. So please, come hear us chat about a few horror movies, primarily Clown in a Cornfield. We explore more of the new Final Fantasy XIV expansion. Burlios caught a mouse and it was a thing.

Ep. 821 – Total Recall

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Total Recall! Did we do this before? It’s okay if you don’t totally recall. See what I did there? Well, we jump right in here to continue to do some NES games based on 80s/90s movies with this one here. We visit Ian’s Horror Hole right off with a long list of movies. We discuss the differences in roadhouses, both Texas and Logan’s. Opinions on the Switch 2 and staples are delivered. The Karate Kid and Sinners are seen and talked about then we talk quite a bit about the movie, play an improv game, then get to the NES game. If you enjoyed Total Recall then this is the episode for you. So please, come sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 820 – Darkman

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Darkman now darkens the door step of TADPOG with all its Sam Raimi glory. Per request of Ian after The Shadow, we watch this movie and play the game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Or NES. Am I trying to get more words into the intro for SEO? Maybe. I’ll never tell. We visit Ian’s Horror Hole, talk about Pee Wee Herman, hear the latest on Final Fantasy XIV, and discuss the raw tabletop power of the Circle of the Moon Druid. But there is lots and lots of prime 1990 Darkman content. So please, sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 819 – Sonic Blast

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Have you been blasted by sonic enough these past few weeks? No?! Then let’s starting blasting again with Sonic Blast for the Game Gear. We have some items to try, one of which is very thematic, the rest are just Tyler going out of town and buying things. There have to be dozens of people out there who are into this game so we most definitely get to it and and dive deeper than most people should. We also go off the rails with some goals, so this one is most absolutely one to sit awhile and listen to for some Sonic Blast energy.

Ep. 818 – Sonic Blast Man & Sonic Blast Man II

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Sonic Blast Man blasts its way onto TADPOG shores – not just once but TWICE! That’s right. We cover both Sonic Blast Man and Sonic Blast Man II. So we catch up from the last week where Dave had to go to Orlando on a work trip while Ian and Tyler worked in Paducah. But we all had plenty of time to reflect upon our time with these games. Not gonna lie, these show notes are very much a fusion of last week AND last week because above all things we have to stay on brand. We’ll still stay on brand with a great little Game Gear game next week. So please, won’t you stay a while and listen?
