Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Bonkers! Totally nuts. Let’s get this out of the way—yes, Tyler sounds terrible. Embrace the terrible. He is out of town for work and is doing his best. So, beyond 1/4 of the show having bad audio, Bubba Drewski joins us to discuss both the cartoon and the show this week. We talk about TikTok cats, FFXIV, something about pants, and the difficulty of job interviews and more. So if you liked Bonkers, or even happen to be familiar with these game – won’t you sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 858 – Aero Fighters (SNES)

Aero Fighters, you know—Aeros. And they are fighting. Did you guess this would be an intense cinematic platformer detailing a surface-dwelling human’s adventure trying to make his way through a cloud kingdom he woke up in? If so, you didn’t look at the game cover. It’s a top-down shooter. But I give you points for creativity. And someone should make that game. Or not, Tyler hates the genre. BUT AERO FIGHTERS! We visited quite a few movies this week, with some books and TV mixed in. Lots of zombie game talk for some reason, but we also do a solid dive into this game. So won’t you end this meandering episode introduction and just stay awhile and listen?

Mecarobot Golf! Did you also think it was Mecha Robot Golf? Wrong. Did you think this was a cool arcade style golf game with robots and futuristic elements? Wrong. Maybe more than 1 robot? Wrong. This game is not really what you would expect at all. But we taste some hot sauces and salsa courtesy of Bubbadrewski, some desserts from Tyler and plenty of movie, TV, and game talk before we get to the robot slander. So won’t yoy come sit awhile and listen to Mecarobot Golf?

Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies, and Super Pinball: Behind the Mask – That’s right, we go a little pinball crazy and takes on three games at once (hey, it’s pinball, not a ton of difference). But first we talk a lot Star Trek. Then some books. Then some movies. Then we try a food AND GET SOME AMAZING CALENDARS! THANKS, NATE!

Ep. 854 – Willow (NES)

Play

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Willow! Straight from Josh Nance’s heart to the shores of TADPOG. It doesn’t help us get to the end of the SNES library any quicker but we all need to live a little. We can have a little Willow, as a treat. This one may sound a little different (very different in Tyler’s case) but Paducah was hit by a huge winter storm that left each of us stranded at our homes, so we have to record virtually. Just know that going in. We go right to TADPOG’s Book Nook, see what Ian has been watching, catch up with Bubba Drewski, and think about MegaDeth. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

ActRaiser 2, the factual sequel to factual sequel to the Biblical book of Acts has finally arrived on TADPOG shores. Tyler has returned to us, and he didn’t die this time, so he talks about his week away. We deeply discuss donkeys and their wedding presence. TADPOG Book nook arrives as Tyler and Dave discuss the books read for the week and what Ian has watched for the week. We’re fortunate to have BubbaDrewski back, fresh from his flight in. We do get very into ActRaiser 2 and a few treats. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to some old white men talk about video games?

Uh. Light Bake. So we were going to talk about Actraiser 2 on this episode. But. Tyler had a bunch of important life stuff going on, so we decided to just kind of have a fun, “independent study” episode. So the bad news: Tyler isn’t on this episode. But the GOOD NEWS: we got Bubba Drewski (aka Dr. Ropes) annnnd Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley! This is a fun episode. We goof off. We try some snacks. We do a “Worst place to be trapped” Draft. We have a recording malfunction. Anyway…hope you like it! Light Bake!
