Ep. 813 – Rise of the Phoenix

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Rise of the Phoenix just ups, and Koei’s all over our day. That’s right. It’s another one of those Koei PC ports that are very crunchy, and this one is from its “Historical Simulation Series”! So, please, come listen to talk about everything else first before we have to dive into this game – we rate and review all the fast food macaroni and cheese options in Paducah, try some sauces from St. Elmo’s Steakhouse, talk about the latest offerings in Overwatch, discuss a Chuck Norris movie, visit Ian’s Horror Hole, debate some FF XIV jobs, and more. Then we discuss this game at a decent length. Won’t do us a favor and listen to Rise of the Phoenix?

Ep. 812 – Space Megaforce

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Space Megaforce, courtesy of The Randomizer, FORCES it’s way into TADPOG. Get it? We certainly did. This game turns out to be quite the surprise in more ways than one. But before we jump into the review – we talk about Hilary Swank, a Danny Devito movie, Suikoden, Vampire Survivors, FFXIV, and quite a jump into the long lost Ani-may I? segment. We double draft how well we may fight a few musicians and where we rank the fearsomeness of the most notorious serial killers and more. So please, won’t you FORCE yourself to sit and listen to some Space Megaforce, for us? As a treat?

Ep. 812 – Snack Time with TADPOG

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Snack Time with TADPOG! Ian has a fever busy week out of town for work so we welcome him (and Bubba Drewski) back with lots of special snacks in a relaxed fit episode as there was no time to fit in a game. We do a blind burger tasting with the last 5 drive thru restaurants in Paducah, we sample the Kardashian Crumbl cookies, SODA JERKS is back with a sampling of weird sodas from Cracker Barrel, the latest offering from Final Boss Sour, and we conclude with some food related drafts. Very heavy on the food and light on the games but we’ll get back to that next week!

Ep. 811 – The Jetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The Jetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates, ever heard it? A true gift from the Randomizer since none of us had ever heard of it or seen it. So in celebration we do a retro futurism draft, discuss some Dungeon Crawler Carl, we get an update on Dave’s gaming mouse woes, discuss what we’ve been playing then jump right into some good old Jetson’s content. This may be a bit of a surprising one, so won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 810 – Brutal: Paws of Fury

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Brutal: Paws of Fury has arrived, at long last, to TADPOG shores. You probably remember the art that was blasted all over the gaming magazines of it’s day. But you probably didn’t actually see and play the game and there may be a pretty good reason for it. But we’ll get to that. First things, this is a celebration as long time listener, Bubba Drewski, makes his first appearance as a guest host IN PERSON. We get an update on Ian’s X-Box reimbursement, Bubba Drewski reviews Pizza By The Pound, Dave searches for a Logitech G600, and Tyler dives headfirst in Vampire Survivors. Very important sandwiches are rolled for and then we really get into the details of Brutal: Paws of Fury. So please, come sit awhile and listen!

We had a great time the first go round and this time was just the same. So come let join us trying our first Level 4 Final Boss Sour, Ian recounts his weekend trip to the Louisville Arcade Expo, Chocochica loves tornados, Tyler has his heart broken by Suikoden mid-stream, Dave wants to play Monster Hunter Wilds but his heart belong to Final Fantasy XIV. So come get educated on all the newest words, please, come sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 808 – Super Troll Islands

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Super Troll Islands, that’s right. ISLANDS. Plural. So many islands of souless hairy troll faces with their butt jiggly up and down ladder. That’s not me just being weird. THAT IS AN ART ASSET FOR THIS GAME. That makes you need to listen, right? In addition to all this ridiculousness, we do a deep dive back into the 90s with a 20 spot draft of popular trends from the decade. We saw a few movies, we played a few games, we talk about them. Then we dive head first into the warm, colored waters of the Super Troll Islands. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 807 – Troddlers

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Troddlers…troddles it’s way to TADPOG shores? If they want to make Troddlers a noun then I can turn it into a verb. Hey, what do toddlers and probably troddlers both love? Chicken nuggets. We do a blind taste test of local fast food nuggets (ChocoChica, maybe now ChickenChica joins us!), Ian gets into a beta test, Dave becomes a Master Viper, and Tyler fights about his Dark Urge. We also talk a lot about this game none of us had ever seen or heard about in our lives. So please, come sit awhile and listen to us troddle on about Troddlers!
