Ep. 821 – Conan (NES)

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. 820 – Total Recall

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. 819 – Darkman

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. 818 – Sonic Blast

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. 817 – Sonic Blast Man & Sonic Blast Man II

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?

Ep. 816 – Sonic Blast, Man

Sonic Blast, Man! That’s what we said we were going to cover this week. It’s not out fault if you didn’t pick up on that comma. And we were indeed talking about the slushy ice creamy treat featured at Sonic Drive-Ins across America – the Sonic Blast! Sooooooo, yeah. There may be a bit of a pivot in this episode where we do some blind ranked guessing of fast food desserts and fast food restaurants then, you know, that’s it. But there is still plenty here! We just had a make different preparations because of life. So this turned into a relaxed fit episode that we had a lot of fun with. So please, just sit awhile and listen! Sonic Blast, Man!

Ep. 815 – The Shadow

The Shadow knows! He knows that this movie was such a flop (was it though?) that the game 99% completed yet they decided to scrap it? Only a few review copies went out to the ROM exists online for all to play. So we played it! We also just had to watch the movie along with it. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to Jake and Tyler try the newest Final Boss Sour, celebrate Brainy Jr’s college graduation, review Drop in Ian’s Horror Hole, visit Dave’s Den of Gaming with Knave and Shadow Dark, pine over Dark Man, and celebrate seeing Mearth. Will you? The Shadow knows you want to hang out with Jake and Tyler at TADPOG!

Magic Sword

Magic Sword, but you probably know it by it’s much more common name, Mmmmm-agicsword. We gather the power of the blackorb and use it call forth a brand new guest hold, one whom is well versed in all magics and swords most fowl – Xalnop! He has been a fan of this game from far back in the ancient times – The 90s. So he helps us sort out all the swords and all the magics that power those swords. We also discuss LaMulana, geckos, visit Ian’s Horror Hole, explore the cosmos of Final Fantasy XIV, and eat some Peanut Butter and Jelly M&Ms. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen? Also, Happy Birthday ChocoChica!
