Ep. 832 Plus 2 Minus 800 Equals Rule 34 vs. The World

??? might be your first thought at the title of this episode. But yes, Rule 34 is definitely applicable for what we have in store for you. Tyler and Dave both had business trips this last week, so we went with more of a relaxed episode with conversational bits. Don’t worry, we’ll get back to the gaming next week. Life has to find a way. So, join your three usual hosts PLUS Jon for air conditioning revenge, prison breaks, commentary on Harbor Freight, some drafts AND the biggest “Build your feast” to date. We know you like video games and all but won’t you sit awhile and listen to some content on Rule 34?

Ep. 830 – Rambo

Rambo bleeds it’s way onto TADPOG shores. Wait, that cover shot doesn’t look like it’s from the original Rambo movie, he never wielded that sort of gun in the daylight. On grass and dirt. Could this game actually be based not n Rambo First Blood but on the terribly named First Blood Part II? YES. Does that mean we have to watch and talk about BOTH movies in order to set the scene for this NES game? YES. Do you have out foremost Rambologist, Jon Turley, on the show? OF COURSE. So please, come listen to 4 old white guys talk about a movie from the 80s and and NES game from the very early 90s. We also try some stuff, talk about anime, and a few books. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 824 –Platoon (NES)

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.

Ep. 823 – Predator (NES)

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. 817 – 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. 806 – Phalanx

Phalanx strums the old banjo into the halls of TADPOG. Have you heard of Phalanx? Maybe not. Are you millenial? Then you’ll probably recognize the iconic and weird box art. That probably bodes well for us, right? Such well known art for a game that no one really recalls what kind of game it was, yes? ANYWAY, we bring on our foremast old man with banjologist – Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley. We talk about jug bands, box art, visit Ian’s Horror Hole, discuss some books, some Game of Thrones and have some bar related drafts. So if you’ve ever been curious about the game with the weird box art, come sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 802 – Riddick Bowe Boxing

Riddick Bowe Boxing big daddies its way onto TADPOG shores, courtesy of the revitalized Randomizer (now back with full otherworldly powers). We bring on our foremost Boweologist, Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley. We sample some burgers, ala Good Mythical Morning style, while blindfolded. We discuss the merits of fast food, the history of Nosferatu, the perils of Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals, and more. Then we do a pretty deep dive into the particulars of Riddick Bowe Boxing. So won’t you sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 800 – Looney Tunes B-Ball

Looney Tunes B-Ball has more dunks than a donut shop all over TADPOG studios! This week we take a brief respite from movie games to fit in what we all heard was a hidden gem. Is it? We’ll get there. But first we talk about Police Story, Final Fantasy XIV, Cunk, and Sonic 3. Tyler has a bad night. What movie star has the most SNES game appearances? The results may surprise you. Then do a deep dive in Looney Tunes B-Ball and bring on, of NBA James fame, Captain Gun Nerd John Turley. So please, come sit awhile and listen!
