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. 814 – Magic Sword (M…! Ah! Gic Sword)

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!

Ep. 813 – Rise of the Phoenix

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. 811 – The Jetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates

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

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!

Ep. 808 – Super Troll Islands

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. 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. 804 – Super Goal! 2

Super Goal! 2, that’s right. Punctuation is hard in the SNES era. You also know how soccer games tend to go for us, so is this special? Do we dive in and wash ourselves in a hidden gem of soccer goodness that can reach even our sport game-hardened hearts? We won’t tell. (You probably know the answer). Super Goal! 2 Welcome back ChocoChica to the show after a very long hiatus to join Dave and Ian in trying a bunch of chicken sandwiches blindfolded. We further the chicken game by building our own chicken based meal draft. The hosts also talk some TV shows, some gaming, and a little bit more. So please, come sit awhile and listen! Super Goal! 2
