Play

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Q*bert 3 hops on so many squares to reach TADPOG shores today. Tyler is back! And he has lots of Jungle Jim’s things to try. So many that this episode was almost “Ooops, all Jungle Jim’s.” So come sit with us for TADPOG book nook, where we discuss more of The Dresden Files and The Red Rising series. We talk quite a bit about Chainsmoker Cat and the very strong anime antagonist—Truck-kun. We get more into Q*bert 3 than you’ve probably ever heard despite all of that. So this episode turns out to be a true Girth Brooks. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to 3 old white dudes?

Spider-Man! That’s right, Phil Spiderman, hits TADPOG shores. We’ve done Maximum Carnage, is this game similar? NO? Is that a bad thing? Listen and find out! You can probably guess. But just to clear everything up, we brought on our foremost Spidermanologist, Sandwich Pope Phil! Before we get started, we have to visit TADPOG Book Nook with Ian finishing up Ghost Story from The Dresden Files, Tyler starts the latest The Primal Hunter, and Phil gets into The Icewind Dale Trilogy. Dave gets up to some games with Henry, we talk about video game movies and games are are better than this one. Won’t you stay awhile and listen?

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?

The Tick, at last, and through so many iterations – has leapt onto TADPOG shores. In true celebration, we stacked the co-host panel for everyone. Not only do you get all the common hosts, you get BubbaDrewski and Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley! We have to discuss a few movies, of the Rob Reiner variety, more commentary on the increasing Stephen King television library, the fantastic defeat of Clair Obscure: Expedition 33, and maybe a little Dudley more for spice. Lots to discuss in this one, so won’t you sit awhile and listen to us talk about The Tick?

The Adventures of Dr. Franken, otherwise known as a justification to watch the new Frankenstein for the show, arrives on TADPOG shores! We mix is up in order to keep Nicole guess with our order of operations and discuss Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein right out of the gate. Then we discuss plenty of Stephen King, Janitor Joe, Young Frankenstein, and more. THEN we get to the game. Well, we also try some Goo Goo bars and the latest offering from Final Boss Sour. So if you have a hankering from some Steinkering (I know, just go with it for me) then come sit awhile and listen to us grouse about The Adventures of Dr. Franken.

Ep. 833 – American Gladiators

American Gladiators SNES
Play

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

American Gladiators assaults, power balls, cannon balls, and jousts it’s way over to TADPOG. Being good little 80s and 90s kids, we all had a love for this show. But does that carry over to this SNES game? You can probably guess. We draft some princesses and your favorite TADPOG episodes, we get really deep into Ian’s Horror Hole, read a few books, got some very interesting stories from Ian about his childhood and more. Come for the gladiatorial talk, stay for the stale game reviews – won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 826 – The Adventures of Milo and Otis

Play

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Milo and Otis! You remember their adventures, right? And all Americans are very familiar with the Japanese NES – The Famicom and it’s Japanese only exclusive peripheral, the Famicom Disc System? Yes? I knew it! The Adventures of Milo and Otis was a MASSIVE hit over seas so, of course, it has a video game called The Adventures of Chatran just for the Famicom disc system. So we just had to watch the movie and play the game. We also brought on our foremost Milo and Otis-ologist in Bubba Drewski! He also brought hot sauces! So listen to us try a variety of snacks then dive headlong into the true atrocities that are this movie and game duo. Why do I use the word “atrocity”? Well, you’ll just have a sit awhile and listen! Milo and Otis!

Ep. 822 – Conan (NES)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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.
