We do a deep dive into Ian’s Horror Hole. get into Anime I? Phil tells us of his great Valheim deeds and his opinion on Super Girl. We also get very into Super R-Type, maybe more than anyone else.

Ep. 863 – D-Force

Play

D-Force forces its D directly onto our show, courtesy of The Randomizer. We are blessed by the presence of Bubba Drewski to help us talk about different kinds of sugar, what Larry David is doing, discuss Ian’s journey into The Dresden Files, Tyler’s journey into He Who Fights With Monsters, Dave’s journey in Project Hail Mary, and how busted some of the Final Fantasy mini games are. We try plenty of foods from Jungle Jim’s and even find some time to talk more deeply about this game that maybe anyone else ever has. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to some D-Force?

Ep. 858 – Aero Fighters (SNES)

Play

Aero Fighters, you know—Aeros. And they are fighting. Did you guess this would be an intense cinematic platformer detailing a surface-dwelling human’s adventure trying to make his way through a cloud kingdom he woke up in? If so, you didn’t look at the game cover. It’s a top-down shooter. But I give you points for creativity. And someone should make that game. Or not, Tyler hates the genre. BUT AERO FIGHTERS! We visited quite a few movies this week, with some books and TV mixed in. Lots of zombie game talk for some reason, but we also do a solid dive into this game. So won’t you end this meandering episode introduction and just stay awhile and listen?

Ep. 847 – WarpSpeed (SNES)

Play

WarpSpeed crashes onto TADPOG shores this week. We celebrate with Ian’s 3D printing, plenty of what we have been playing, what we have been watching, what we have been reading and more. We even discuss what we will play for Christmas this year. What do we think of this generically named game that we have never heard of before? I guess you’ll have to listen and find out. So won’t you please download some sort of podcasting app on your phone, find us, subscribe, make sure you are on Wi-Fi somewhere so you don’t drive up your data, download an episode, then sit awhile and listen? WarpSpeed!

Ep. 813 – Space Megaforce

Play

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. 806 – Phalanx

Play

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. 787 – Soldiers of Fortune

Play

Soldiers of Fortune, aka THE CHAOS ENGINE, hits the shores of TADPOG. Hey, this is an important day! On this, the day of recording, it is our very own Dave’s birthday. So we have to celebrate in style with trying a soda, giving him a gift, talking about RPGs and some TV shows then doing a deep dive into this maybe hidden gem of a game that only Tyler had heard of in a magazine when he was kid. So come please, come sit awhile and listen to us break down this down along with a few anime. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAVE!

Ep. 761 – Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival

Play

Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival connects its rainbow to TADPOG. Remember that Muppet draft we didn’t have time to get to on our last all drafts episode? Well, we just decided to go in “whole hog” (Wokka Wokka) and not only do a Muppet (well, anything Jim Henson) draft but we did the only applicable Muppet video game Tyler could find in a 2 minute Google search, this little gem for the NES. So please, come listen to a menagerie of Jim Henson creation content this week with Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival!
