Ep. 877 – Nigel Mansell’s World Championship Racing (SNES)

Play

Nigel Mansell’s World Championship Racing FINALLY comes to TADPOG. We know all the Mansellheads have been chomping at your bits for us to finally get to this 1992 classic and not a single one of the show hosts had ever heard about. BUT FIRST, we have to talk about Herman’s Head and Murphy Brown – things all the kids are talking about now. We also sprinkle in some Dresden Files, The King in Yellow, and Red Rising talk on the old TADPOG Book Nook. We visit Anime I? Discuss the latest 2008 happenings on the Jersey Shore, and more. But we get DEEP into Nigel Mansell. You’ll have to listen. Won’t you some sit awhile and do just that?

Ep. 875 – Steel Talons (SNES)

Play

Well. Here it is. The game you’ve all been waiting for us to cover.,,Steel Talons! You know it’s a serious game because the “O” in the game’s logo is a targeting reticle. It’s a game so important to the SNES library that Tyler dipped out and we got Bubba Drewski on as third mic to weigh in on this true gaming classic. Dare I say “hidden gem” for the SEO? You bet your ass I will. Hidden Gem alert! Hidden Gem alert!

Any views or opinions represented in this intro are Dave’s and belong solely to Dave and may not represent the views of TADPOG.

HAL’s Hole in One Golf birdies it’s way onto TADPOG Shores. We are sadly down a Bubba Drewski this week, but at least we all saw Project Hail Mary, so we have that going for us. We go on about what we have been playing AND what we have been reading – we are very close to Pizza Hut in our Accelerated Reader programs. We talk about Dungeon Crawler Carl, and some Delta Green tabletop, and plenty more. Oh yes, and this game. Actually quite a bit. So please, come sit awhile and listen! HAL’s Hole in One Golf!

Ep. 864 – SimCity 2000

Play

SimCity 2000, you know, about THE YEARRRRR TWOOOOO THOUSSAAAANNNNNDDDDD. Right? Okay, good enough. We did Sim City many many years ago so it’s only fair we give the SNES sequel a go like a decade or so afterward. In this episode we try out some special Easter candy in the form of Asian exclusive oreo flavors, a new offering from Little Debbie, and some flavored Peeps. We have that going for us, which is nice. We also do a deep a dive as possible into the SNES port of an amazing and robust PC game. It can only be amazing scaled to match the SNES, right? RIGHT?!

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?
