Ep. 818 – 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. 816 – The Shadow

The Shadow knows! He knows that this movie was such a flop (was it though?) that the game 99% completed yet they decided to scrap it? Only a few review copies went out to the ROM exists online for all to play. So we played it! We also just had to watch the movie along with it. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to Jake and Tyler try the newest Final Boss Sour, celebrate Brainy Jr’s college graduation, review Drop in Ian’s Horror Hole, visit Dave’s Den of Gaming with Knave and Shadow Dark, pine over Dark Man, and celebrate seeing Mearth. Will you? The Shadow knows you want to hang out with Jake and Tyler at TADPOG!

Ep. 815 – 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. 814 – 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. 813 – Space Megaforce

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. 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. 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!
