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!

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?

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?

Ep. 858 – Aero Fighters (SNES)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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?

Mecarobot Golf! Did you also think it was Mecha Robot Golf? Wrong. Did you think this was a cool arcade style golf game with robots and futuristic elements? Wrong. Maybe more than 1 robot? Wrong. This game is not really what you would expect at all. But we taste some hot sauces and salsa courtesy of Bubbadrewski, some desserts from Tyler and plenty of movie, TV, and game talk before we get to the robot slander. So won’t yoy come sit awhile and listen to Mecarobot Golf?

Ep. 851 – Liberty or Death! (SNES)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Liberty or Death! or cake? Nah, no Eddie Izzard references here (for the moment). You know we love the vast field of minutia and crunch that are all Koei games, so surely we do even better with a game that relates to history we studied in middle and high school, right? RIGHT?! Plenty of time for all that, so we discuss Hardee’s, the overconsumption of alcohol, and a few movies we saw for the week. Lots of stuff here so won’t you come sit awhile and listen?
