We are back and playing to our strengths, which means we are playing total garbage! This game sucks, it's really very terrible and the people who like it are worse. I'll stand by that. I would be ashamed to have my name attached to this game, as a matter of fact, I am ashamed that we even did a show on this game. Miserable, mierable stuff. Shadow W…

Sheer black, peppered with glowing specks of shimmering sand, ebbs into a deep blue.

In the icy froth of the turbulent Atlantic juts a jagged mass, a great thrust upon which the frigid waves may crash. Many a lord hath bade their heaving tribes to hollow the rock of this place, to stack and mortar it into walls and walkways. Towers and parapets. Law and order. "Once a King lived there," they would say, "then he died and the new Kin…

The sky grows grey, thick clouds weaving into a roiling churn. The earth below quakes, cracks of lightning illuimating a distant lone figure. All is silent, even the everpresent chatter of the permahosts– Caligula & Miss Ellanea– and it is then you know: he is coming. The one true prophet of the far flung stars (once removed), Atreides, has come to…

I'm not even sorry about the long intro. Anything is better than talking about this game. Path of Exile is a Diablo-like released October 23rd, 2013 on Microsoft Windows by Grinding Gears Games. Since then it has made its way to consoles (Xbox and PS4). It's a free to play joint and boy does it feel like one. We don't have a lot of positive things …

Look, this isn't a cry for help but it's close. We played The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos (Chicken Edition) because I have a mean trash monster that lives in my head and I have to feed it terrible games. And I will feed it terrible games or I will be cursed to walk this land as some sunken creature. DoN:TAoC(CE) was made by the ghoul…

We recorded this episode a while ago and now it's finally out! We watched Uncharted. It's an alright little joint. Kinda fun, kinda dumb, kinda long. Pop the episode and maybe check out the movie.

We watched this hateful, hateful movie. It's rough. We called Dark Silence better. Shout out to Dark Silence. They the real ones. Don't see this movie, it's not work your time. Judy Greer is a babe, though.

For once our shows name is untrue, this is a highly watchable movie and I love it. It's got Nic Cage. It's got a pig. It rules. Really, go watch it. It's our third highest rated movie of all time. I'm glad I got through this episode without having a Dunkirk argument. Y'all pray for me.

I dunno, man.

They really need to stop. Also, if you're watching Gotham block me.

We watched the Netflix joint Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It was pretty dumb but it was short, like my ex. Unlike my ex, I enjoyed my time spent with this movie. Hit the episode to find out why. Sarah Yarkin is in this movie. She's a total babe. Go check out her other movies, her tunes, etc. It's all under her name. Also, this movie has throwing chains…

This isn't one of those weird sex-pervert Harry Potter shows so if my lore is off blame Grumpkins, she's the Potterperson. We do have Ron on the trap beat, though. What other podcast can say that? This space is reserved for talking about the movie but I don't want to because this movie sucks.

We had communion with the Sonic Gods. They granted us a vision of Hedgehog. We watched Sonic 2. It's pretty lit. Not as good as the first one, but whatever it has Knuckles in it. The incoming Sonic Cinematic Universe is inevitable and it will be better than the DC Clustercuss. Praise the Man Jesus. Send us your Sonic fanfic.…
