That Guy's a Maniac

We re-talk about Hallo Kitty being a British Schoolgirl, the symbiosis between jellycat and penguins and the pokemon Mantyke. Richie takes on Metal Kart 3 for the SNES in That Guy’s A Miltank. We then try to remember anything about video games. 

Turnips, j k rowling spoiling super mario bros 2, sexual dimorphism and what do Swedes call swedes?

This week, we try to make sense of the goat phenomenon. We're comparing the villagers of Animal Crossing to the outright chaos of Goat Simulator and the dark comedy of Cult of the Lamb. We'll also debate some classic gaming mysteries: Which goat has the highest HP? And, most importantly, does a GTA car count as a 'mount' in the purest sense of gaming taxonomy? Tune in for the answers you didn't know you needed.

We talk mankey, monkeys, angry monkeys, Primeape, Annihilape, etymology, getting angry, anime, TCG cards and peek, everyone is a Garchomp, Tomb Raider, pigs and monkeys in games- pigs and monkeys in starfox, there are no pigs in Resident Evil, super monkey ball, monkey from timesplitters, monkeys in minecraft, pig cops in Duke Nukem.

This week we have never really looked at Klingklang. Is it a wheel? How many gears are there? Where is the face? Cunzy1 1 tests his knowledge of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and the maniacs talk gear in games. Gear gating, cosmetics and the realistic Chariot based Gran Turismo game we never knew we needed.

We talk haunted castles this week. Sand castles. Pokémon sand castles. Can Richie be this week’s maniac with questions about Ghost Master(mind) and we talk in ever decreasing circles about horror in movies, horror in games and classifications thereof. Spooooky or wot?

It’s Horsea folks! But not really. We quickly get too excited to talk about our first impressions of Pokémon Legends ZA (mild spoiler warning) and then take a bit of an odd tangent talking about male pregnancy in video games and we add our first items onto the TGAM scale of sadbad. 

This week les maniacs are all about that wooden hill y’all. Yes we’re talking about sleep, the pokémon Hypno, Pokémon Sleep and ummmm Silent Hill?

We’ll be honest readers. We didn’t keep good notes. Apparently this episode includes: sumo, Marvel, Sad Sack (Raggy Dolls), the bible, Ganryu and echidna, Smash bros lore and punching bag, NERF arena Blast, sand bags (more generally) and then most cryptically: brine. 

Who’s that Podcast? It’s TGAM the Podcast! We’re back for Season Six. We’ve got new games. There’s a new gimmick. Cunzy is our first That Guy’s a Mastermind™ contestant. This week we talk about the Pom Poko suit from Super Mario, snails, first partner Pokémon, frogs in video games and what would the Final Fantasy VII characters be if they were D&D classes.

Back when we were pondering the ideas for Season 5, I decided to hit the record button... You can hear us discuss what and how we planned to approach Season 5. A litttle peek behind the curtain.

Season 5 is done (mostly) and we have our epic time span traversing final episode for your ears!

Realistic games, games that are life sims, hames that look real... We talk it all and more, way more, more that you will care to listen to

We’re 90, 90 very very 90, it’s 1990. In video games. Kinna.

We look back on the year 1990. Forget to talk about video games. Next week maybe.
