For our season finale this year 3lleBelle joins us to talk about how not all illness' are front and center. She explains just how it effects her and the relationships she has with content creation.
Stepping into something new can be scary but luckily for us there's StephofAnime to help you through it. She joins us along with insaneintherain who talks about his experience getting to know the anime community from a musician's perspective.
Back for his 5th appearance and General and my 100th Episode we deep dive straight into the power of words. Dr Mick takes us on a journey through his discipline tackling some very intriguing thoughts on the words we use every day that prevent us from becoming better people.
We revisit an earlier topic to check our time management skills and see the fruits of our labor as we begin to round out the year. There are always things you can do to maximize your time and really make an impact in what you aim to accomplish.
From the same era and play style as Doom another game stood out enough to net its own franchise off of it's controversy. Wolfenstein has an interesting history along with having one of the best reboots boasting high scores by many magazines.
Point and Click is where our journey takes us this week with THEE most controversial one of it's genre. It inspired a whole new generation of "naughty" games for the public to be upset about.
You can't talk controversy without bringing up Mortal Kombat. This game made it all the way to congress for it's absolutely brutal finishing moves. It spawned an entire franchise and is still going strong to this day. Let's look into what spun this game and how it survived.
One of my favorite series of all time is also one of my favorite games I've played in the past few years. South Park has always been known as the guys who don't pull punches and because of that they've built quite a reputation for being controversial. Time to dive deep into what this game meant for people and how South Park pushed the envelope yet again.
Sometimes you have to learn to cut loose, to let that inner demon fly it's flag high. That's what Postal 2 was all about and boy were people split when this game released. From glowing reviews to golden showers, this game had all of that and Gary Coleman. Tune in to find out what it all means.
This game hits a personal spot for FlibbityFlam, an early adopter of this title, dressed in a motorcycle helmet and goggles, it was a main staple of content in the beginning that really had no substance at all. We've all heard the stories, one of thee worst games on release BUT also has quite the redemption arc.
We continue our controversial series with Carmageddon. Originally for MS-Dos this game took the scene by storm by offering the players points for running over pedestrians. See how many points we give it and the inherent backlash people rushed to give it at the time.
This game is a throw back for both of us. In the new age era of video games having an "Adult Only" rating basically destroyed your chances of being a successful game. Except for Manhunt. Prepare the soap because this one gets dirty fast as we deep dive into why this game became one of the most infamous even by todays standards.
As we continue our series of controversies we dive into our first video game one. Treasure Quest had a very unique marketing ploy of offering anyone who bought the game and BEAT it that they would win one million bucks. Did someone win or was it all just a ploy to get people to buy their game? Tune in to find out.
We fall down the conspiracy hole on this one for hopefully a mini series based around different controversies that were "covered up". Disney had a full fledged water park, one that lasted for 20+ years in fact. Don't remember it? Neither did we so in this episode we dive into the mystery of this water parks premature closure.
There are a ton of apps out there and being in this industry we get the opportunity sometimes to be the early adopters of these. We always hope that they'll blow up but so far it's yet to be seen and clubhouse is no different. You all remember clubhouse right? RIGHT?! Oh, well lets talk about it then.
What better way to wrap up our hidden gems series than with one of the biggest hidden gem consoles out there. These consoles had such a plethora of great games it's hard to choose which ones people may have actually missed so join us on the finale and see which ones we chose to show off.
Our 2nd to last episode in the hidden gem series! We cover the Genesis and the Game gear in this action packed episode of games thrown to the wayside. These consoles were power houses in their day and had extensive libraries to go through so let us do some of the work for ya.
Oh dear sweet polygons, how the first iterations of your glory still have such a special place in our hearts. These two consoles have EXTENSIVE libraries of some of the best games around. They still hold up to this day in our eyes and we go over some of the ones you probably didn't hear about.
The greatest console ever to exist and General and myself are here to cover it. No it's not the dreamcast (but that will come later). We TEAR into this "gaming" console and go over a ton of the "games" that were released and our experiences with them.
We finish out the hidden gem series of Nintendo with our picks for the Wii then dive immediately into OLD OLD school with our favorites from MSDOS. This episode is so filled with nostalgia it's difficult to even DESCRIBE it so just go LISTEN to it instead.
