Watch Out for Fireballs!

Watch Out for Fireballs! is a game club podcast, focused on retro and non-current games. Every week, we play a game in its entirety, then discuss its merits and flaws at length. Most episodes begin with a short sketch, and we're pretty liberal about keeping tangents in. But it ultimately comes down to: Why do we like (or dislike?) this game.

WOFF 458: Diablo II

What makes a hero? Their story? Their powers? No. It's their gear. And this is the story of how you found your gear. Diablo II is a gear-looting, randomized kill 'em all simulator. You must stop the evil Diablo by pillaging the most evil-killing loot imaginable.

457: Balatro

What's more universal than a deck of cards? Balatro takes the basic foundation of a game of poker and twists it into one of the most imaginative and engaging roguelikes this decade. Join us as we indulge in the wonderful design that make this game one of the best of the year, no contest.

456: Toonstruck

Can you capture the magic of Who Framed Roger Rabbit in a point and click adventure game? Combing FMV and cartoon animation, Toonstruck plays with cartoon logic as it's main sense of humor. The game itself is somewhat jokefree, weirdly.

453: The Last Door Season 1

Tiny pixels, books that can only be read in the dark, crows! These are only some of ghoulish terrors that one may find in The Last Door - Season 1. Before Blasphemous, The Game Kitchen showed us their vision of a lo-fi point and click adventure game where we play the role of a Lovecraftian protagonist, poking at the corners of the world we do not yet understand.

450: City of Heroes

Wouldn't it be nice to run around and pretend like you had the superpowers you always read about in comic books? City of Heroes takes the pen and paper daydreams of children and translates them to a much-beloved cult MMO. Does it stand the test of time? Or are you better off just fucking around with the character creator?

449: Super Bomberman 2

Bomberman is simple, and Bomberman is forever… even if his heyday as the mainstay of multiplayer party games is mostly in the past. This week’s episode is a look at the series as a whole, with particular attention toward Super Bomberman 2, the height of the series on SNES. This episode will self destruct after you listen to it.

You didn't illustrate very well why certain groups have to have virtuous descriptions, contrary to the themes of the entire series, yet others don't

I hate how much you really sounded like the Constant when you said "Ms. Burnwood." Eerie 😬

I stumbled on this by searching for podcast episodes mentioning FFX and I'm really enjoying what these gentlemen have to say about my favorite game! I remember when I got my PS2 and I bought X-2 because I was a 12yo girl and there were a bunch of cool girls on the box. lol. When I realized it was the 2nd installment of X, I immediately halted playing and ran to the store to get X. I have played both several times, original and HD remaster, and they still fill my heart with the joy I remember feeling with my first playthrough. I'm glad I could listen to some more perspectives on this game. I disagree with all the hate on the character outfit choices, but that's ok. lol. My husband makes fun of my fashion sense anyway!
