Description
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.

Stealth games! We've been trying to figure out how to make games anti-action for a long time, and before we ever got to Sekiro, we had a little game called Tenchu Stealth Assassins. My, how the genre has evolved.
How can a movie also be a game? The sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror tries to answer that with the experimental Bandersnatch, which weirdly feels archaic in many ways even as it tries to break storytelling boundaries. There is some neat stuff in here, but does it add up to anything more than cheap twists?
1Boss Fights! Who needs them? Not us. But the video game industrial complex sure seems addicted to them.
Upcoming Schedule:
February:
* Black Mirror - Bandersnatch
* Tenchu Stealth Assassins
* Skald: Against the Black Priory
March:
* Hammerfight
* Indika
* Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven
Genre defining, boundary pushing, console selling; Super Mario 64 had it all. One of the defining games of the Nintendo 64 and of the early 3D era left a huge legacy behind, but we can only really talk about it in full if we go back to where it all began. There's a letter, a girl, and a promise of cake. This is definitely not a trap.

Do Wizards make good cops? Well, "good" cops. How about, would Wizards be efficient cops? That's the question XCOM-inspired Tactical Breach Wizards aims to answer. They can arrest people with magic! Too bad the criminals have magic too.
How big is a game? How small is it? These questions are a matter of perspective, and Superluminal is here to teach you about perspective.
Casltevania evolves into the nest generation. This is the last hurrah of the Classic-vanias. Demanding platforming, simple progression. Dare we say we prefer them over the RPG-vanias at this point?
We did a party to raise money for charity. We stayed up all night even though we're so old. We did raise that money, though.
Time to hack some side-quests and tech some gigs. We do a TON of hanging out with Johnny Silverhand and decide our fate.
What's the worst musician that could hijack your brain? Honestly, you could probably do a lot worse than Johnny Silverhand.
Do you have what it takes to survive the streets of Night City? After all was said and done, what kind of game did Cyberpunk 2077 end up being? We loved the Witcher 3 and have been eyeing this one for a while. Come for the aesthetics, stay for the graphics, be astounded by some strange design choices. It's a huge game, so there's plenty to like.
In every RPG, you have some shitty friends. What are the best of this shitty friends? If you could only take two to five shitty friends to a desert island to companion you, who would you choose?
Really? Quina from FF9? Okay...
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.
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.
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.
Let's travel down memory lane and explore some of greatest non-hits of the WOFF Catalog.
Who wouldn't want to explore the off-limits areas of an amusement park? Okay, what if I told you it was a haunted amusement park. Crow Country is a bite-sized dopamine capsule of a horror game. A wonderful showcase of what makes the genre fun. Run, don't walk, to play it.

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. Join us, won't you?

Oh, what ridiculous adventures are Mac and Charlie getting into this time? Down at the bottom of the ocean, there are ships to salvage and eldritch monstrosities to gaze upon. Join us as we take a journey down, deep, deep into the sea.

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!
What an intro! You guys!
This was the first episode of this podcast I listened to, after finding out about it from Retronauts, and it will be the last. They should change the name to Watch Out for Toxic Podcast Hosts. One guy, I didn't bother to learn their names, was insanely difficult and hostile about this game, to the point it seemed like his co-host was afraid of saying something to set him off. I listened for probably an hour and it was mostly the toxic guy ranting off things he absolutely hates about this "dog sh*t" game (his words, not mine) while the other guy just said "Yep," "Mhm," and "Uh-huh," the whole time. The other guy actually liked the game, but agreed with Mr. Toxic, probably for the sake of getting him to shut up sooner. This behavior is NOT a good way to rope new people in to listen to your podcast.

One of the best episodes, hands down.
I don't understand the defense of censorship in anime
I love this episode, and am so glad that you released these on the public feed. But someone keeps getting Skype notifications half way through and it makes me check my phone Everytime.
This episode was pretty surreal. You comment that theres a few re-used jokes, but then go on an laugh about all these funny new jokes in the missions.. that are ALL re-used soundbites. There was extremely little new dialouge in this one, and most of it is lidted from the golden era episodes. Im not sure if that was a joke from your side, but it felt like I had fallen into an episode of The Scary Door where no one one the most iconic Simpsons lines.
What part of around the world is racist? I feel as if I’m mIssing something.
"There's only one track that anyone knows from V". Um. Excuse me? Dear Friends is a fan favorite and is in pretty much every FF concert, as well as a thousand remixes. Home, Sweet Home is one often in the top five of the songs from the franchise. I know youve been rushing through the games lately, but come on.
Man, lately the playthroughs comes off as really rushed. Take some more time to do epidodes, we can handle the wait! :)
Finally we can get out of here, stalker!
Perhaps the BEST D&D RPG ever made.
