Join us from the opposite end of the dungeon experience as we put on our lich-hats and talk through the finer points of setting up your lair in expectation of pesky would-be adventurers. Frankly, we just think liches are cool and will take any excuse to talk about them.We also get sidetracked by some of those other big DnD topics, including our thoughts on how stale alignments are at this point in the game, Curse of Strahd (the best module?), and NBC's Community sitcom not making that one epi...
Sarah and Buzz take a gander at their first 35 hours with Capcom's Dragon's Dogma 2, the unexpected, but oft wished for, sequel to the cult classic Dragon's Dogma.As it turns out we love/loathe this title and predict it will/won't be taking GotY. It's an incredible/lackluster experience, and one that is absolutely brimming with ingenuity/time-wasting faff. (Don't worry, we have many more positives than negatives (I counted), we just aren't sure if the game is the result of madness or br...
Or at least that's what we are calling the hit game Balatro going forward. Apparently it was the term used for professional jokers or jesters that entertained wealthy folks in ancient Rome. The more you know!Aside from addicting deck builders, Sarah really wants to talk about Delicious in Dungeon, and since it's a great show and we need a second season like yesterday already, we allow it!Elsewhere, we check in with Will as he tenders tokens timidly towards tawdry trinkets at the Gold Saucer i...
Where the kisses are hers and hers and his - Final Fantasy VII!As if any of us could escape the gravity well that has been Final Fantasy VII Rebirth over the past two weeks...so of course we are going to cover more of it and its many, many mini-games.Buzz somehow managed to sink something like 95 hours into Rebirth before switching gears for some Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen ahead of the sequel's release this week.Meanwhile, Sarah decided to try that Outcast - A New Beginning game and is prett...
Take a deep breath of that fresh Grasslands air as we step out into the wide open world that is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. We unpack the massive first two chapters in this episode as we climb radio towers, collect trading cards, and get frustrated at Chadley and Mai's incessant nattering.Try to keep Kalm, as we keep it spoiler free this episode and limit break our plot discussion to chapters 1 and 2 (with minor nods to the overall content of the original Final Fantasy VII).And now to leave yo...
Welcome back adventurers for another exciting dive into the Dunce dungeon. Sarah was unexpectedly stuck on another plane of existence, so that leaves Buzz and Will to reminisce about previous TTRPG experiences and the struggles of finding a solid group to actually play with.We get a little meta this episode, as we talk about the importance of a good session 0, how the best DM/GMs operate, and what can make or break a player's experience at the table.Of course, we also manage to chat about Fin...
We tune in for the latest Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase and express our sincere gratitude to Nintendo for bringing us a boatload of trailers and release dates...for software we can look forward to on other platforms. (Like, if they are doing an upgraded re-release of SMTV, why wouldn't I get it on current gen hardware?)Then, do your best impression of the Frizz and shout "Seat belts everyone!", as Buzz takes us for a spin with "Pacific Drive" from Ironwood Studios and Kepler Interactive. ...
It's the episode that almost wasn't! Not to be too dramatic about it, but we were plagued with audio issues during both our recording and editing. Find it in your heart to give us a bit of a break on this one.As for the actual content of the episode, Buzz seems to rant incessantly about Persona 3 Reload, which is a darn good remake but could have included a bit more of the lessons learned form P3P (we promise Sarah was interjecting with thoughts and questions during this segment originally).T...
Grab a torch and your explorer's pack and join us in kicking off our new sub-series (spin-off, mini-series?) Dunce (Dunce) Dungeon!We leave the dice in their box to do a bit of table talk about various Dungeons & Dragons elements. We wanted something iconic for this episode, and since Buzz had to spin up a Wizard for another campaign recently, it only felt right to start with the character class that claims mastery over the arcane.Take a short rest while we talk about disintegrating your ...
If I could turn back time / If I could find a way ... for us to have less audio issues this episode. Despite being plagued by recording troubles, we manage to scrape together two whole thirds of an episode just for you!Even though Sarah's audio is lost to TIME, Buzz and Will manage to finally pick apart what the phrase "Pokemon with guns" really means as they look into the recent Palworld early access content.Then we flip the hourglass over as we delve into another entry in the TIMEless Princ...
We take serious Umbreon with the two latest Pokemon DLCs on the Switch. As it turns out, sometimes putting content behind a paywall can be a Gastly affair, especially when that content is a bit Trubbish when compared to other games in the series.On the Plusle side, we at least get to take a trip to the Platinum Corner and talk about Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. And we didn't even have to master a mahjong minigame this time.Games we natter about this episode include Pokemon: Scarlet and Violet,...
In another completely original episode format, we sit down and look ahead at the old dusty trail of gaming in 2024. While Q1 looks to be chock full of big titles to satisfy the RPG appetite, what does the rest of the roadmap have in store?Even though our futures remain shrouded in mystery, we manage to drum up some titles we are looking forward to and temper our expectations for some new console announcements.Games we imagine will be great include: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Re...
We've got a real web-head on our hands in this episode, as Buzz is joined by Porter to explore the tangled web that was Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Actually, it' s not all that tangled, but rather a delicately woven and generally outstanding game if you haven't played it yet.We also start thinking with portals as we discuss our hands-on experience with Sony's PlayStation Portal. You had better hope your home WiFi is up for the challenge.Games we lament in this episode include: Marvel's Spider-Man ...
Co-hosts were asked to prepare a top ten for the games they played in 2023, and not only did they cheat on some of their answers, but they only managed to scrounge up a measly five entries! In a year as packed as 2023 no less!Worry not though, Buzz not only came with ten solid entries, and the most accurate takes out of the lot, but he even had some honorable mentions, so perhaps the universe really does work to balance itself out.By the way, Buzz wrote this description if you couldn't tell.W...
Join us as we enter the denoument of the 2023 Game Awards and try to wade through the awkwardness that is celebrity culture presenting awards to people in the entertainment technology industry.In this episode, we'll show you fun and new positions to help you get over the fact they gave more time to the No Man's Sky guy than they did the developers actually winning awards, all the while paying homage to the one true icon of video games: Gonzo.And while we lay a few flowers on the grave of E3 (...
In this star-studded, red carpet of an episode we dive headfirst into the categories for the 2023 Game Awards... and somehow find a way to give every award to Baldur's Gate 3. I mean, have you played it? It's like really, really good.Join us in asking this year's smash hits "Who are you wearing?" as we barely contain our excitement to watch a bunch of commercials and "ironically" shout "Take my money!" (ugh)Games we stew over include Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil 4, Alan Wake II, Spider-Man ...
It's just like Christmas in July, but for people who were too lazy to edit their episode in October. Sarah kicks us off with some discussion about cozy and indie horror games. Meanwhile, Buzz wants pictures of Spider-Man refusing to salute the Wakandan embassy on his desk right now! And Will recounts how someone else playing Resident Evil on the PSOne landed him his very own SNES.But fret not about timeliness, as we were a bit precognitive and decided to talk about the fragile natu...
Two thirds of the dunces attempt a serious tone and try to appeal to a more mature audience as they get gritty with Final Fantasy XVI.No, but seriously, Buzz and Will do a deep dive on their initial impressions of Final Fantasy XVI on the PS5, including their thoughts on the overall gameplay, the shift in genre from RPG to Action-RPG, and how well the game manages to convey its heavier subject matter.The dunces try to avoid major spoilers but be warned that plot points up to the first big eik...
In this absolutely "eikonic" episode, the dunces recount tales of daring and damnation in Diablo IV! However, it's really just Buzz wondering what the heck Will and his partner are doing in the town's hub all the time.Buzz and Will also "summon" up the energy to discuss the demo for the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XVI, which in turn leaves Sarah a bit shook up. I mean, honestly, one hundred and twenty US dollars for a dog plush toy! And it doesn't come out until January 2024! (Take my mo...
