Episode 57: Bouncing Around at the Speed of Time

in , , ,

Oooh boy here we go talking about the DC Universe again. We're attempting to being more thunder to this permanant-second-place franchise of characters by injecting them into some wild-ass 16-bit era games. Andrew bounces a rubber child through a magical mini-golf course filled with trees that also have faces, Kyle builds a white hat hacker into AMAZO to fight alongside Digital Mega Man, and Matt discovers that Ecco the Dolphin is the lost Aquaman comic that humanity needed.

FLAVOR TEXT: Marvel Secret Wars

in , , ,

Do you think the people at Marvel back in the 80s would ever have thought that their one-off concept of "make everyone fight each other on an alien planet" would go on to be the single most important thing to happen in the Marvel universe? And that this one storyline would be the thing that retconned, redefined, and completely undid multiple series more than 15 years in the making? This week's FLAVOR TEXT is giving you the entire Secret Wars saga, a notorious storyline that started as a flimsy excuse to sell more toys to being the actual most ambitious crossover event in Marvel history.

Episode 29: In Between Pennywise Thighs

in , ,

The Top Generals of the World’s Military need our help! The R&D department of Debate ThisI Corp. has been tasked with developing a new weaponized vehicle, so naturally we’re going to pull blueprints from games because that is a totally normal thing to do. Instead of boring old helicopters, how about the AV-49 Wasp from Halo? Why drive that tank when you could fire napalm from a reinforced ice cream truck? Bomber planes not providing the ummph you need? This warp star is guaranteed to provide much more explode-ier results!

Episode 22: It Takes Two to Orangutango

in , ,

War. War never changes. Except when the latest Fallout game gets bored with its lack of NPCs and decides to incorporate a hipster gorilla, malicious disembodied hands, and a delusional man shouting about “catching ‘em all.” In addition to our pitch for this new, unofficial DLC, we add to our pantheon of false actor gods.

Not only did we get the release of Smash Ultimate, but we also got a reveal of the first Smash DLC character AND the Ultimate Alliance series returning from the grave AND the first trailer for Avengers 4!
