Podcasting Day: Beat 'Em Up with Rusty Shackles 🌭
Added 2022-09-21 12:00:08 +0000 UTC
In arcades, as in life, whenever you ever see 2 to 4 men punching their way through mohawks, you are guaranteed a good time. It's Dogg Zzone 9000 Day, bad dudes, and we welcomed our very own website's illustrator, Rusty Shackles, to discuss the greatest of video game genres: '90s beat 'em ups.
Like getting you and your brother's girlfriend back from the gang who stole her, the rules of our beat 'em up discussion were simple. If you want to play along at home, here are the controls:
You can listen here or wherever you get podcasts, but if you're a real shadow warrior Patron, you can listen to the bonus podcast where Rusty and Brockway try to identify a series of increasingly insane video game quotes. If you want to avoid spoilers for the main show, don't look at these kickass arcade flyers for our badass top choices! Like us on Review, and Double us on Dragon! Thanks!

I got pumped when Rusty mentioned Ninja Baseball Bat-men in the beginning cos its my all-time fave but sad it wasn't further discussed. but this is such a rich field, no way everything could be covered. AVP is legit incredible so no cause for complaint really. NB Bat-men is insane and fucking rules though. If you don't know, look into it

2022-09-21 14:41:40 +0000 UTCIn Captain Commando you have a third-rate superhero with a name an eight year old would come up with, a mummy that fights with knives, baby in a robo-suit, and a ninja. It's like something an awesome mental patient would come up with.

2022-09-21 14:19:57 +0000 UTCThe fact that the AvP movies are such trash is astounding considering the fact that they had not only a good comic to work from, but literally the easiest assignment ever. I'm sure I'll work through my despair more in therapy.
