Best Quality Vacuum 6: Crazy Handful of Nothin'

Here we reach the high point of Season One of Breaking Bad, with Walt and Jesse continuing to cook so much that they have trouble moving enough product. Which would be a good problem to have if it didn't involve getting in bed with a psychopath named Tuco. Meanwhile, Hank starts sniffing around Walt's high school chemistry lab looking for his mystery cook, and ends up ruing the life of an improbably saintly custodian.

Watch Out for Fireballs! 380: Shadowrun: Hong Kong (Part 1)

"Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good" month continues with the slightly worse but worthy follow up to the masterpiece Shadowrun Dragonfall. We've arrived in Hong Kong at the request of our adopted father but not all is what it seems.

Adpatation Decay 69: Elf Bowling: The Movie

Welcome to hell. This month we're talking about Elf Bowling: The Movie, sometimes subtitled "The Great North Pole Elf Strike", which is senseless because no strike actually happens. Did you know that Santa and his brother Dingle were bloodthirsty pirates before Santa became Santa? I bet you didn't, you buffoon! Luckily this movie is here to give you an education, however meandering, tasteless, and ugly it might be.

Abject Suffering 483: Kiss: Psycho Circus - The Nightmare Child

First off, it's podcast malpractice that we didn't make this entire episode about the video for the KISS song "Psycho Circus". That's on us. We weren't even that distracted by the ho-hum Lithtech shooter that is KISS colon Psycho Circus colon The Nightmare Child. We just got very wrapped up in the concept of KISS itself, which basically amounts to Insane Clown Posse for boomers. This is also part two of our in...

Bonfireside Chat 239: Lake of Rot

Get out your hip waders, because we're taking the plunge into the big neon-pink stew that is the Lake of Rot. This area is a bizarre roadblock on the way to the conclusion of Ranni's quest, and there's little in the game that makes reference to what this place is. The Blind Swordsman sealed the God of Rot somewhere down here, and that's all we know. But there are fun details to talk about, from the style of play this forces you to adopt, to the development history that led to us getting the z...

Watch Out for Fireballs! 379: Torment: Tides of Numenera (Part 2)

This week continues the Last Castoff's journey, as they continue seeking out answers for what the Changing God was up to with his resonance chamber... The one we crashed into like a big ol' meteor. We head through the Valley of Dead Heroes and the Sanctuary at Miel Avest before ending up at The Bloom, a city within a dimension-spanning organism.

We talk about the rest of the game, highlighting as many side quests as we found, and end up discussing how this game measures up to its predec...

Exquisite Suffering 154: Rocket Knight Adventures

Rocket Knight Adventure is a good game. Its graphics are big and bold, the platforming has a good amount of variety, and the combat is flawed but not worthy of a dragging. So we talk about the game's merits instead, before turning to the question: If humans worked on Gremlins rules, could we find love?

Everything to Guppy 884: Strawman - Dad's Note - Sausage - Tainted Eve

This week's episodes: Strawman, Dad's Note, Sausage, and Tainted Eve.

Abject Suffering 482: Bad Day on the Midway

The image of a person with an eyeball for a head is very good. That's the nice thing we'll say about the Residents. But Bad Day on the Midway underlines some fundamental problems we have with them, since it's unpleasant to look at and listen to, and not to a very interesting artistic result. You poke around a demented carnival amusement park learning about mentally ill people, killers, and racists... and then it just ends, regardless of how you play. More power to you if you're down with the ...

Bonfireside Chat 238: Nokstella, Eternal City

This week we resume Ranni's path, heading through Renna's Rise and finding that she has turned herself into a much smaller doll. After we help her fashion an acorn into a house, we head our third and final Eternal City, Nokstella, on the hunt for the Baleful Shadow... A wolf-man assassin sent by the Two Fingers to halt Ranni's mutiny.

Best Quality Vacuum 5: Gray Matter

This week we learn more about Walt's past when we meet Elliot and Gretchen Schwartz, his former colleagues and business partners. The problem? Walt left the company, because of pride, and the Schwartzes became extremely rich. Now, Elliot is offering to pay for Walt's treatment, and once again, Walt's pride will cause things to go horribly. Additionally, Badger shoots Jesse with a crossbow.

We would like to thank Gwen S...

Watch Out for Fireballs! 378: Torment: Tides of Numenera Part One

What is the value of one game?

There are big shoes to fill and then there are comically huge shoes that can be made into houses for little old ladies. That was the job of Tides of Numenera, an excellent short story compilation that fails to capture the emotional resonance of it's predecessor. Here us talk about the generalities and Sagus Cliffs in this episode before hitting the end game next week!

Watch Out for Fireballs! Dispatch Roundup: Q4 2022

In this quarterly special episode, we gather up some leftover questions and topic prompts and answer them so they'll stay answered. Topics include overwhelming games, the ethics and effects of emulation, lonely games, and many, many more.

Abject Suffering 481: Seymour Goes to Hollywood

Who is Seymour, and where is he going? What does he want when he gets there? We can only answer one of these questions, but we barely care. Seymour catfished us, saying it was a game about a little potato man, only for us to learn that it's actually another horrible Dizzy game with the serial numbers filed off.

Hey folks! It's time to write in with your responses on Ranni's questline in Elden Ring.

Bonfireside Chat 237: Deeproot Depths (Part 2)

We last left off in the Nameless Eternal City, casting our eyes upward to where the roots of the depths could take us. Today, we climb those roots and find ourselves in the shadow of Godwyn, the first of the demigods to die. And there, we resolve the fates of some other Tarnished, namely Fia and D's twin, in order to gain a new mending rune and open a possible ending for the game.

Days of Future Cast 339: I Would Immediately Sacrifice Colossus

We're back X-Friends! This week we're covering a slight three issues of Uncanny X-Force (8-10). Apologies for my voice on the podcast, I finally got the virus that's been plagueing the world for the last three years.

Watch Out for Fireballs! Dispatch: Oops! All Questions 2

We had intended to make this month's topic VR, but instead we said almost everything we wanted to say during the Half-Life: Alyx episode. So, instead, we take even more of your questions before reading your thoughts about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, SUPERHOT, and Half-Life: Alyx.

This episode's highlighted project is Waystar Corncob, a podcast that's about both I Think You Should Leave and Succession. And Gary was on...

Unfilmable 45: Chernobyl

How does an RBMK nuclear reactor blow up? We spend this extra-long episode of Unfilmable trying to find out, as we watch HBO's Chernobyl miniseries. While not categorized as a work of horror, it's impossible to not be terrified by what is shown. And the way the real-life events are fictionalized here and turned into a narrative pulls not only from horror film, but goes all the way back to Lovecraft and weird fiction more generally. So watch the miniseries if you haven't already, and come list...
