We've yet to see the true extent of Jonas Venture's bastardry, but this episode gives us some of our first peeks. The Venture Compound sits atop a massive tunnel complex where forgotten experiments have laid fallow, and it isn't until a drilling mishap that Rusty learns what's going on right beneath his feet. Can the Order of the Triad save him and Brock?

Knuckles' Chaotix is the only game that could possibly embody the sheer awkwardness of the Sega 32X. It stars Knuckles and his shitty friends as they attempt to stop Dr. Robotnik from doing something I guess. The problem is, Knuckles is bound to his co-op partner by a stretchy energy band, which makes doing "Sonic" stuff impossible. But they still expect you to do Sonic stuff.

This is a different kind of episode for us, because instead of talking about one game in depth, we're looking back at all of the non-Souls games we've covered for the show and asking ourselves two questions: Would we recommend you play these today? And what element, mechanical or aesthetic, would you like to see someone take from each game and use elsewhere?
This first part goes through all of the games we talked about on the original run of the show, so:

The Stanley Parable is a short game with a lot to say about games. You play as Stanley, an office worker with a pointless job who finds himself being ordered around by an omniscient narrator. By deciding whether or not to obey him, you stumble into stories that critique and explore the nature of choice in games, and choice in real life.
Because this is primarily a comedy game, we recommend playing the Stanley Parable before listening to this episode, because we will ruin the jokes for y...

It's rare to be surprised by a sci fi twist, and this AAA action adventure genuinely surprises. Throw in some engaging combat and not even an electronic T-Rex sized barrel of bloat can hold it back.
Thanks Doug!

Evan looks for a change of scenery, and finds a woman who is more complicated than he was bargaining for. This second episode by the directing duo of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead does the seemingly impossible and mixes romance with Lovecraftian horror, and if I said any more here it would ruin the many surprises that are in store for you.

Champions of Zulula is an amateur DOS fighting game where you play as any number of champions from strange, fantastical races like "Squid" and "Ostrich" who have gathered in Zulula to fight for supremacy. The game isn't very good, so instead we spend time clowning on ridiculous commercials from Gary's youth.
We discuss three Eagleman Insurance commercials in this episode. Here's the first, 2021-06-29 14:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post
Here we have one of the more unfortunate episodes of the Venture Bros., where the family heads to the rain forest and meets one of Rusty's old acquaintances. What ensues is some really weird, scattered, and icky sex and gender stuff that's also just not very funny!

A divine agent has gone rogue, taking the sacred texts with him and throwing the whole world into chaos. It's up to you to find him and stop the crisis in the most mind-numbing way possible.
Also, we talk about that time a car crashed into Gary's house at 3am.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about a bunch of older games and do a Free Play Multiplayer.
This month's special topic is a discussion about RPG progression. What kinds of character upgrades are satisfying, which ones aren't, and why has there been a broader trend of games getting more bloated with bad RPG systems?
We also answer your questions, and read your responses to June's games: Hotline Miami, The Witness, and Super Mario 3D World.

Gwen Static joins us to talk about the disastrous results of Rusty trying to make a quick buck by inviting kids to the Venture Compound. The Venture Bros. takes place in a world where "boy adventurer" is a possible career path, and scores of kids are ready and willing to hand over money to attend a day camp run by their hero... even if those "kids" are Murderous Moppets helping their boss arch on the sly.
Special thanks to Joshua ...

Dried fruit almost had a home in the NES in this mediocre platformer published by Capcom. The problem is, the popular California Raisins commercials, where sentient fruit performed Motown classics, cost more to produce than they generated in sales. So the California Raisins went away, and this game didn't see the light of day until recently.
