Episode 287: Devil May Cry 3

Devils always cry thrice right? Especially when the third game in their series is secretly a prequel! We finally wrap up the Devil May Cry trilogy with Geremy’s favorite game in the franchise. Does it live up to the hype? How does it compare to Dark Souls? And is it as cool as we all remember. No it’s not, but listen even though I already answered the question!

Episode 261: Devil May Cry 2

Devils Never Cry! That’s what we learned at the end of Devil May Cry 1, but apparently, between that game and this one, Dante also decided that Devils should never emote. No sarcasm, no quips, no nothing. Also, if you’re a Devil, combat should be super easy and boring and your upgrade tree should be simple and number based. Thank God Devil May Cry 3 is a prequel.

Episode 258: Mega Man 5

Before there was Call of Duty every year, there was Mega Man every year, the shooter of the late 80s/early 90s. What new, exciting Mans will the Blue Bomber face this time? What face will Zach make when he hears about the weakness chart? And who could possibly be behind the wave of robot related crime this year? Listen to find out!

Episode 257: Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Did you ever went fast? Did you ever went so fast that you created a kind of bad game with awful level design that doesn’t actually let you go fast at all? Did you ever went so fast you met an echidna who was kind of a jerk and you felt should really be a playable character for some reason? Did you ever went so fast you started to realize maybe Sonic was never good at all and Sonic 2 was just a huge fluke? In this weeks episode, we went fast.

Episode 226: Mega Man III

More grey lemons than you can toss a game brick at! Apparently all the gameboy games are Rockman World, making me wonder why all the GB ports of games are their own worlds. At any rate, join the Man Mega on his quest to overthrow the somewhat confusing hodgepodge of bosses from 3 and 4, and to the final castle. Also, suddenly appearing monsters over pits and just-barely-taller-than-your-shortest-jump-ceiling-spikes to pad out the gameplay!

Episode 224: Devil May Cry

You know game that starts with using a motorcycle as a kick booster is going to be extreme. However, detective/demon hunter Dante is quickly whisked to the beginning of Resident Evil Island, where he proceeds to fight with his darkest demons: camera angles. Thankfully, the developers realized what they were doing about halfway through the game, so he starts to actually kick ass. And fill dark souls with light.

Episode 170: Floating Heads [Mega Man X2]

Fighting robots are cool and more of them must be cooler, right?  The Maverick Hunter is back again to take on some... interesting bosses.  Sponges have always been pretty menacing.  Those spiky whips are definitely dangerous, and it looks like an ostrich learned some sweet moves, so that's probably challenging.  Also, there are speeder bikes and even more holding Y to charge your laser.



Grapple sponges snag sweet downloads.


Show Notes

 (02:30) Sun Kitty!

(05:30) Look at this railgun rock's majestic beard.

(08:45) Pew!

(09:00) Malasadas and emo kids.

(13:00) Branching paths in Red and Blue.

(16:00) Complaining about Sun and Moon design decisions.  At least there are sweet mullets.

(28:00) Going over our teams.  Also, nami (波) means wave, for the curious.

(32:00) Mimikyu is surprisingly good.

(36:00) Based on the translation of Guzma's honorific to English, which people tell me was spot on.

(38:30) Seriously, Rattata's design sucks.  At least all other variants of it are alright.

(44:00) The height of video games.

(45:00) X2 as a direct sequel to X.

(53:00) For a random sampling of levels, here's an X2 speedrun.

(1:07:00) Mega Man Rank 2!

Episode 156: You Can Charge a Man a Lemon, but You Can't Make Him Eat [Mega Man IV]

Nothing says thrilling trilogy (thrillogy?!) quite like a fourth entry. Warp back into the fray to stop a crazy Russian man from making robots with derivative attacks capable of destroying small portions of the planet. Plus, you get new equipment! Sadly, that equipment is not Roll shooting things for you. Instead, it's a chargeable laser! We'll take it.



If you charge you download, it'll be 3 times as powerful!


Show Notes

(02:00) RWBY: Catgirl Adventures.

(06:15) The nine-tailed fox was always the master of many elements.   Just like our new best friend.

(11:30) Lara doesn't always have the best line delivery, but apparently that's not a problem new to the reboot.

(19:30) Tibia: it's a game, guys.  Kharsek reached level 999, which is the required level to open a door.  My pet theory is that the devs didn't actually put a level limit on it, and it's just permalocked.

(24:00) Human farmer necromancers!  Geremy's dwarves apparently fought zombie Saitama.  It was bound to happen.

(28:30) Dem mans.

(43:30) So... Russian.

(46:00) Charge up a ranking!

Episode 149: Go Away, Goliath [Gargoyle's Quest]

Join us in a world of ghosts and/or goblins that doesn't repeat itself - at least not explicitly. Some of those encounters get kind of samey. Help Firebrand, lord of awkwardly red gargoyles, defeat his dark world foes in what sadly isn't a twist revealing that Arthur is that foe. Shoot fireballs, hover, and cling to walls like some sort of monstrous ninja while also wandering a sparsely populated overworld map that's still somehow rife with random encounters.


You can fire two boomeranging downloads at once!

Episode 141: Air Man's Revenge [Mega Man II]

Everyone loved metal blades, so why not put some of those in greyscale?  It can't be that much of a difference anyway.  Also, we should definitely add a jackhammer because people love construction!  Take a Rush Jet with us to the next installment of Sorta-Porting™ the Mega Man franchise to the Game Boy.  Did we mention metal blades?


Now mashing our last download and our next one together!


Show Notes

 (01:10) Bloody mintberries.

(01:30) You should check out some Smash Flashes.

(05:00) If you haven't played Bravely Default yet and want to master all the classes, just wait until you get a level 9 Conjurer to do it.  They basically added endgame grinding mechanics.

(07:30) Talking about the technical difficulties of cross-platform development.

(14:00) Zach talks about Fates.

(24:30) Tsunderplanes.

(29:00) Go learn about Ultima.  It seems pretty sweetawesome.

Episode 133: A Big 2D Sidescrolling Boss Fighter Guy [Street Fighter 2010]

There comes a time in the life of every brawler/scientist where the science takes a back seat... to JUSTICE! Yes, our most esteemed physicists are often known for equipping themselves with cyborg enhancements and jumping through time/space portals all over the place to combat alien evils. Actually, why don't we currently live in this, the objectively better, of realities? I would love to throw a hadouken with every punch. We can only dream...



Every two downloads enhances your downercut.

 (02:45) Turns out, the secret to d'gons is Stillness.  That stupid Transience strat is weak sauce.

(08:00) Everyone died the week we recorded this.

(13:30) Petalburg Gym's differences at a glance: RS vs. E.

(16:00) A bit of backstory.

Episode 106: Maximum Appreciation [Fighting Street]

Show us your fighting spirit!  This week we discuss a game that hasn't yet been cloned by its original creators in an independent development effort, now with 20% fewer shoryukens!



QCF, QCF, download!


Show Notes

 (03:15) Should really be the Nappa Force.

(06:45) Geremy gives his (apparently uncommon) problems on Chroma Squad.

(17:45) Yooka-Laylee!

(20:00) Konami woes.

(28:30) Quicksilver, the first anthology of the Baroque Cycle, is pretty sweet.

(31:30) Fighting Street!  Such game!

(42:30) Rankings, brodawg!  Renegade for life provides the Ignition Factor to engage in some Elevator Action.

Episode 84: Black And White Lemons [Mega Man GB]

Did you ever wish you could play Mega Man, but hated that stupid Guts Man? Dislike playing games in color? Love getting masses of weapons right at the end of the game? Well, you're in luck! This week, take your lemon cannon with us on the Blue Bomber's first foray onto a mobile platform.



Mirror download! (distinct from a download mirror)


Show Notes

(05:00) Hyrule Warriors is still looking pretty cool.

(10:00) Shadow of Mordor has gotten pretty good reviews.

(17:30) Zach's short review of Fallout: Tactics.

(20:00) Tales from the LCS.

(29:00) Mega Man!  It's a remarkably good game for the first Mega Man game on the GB, though it's pretty hard.

(31:20) The name of the beer is Tsingtao.  This note makes sense in context.

(34:45) Walrus Boss!  Also, if you like the "boss music" it plays, it's Break-A-Leg by RoccoW.  Also, the Fireman game Tyler mentioned.

(40:30) The special weapons seem more useful in this game than any other Mega Man.  Also, the super awesome Mirror Buster.


 Next Time on Last Time, it's Sonic Chaos!  Also, maybe some control.
