When we sat down to talk about Cave Story, its indelible impact on the video game industry as well as us as people, and its wonderful music... we didn't know where things would go. We never do!

Hypnospace Outlaw

Feb 23 2025 175 mins  
You've entered a space between spaces, where your restless dreams dance colorful threads upon your mind's ethereal loom. Connection and expression is what has been woven onto the tapestry. A tether, wrapped taut around the fading construct of what once was. I had a buddy named Vinny. He could stuff an entire pizza in his mouth. All without drugs.(00:00) Intro(14:46) Houseke

Spelunky

Also: Seth finally gets a platform to briefly tell you the good news about Aquaria... because where else was he gonna talk about it?(00:00) Intro(16:26) House

Monkey Knockout Gas

Jan 26 2025 189 mins  
We're kicking off 2025 with a bit of a grab-bag episode: answering a whole bunch of your voicemails from over the holiday break and establishing our goals for the show this year.

Wintry Mix

Dec 01 2024 176 mins  
As snow begins to fall in Germany and the temperature drops to something remotely livable in Texas, we've decided to ring in the season with some of our favorite songs that evoke the chill of winter. A mix of tracks for your holiday travel or your very nerdy Christmas party. The forecast has indeed called for a wintry mix - albeit with more asterisks than either of us were probably

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Nov 03 2024 243 mins  
How do we navigate the stormy seas of this divided, modern world? How do we plunder the depths of our own morality and chart the dotted cross-sections of the art we enjoy and the values we hold true? How does Seth know so much about sea shanties (or chanties)? What's up with those shoes that Squitter the Spider wears? We'll answer all of those questions and more in our stupidest, m
