Every Wednesday the folks at Enemy Slime get together and talk in-depth about video games, life, and love, but mostly video games.
It’s time once more dear friends to join our fellowship of um…fellows, as they traipse into the highly politicized town of New Jacksonburg, and its nearby putrid Swamp-town Stinkburg (or whatever it was called). Will Balsa Basswood answer for his many crimes? Can trees be resurrected? All the definitive and most scientific answers are here, […]
Well howdy there y’all. We’re back once again with the exciting conclusion to last week’s roleplaying session. Will the party escape the ghostly apparition of the Checkered Knight? Will that knight whose name I can’t spell be brought to justice? Well all those answers and more are waiting for you when you press play on […]
Everyone’s favorite adventurers are back. Well not all of them, but most of them! Oh, your only favorite was Balsa Basswood? Well…hmmmm… Come listen anyway as a quest to find the lovable cabinet maker quickly goes south. There’s murder, ghosts, and world class espionage all just waiting for your meaty ear holes.
We’re back to business as usual this week. Well…sort of. It sounds like a lot of you enjoyed our deviation in subject matter last episode, and we have every intention of returning to our ongoing roleplaying adventures. But this week presents us with the rare opportunity to talk about a game all the participants have […]
I’ll be candid and just say that after 228 episodes of this podcast, I recently found myself in pretty dire need of a change of pace. If you’re a longtime listener perhaps you feel the same way. Long story short, I’ve talked our gang into trying something new. This week we’re deviating from our normal […]
Well hello there, it’s been a little bit since we’ve seen each other. How have you been? Oh we’ve been very well, just playing a little bit of Apex Legends, Wargroove, and Shantae. Oh but then there is Jay who has also had the colossal misfortune of playing Kingdom Hearts 3…. Sometimes no news is […]
Our game of the year coverage is still somewhat in the air but that doesn’t stop the Enemy Slime Podcast from returning in the new year of our lord 2019. In this episode we speculate about some games on the horizon. What Metacritic score will Death Stranding get if it ever comes out? Lucio has […]
Do you like dancing? Would you pay 90 dollars to dance as your favorite sexy anime teen? Well Jay will happily tell you why you shouldn’t do that. Or should? I don’t know man, do whatever feels right.
Well we’ve been off for a few weeks and have something of a backlog of games to potentially talk about. What did we do instead? Spent all our time talking about furries and the horrifying new Sonic The Hedgehog movie. Bon Appetit!
Honestly if Blizzard hadn’t messed up in one of the most profound ways imaginable I probably wouldn’t have even known that Blizzcon happened. And I certainly wouldn’t have planned on having a podcast that’s almost entirely devoted to it. But here we are. Do you have a phone? Blizzard needs to know. Would you like […]
It’s a…well not particularly spooky podcast this week in spite of it being Halloween. We spend a healthy amount of time reminiscing on trick or treating as kids and wondering where society went so deeply and profoundly wrong. Speaking of deeply and profoundly wrong, wait til you hear Jay’s thoughts on Red Dead Redemption 2! […]
Rockstar caused quite a ruckus in the last couple weeks when Dan Houser mistakenly mentioned how hard the company was working to get Red Dead Redemption 2 pushed out the door. So this week we spend a little time examining the ever-derided concept of crunch time in the games industry. Can you make a great […]
Ah the joys of fall. Good games are on the release by the week and this week both Jay and Lucio have spent some time with some promising titles. Lucio tells us a little about the Fist Of The North Star / Yakuza crossover. Though we’ve discussed the game before this is the first time […]
Great news everyone! Telltale Games went out of business! I mean, it’s not great news for the hundreds of people they fired without severance or benefits. That parts a bummer, but focusing on that detail really undermines the really important thing: we were right! For years we’ve been saying Telltale’s product was inferior and their […]
Spider-Man is here! You’re playing it, everyone on your Playstation friends list is playing it. Or maybe you don’t have a Playstation and you’re just fuming about how you can’t play it. Well if you want to live vicariously through us now’s your chance to listen to what we think of it. Also, Michael preserves […]
There’s a deluge of game releases right around the corner, so there’s a chance this is our last podcast for a little while where we can just shoot the breeze. And boy what a breeze it is, we cover everything from donating to charities, to adopting senior pets, to that mysterious man at the “store” […]
Maps, hobo nickels, the Iranian revolution. We’ve got a lot to unpack on this week’s remarkably off-topic podcast. How do you connect Argentina to Star Wars? It’s easier than you think. Come do some mental gymnastics with us on this exciting episode. Oh we played Graveyard Keeper too..
We’re back from a brief hiatus this week and ready to talk about all the latest games, and…wait…what’s this? There actually are games? Yes that’s right folks, summer is starting to wrap up and the deluge of fall titles is nearly upon us. This week Jay blows his allowance on We Happy Few, while Jared […]
We are back after taking a week off for an imaginary holiday that only one of the 49 states celebrates. Lucio returns, having spent his non-holiday time playing some games that actually came out within the last calendar year. Jared meanwhile finally clears out some of his old backlog and actually gets around to taking […]
Longtime (or likely even short time) listeners will know that as much as we love video games, so too do we love food. Today the two are married in holy matrimony in our podcast as we debate the top ten iconic video game foods of all time. You can view our list below but really […]
We’re now here in the bleak midst of summer where little to not games are releasing and we find ourselves choked for discussion topics. This week we make a last minute discussion to talk about canceled projects. Everything from the notoriously bad Fable Legends to the notoriously sexy Thrill Kill is covered in this thriller […]
Happy Birthday America! On this week’s podcast we celebrate by systematically choosing the ten most patriotic games of all time! I’ve included the list here for archiving’s sake but I’d also encourage you to skip it and just listen to the podcast. Also for some reason that still remains murky Michael shows up and explains […]
On this week’s podcast, after we casually create the ultimate action movie crossover series we move on to a retelling of how we spent seven hours together sailing through the ocean on a patriotic raft. Jay finally gets to be the octopus of his dreams while Michael and Jared move into the enterprising world of […]
Another year brings us another E3. Despite it feeling like most of the show’s heaviest hitters won’t be landing until next year (or even later) we spend this week wading through what got our blood pumping and also what made us wish we were dead. Are we all super hyped for Fallout 76? You can […]
On this week’s podcast Lucio lets his children roam the streets fighting, Jared’s sheer curiosity gets the best of him and he winds up buying yet another David Cage game, and the whole gang builds a mess of tree houses and ziplines in The Forest.
Since returning from Japan we've talked several times about doing a podcast focused around travel. Well the current games schedule is slow enough that this felt like the right week to do just that. We're not completely disconnected from games, Michael has some great titles for our deeply desired Gex reboot for example. But now […]
On this week's podcast Jared details his hypothetical and definitely not real Nintendo Labo and Amiibo collection torture basement. Michael lives on what might be an island with some cannibals, and somehow gets both Jared and Jay to agree to join him. Finally Jared lives his age-old dream of forcing children to become doctors in […]
Back from a lengthy stay in the far east Michael and Jared return to tell of the numerous products they picked up while they were there. Michael explains why you might not want to import the Fist Of The North Star Japanese edition, while Jared panics that at the possibility that his copy of God […]
On this week's podcast we react to Shadow of War's removal of microtransactions and speculate on what this new trend could mean for the industry in general. Afterwards it's time for us to dive deeper into some of the games we discussed last week. Michael and Jared finish A Way Out, while Jay and Jared […]
On this week's episode we forge a bold new feud with a famous video game personality as we delve into Sea of Thieves' many failings. Jared and Michael escape from prison in A Way Out before we all take a little vacation in the beautiful mountain air that only Montana can provide by way of […]
On this week's podcast Lucio returns to America with a spring in his step and a willingness to help figure out which fighting game has the worst character roster. We also spend some time discussing recently released tactics games and long-released time zones.
On this week's podcast Michael shares his top tips for men aiming to look stylish this season. As if that wasn't sexy enough he's also been receiving training in the art of romance thanks to the recently released Super Seducer. Later no one is more surprised to learn that Jay likes Metal Gear Survive than […]
We've apparently synced cycles this podcast and rather than talking about video games we were all in the mood to discuss the latest trash films to come along with your Netflix description. Come hear our take on everything from Bright, to Cloverfield, to the wondrous Last Jedi.
Wow, it's hard to believe we've tolerated each other for over two hundred episodes of the Enemy Slime Podcast. To celebrate this most auspicious occasion we have a special presentation for you. Thanks to everyone who has followed us over the years. It's been our pleasure to do anything that could possibly be construed as […]
Well howdy y'all. After a brief hiatus we are back to our regularly scheduled podcast and we begin with a recap of everything that played out in our 2017 GOTY voting sessions. Thanks for everyone who participated in GOTY. We'll see you fine folks next week for our big 200th episode.
This week the ever beloved Jason Brown joins us for a that magic time of year when we choose our favorite games from the previous 365 days and then viciously attack one another for our selections. If you don't feel like waiting to read our lists that will publish during the week this is your […]
Howdy y'all, we're back to podcasting in the new year. We've got a small crew this week and after spending some time catching up post-holidays we talk about hard hitting stuff like Seersucker Suits, Mario Odyssey, and Assassin's Creed Origins. Keep an eye on the site as our GOTY coverage is going to start any […]
As per tradition, our last podcast of the year features responsible drinking and a completely unplanned discussion. From here the podcast will take a seasonal break, returning on January 9th for our GOTY coverage. If you're a Patreon backer you can still get your podcast fix though as some new collections of pre-shows will drop […]
Hey you wanna hear about video games? What about inventors who accidentally killed themselves with the very thing they invented? Well if that second one grabbed you this week's podcast is almost certainly gonna be the one for you. We mostly shoot the breeze this episode, taking advantage of the lull in gaming that December […]
Violence and video games have a long complicated history with each other and it's a subject Lucio, Michael, and Jared are all too happy to unpack. Is violence essential to gaming? Do you have a constitutional right to build a giant killer mech in your home? We solve all of these mysteries and more in […]
Sex! Maybe you've had it, maybe you've seen it on TV, maybe you just heard your parents talking about how your dad isn't very good at it while they were in the other room and thought you couldn't hear. Well regardless of your affiliation with it, it's undoubtedly the hit new craze that's sweeping the […]
You can't throw a rock these days without hitting an outraged Star Wars Battlefront 2 fan these days. Unless of course you throw your rock on the Enemy Slime Podcast where the only thing we love more than Battlefront 2 is EA's incredible CEO. Hot damn! Come with Doug and Jared as we explore what […]
After a brief break for the holiday we are back with lots to talk about this week. We discuss the recent run of studio closures and layoffs over the last couple weeks. Jay and Lucio have a fine time killing Nazis in Wolfenstein II. Trevor is deeply disappointed by Destiny 2, while conversely Jared plays […]

This week's podcast is mostly business as after a two week hiatus we've mostly done nothing but play great games. Michael and Jared discuss Hob, Trevor fills us in on his time with Ruiner, Lucio and Jared both discuss the recently released Metroid Returns. September was a very kind month, do yourself a favor and […]
On this week's podcast Doug and Jared reflect on their closing moments at PAX. Then we have a nice reminiscing session on PSX era JRPGs. Come sit by the fire, pop a Werther's Original, and remember the good old days with us, won't you?
This year's PAX afforded us the rare opportunity to sit down and have a live podcast without any remote attendees. Come listen to us talk about the games we enjoyed and the public transit we avoided.
