Matt puts his Omega Ruby Randomizer Nuzlocke to bed, Adrian has been 3D printing Dungeons & Dragons, and Michael played Tekken. Not recently, but he did play it back in the day. Should we cover a plethora of fighting games for 2022? Tekken, Street Fighter, Super Smash Bros, Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur… does.. does Twisted Metal count? No, it doesn’t. Matt tries to go down a dark path, but doesn’t quite get there until the end, so just hang tight. Anyway, back to Michael, he’s been playing Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, and discuss the many ‘Revelations’ haha and changes towards Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

    This episode is less about just one game, but about game design itself. In this mammoth episode the boys go in depth on what it's like to play a game from 1993 in 2021 and how that translates for a busy gamer. Point and Click adventure titles seem to have dwindled in recent years, but how does a compelling tale about ancient African religions and German monster hunters hold up? The boys discuss the standardized verb systems used with games in that time, and the methodology of game direction. With a stellar cast of Tim Curry, Mark Hamill, Leah Remini, Virginia Capers and more, this point & click adventure title features Gabriel Knight, a budding novelist in New Orleans, investigating serial killings which is staged as acts of voodoo, but as he researches deeper, the possibility that voodoo is real starts to unfurl. We also dive into a small touch of PlayStation 5 and Monster Hunter: Rise.

    Welcome to the fortnightly catch-up, where the rules are made up and the points don't matter. In fact, this description is more like a director's commentary where I type while I re-listen. Matt sure does love survival games, check that out at twitch.tv/megamattex seriously it's good. Just so you know, our minecraft server was a huge success, we had an infinite iron farm, an enormous villager trading post, blocks of netherite, and defeated the ender dragon. So we stopped playing Minecraft and started playing Raft. Between Smite and League of Legends, No Time To Grind is become its own battle arena. Adrian played Ratchet and Clank. Good for him. Michael's PC was met with a terrible fate, but I won't spoil that for you here, let's just say it was shocking! It was solved, thanks Michael's Father in Law! Michael also revisited the land of Skyrim, a decade of Nords fighting Imperials. Good stuff. Remember when Bethesda was good? Fallout 3, New Vegas, 4, TES: Morrowind, Oblivion. We get into our theory for Elder Scrolls 6 and Michael thinks everybody faces north at all times. I should have just used "generations" to describe the time gaps in Elder Scrolls, but I'll let you figure that out. Matt is a dirty little episode tease because he has no script and wants to talk about League of Legends. Since we recorded, we have played 1 match of pvp LoL and have a 100% win rate, here's the stats: Matt - Riven - 1/10/2 (maximum oof), Michael - Ekko - 4/2/8 (nice!), Adrian - Kayn - 21/3/4 god damn 3 Quadra Kills and MVP. Bloody Adrian over here being scared to match with smurf accounts and he's repping this 8+ KDA. We get into the ideas of matchmaking in LoL and compare it to Smite's, which is the only other MOBA we play. Adrian knows his Smite, that's for sure. How many people be queuing in multiplayer games? Well in League, against bots, people make their own bots. How dumb is that? God Matt is smart. and handsome. rate this podcast 5 stars. or share. or go to facebook.com/notimetogrindpodcast or all 3? you should do that. do it now. If you do not share this podcast and my stream with your friends you will be in ELO hell for your next 10 games. Oh snap, Smite Valentines Memes?! Bacchus is life, Bacchus is love.

This Dungeons and Dragons 5e oneshot adventure by Redditor u/Jmanc available via /r/unearthedarcana Featuring such a lovely cast such as Frosty the Snowman, the Grinch, Rudolph, and Saint Nick himself, all with a generally horrifying twist which is baked further by Michael's wonderful impressions and imagination.

    YOU CAN STOP AT AROUND 15:00 If you are a beautiful busy gamer! This may be a longer episode but it is well worth it! Welcome to DOUBLE DECEMBER! [SFX: Crowd - Cheering] Phasmophobia is a wonderful puzzling horror game, but it's still cooking, which leaves the busy boys divisive, from going into future hypothetical ghosts, evidence's (y'all got that EMF?), and hunts. Whether the sub objective is dirty water or just getting a temp below 10 degrees, we explore whether or not Phasmophobia is a game for a busy gamer. We go into our finale for the wonderful yet absolutely messed up year that has been 2020; Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. We delve into the games we've been playing alongside Phas, featuring such hits as Hades, Red Dead Redemption Online, and... NHL '16? Alright then. We then, very quickly, didn't take that long at all, talk about the Game Awards Game of the Year, The Last of Us Part II, and we do genuinely enjoy that game, so check out our episode on it, Ep 72. I love you, you love me, please share this to your friends, because that would be very nice. Maybe do a good 5/5 star rate? hmm? ty

    WHOA! We revisit the orange rat that made Mario pee his pants. That’s right, Crash Bandicoot is better than Super Mario, Super Sonic, in fact, I would go so far as to say that Crash should be the next Smash Bros fighter so he can take his place as king of all video game mascots. That’s what you get for acting da Mickey, Adrian. Before Naughty Dog ruined Laura Bailey’s social media inbox and tarnished our eyes, much like The Last of Us 2, the phenomenal gameplay (see, I can compliment tlou2 as well) has led the busy boys to award Crash 3 as the fifth busy boy certified game! Well done!

    In this streamlined episode we deliver what we promised. For like, the first time, this is a quick, succinct episode for you busy gamers where we ask and answer the question: "Is this a game for a busy gamer?"

    What level of Batman: Arkham Asylum fan are you? Adrian: Asylum, Michael: City, Matthew: Knight. Promptly after recording this, Adrian did in fact get his first Crown in Fall Guys. Well done, Adrian. I’m proud of you. Michael and Matt played Marvel’s Avengers. Adrian did not quite assemble, but Matt gives a quick review. Cyberpunk 2077 – delays have meant we had to re-work our calendar, and we chose our lifepath for Cyberpunk, getting excited and organized. Adrian has become a professional Magic: The Gathering: Arena player, and because of that, Adrian smacks down Hearthstone. Get yourself a toilet game!

    So it's halfway through our playthrough of The Last of Us: Part II, and how do we feel? Misguided optimism comes to mind. Michael asks if Grand Theft Auto Online is the best multiplayer game (spoilers, it aint) but we talk about what we want in a multiplayer game in general. Like, what would the perfect Soulslike game be? And if you want to go to our kickstarter for Soulsbound, too bad, you can't. Demon Souls, look out, Dark Souls is here. Speaking of threats, The Legend of Zelda is up against Crystalis and StarTropics, biding for Michael's attention between his days in seattle, and Adrian grieves on his experience's with Obsidian's Outer Worlds (and a little bit of joy with Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order).

    Possibly the best game of all time, but is it for the busy gamer? Hell no. But you gotta find out how a game so good is so grindy. So much delicious content but you’ll never finish. So make sure your Apple device isn’t listening cause we’re talking about Ciri. And the main character, Dandilion (that is the correct original spelling). We talk about essentially every problem that can present themselves during your time during the fantastic Witcher III: The Wild Hunt on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, etc. So yes, it’s mostly nitpicking. Make sure you subscribe to check out our next episode about The Last of Us Part II, which is possibly the inverse? Of Witcher 3.
