Pretty Cool Haircut

It's that special time of year that you think you look forward to, E3. JJ and Justin go hard on all the hot hot new video game titles like the Left 4 Dead clone made by the old Left 4 Dead people, or the stylish looking Left 4 Dead clone, but we don't talk about the Left 4 Dead clone about vampires. We also talk about Left 4 Dead, Elden Ring, video game criminals, vg burnout, the Wild Wild West Whopper from Burger King, PCH's 2nd anniversary, animal cops and the most baffling Final Fantasy game since... I don't know, like, Mystic Quest or some shit. Tune in for all the negative energy directed at our favorite hobby.

On this late edition of Pretty Cool Haircut the boyz talk hentai shovelware, Hades, The Binding of Isaac, some trash ass NES rom looking game and its occult imagery, a British editorial about the raw deal video games are giving our children and a few other really important topics. Plus strap on your helmets for the 48 edition of what would you do video game man. An episode more refreshing than that iced up back of the fridge grapefruit Zevia.

Last week when we recorded the all no video game talk episode of the show, we couldn't help ourselves and had a quick conversation about the internet's current obsession... that tall tall big woman... Lady Dimitrescu. Tuck in for a nice little 13 minute exploration of pandemic level internet horniness.

As promised on episode 39 we spend this entire episode talking about all things except for video games. We try to bail on this concept a couple times but mostly succeed. Instead of video games we talk about: The Mall of America and it's changes in our post COVID world, babies, how babies eat, how babies are hooked up to their mothers in the womb, but mostly we talk about shit, like I'm talking feces. Please enjoy.

Oh hey, what's up. We're back. Justin has returned from his stint in the education mines. And we're back on our every other week talking shit about every video game that has ever been released. This episode is very loose, similar in style to the first ep but about 1000x times better (don't ever actually listen to that first ep, its real bad). Topics of discussion this go around include, JJ's favorite brand of soda and 12 of their top flavors, where Justin went for 6 months, Final Fantasy XIV, Disco Elysium, Subnautica, MyTalk 107.1, Escape From Tarkov, Returnal, Nier Replicant, I play a song I like that makes a brief reference to two fairly obscure Street Fighter characters, and like a bunch of other shit. Give it a listen.

This week we talk hot news now that PS5 is in hand and we also dive deep with one of the finest YouTube weirdos we have ever seen as he approaches the possible biggest announcement of his life with us his viewers.

He's gone! We can do whatever we want! Change the music! Turn on that KoRn and let it out. This is the first ep with JJ as a solo man. Check it out for some short news, a defense of RGB lighting and some experimental slam poetry.

Just in time for your Halloween company Zoom call, its the 2020 Pretty Cool Haircut... is it played out to call something a spooktacular. I feel like this is a spooktacular. On this episode, we discuss next to nothing. We did however each write a piece of scary video game related fiction to thrill and chill you and then Bono stops by to kiss you AND kill you. Also stay tuned til the end to learn a very important piece of information about the immediate future of the show. Credit where credit is due, JJ came up with the name Dookie Macklen. I brought him to life. Enjoy the show buds.

If you want to feel alive, listen to this episode.

Also discussed this time around: shoes, crouton holders, Bethesda, Zenimax, Microsoft, Doom, Bugsnax, Skyrim 2000, Fall guys, Cockhead, we also get a little too sexy for our own good, its all hentai this and panties that, truly harrowing.

Give it a listen babies

Please note that at the beginning of this episode for the first 10 minutes we have a very frank and serious discussion about police abolition. It was something that has been on our minds as it has I'm sure for most Americans and we wouldn't have felt right if we didn't make clear how we are feeling. After the first ten minutes we go into a regular show, it's also our 1 year anniversary. We reminisce, we remember, we talk about the future of the show and we listen to a few choice clips from previous episodes. Also discussed on this episode: Cyberpunk, Cyberpunk merchandise, Maneater, Potata, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Animal Crossing, Dan Akryod's Crystal Skull Vodka, Destiny 2, Phil Collins songs, also other things. Give it a listen, I really edited the shit out of this one.

Yo, what's up? We made a new episode. It's pretty chill, extremely low effort. I dig through a box, JJ digs through his mind's box. We offer video games for anyone that wants them. Also discussed: our only passion: Noita, fitted hats, two games JJ played in 2011 that he barely remembers, and I don't know other stuff. It's pretty tight. Get the nag champa outta ya ears and give it a listen.

Also discussed on this episode: Twitch, being a streamer, being trapped in a prison of your own making, Apex Legends,an NFL football team, Animal Crossing, Noita is mentioned but we don't go deep, and we set our last two challenges before our year of casting has elapsed.

Hey, can you put down your rich bitch juice for one second and maybe listen to the podcast we made for you? On this episode we mostly talk about JJ's game of 2019, Noita.

Good golly, we're back with another nuclear hot episode of hot vg (VIDEO GAMES) talk. We do more listener suggested topics, most of them suggested by a man who said he's done playing video games for a while, hopefully he's not done listening to video game related podcasts. Topics covered in episode 22 include: Valorant, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Moderwar-man the battle royal, the mournful return of our sponsor, just frankly a lot of Final Fantasy 7 remake talk, old weirdo games from the nineties, Streets of Rage, turkeys in barrels, so on and so forth.

Listen to it, so I can afford to make more expensive impulse buys at carpeted grocery stores (I don't make money from this show).

This episode also contains discussions of: Doom Eternal, pulled pork, Painkiller, Strife, the old Polish Witcher tv series, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, the return of our sponsored content, a madlib that nearly takes my life, my new found role as a Sonic movie truther, I say a nice thing about Star Wars, Dwarf Fortress, Rimworld, horny Chinese shovelware, Call of Duty, holy shit just like a lot of stuff. Check it out if you love fun.

One Sunday morning the two hosts of this podcast woke up and drove to the Mall of America and watched a little movie called The Sonic the Hedgehog Movie. Is that the title of the movie? I actually don't know. Is it just called The Sonic movie? Who could say for sure. Either way we watched it and we have so many opinions for you about it. What else is in the episode you ask? Well this stuff: Dreams, both ours and also the game called Dreams, sexy video game ladies, sexy video game weapons, bad translations of emails written in Spanish, Stregamus, Geoff Keighley talk, Elon musk talk, Todd Howard talk, Crystal Crisis, Puzzle Fighter, Sekiro, I cut out a chunk of stuff about Marvel character Purple Man, so not that, plus 60 pounds of other hot video game topics.
