RPGrinders

This week has a decent amount of news stories, the aniticipation in Frank's voice is palpable as he hopes Break's present will arrive on time for Game Night, and Break treats the gang to an awesome one hitter game night for the ages!  Live first 3 Friday's of the month 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders and on youtube!  Thanks for listening!

on this special episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through a standard chunk of news, with highlights being release dates for the DBZ: Kakarot Daima dlc and Trails in the sky 1st Chapter. Frank has a review for Exterritorial. But the stinkos are pretty foul this week. At least there's a nice Sweeto from Frank to claw back some joy, as Break gets his Breakman Day gift in a late but ultimately timely fashion. And with that gift, Breakman's Game Night segment can finally get underway! Be sure to tune in live on Twitch/Youtube at 7 PM EST on Fridays! You can even hit up our Discord channel! 

The Grinders are back for the first week of the greatest month of the year, that's right, May! A month so good that Spider-Man's aunt is even shares its name. What makes May so great? Well, there are many answers but few as good as the weather. As the season changes from Spring into Summer, the temperatures rise and the clothes come off.  As the temperatures are rising across the country, the attitude is also beginning to heat up. Clothes aren't the only things shed as the American people increasingly become more vocal. The American people want nothing less than to strip this administration of all its ill-gotten power. The Grinders stand with the American people as we push back against a fascist government that seems to be ramping up the atrocities on a weekly basis. Fortunately for the American people, they have video games and the RPGrinders to distract them from the terrible reality. What better way could there be to spend your time hidden in an underground bunker than to listen to all 821 episodes of RPGrinders?  If you don't have an underground bunker, then it's time to get your protest kit ready. It's getting warm so don't worry about bundling up but don't forget the umbrella. Make sure to eat first and drink plenty of fluids and be sure to bring extra with you. Most important of all is to download every episode of RPGrinders and don't worry about bringing headphones. Everyone will want to listen as they denounce tyranny.  The May flowers are in full bloom so maybe that is Break's excuse for trying to skip this week's news segment. While he was out sniffing flowers Frank, Eric, and gaming world moved on. Maybe Break will use that excuse to get out of work and stay home playing some of these Summer releases: Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth 1, Wuchang Fallen Feathers, and an end of Summer release for the highly anticipated Borderlands 4. If the heat starts to get to the American people and they just need a break from the march, then Eric has a couple of movie recommendations to get us back on track. What could be better than one Michael B Jordan? That's right, two! He is back and playing dual roles in the Sinners. MBJ isn't the only one who is back as several Marvel MCU characters return for the next big team-up movie, The Thunderbolts.   It wouldn't be RPGrinders if we didn't do the greatest podcast segment known to mankind, the Stinkos. There may never have been a larger Stinko in Grinder history than the fall of democracy in the United States of America. The country will never be the same as some irreparable damage has already been done. Beautiful weather now gives the American people more power to fight back. As this weather warms up the protests against this wannabe dictatorship are only just beginning.  Completely unrelated to the weather and political corruption, the Grinders have a brand-new Panic Room. Frank has a devious offer from a malevolent entity. We can't say more without spoiling Frank's demented fun. With all of the oppression and fear mongering by the current administration it can be easy to fall into despair. Fear not, as the warmer weather will inspire more of us to stand up and push back. As we all march against evil in our short-shorts while listening to RPGrinders at full volume, we will see our numbers grow and their power diminish! Our fight against evil has only just begun.                        Oh, and May is also MY month! Happy Birthday to me!             And fuck Trump!            

I reviewed the Xbox version of this fun Metroidvania RPG!

I reviewed the Xbox version of this classic pair of JRPGs!

In this episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through some news with the highlights being Starlight Legacy, Sacrifire, and Neverway. Frank has a review for Dinner with Leatherface, and Eric reviews Let this Grieving Soul Retire and ecchi anime Ladies vs. Butlers.  The Stinkos see plenty as there is more to get mad at the MAGA party about, and Eric contends with Hay Fever. finally, frank and Break both take time to do their own Driver's seat questions for this month. Since Easter is looming be sure you don't get swindled. And tune in to RPGrinders live on Fridays at 7 PM EST on Twitch/Youtube for more life advice!     The Easter Bunny was going to deliver eggs, but he got high, he got high, he got high...

I review this fun, if not otherwise safe action game for the PS5. 

I review the PS5 version of this fun, if somewhat unpolished Souls-like.

This episode sees us all get exhausted from the long news cycle, the Switch 2 is all the buzz, and finally Break has to leave the show because of flooded basement!  Good luck Break, sucks thats happening to you guys! Join us live first 3 Fridays of every month http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders 7EST!  Thanks for listening!

I review the Switch version of this Chinese visual novel!

It's the last episode of March but the first episode of Spring. So go find something to do outside next Friday evening. Join your local protest and help save our country before it's too late. Don't forget to take the necessary protesting gear. Water, signage, camera, and some ear buds so you can listen to RPGrinders while fighting fascism.   This week's episode had to start and end early for personal reasons. To save time there was no news segment. Coincidentally, the Break was actually early to the show. We are all sure those two things are not related.  Even though it's a shorter show, the Grinders try not to cut out anymore segments. To keep it short, each Grinder has one quick movie review but only one of the movies was good.  Who was the lucky viewer? Did Break make the right decision my watching a movie that flopped at the box office, Morbious? Or maybe Eric was the lucky one when he watched the first Looney Toons movie that hasn't gotten the shaft from the WB in a long time, The Day the Earth Blew Up? Or perhaps Frank got to enjoy a new horror classic, Little Bites?  A short show will always have one guarantee, there will always be Stinko's. It's everybody's favorite segment so it would be rude not to include. Unfortunately, the Stinkos are growing ever dim by the weak. The American government has fully embraced fascism and innocent people are suffering. Due process and court orders are being ignored. Innocent people are being hunted by a government funded terrorist organization. A country built on immigration is treating its immigrants worse than it treats White Supremacists & clients of Epstein.   Even though this episode is short, the Grinders closed out the show with not one but two Driver's Seats. Or was that two Panic Zones?? Who knows, but at least both Frank and Eric came prepared... well, Eric came prepared. What does Eric have in store for everyone? I'll give only one hint, Dark Souls. The Grinders will be back the first week of April. Until then, spend your valuable time doing something truly useful. Like reading my self-felating podcast descriptions or even listening to the show itself! Oh and maybe do some protesting or something, but mostly just read my words and tell me I am awesome.               Yes, I am kidding!           Seriously, yes. It was a joke.         Still don't believe me?       Fine. How many times do I have to write "I am not a narcissist." on the chalk board before you believe me?  

This week we are sans Eric but Bernie B. steps in like a champ!  A short news cycle leads to great discussions about politics, egg shortages, and finally just lamenting Eric not being here.  Shout out to Bernie B. for stepping up!  We are live first 3 Fridays of every month 7EST.  thanks for listening!

It's the last day of February and the end the month normally means that the Grinders would be enjoying an undeserved day of rest. Instead, they are back with an extra special episode of Game Night! That's right. No News. No Reviews. Just Game Night and some Stinkos, cause we all love the Stinkos! Episode 2 of the sci-fi D & D ripoff continues! Eric the host leads Eric the character on a grand space adventure. Frank is along for the ride as he narrates and takes over the role of Elizabeth. Not to be left out, the Grinder's favorite chatters control the android we forgot to name.  In a galaxy not very far away, the heroes fight to save survivors on a poorly named space station. To save the day they will have to contend with space pirates and slime creatures. Even worse, they have to contend with the bad voice acting (Not sure if he prefers his meh writing or bad voice acting) and devious machinations of the DM Break Man. What evil plans does Break have in store for our heroes? Will Eric lead Eric to victory? Will Frank help Elizabeth save the galaxy? Or will the chatters blow it all up?             After the game, the Grinders have some big Stinkos to discuss. It has been a rough week for most of the world. Politics and Trump are dominating the news cycle.  His minions are doing ruining everything meant to help the American people. The Orange wannabe king is causing chaos across the globe. Even as people are dying in a war, Trump still finds a way to make it all about himself. How much more can America take? What will it take for Americans to start fighting for our democratic republic, before it is too late?             People keep telling me it's a clown show but clowns are funny. This sure as hell isn't.           Weird. It's sort of like two different posts. Maybe it should have two different titles? Nah. I'm too lazy for that.

I review the PS4 and 5 versions of this fun sequel to Daybreak!

This week we determine we don't have time to do our awesome game night so we decide to conclude the story next week!  A short news cycle makes for a brisk show as we have a free for all for the first time in a long while!  If you want to know what we talked about well you know what to do!  We are live the first 3 Fridays every month 7EST!  Thanks for listening!

In this space filled adventure of RPGrinders, the crew gets through some light news, mostly to make up for that way-too-long rathole free-for-all derailment. Highlights include dates for Tribe Nine, Elden Ring: Nightreign, and the Lies of P dlc. Afterward, Frank has reviews for Death Passage,  Mosquito, and The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep. Stinkos abound as everyone talks about the further destruction of society by the fascist goverment. At least Frank has a notable Sweeto to counterbalance some of the bs. But after all of that, Break finally regales us all with the newest season of Game Night. and this time it's.. IN SPAACE! Be sure to tune in live for real-time dice rolls and fails, Fridays at 7 PM EST via Twitch/Youtube!    

What's Red, White, and Black & Blue? Don't answer that. Who's still butt hurt over the election? Don't judge me! Who's afraid we are watching the fall of our democratic republic? Don't know yet. Who's back to complain about the government, bad video games, and stupid people? Don't have to guess because the Grinders are back with the first episode of February. With the cold weather and rise of fascism now is a perfect time to game. It might not seem like it, but we all need to take time and unwind. Mental health is important. It will be more important than ever with the struggles to come. A good distraction may be Code Reactors or maybe Cabernet which will both be releasing before the end of the month. The country might not be getting better, but the weather will be as we head into Spring. With Spring we will also see the releases of Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade and Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3.  The first Stinko goes to Break Man who promises not to talk too much about politics. If this post is not evidence enough, he is STILL complaining about politics. To be fair, everyone should be concerned about the horrible things occurring within the American government. Those aren't the only Stinkos as America has also been dealing with tragic plane crashes. RIP to all those people who lost their lives in those tragic accidents, a popular voice actor, and the president of NIS.  Did we mention that there was also a National Squirrel Appreciation Day. Do not be fooled by the squirrels. They can't be trusted. They are probably on our government's payroll. The last Stinko goes to Break Man for using up all the show time complaining about President Musk, First Lady Donald Trump, and their little dog JD Vance. The NAZI wannabes ruined Game Night but it will be back!  It hasn't even been a month, and the chaos has only begun. Now, more than ever it is time for the American people to stop fighting over petty disagreements before we lose this country and all of our freedoms. While we resist it's important to find time to relax our minds, and what better way is than to listen to a new episode of RPGrinders.              Alternative episode titles:          Don't Be a Kittie.           He Kittied it Up.            We Did NAZI That Coming... oh Wait. Yes, We Did.           Let's Go For it. (Honestly, why did I even write this one down?)  

How many Grinders does it take to post a show? Shut up! I blame our government. Its okay though because they can't hold us down forever! We might be late posting episode 811 but we hope it was worth the wait. What happened on episode 811? Hell if I know. That was like weeks ago. Frank, Eric, and Break did a podcast. There was news, reviews, stinkos, and more.  Seriously, you need more specifics? I told you I don't remember! Stuff happened. There was a beginning, a middle, and an end. The End!  Ugh. Okay! We reviewed Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and Castlevania: Nocturn. Happy now? No? Damn you! Ok fine. The Grinders also talk about their first console and Frank has some hot takes on guns. The Switch 2 was announced, and the American government has fully embraced the Dark Side. Tik Tok gets a reprieve while America falls to fascism.  Now am I done? No? I don't care! Just download the episode and deal with it. I promise I'm not cranky.              Seriously, I'm not.           Come to think of it... I have laundry to do. Now I'm cranky!    

I review the Switch release of this fun, if somewhat unbalanced metroidvania from Team Ladybug! P. S. I forgot to mention this but the game is currently only on Switch and PC. Hopefully that changes!

I review the Xbox release of this fun, if somewhat safe but refined sequel to Ender Lilies!  

Blah blah blah blah, a tiny bit of news, blah blah blah blah, stinkos and sweetos are fun, blah blah blah blah, Break said something about sports, blah blah blah, Eric says something, blah blah blah blah, Frank exiles people, blah blah blah blah. Join us LIVE 7EST first 3 Fridays of the month http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders or search RPGrinders on YouTube.  Thanks for listening!!   blah blah boobs and stuff and ass

I played the PS versions of this good, but somewhat lacking remaster of a fantastic remake to a classic game!

Not much to say in this episode since the crew has very little news to ring in the new year. Eric reviews the latest Venom movie, and Frank reviews the recent Nosferatu reimagining. The stinlos are pretty much the usual, but maybe listeners could give Eric the money they need for a new seating arrangement. At least the Sweetos are nice to see. And at last, Eric starts the month with a Driver's Seat to ask the most important first question of tge year: What are your thoughts on New Year's Resolutions? be sure to listen live for more antics to come, Fridays at 7 PM EST on Youtube/Twitch!

Happy New Year and welcome to 2024! A brand new... FUCK. Why does the new year make some of dumber than usual? I don't know but I do know that the Grinders are back. Or at least, they will be. They still have one final episode before they return in 2025. They will be back with more of the insanity of Game Night, the thoughtful conversations of the Driver's Seat, and the fantastical Panic Room. But first, let's flash back... Back to the past. To an ancient time, I like to refer to as 2024. In that distant past the Grinders would start every episode with the latest news. Updates on when those games will join the rest of us in the future. Games like OFF, AI Limit, and Ys vs Trails in the Sky Alternative Sage may have been made in the distant past but will be arriving in 2025.  They maybe from a past long forgotten but the Stinkos of history should never be lost. The past is seemingly doomed to repeat itself as Republicans, Democrats, racism, and misogyny never seem to go out of style. Democrats and Republicans worked together to give themselves raises while discriminating against the Trans community. Not to be out done, Disney made sure to spread their own brand of transphobia. Anyone who thinks misogyny and racism are dead, should see how her new (now former) fan base reacts to Caitlin Clark's interview about White Privilege.  With the end of 2024 came the final episode of Panic Room. Well, maybe not the final episode but it is the last episode of the year that has long since passed. And it will be a good one, if Break can come up with something before time runs out. In the meantime, the Grinders talk about their favorite games of the year. Games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom stole many hours of Frank's life, and he has no regrets. Break surprised no one by choosing an RTS. And of course, Eric played a ton of JRPGs but only the best made his year-end list. With that, it's time to go back to the future! (Don't sue me!) The Grinders no not what the future will bring but they know they will keep showing up every month to game, complain, argue, laugh, and have a good time. Even if 2025 is a shit sandwich of never-ending stupidity, the Grinders will be back every month and just as crazy as ever!                     Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits!                   Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits! Tits!         TITS!

I review the Xbox version of this fantastic new entry in the Mana series!

I review the latest 2D Zelda game for the Switch!

I revisit this short but fun indie RPG, but this time as a remake!

I review the Xbox version of this great RPG classic!

This week Frank dislikes the choice for game of the year, the guys have metric ton of news stories to go through, Eric brings a great Christmas Panic Zone scenario to ponder, Break's Stinko's spark hefty conversations about healthcare, and finally Break's Christmas gifts are a huge hit!  Catch us LIVE every Friday (except the last Friday of the month) at 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders and YouTube (search RPGrinders)!  Thanks for listening!

Don't say their name! Anyway in this episode of RPGrinders, the crew once again waits for Breakman while Eric and Frank get through most of the news. A lot of weird announcements, but one that really sounds out is a mobile version of FFXIV for China. Also Frank doesn't fully comprehend game development costs and the choices smaller teams sometimes have to make and it's really capitalism's fault. After the crew gets through what they've been playing, Eric reviews the latest movie involving the ghoul whose name I can't repeat. Frank reviews Pantheon. The Stinkos are palpable, as Eric loses mail and we all condemn lawmakers. Of course, there always is also money troubles. I swear December just hits everyone financially. At least the Sweetos brighten up everyone's situation a bit more. And finally, the Panic Zone returns. Be sure to listen live and maybe you can participate in the next two scenarios by tuning into Twitch/Youtube Fridays at 7 PM EST!  

I review the PS4/5 version of this fantastic remake! 

Eff Trump! Oops, I meant welcome to another new episode of #RPGrinders. The last episode before the Holiday season shifts into high gear. Soon kids can look forward to a fat man in a red suit giving them presents, while the parents dread the fat man with a red tie stealing their kid's futures. Eff Trump. Since we are supposed to be nice during the holiday season, I (Break Man) will try (pinky swear) to behave myself. Eff Trump. Hopefully, Krampus will. But for all the good children of the world, Santa may drop off something special like one of these November releases. Alaloth Champions Four Kingdoms and Heaven Burns Red have already been released but Riviera the Promised Land Remastered will be out before the end of the month.  Eff Trump and the MAGA family members we will be forced to deal with over the holidays. I hope they all get stockings full of coal just like the rest of the cabinet pics that made the Stinkos. It's painfully obvious that I am still very bitter about the election. Eff Trump but he is far from the only usual suspect in the Stinko line-up as the police make the Naughty list again. Worst of all, poor Bernie got hurt at work. Eff Trump but get better soon Bernie! Eff Trump. It's not his turn to do the Driver's Seat and it never will be! Just like the Nice List, it's something Trump will never see. It's my turn and I have a couple of revealing questions to ask our hosts. Do Frank, Eric, and myself have any special talents and what are our favorite foods? The Grinders might not be able to deliver billions of presents globally in under 6 hours but they do have some unique abilities. The Grinders aren't able to live on a diet of cookies and milk or Big Macs so what do they eat, and the most important question of all, what is their favorite pizza?! Eff Trump and the police. Rocks and coal for every holiday unless they get visited by three ghosts and grow hearts 3 times their normal sizes. Until Santa Claus himself announces that Trump and the police are off the Naughty List. Then and only then will I want Krampus stop pooping on their doorsteps on Christmas Eve.  Eff Trump but Happy Holidays everyone! I know it's just beginning but why wait for the end to wish everyone well. Except Trump. Eff Trump.           I hope "Eff Trump" doesn't get me in trouble. I was also thinking about: %#$% Trump, screw Trump, and poop sandwich.   

This episode the guys reserve the political discussion for a candid talk during a returning 'Free For All' segment, the news is brisk, and the government just sucks for more reasons than the election.  If you want to know why, well you just have to listen!  Join us LIVE first 3 Fridays of the month 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders or search RPGrinders on YouTube!  Thanks for listening!

The RPGrinders crew is still on a hangover from Halloween but manage to get through a decent amount of news, Break and Eric have a "heated" discussion with Frank about politics (of course Frank wins), and finally the Grinders discuss their favorite frozen dinners and what draws them to Anime!  Join us live every Friday 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders and on YouTube, just search RPGrinders!  Thanks for listening!

I review the Xbox version of Atlus' follow-up to Persona 5!

I reviewed this remade pack of classic fun RPGs for the Xbox!

The nights are getting longer. The days are getting colder. A feeling of impending doom is in the air. The end must be nigh! The last episode of RPGrinders? Hell no! The final episode of Game Night! The Grinders won't be slowed by the changing of the seasons. We won't be stopped by the things that go bump in the night! Game Night might be coming to an end but the Grinders still have work to do! Darker nights and less dice rolls but plenty of news, reviews, and Stinkoes. News like the release date for Trails Through Daybreak II, a new release date for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and new DLC announced for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. The longer, darker nights and the lack of Game Night are a perfect excuse to check out the RPGrinders movie recommendations. For the spookiest of seasons, the Terrifier series is back with it's 3rd entry. For something less scary, Eric also has a review of My Hero Academia: You're Next! The spooky season only lasts a month but the Stinko season goes year-round! As usual, Trump and politics rear their ugly heads. Discrimination against LGBTQ people, especially trans youth is still on the rise. Taco Bell has decided that they hate their customer base. And Toyota has decided that they hate their employees.  And I say again, the end is NIGH! The final episode of Game Night! The band of 6 heroes have braved shitty towns, dark forests, a lack of restroom access, and a Rat that won't shut the fuck up. They came out victorious against angry squirrels, wild wabbits, naked rednecks, and a monster that totally wasn't Godzilla. Now the party of heroes will their final challenge. On the top floor of the Tower of Frank they face off against the Slime Wizard. If they can defeat him, it will forever change the World of Frank. With no more Game Night to occupy these long, dark nights. The only thing left to do will be to prepare yourself for the things that go bump in the night. Load up on garlic. Bless the holy water. Load your silver bullets. And practice your whip skills. Game Night will be back next year. If you want to play, you will first have to survive the long, cold nights.                 Usually, I dress in my Darth Vader costume. This year I was thinking about wearing something sexier. A Sexy Vader costume? Vader with eye makeup and skinny jeans? 

I review the PS4/5 versions of this awesome entry of this longstanding action RPG series!

It's finally time to get ready for hopefully the next 800 episodes of RPGrinders started with the 801st. There is a very brief bit of news before the crew gets into its Stinkos. Frank's stinko is all the trimming he has to do, which means Eric has to once again upload the show, as Break fights off the sickness. Sweetos are really in the cards this week, but at least episode 8 of Game Night commences, even as Break battles some bug. If you want to hear the hilarity live, be sure to check out the show live on Twitch(when it's working again), or Youtube. Fridays at 7 PM EST is the when!

It's been like 17 years in the making, but the show has finally made it to episode 800! And there is no better way to conduct the show other than to be either drunk or high. Despite the fact that Break shows up a bit late, Frank and Eric get through most of the news. The most exciting announcement being that the Lunar remakes from the Playstation era are finally getting a remaster. After the news and talking about what we've been up to, there's a bunch of Stinkos to go around. At least the best Sweeto being that Alex Jones finally has to pay for his crimes makes up for all the talent that passed away recently. And finally, Game Night returns. How will the heroes deal with the nasty denizens of Frank World this time? Drunk that's how? At least Eric was, even if they passed out near the end! Be sure to catch the other parts of nonsense live at Twitch/Youtube, on Fridays at 7 PM EST!    

I review the Xbox version of this reimagining of an Atari classic!

There are currently estimated to be over 4 million podcasts with over 500 million listeners. Approximately 44 % of those podcasts made 3 episodes or less. Of those less than 2 million podcasts, less than half made more than 10 episodes. Of the less than 1 million podcasts, less than 200k of those podcasts put out weekly episodes. For the RPGrinders, this is the 799th episode. Most podcasts don't last for a year but the Grinders are now going 15 years strong! This is the penultimate episode!      

This episode Break has hearing issues, Frank's Sweetos and Stinkos inter twine, and Eric releases a great Panic Zone topic!  A short news weeks paves the way for a whole lot of great podcast content in this stellar edition of RPGrinders!  Join us LIVE every Friday (minus the last Friday of the month) at 7 EST on http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders or on YouTube, just search RPGrinders!  Thanks for listening!  Oh, and a  T-Rex would totally kick all of our asses!

It's an important question. Anyway, in this episode of RPGrinders, the crew gets through a fair bit of news. A lot of release dates drop, and Trails in the Sky gets a remake are the biggest highlights. Break also reviews The Castlevania Advance Collection, while Eric reviews the new Dominus Collection. The crew has plenty of Stinkos to go around though, as we mourn the passing of the creator of Ultraman and the voice of Motoko Kusanagi. Frank has a special FU for squirrels and misinformation as well. At least Frank's Sweeto is that despite pests, his plants are mostly okay. The crew finally gets to start this month's Panic Zone segment. be sure to tune in live for the rest and other segments Friday on Twitch/Youtube at 7 PM EST!  

Eric reviews the Xbox version of this NES/Famicom action game!

For the last time in the summer of 2024 the Grinders are back! Well, kind of. Frank and Eric are back. Did Break not get the memo? Maybe Break has just been so busy that he hasn't had time? Maybe that is why he is posting it now, over a week later? More than likely, he's just an idiot.  Regardless of the failures of their other host, Frank and Eric march on! Since Eric has already done the news, the Grinders can skip ahead. Maybe the show will be shorter? A Food Quest denied is another quest failed.  Without anyone to interrupt, it's smooth sailing for Frank and Eric. Or at least it would be smooth if Eric wasn't reviewing not one but two terrible movies. Listen to what he thinks about Blade Trinity and Catwoman, Break will be sorry he missed those. He might also be sorry that he doesn't get to hear Frank's review of two good movies! The prequel movie Furiosa and the horror movie that's been gaining a lot of buzz, Long Legs.  If the stench of bad movies hasn't left your nostrils yet, it's only going to get worse. As it is time for the Stinkos! The lack of a show the previous week is a huge stinko but not as big as the trouble Frank had to face. Though not as bad, rainy paint and 30 FPS (when it should be 60) are very annoying. Good news should follow the bad and what could be better than Sweetos? There aren't many but one involves Frank going out to dinner with one of our favorite friends, Freak5Chaos!  With only one segment left the Grinders might be able to get an early dinner! First, they will have to do this week's Driver's Seat. Do you trust the media? Frank and Eric have a lot of perspective on the media and how it affects the world and things like politics. Who else has an opinion? Break Man, as he finally shows up to do the show. Was Break high, drunk, and lost in the woods? Did he come across a helpless old woman being attacked by an evil motorcycle gang and he had to save her and single handily defeat all of them? Was he in the hospital, again? Was he in the nuthouse, again? Or was he simply stuck in traffic?  Well, whatever the answer is to those questions, at least we do know the answer to another question: Food Quest failed. The loudmouth Break could keep them there all night. He is back with plenty of Stinkos, Sweetos, his views on the media, and maybe a review. Better late than never, unless everyone was hungry.                       Now that it's quasi-fall, is it too soon to start putting out the Halloween decorations?      

Once again, a show from last week had to be canned, since Break and Frank were too busy to get an episode out. But thankfully Eric can provide you listeners with new content to make the next show go by quicker! Enjoy!

Not a ton of news this week so the guys talk about power outages in Ohio, Frank reviews House of the Dragon Season 2, Break brings up some great underrated video games, and Eric reviews two crappy movies Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance, and Elektra.  Join us every Friday 7EST http://twitch.tv/RPGrinders thanks for listening!

I review the PS4 and 5 versions of this great entry to the Legend of Heroes series!

in this episode of RPGrinders the crew gets through some modest news before tackling both possibly the worst Comic-related film this year, followed by the best in Deadpool and Wolverine, sans Break Man. Frank also reviews the mixed bag that is Baby Shower. Afterward, there sure are a lot of stinkos to complain about, but at least Frank's outreach efforts balance that out in the Sweetos segment.
