GROGPOD Roguelike Podcast

He's a bad bad kitty! We're snapping our fingers and fighting through the alleways this week with Mewgenics! The long-awaited game by Binding of Isaac creator and roguelite genre legend Edmund McMillen, fans have been wating something like 15 years to experience the cat breeding tactical combat RPG. You are a crazy cat lady, reanimated from the dead by a mad scientist and your goal is to breed cats to send on harrowing adventures through junkyards, spider caves, the moon, and beyond the reaches of the spacetime continuum. All the while maintaining your most impressive collection of freaks (cats) as they create offspring, poop in your house, and defend you from headless horrors rampaging the neighborhood.

Episode #423 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Kyle are stepping into the bizarre, unpredictable, and occasionally completely unhinged world of Mewgenics, the long-awaited cat-breeding RPG-simulation hybrid from Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel. After years of delays, redesigns, and total reinventions behind the scenes, Mewgenics has finally emerged as one of the strangest games in quite some time. Rather than focusing heavily on the soundtrack this week, the conversation leans much more into the experience of actually playing the game itself: the overwhelming amount of mechanics thrown at the player, the weird sense of humor, the endless experimentation, and the constant feeling that the game is either moments away from brilliance or complete collapse. It's a fascinating mix of strategy RPG combat, absurd cat management, and rogue-like unpredictability that somehow manages to feel both incredibly ambitious and completely exhausting at the same time. Email the show at bgmaniapodcast@gmail.com with requests for upcoming episodes, questions, feedback, comments, concerns, or any other thoughts you'd like to share!

The Fork In Your Ear Ep#211 Natepril Fools - Podcast Description Summary (April 4, 2026 Recording) In this episode of the Fork in Your Ear Podcast, hosts Tim K. Trotter and Nate (the "nape profile" and self-proclaimed master of puns and dad jokes) catch up after some technical hiccups and a holiday-related scheduling shift. They kick things off with a light-hearted roast of their absent Discord friend "Dame," who recently became a dad (congrats!) but kept it quiet, then nerd out over his rediscovered 90s Pokémon Gold/Silver BradyGames guidebook. Xbox Developer Preview Highlights The bulk of the conversation dives into the recent Xbox Partner Preview event. Nate walks through the announced titles (mostly in alphabetical order), with Tim chiming in on what catches his eye: Alien: Descent Storm – Atmospheric first-person survival shooter on Mars. Artificial Detective – Kitschy post-apocalyptic robot detective game with stylish storytelling. Send to Zero – Isometric pixel-art action game that reminds Tim of classic Final Fantasy aesthetics but sparks his mixed feelings on isometric perspectives (he prefers top-down; blames Sonic 3D Blast trauma). Happy Snaps – Basically Pokémon Snap but in the Bluey universe (Nate's kids will love it; lots of wholesome family talk and mild commentary on the IP being milked). Dispatch – The full collection is finally coming to Xbox (Play Anywhere, cloud, Series X/S). Tim highlights that the game has already sold 5 million copies pre-Xbox release—outpacing many big Sony titles. The Eternal Life of Oldman – Hand-drawn side-scroller where you play as an old man fixing/upgrading with his cane; Tim and Nate both vibe with the "games for us old guys" theme. The Expanse: Born from Cyberspace – Mass Effect-style RPG set in the beloved Expanse universe. Nate is hyped; they debate whether it's canon to the books/show. Forever Ago – Narrative adventure about an old man unlocking life memories (another "old guy game"). Frog Squad – Chaotic co-op puzzle game with frogs using tongues (reminds Tim of Chameleon Twist); looks like family fun despite the dated graphics. Grave Seasons – Farming sim with a dark/terrifying twist (Jessica would love it, per Tim). Hades II – Coming to Xbox; Tim shouts out Supergiant Games. Hunter: The Reckoning – Death Wish – First-person shooter take on the classic co-op gauntlet-style series. Moosa: Dirty Fate – Feudal Japan-inspired dark action game with bloody executions. Serious Sam – New 5-player co-op shooter from Behavior Interactive; Tim calls it "turn your brain off and shoot" in a good way. Stalker 2: Cost of Hope DLC – More content for the Ukrainian-developed series. Stranger Than Heaven – Brawler-style game from RGG Studio (Yakuza/Like a Dragon team?); graphics feel dated. Super Meat Boy 3D – Already out, but early feedback is disappointing (sloppy controls, no involvement from original creator Edmund McMillen). Vanted – Tactical RPG with explosive turn-based/real-time combat and Team Fortress-y art. Wuthering Waves – Coming to Xbox/Game Pass; Tim describes it as "Genshin Impact but more sci-fi, with Pokémon elements and better gameplay." They note the heavy presence of narrative-driven, story-focused, or "inclusive for older gamers" titles, which both hosts appreciate. What They've Been Playing Nate: Jumped into the recommended twin-stick Zelda-like Mini Shoot Adventures on Tim's suggestion. He's beaten the first dungeon boss, done ship upgrades, and shares Tim's minor complaint about missing dungeon maps, though it doesn't bother him as much. Loves the smooth controls, auto-shoot option, and forgiving fail states. Also tried a bit of ARK: Survival Ascended with the kids (dinosaurs!) but found the tutorial/missions frustrating and deadly. Tim: Finished Mini Shoot Adventures (highly recommends it). Played Life is Strange: Double Exposure with his wife—enjoyed the story, music, and choices but found the ending lackluster. They're looking forward to the new sequel Life is Strange: Reunion. Struggled heavily with ARK (wires quest saga involving drones, rockets, crashes, and rage-quits). Mentioned idle grinding in Exo Miner hitting brutal late-game walls. Entertainment & Culture Deaths: James Tolkan (Principal Strickland from Back to the Future, also in Top Gun) at 94, and animator Barry Caldwell (Tiny Toons, Smurfs, etc.). Movies: Tim and his wife saw Project Hail Mary in IMAX—loved the adaptation of Andy Weir's book, Ryan Gosling's performance, and the impressive practical puppet work (especially the alien). Highly recommended for space fans. Super Mario Galaxy Movie 2: Tim went opening night. Lots of Nintendo cameos (including Star Fox voiced by Glen Powell), stunning animation and score, but criticized as overstuffed, fast-paced dopamine overload with thin character development and a chaotic plot. Fun for Nintendo fans as a "Super Nintendo World: The Movie" experience, but not a strong standalone film. Yoshi's backstory montage is a highlight; Donald Glover does the voice. Other: Tim watched Mercy (Chris Pratt + AI judge system) and re-watched Minority Report. Nate had a nostalgia kick with 80s films like D.A.R.Y.L. and The Last Starfighter (which he thinks needs a modern remake). They're watching Invincible Season 4—Tim calls Episode 5 one of the darkest, most disturbing things he's seen in animation. Life Stories Nate got his Tony Hawk skateboard delivered by an Amazon driver… who arrived on a skateboard himself (Tim and Nate both found this hilarious and practical). Tim's mom is back living with him after time in Florida—some minor household adjustments and "special mug" incidents. Work stress is high with big out-of-state jobs, parts delays, and travel anxiety (food allergies add extra layers). Nate's wife is stressed finishing the school yearbook; end-of-month work crunch for him too. General adulting chaos: kids, house, motorcycle service, etc. Podcast note: A long-time coworker finally discovered the show and gave audio volume feedback (services sometimes re-encode files lower). Tim fixed some broken links (RIP old Stitcher) and reminded listeners where to find the show (Apple, Spotify, YouTube, direct RSS). Technology Apple planning to add search ads to Maps (Nate and Tim not thrilled; fear of nickel-and-diming premium users). OpenAI in rough shape: burning ~$18M/day, Sora video platform shutting down, Disney exiting a $1B deal, potential IPO struggles, and scientific concerns about ChatGPT encouraging psychosis via constant affirmation. Micron RAM issues tied to OpenAI orders also impacted broader memory pricing. Anthropic's Claude AI had source code accidentally exposed in an update, leading to community "Claw Code" recreations. Artemis II successfully launched (despite April Fools timing causing momentary panic online). Crew is en route for a lunar flyby; they're using iPhone 17 Pros (first time an iPhone model is officially space-rated). Cool Earth photos and real-time mission updates shared. The episode is classic Fork in Your Ear: relaxed banter, deep game talk, honest opinions on media, relatable life gripes, and a mix of excitement and skepticism about tech/AI/space progress. Tim and Nate keep it real, funny, and grounded while covering a wide range of nerdy topics. Runtime vibe: Casual morning recording with occasional kid interruptions, tech troubleshooting, and plenty of laughs. Perfect for gamers, sci-fi fans, and anyone who enjoys two friends shooting the breeze.

In this episode, we're breaking down a week that has fundamentally shifted the tectonic plates of the gaming industry. First, we tackle the "Dream Team" success of Edmund McMillen's Mewgenics—a 14-year labor of love that proves deep, uncompromising design still wins. We also check in on the "Indie Renaissance" with the undercover alien chaos of Roadside Research and the friendship-ending, $8 orbital-laser mayhem of Super Battle Golf. Then, we shift to the "Big Two" and the strange decisions coming out of the corporate boardrooms. With Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond departing Xbox and Bluepoint Games officially shuttered by Sony, the leadership of console gaming is in a total state of flux. Why is PlayStation pivoting to a stylized Horizon live-service game that fans didn't ask for? Can the "New Guard" at Microsoft find a soul for Xbox? It's a discussion about creative risks, corporate safe-bets, and why the most exciting things in gaming right now aren't coming from the names you expect.

Mewgenics is de nieuwste hitgame van 2026, een combinatie van genres van de hand van Edmund McMillen, die ruim vijftien jaar terug indiegamehits Super Meat Boy en The Binding of Isaac maakte. Daniël Mol is in zijn nieuwste werk katten gaan fokken en vertelt er vol enthousiasme over bij Joe van Burik in deze Mini-Game-aflevering van All in the Game. Mewgenics is nu te spelen via Steam op Windows pc. Over All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook. Onder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Hermans en universiteit docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont, Ivo Klokman en Jeanne Heeremans. Elke week zijn er minimaal twee afleveringen van All in the Game. Of nog meer, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames, in onze rubriek Main Game. En regelmatig laten we iemand van BNR Nieuwsradio aanschuiven om te vertelen over diens favoriete game van vroeger in de Retro-rubriek. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld. Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis.

Between the success of Super Meat Boy and Binding of Isaac, you might assume designer Edmund McMillen is feeling confident going into the release of his latest game, the tactics-focused Mewgenics. But it turns out self esteem issues, insecurity, and hoping people like what you've made is not a feeling that ever goes away, no matter how many people buy your games.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pour ce nouvel épisode, on en a pour tous les goûts. Pour les amateurs d'actions qui veulent se faire mal, le nouveau Nioh 3 tabasse et nous impressionne pendant ses premières heures. Mewgenics, la nouvelle expérience du savant fou Edmund McMillen, impressionne par la profondeur de son gameplay une fois le choc du premier contact passé. Monster Hunter Stories 3 nous enchante par son univers coloré et ses mécaniques de JRPG bien rodées, et Reanimal nous promet une dose de cauchemars, au croisement entre Little Nightmares et Inside. Dans l'actu, on décrypte un Nintendo Direct qui annonce de belles sorties sur la Switch 2, avec en tête un catalogue de Capcom, qui semble avoir tout compris avant les autres. PlayStation annonce un nouveau Horizon, et il risque d'en surprendre plus d'un, les rumeurs se font de plus en plus précises autour d'une nouvelle console Xbox pour Microsoft, et Ghost of Yotei fait exploser les compteurs, succès remarquable pour ce qui est maintenant une franchise majeure de Sony. Valve de leur côté reconnaît être un peu trop silencieux au sujet de leur future Steam Machine, la faute à qui? À l'IA évidemment, qui continue de faire exploser les pris de la RAM.Bonne écoute à tous, comme toujours la Belle et le Gamer continue de couvrir l'actu de tous les jeux vidéo, de World of Warcraft à Fortnite en passant par Pokemon, en vous parlant des dernières nouveautés jeux vidéo, sur Playstation, Xbox, Switch et PC, tout en vous proposant les dernières critiques, et les rumeurs les plus croustillantes.Tout ça c'est possible grâce au soutien de nos formidables fans via Patreon, et pour les rejoindre, ça se passe par ici.Pour rejoindre la communauté de La Belle et le Gamer et nous soutenir, tous les liens utiles se trouvent à l'adresse suivante, y compris l'invitation pour rejoindre notre serveur Discord, et notre chaîne Twitch: https://linktr.ee/LBELG. On a hâte de vous retrouver!Hébergé par Ausha.

In 2011, Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl released The Binding of Isaac, a crude Flash project that grew into one of the most influential indie games of its era. We trace McMillen's path from comics to Super Meat Boy, his partnership with Himsl, and the deeply personal religious themes that shaped Isaac's grotesque story. The episode highlights its Zelda-inspired dungeons, roguelike randomization, and item transformations that turned every run into a new tale of survival. Our conversation explores critic and fan reactions, Nintendo's rejection over “blasphemous” content, and how expansions, remakes, and community mods expanded it into Rebirth, Afterbirth, and Repentance. From small experiment to genre-defining giant, we explore how Isaac sparked the roguelike revival. Join us as we dodge, cry, and descend into Isaac's basement on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Spelunky, part of a larger series on independent games. Tim uses the B word about the game, and we talk about the rigor with which one approaches the game, as well as some best practices for play, among other topics and listener mail. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played:  Into the Jungle (Tim) Issues covered: relative lack of text but narrative, blending between levels, the Tunnel Man, the gold key and the chest, triggering the golden path, bouncing off the game originally, practice and rigor, in the learning/knowledge phase, a platformer Tim would play, embracing the process, how you spend the time and how to learn, learning from deathly mistakes, Always Be Carrying, looking down, the brilliance of breaking the platformer mold, "this could be the run," the patterns of Spelunky, learning to play Chess, remembering in chunks, slipping into flow and staying, dying to the shopkeeper in a new way, stepping back with the analytical brain, how to use ropes, everything's physical, building up the things you can do, the Polaroid simulating after you die, similarities to Outer Wilds, sacrificing on the altar, the safe space of a coffin, making a choice, running vs not running, the exception that proves the rule, how the random seed works, animating a sprite on a curve, the first commercial game, frying a video card. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Rogue, Rogue Legacy (series), Dark Souls (series), Mario (series), Andy Nealen, Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Remnant II, Chess, LostLake86, Legend of Zelda, Cave Story, Sasha/scarytiger, Daisuke Amaya, Wii, Nintendo Switch, Luke Theriault, Derek Yu, Aquaria, Alec Holowka, Bit Blot, World of Goo, Gish, Edmund McMillen, Lugaru HD, Wolfire Games, Humble Bundle, Penumbra, Frictional Games, Amnesia, Ori and the Blind Forest, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: More Spelunky!

Kelly, James, and I look at Edmund McMillen's and Florian Himsel's "The Binding of Isaac." This wonderfully grotesque rouge like, is their shot in the dark when they didn't know it would be so well received. Come with us as we fawn over this game, and all its gross goodness.

Edmund McMillen's The Binding of Isaac helped kickstart the mainstreaming of roguelike elements in indie games that we have been seeing trickle into the AAA industry over the last few years. Mixing top-down shooting with the dungeon exploration of a classic The Legend of Zelda title, The Binding of Isaac plays pitch perfectly for what it's designed to be. The randomized elements fit together seamlessly for a gameplay experience that's never the same twice in a row.  Should this 2011 indie hit be considered one of the best games of all-time?
