Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Jeremy Greer reconvene to take a more in-depth look at PVP in Dark Souls. Reposted in remembrance of our good friend Jeremy Greer.
Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Jeremy Greer talk about the basics of PVP in Dark Souls. Reposted in remembrance of our good friend Jeremy Greer.
Arachnophobia is now mostly forgotten, but it was once a beloved one-off horror comedy movie about extremely virile spiders overtaking a small town. Then they made a game out of it, and it was very boring! So we talk about Brian Wilson's obsession with āShort'nin' Breadā instead.
Does this have the least good soundtrack of the original run of Tony Hawk games? Probably! Does it still kick a good amount of ass? Yes. THPS3 continues broadening the scope of the beloved skateboarding franchise, with one key idea: More. More secret areas, more goofy levels, more ways to extend your combo! Check out this sweet kickflip!
We don't know anything about soccer, but we DO know things about Mega Man. Unfortunately, this game leans more on the soccer side of the equation. So we default back to the last time either of us played sports: in gym class. We also talk about our recent trips to festivals, both Renaissance and Pride.

You've seen immersive sims before, but have you ever played one where you sneeze? Skin Deep is a cute, weird, immersive sim with indie sensibilities. Your character doesn't wear shoes, you carry the heads of your enemies around in your inventory, and it all takes place on a spaceship.

To prove just how dead in the water Sega was in the mid-1990s, they bet big on Bug!, a very slow 2.5D platformer that began life as a Sonic game. The Sega Saturn was a system in search of an identity, and boy howdy, Bug! did not provide it.
We spilled the bowl, and only questions came out. Upcoming Games: July: -Skin Deep -Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 -Cyperpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty -The Talos Principle August: -Metroid: Zero Mission -Split Fiction (with Will Hughes) -Mercenaries: World of Destruction
Have we talked about Spider-Man more than any other superhero on this show? Maybe Batman is up there. And Gary has definitely shoehorned āTurn Off the Darkā into more episodes than is necessary. But this is the first time we've really camped out on the Sinister Six, one of the more incoherent supervillain groups of all time. Also, take a look at Spider-Man's sprites for this game. He's so schlubby!
Back when Fromsoft used to experiment in the B-tier game mines, they made a bizarre Real Time card battle game. That game is Lost Kingdoms, and this is our Summer JRPG. Sometimes life takes you to unexpected places. Unlock the full episode at patreon.com/duckfeedtv

Folks, Gary chose to harm all of us by picking this game for Abject Suffering. Part of the shovelware dance game craze of about fifteen years ago, the Black Eyed Peas Experience ranks pretty low on the list of things we've covered. And that list is long.
In this spin-off of a spin-off, C&C assumes the Allies are victorious in C&C Red Alert 2, which is why Yuri is out for Revenge. Use your units and strategic wits to outsmart the enemy, and as a reward you will get to see some of the silliest cutscenes ever made.
Covering Guardian War right after Paperboy 64 is a one-two punch of some of the most hideous games we've played. But looking past its shoddy veneer, Guardian War is kind of interesting, if insufficient. Of all of the 3DO games we've played, this is the one that's most like an actual video game⦠being a kind of over-the-shoulder tactics RPG. Gary also underwent a harrowing medical experience, so we had to talk about that too.
We found a few more doors to check. The Last Door returns with a few more episodes to show off it's unique lo-fi adventure game style. While we're still fans, the second game doesn't work for us quite as much as the first. Still lots of cool stuff to talk about though!
Would you believe that the Paperboy game for the N64 would be one of the ugliest things we've covered for this show? It seems like that would be hard to accomplish, given the competition, but this game's spindly polygonal horrors are genuinely unnerving.
We've already killed viruses, parasites and fungi, what could possibly be waiting for us in the future? Heck, what would we do with it? Upcoming Games: June: * The Last Door Seson 2 * Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge * Lost Kingdoms July: * Skin Deep * Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 * Cyberpunk2077: Phantom Liberty * The Talos Principle
Make no mistake: This is a game created for a furry vore comic⦠but it's such a mild example of what we can only assume is fetish material that all we're left with is a pretty okay Popeye arcade game clone. So we talk about the many faces of Gordon Ramsey instead.
What if combat was less about hitting your opponent, and more about circling around them at very high speeds? Ace Combat 4 is one of the genre standards for the dog-fighting genre. There aren't that many games in there, so when people like one it generally stands out. But is there enough there to entertain the non-fan of the genre? And how did they manage to add an alternate reality plot to this?
People have been asking us to cover the Burger King games for as long as this show has existed. They fit the remit of Abject Suffering so perfectly! But emulation is difficult, and we wanted to make absolutely sure we could play these games perfectly, so we could avoid talking about them and instead dwell on how the Burger King corporation wasted a character with the amazing name āThe Duke of Doubtā.
Time to join Chris, Sherry and Jake, and Ada, as they do the same shit Leon did last episode.
One of our least favorite game coverage schticks is pretending that a game's concept is so wacky that you can't understand it. You play as a mosquito who's tormenting a family, and it's a flight sim? Okay, cool, I get it. A domino wants to run little courses? Sure, why would I try to stop him? A studio's whole deal is putting aquatic life in strange situations? This can totally fit in my brain and it would diminish us all to pretend that's not the case.
How many zombies is too many zombies? Probably about one campaign of Resident Evil 6. Prepare to be worn down until you don't like this pretty good game with the sheer amount of content it offers.
Listen, Mercenary Force isn't a bad game at all. It's actually quite interesting, if a bit too hard. A side scrolling shooter where you control four feudal Japanese warriors? It's a good premise! Nobody knows what Gary was thinking when he brought this one. āWhy is one of the hosts named differently? What happened!?ā Kaye is transitioning! Find out more here.

Do you dare to feel satisfied? Build a dream factory on a mostly uninhabited alien planet. Build it again once you realize how much more efficientiely you could do it. This week we are joined by special guest Ben Merkel from the Level, since the game takes hundreds of hours to properly play. Rest up, Gary.
Our cup runneth over with questions. Here are your spilled questions.
Given how many super soldiers there are out there, you'd think there would be more social support for them. Groups, meetings, organizations. Shit, did I just reinvent the Venture Bros. from first principles? Come in and find out! āWhy is one of the hosts named differently? What happened!?ā Kaye is transitioning! Find out more here.

Before listening to this episode, please complete this towers of Hanoi puzzle. Upcoming WOFF Games: May: * Satisfactory (w/ Ben Merkle) * Resident Evil 6 * Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies June: * The Last Door: Season 2 * Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge (w/ Brayton Cameron) * Lost Kingdoms
This week a patron demand takes us into a discussion about a game that Gary likes quite a bit. The Jurassic Park SNES game is open world, mixed perspective, and overall a huge surprise, since Ocean doesn't usually do work this interesting.
Way back when, when it felt like horror games were few and far between, we would settle for The Suffering. It's a real B-delivery of some A-level ideas. If you have nostalgia, it's justified, if you don't have nostalgia, wow what a weird game. Plus, there's a morality system based on how well you can not hit the NPCs.

It's the future. You're on a gameshow. You need to wipe out the speed gangs with vigilante car violence, murdering every last one of them⦠for real! But not really though. But really, it's VR. But it's LIKE death. But not death. We can't emphasize enough how unlike and like real death this is.
He's not quite a knight, he's not quite a gladiator. He's just Rygar. And he's going to... defeat the Animalized Men Wriggling Eerily. Come join us in this proto-Metroidvania and we see what strange design decisions were made during the wild west era of early console gaming.
Cybermania ā94 [See Adaptation Decay 97, true believers!-- Grinning Gwen] reminded us that there's a Dennis Miller game on the 3DO. And we figured we might as well take a deep dive into a guy who sucks, via talking about a very strange multimedia product from the nineties.
No role-playing today, kids! Just time for that sweet tappa-tappa. Grind for gear, slay some jellied cubes, and enjoy killing some time in this Diablo-clone with a Dungeons and Dragons skin.
We'll be honest, this isn't a bad game. A Tony Hawk game will generally have a high floor for quality, unless it's Downhill Jam or something. No, this is here because you voted for it, and it's also the most Bam Margera you're going to get in a video game by volume. And though we love Jackass, there's a lot to dislike about ol' Bam Bam himself.
Why? This is the question of religion. Also, how, what, huh, whazzat and bwuh? But how do video games handle these questions religiously? Join us, as we explore this mystery. Upcoming Games: April: -Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (Rerun) -Rygar -The Suffering May: -Satisfactory (Kole and Ben Merkle) -Resident Evil 6 (Two-parter) -Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies
A sub-par Guitar Hero clone that doesn't list band names or anything. Just shitty, shitty covers of pop songs.
It's not quite a blobber and it's quite an Ultima, so what is it? Might and Magic is a huge series and number 6 is a strange entry. You can recruit townspeople, tanks are pointless, and there are dungeons scattered about the map like litter. Join us, won't you? Unlock the full episode at patreon.com/duckfeedtv
What would it take to get you interested in football? Knights? Ogres? Vikings? Oh, none of the above⦠Well, you're going to be very disappointed with this week's game then. We'll work on making tennis cooler next.
What do video games and religion have in common? The points don't matter! INDIKA is a walking-sim adjacent indie adventure game that is largely a vehicle for philosophical debates. You might think that sounds a little pretentious, but the writing is actually stellar and we encourage everyone to check this out.
For our very special 600th episode, we talk about the most video game-shaped thing you could get that wasn't a video game: the Tiger Handheld Electronics game. These heavily licensed consolation prizes were barely interactive, made heinous noises, and were ubiquitous in the early nineties. You can play many of them on the Internet Archive, but why would you?
Have you ever wonder what it would be like to be a pilot who also had to juggle? That's the kind of hard hitting question Hammerfight tries to answer.
I know we ask for the asks, but the asks just don't stop coming. Upcoming Games: March: * Hammerfight * INDIKA * Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven April: * Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (Rerun) * Rygar * The Suffering
Skald - n. a composer and reciter of poems honoring heroes and their deeds. While you can't recruit a Skald in your party, oddly, you can hone and craft a party of heroes in this updated retro-style Blobber. It wants to introduce you to a genre that's generally unfriendly to newcomers. Full episode available exclusively to our patrons at patreon.com/duckfeedtv
This episode is a quick announcement to let you know that the way you get Duckfeed's premium content is changing. Patreon now offers individual feeds of all of our backer-only shows. This gives you control over what your podcast player downloads, and what you ultimately listen to. Since Patreon itself has this feature, we will no longer be using the individual show feeds on Fireside for our premium content. Those feeds will no longer be updated. Here's what you need to do: You will now need to subscribe to each show you want to listen to individually through Patreon. The process is very simple, just go to the Membership tab on our Patreon page. I've also created a detailed guide for you in the pinned post on our Patreon page. (https://www.patreon.com/posts/122629571) The delivery of public episodes isn't changing at this time. (So to get both the public and premium episodes of Watch Out for Fireballs!, you will need to subscribe to both the feed provided on Patreon and the public feed on watchoutforfireballs.com. I apologize for this duplication, there just isn't a way to handle it better at the moment). Very little else is changing at the moment. You will still get email notifications about every episode we post, regardless of what shows you subscribe to. If you miss the combined feed of all of our shows, what we called the firehose, we're sorry that it went away. You can recreate the effect either by using an RSS feed combiner service, or using features in the podcast app you already use to group shows together into one list of episodes. This feature is called Stations in Apple Podcasts, Overcast calls it Smart Playlists, Podcast Addict calls it Playlists. Pocketcasts doesn't have an option for this as far as I know. Patreon's multi-show RSS feature is still in testing, and there may be hiccups. This is also just one of many changes Patreon is making to make podcasting on their platform better for everyone, so expect more features in the near future. If you have any feedback about the experience, please write at info@duckfeed.tv. To sweeten the pot if this change makes you want to back us for the first time, or to become a patron again, use the code MULTIFEED (all one word) to get 20% off the first month of a new subscription.
