It's hard to think of a more damning indictment of the state of the world in 2025 than the fact that a cheap RTS developed to shock people with gender stereotypes in 1996 is really tame in comparison to what happens today. What happens in this game is by no means good, but it plays in tropes that are so outdated as to be cartoonish. Tim HomeImprovement would tell it to get better material.

Dynamite Dux is a forgotten Sega arcade beat-em-up with a profoundly cursed aura. Play five minutes of it and tell me this game isn't haunted to hell and back. Then, come with us as we talk about the raunchy easter egg that took people 30 years to uncover.

We may be seeing the end of console exclusives. CodeNames publisher faces backlash for Harry Potter version.

Picking games to cover on Abject Suffering is hard. We don't like hitting ones that have been talked to death. So sometimes we just grab something with a name that calls out to us. What's a Troddler? What does a Troddler mean for my life? We never would have guessed that Troddlers, a game nobody has heard of, might actually be a pretty fun puzzle game. Color us shocked!

Kaye, Ben, Dennis, and Moxie talk about Kaizen: A Factory Story, Look Outside, Descenders Next, and much more! The Grind: Ben: House Flipper. Skin Deep. Skald: Against the Black Priory. Kaye: Look Outside. Dennis: Descenders Next. Kaizen: A Factory Story. Moxie: NOTHING. The Multiplayer: Assign someone a game to play as punishment. The End Boss: Splitgate 2 goes back to beta.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Jeremy Greer talk about Lothric Castle. Reposted in remembrance of our good friend Jeremy Greer.

Wild Woody is a swan-song for a system nobody owned, built around a power fantasy nobody has ever had. Who wants to be a pencil? So we introduce a much more tempting fantasy… How many hot dogs could you be trusted with?

This very special episode takes a break from Dark Souls 3 to count down Gary and Jeremy Greer's bottom ten Soulsborne areas! This episode is brought to you by Gary's lovely Kickstarter backers who made Souls of Darkness a reality. Stay tuned for more specials! 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 “Short'nin' Bread” instead.

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.

Kaye, Dennis, Jala, and Moxie talk about the Alters, Songs of Conquest, Finity, and much more! The Grind: Jala: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Nina Aquila: Legal Eagle Chapter IV: Sacred Feathers. Dagon. Songs of Conquest. Dennis: The Alters. Finity. Moxie: FBC: Firebreak. The Division 2. Kaye: The Labyrinth of the Demon King. The Multiplayer: What's your most beloved janky, broken game? The End Boss: 11bit caught using AI in the creation of The Alters. Game developers are being accused of using AI when they absolutely didn't. Relooted is a game about heisting back stolen artifacts from museums. The Halo team is about to announce something, probably a new Halo thing.

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.

Kaye, Ben, Dennis, and Moxie talk about FBC: Firebreak, SplitGate 2, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, and much more! The Grind: Moxie: The Division 2. FBC: Firebreak. Dennis: FBC: Firebreak. Control. iRacing. SplitGate 2. Lost in Random. Lost in Random: The Eternal Die. Ben: Not Marvel Snap. Magic the Gathering. Super AutoPets Kaye: Labyrinth of the Demon King. Rocksmith 2014. The Multiplayer: Details that make a game world feel more alive. The End Boss: Killswitch Switch 2 case fails at the one job it has. They sold NexusMods, uh oh!

Have we talked about Spider-Man more than any other superhero on this show? Maybe Batman is up there. And Gary has definitely shoehorned “Turn Off the Dark” 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!

Episode Description: Kaye, Ben, and Jala talk about The Labyrinth of the Demon King, a shitload of Steam NextFest demos, and much more! The Grind: Kaye: Labyrinth of the Demon King.

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.

Kaye, Ben, Jala, and Moxie talk about Mario Kart World, KARMA: The Dark World, Skald: Against the Black Priory, and much more! The Grind: Jala: Without a Dawn. KARMA: The Dark World. Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp. Kaye: Mario Kart World. Moxie: The Division 2. Ben: Skald: Against the Black Priory. The Multiplayer: Best trolls The End Boss: Resident Evil 9: Requiem announced. They're making a Phasmophobia movie. VR game seeks to reverse nearsightedness. Big Walk is a neat looking multiplayer game that uses positional voice chat well.

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.

Kaye, Ben, Dennis, and Moxie talk about Parasocial, Pacific Drive, [SUBJECT], and much more! The Grind: Ben: Expedition 33: Clair Obscur. Pacific Drive. Dennis: Smash Hit. What the Car. Doom: The Dark Ages. Moxie: Fallen London. Borderlands 3. Kaye: [SUBJECT]. Parasocial. The Multiplayer: What AAA game successfully avoided pandering to you? The End Boss: Alex Garland to write and direct the Elden Ring movie. Neil Druckman ruins the ending of The Last of Us. Switch 2 might have USB mouse support?

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.

Kaye, Dennis, and Moxie talk about Doom: The Dark Ages, Lost Records: Bloom and Rage, Void Crew, and much more! The Grind: Kaye: Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. Rocksmith 2014 Remastered. Dennis: Doom: The Dark Ages. Moxie: Void Crew. Fallen London. The Multiplayer: Let's talk about video games within video games! The End Boss: Epic creates Darth Vader chatbot, ethical minefield. Sephiroth's sword changes length, canonically.

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 “The Duke of Doubt”.

Kaye, Dennis, Jala, and Moxie talk about Alterium Shift, Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, and much more! The Grind: Jala: Alterium Shift. Ace Attorney Investigations Collection. Venba. Of Bird and Cage. Dennis: Hill Climb Racing. Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders. Moxie: Void Crew. Dying Light 2. Fallen London. Kaye: TankInfinity. The Multiplayer: What's a game you can enjoy even when you're not doing well at it? The End Boss: New Mafia game launching at $50, bucking trend of raising prices. We've had to deal with the Leeroy Jenkins meme for 20 years.

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. “Why is one of the hosts named differently? What happened!?” 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.

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

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.
