Support my work on Patreon (https://patreon.com/realdavejackson) I was admittedly very late to the King's Field and Shadow Tower bandwagons, energized by my love for FromSoftware's modern titles and a desire to dig into their history some more. However, I didn't anticipate loving those games so much that I wanted more like them, and that's where Kira LLC's Lunacid (2023) entered the fray. Lunacid is a fantastic game, leaning more on the exploration and vibes of those FromSoftware dungeon crawlers than the opaque RPG mechanics, capturing the spirit in a modern way. A true indie success- listen in to find out why.

In the 3rd hour, Dover and Cecil heard from Patrick Surtain Sr. saying that he would've loved to see PS2 go up against Randy Moss in his prime. How important are the first five games of the Broncos season? Who is the Broncos' rookie to watch this season? The fellas talked about Bo Nix saying that it's great that he doesn't have to worry about his footwork anymore. 

It took us a few years but we got the band back together to talk the last Sly game for Ps2, and the last one made by Sucker Punch.  A game that really trys to be different then Sly 1 and 2. Come hear what we felt about all the Mini games and different styles of play. Starring Mike Albertin, Emanuel and Nick.

Burnout in medicine: When was burnout at its peak for doctors? Why are doctors so burnt out? What causes burnout in health care? Is there a National Burnout Study? Our guest is Michael Tutty, PhD, group vice president of Professional Satisfaction and Practice Sustainability at the American Medical Association. AMA CXO Todd Unger hosts.

It doesn't matter if you're first to an idea, if you don't execute it well enough, someone else can swoop in and steal your thunder before you even manage to throw your lightning. That's the case with Stampede: Racing, a battle royale kart racer where you start with 60 players and gradually whittle it down to one after reaching select checkpoints during a race. Sound familiar? It should, because it's basically Mario Kart World's Knockout Tour mode (and also way more similar to something like Fall Guys than Fortnite). Now, I don't know if Stampede was actually first to this idea, but I think we can all agree Knockout Tour refined the idea and made it into something that's tons of fun and will last in a way Stampede never was and will never get a chance to be.

Here is a episode I Never would of expected to be on the show.  Due to me feeling bad about not having someone in Gitaroo man we covered all 3 of the Parappa games.... two Ps1 games and the Ps2 title.  Come hear what we thought about these strange, strange games.  Don't forget to have that Funky Flow, and I really got to go.  Starring Mike Albertin, Phoebe Stanton, Michael Colby.

Behold the first part of my review of Grounded. It's been a long time coming. I tried playing and streaming the game once before, but got so annoyed with the chat that I rage quit both the game and streaming for years. Fast-forward to now and things are very different, not only did chat never bother me when I streamed the game--you can check out the archive for my entire playthrough if you want--I also had a great time with the game and look forward to playing and seeing more (even though I will never not be scared whenever a spider shows up).

Switch 2 Impressions, State of Play, Summer Game Fest | Spawncast 417 by Spawn Wave

This week! We recorded this episode BEFORE the Switch 2 launched, so there are no impressions in this one (that'll be next week). Instead, we talk about what we're doing with our Switch 1s, memories of the launch of Switch 1, stories of some of the other consoles we got at launch, and much, much more.

This week, we've got a double billing of PS2 games for you. First up is Babe (2006), the very late and very abhorrent licensed movie tie-in. Then, as a palate cleanser, we talk about Rayman Revolution (2000), the enhanced PS2 port of Rayman 2: The Great Escape. This will be our last PS2 Fast PS2 Furious episode for some time, while we shift our focus to Portable Ops (PSP). But rest assured, we will be back.

Warmest of Welcomes everyone and SURPRISE! State of Play returned and myself (Max) and Kevin joined by special guest Heera couldn't help but have a very informal discussion about some of the meaty games that were shown during the mini showcase. Marvel Tokon looks awesome but has Marvel fatigue softened the impact this game could of truely had? Is 007 First Light going to be IO's biggest game ever? Max is truely surprised by the unexpected revival of Metal Gear Online 1 originally released as a multiplayer mode for MGS3:Subsistance for PS2. Tides of Tomorrow reminds Kevin that Tides of Annihilation isn't here. Heera premptively jumps straight into the main topic. We hope you enjoy this silly little bonus show. Be excellent to eachother Max

I had a taste for more Star Wars after playing through both Star Wars Jedi games and rewatching most of the movies and shows. I could have played something new, something I never played before, but opted for something I remembered fondly: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. My memory of the game was that it wasn't amazing, but achieved what it set out to do: deliver a satisfying Jedi power fantasy; however, sometimes things are left best as memories and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is exactly that. Instead of getting the power fantasy I expected, I got a frustrating reality of sadness and disappointment.

Broforce is a lot of fun...until it isn't. What do I mean by this? I don't mean what you probably think--that it's fun for a while and eventually stops being fun--but that it's best enjoyed in small doses instead of large ones. I played Broforce two nights in a row for roughly four hours each night and the same thing happened both nights: after about hour two, I started to get annoyed and frustrated with the game and stopped enjoying it. Long story short, I'd recommend Broforce to most--especially if you have a friend or two to play it with (even though it can get quite hectic)--just make sure you keep your sessions on the shorter side if you don't want to lose your mind.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to ESPN’s Bill Barnwell’s lack of excitement for Evan Engram in a Broncos jersey. Will Sean Payton be able to put Engram in situations to be successful and be a mismatch for defenders? Should Broncos Country be concerned with Evan Engram’s ability to break tackles? We look back at the Broncos target share in 2024 for their skill position players, and project what the target share will be for offensive players in 2025. Will Evan Engram and RJ Harvey walk in to the Broncos and be top targets for Bo Nix? How would Broncos Country feel about Patrick Surtain potentially participating in the Olympics for flag football? Would Sean Payton give PS2 his blessing to miss some of training camp to play in the Olympics? Zach shares his insight on the Nuggets and Jamal Murray being at odds over him playing in the 2024 Olympics. Do the Nuggets have a chance of reuniting with their former general manager, Tim Connelly?

This week, John and Ryan welcome Sean and Will from PlayStation Ain't Dead for a gaming-packed discussion! The crew kicks things off by sharing their latest gaming pickups and what they've been diving into lately. Then, the big debate: Will the Nintendo Switch 2 capture the same magic as its predecessor, or will casual gamers skip this one? The podcasters weigh in on the potential hurdles for Nintendo's next-gen hybrid. Next, a former Sony executive has stirred controversy with comments on Xbox Game Pass—could the subscription model be hurting the industry more than helping? The team tackles the discussion from all sides. Finally, they take a deep dive into the bizarre and oddly compelling Mr. Mosquito for the PS2. Is this cult classic worth revisiting, or should it stay in the past?   Articles covered: https://www.theverge.com/games/677301/the-switch-2s-promising-start-hides-an-uncertain-future   https://www.gamesradar.com/platforms/playstation/former-playstation-boss-says-subscription-services-like-xbox-game-pass-could-become-dangerous-for-devs-and-that-sony-delivers-a-healthier-model-with-ps-plus/      Want more Game Deflators content?

Read transcriptHULK SMASH… your expectations! This week on Play Comics, we're going green with rage as we dive into 2005's The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction – the game that asked the important question: “What if we gave players the power to literally punch a helicopter out of the sky and then use a bus as a baseball bat?” Developed by Radical Entertainment for the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube, this comic book adaptation threw subtlety out the window faster than Banner throws a tantrum. Forget stealth missions or carefully planned strategies – this game was all about embracing your inner gamma-powered toddler and turning entire city blocks into your personal sandbox of destruction. Joining us for this episode of controlled chaos is Matt Storm from the fantastic podcasts “Fun” and Games and Reignite! They'll help us explore how this title managed to capture the pure, unadulterated joy of being an unstoppable force of nature with anger management issues. Together, we'll discuss whether throwing cars at military helicopters counts as a valid combat strategy, and why sometimes the best solution to every problem is just… more smashing. So strap in, podcast listeners – we're about to go from zero to “HULK STRONGEST THERE IS!” faster than you can say “you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.” Warning: No buildings, vehicles, or military installations were harmed in the making of this episode… but we can't make the same promise about our gaming controllers. HULK PODCAST! Learn such things as: Does anyone want to play as Bruce Banner? Will anyone write a comic based on a game that's based on a comic? Is this game just a modern retelling of Rampage? And if so, is that a problem? And so much more!

I've always been a naysayer about Fortnite's move to the battle royale space--I am one of the weirdos who liked Fortnite when it was just Save the World--so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but I always found Realm Royale more fun that Fortnite. It wasn't good enough to pull me away from Apex Legends when I was deep in the battle royale space, but if there was any runner-up for me amongst the crowd, it was Realm Royale, so with that, let's pour one out for this here game that had a good run and is no longer with us. Cheers Realm Royale, you were one of the good ones.

It's another patron request, sans Billy, as we take on Baldur's Gate : Dark Alliance for the PS2!  It was also released on the XBox, GameCube, and even the GBA, but we both played it on the PS2 for this episode.  This is a Diablo-style game, but based in the world of Dungeons and Dragons, and has a far more action-arcade style than the previous Baldur's Gate games had -- but is that good or bad? LateToGaming who picked this game for us to play can be found many places, but he recommended Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/latetogaming/ Want to jump right to the game?  Charge your shot for the 11:20 mark.

Believe it or not, but this forgotten game was one of the games that inspired Attack the Backlog. I still remember thinking it looked so cool on PlayStation 4, but never getting around to it because I was all-in on Xbox One to start that generation. By the time I got a PlayStation 4, it felt like the moment had passed and I might as well wait for a hopeful Xbox One port. Fast-forward four years and it would finally make its way to Xbox, Switch, and Vita and...I still didn't play it. Now, some seven years later, I've finally scratched Mercenary Kings off my backlog and, sadly, it couldn't help but disappoint with repetitive and tedious missions, weird customization choices, and occasionally frustrating difficulty spikes.

It only took us 5 years.... but we cover the last of the Numbered X games, Mega Man X8.  After they did a game about trying new things, they went back to what worked.  We have a game that feels like a classic Mega Man X game with a fresh coat of paint of what the Ps2 can do. We talk X8 and also rank the series.  Come hear what we think of Mega Man X8.

A combination of uninspired gameplay and a completely bonkers handling of its release are just two of the factors that led to MultiVersus wasting a treasure trove of IP; add a poor microtransaction structure and spotty server connectivity on top of that and you've got a recipe for disaster, and a disaster is exactly what MultiVersus was. It's a shame, too, because with better gameplay and a better handling of its great cast of characters, MultiVersus had the potential to be one of the few live service success stories, but alas, a success story it was not.

Gameplay woes and character issues aside, the team over at Naughty Dog pulled off the impossible: they not only made me not hate Abby, they made me like her so much I think she may just be the new best character in the series. Unlike Ellie, Abby actually shows growth and an ability to make her own decisions, whereas Ellie becomes a less interesting character the longer the game goes on, eventually becoming someone I almost, kind of, don't like anymore--the final confrontation is a perfect showcase of the how feelings have changed from the beginning of the playthrough to the end of it. While I still don't think Naughty Dog is the best at gameplay, they prove with The Last of Us Part II that they still know how to make one hell of a story.

Medieval Doom featuring spaceships and robots. Let's introduce a few games here. First, comes Doom: The Dark Ages, id's new prequel to Doom 2016 and its sequel, the legendary Doom Eternal. It's a game that takes a little of what makes the others so good and gives it a unique identity, primarily from its incredible new shield mechanic. And then we take you back to the PS2 glory days with Rockstar's Bully, one of the company's more interesting takes. We've also got a thought or two on game key cards as the countdown to the Switch 2 continues! Check out our BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap!

Is Sony About To Raise The PS5 Price? | Click R3 #23 by Spawn Wave

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil examine the landscape of the NBA playoffs. Now with an injury to Jayson Tatum and Steph Curry, how wide open is the competition for the NBA championship? Will Jokic finally have a breakout game in this series? Will the Nuggets be able to push the series to a game 7 even if they can’t win tonight in Oklahoma City? Zach has a theory as to why SGA will not be receiving the NBA MVP award tonight and it involves someone else winning the award. Today’s “Three Count” includes Sean Payton and George Paton sitting courtside together at the Nuggets playoff game and Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson getting off the banned list for the MLB Hall of Fame. Zach and Phil react to NFL.com’s list of the 10 best rookie fits after the draft. Is Jahdae Barron in the perfect situation having PS2 and Riley Moss to lean on? We hear from Sean Payton and his early thoughts on Barron.

Prepare your beam sabers and polish your Zaku helmets-this episode of Play Comics is about to launch straight into the Universal Century! We're diving headfirst into the PS2 classic Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs Zeon, where the only thing more intense than the space battles is trying to pronounce “RX-78-2” three times fast. Joining the fray is none other than Derek Van Dyke from Super Deluxe GamesCast and Castle Bravo, who's here to help us decide once and for all: Is it better to fight for the Federation, or is life just more fun in a mono-eyed mobile suit? Expect hot takes, cooler mobile suits, and at least one attempt to dodge a colony drop with nothing but sheer podcasting bravado. So grab your joystick, pick a side, and get ready for a barrage of wit, wisdom, and way too many references to Newtypes. The One Year War has never sounded this entertaining. Learn such things as: How real is the science of Gundam? Do you really have to play as one of the characters to have a game that feels right? If I thought of a story arc that already existed, does that make me a genius or just guilty of pre-plagarism? And so much more!

In this laid-back, smoke-along episode, Jesse and Brandon explore the wild world of mystery weed—those forgotten jars or baggies of old cannabis that reappear just when you're low. They talk about the flavor, effects, and degradation of old weed, how to repurpose dry flower, and whether vacuum sealing is a good long-term storage solution. The vibe is nostalgic, funny, and relatable, especially for stoners who've ever dug through drawers or jars and hit the surprise jackpot.
