2 CommentsWhat? Are you snickering at the episode title?
Get you’re mind out of the gutter! “Boning” is a technical term used in 3D character animation. Let Zachary tell you all about it (7:40). He also offers up his impressions on the first four episodes of Luke Cage (15:07). After that, EZK and Andrew discuss the Will Smith movie Hancock and develop a theory explainign why Superman is such a dick in the recent movies (38:53). After that, we comment on Phil Spencer’s comments on Xbox One (45:24).
Leave a CommentAndrew may be available to podcast at any time but Zachary has a life so in order to accommodate our resident, life-having family man, we’ve decided to permanently move the show to 7p PST on Saturday nights. Yep, just an hour later than normal. Hope that’s not too inconvenient for anyone!
This week’s podcast was a pretty laid back affair. We continue Kicking the Bucket List, revealing super duper interesting aspects of our lives such as if we’ve ever been in the paper, jumped out of a plane or ridden an elephant (20:53) and discuss various super popular games that we just don’t like (27:13).
Leave a CommentEZK and I start out this week’s podcast talking about comic books, cause why not? We then continue Kicking the Bucket List, revealing super interesting things about ourselves such as whether we’ve ever been in the back of a police car and which celebrities we’ve met (14:40) and finally discuss how Sega and Capcom earned internet cookies this week by, respectively, not DMCA-ing a fan game and announcing no microtransactions in Resident Evil VII (44:40).
Positive feedback is a wonderful thing but are our expectations of the AAA game industry really so low that we celebrate companies simply for not doing the things we hate?

2 CommentsOn this week’s show Andrew and EZK continue through the Bucket List and discover a few things that Zachary has done that Andrew has not (27:04)! Zachary reveals his picks for a prospective SNES Classic Edition game lineup (42:55) then Andrew shares his (1:00:56). They cap it off by going through their viewers’ copious recommendations of awesome SNES games (1:40:28).
Did I say we capped it there? Oops. Andrew finishes out the show by talking a bit about his approach to the use of profanity and potentially offensive humor in his YouTube videos (2:02:14).
