This is an episode about Crystalis...sort of...this week the Spindash hosts find themselves very distracted by midlife crisis purchases, arcade machines, Mark Zuckerberg, obscure movies, and random game lists. Yes, we do talk about Crystalis, but it always serves as a jumping point for some other wild tangent. This should not come as any shock to regular listeners.
To our faithful listeners: give up on MGS, it is never happening. We're stringing you along and it's just not healthy...Don't let that get you down though, this week the Spindash hosts tackle one of Matt's childhood favorites, Ninja Gaiden for the NES (that's Ninja GUY-DEN for those in the back). Along the way, John attempts to feign modesty over a pickup bumper crop, the highlight of his year. Nick's internet then proceeds to die more frequently than we did playing this game - it's not Spindash if it isn't plagued with technical difficulties.
Matt, Nick and John collect an army of animal companions and set out to ring in the new year with this extremely expensive Zelda clone for the Genesis. Stick around at the end for our 2021 plans.
The Spindash hosts attempt to recover from their weekend ice fishing trip by, you guessed it, drinking even more (and of course talking about video games). Grab a vodka martini and join us on the Skyrail for Nightfire.
John coaxes Nick and Matt out of school with the use of an ice cream truck, and then proceeds to run them over in week's bug-filled episode. As the hosts struggle with John's pick, time travel is debated, multiverses are discussed, all by three hosts that have no business discussing complicated things.
Like the royal dung beetles that they are, the Spindash hosts attempt to rebuild the sky by rolling batteries, giant squid and skyscrapers into a neatly packed ball in this week's game, Katamari Damacy.
The Spindash hosts find themselves trapped inside a magic music box in this week's look at Gameboy Color classic. Join us as we are crushed, frozen, shocked, inflated, turned into a zombie, burnt, and fed donuts until grossly obese. Join us for Wario Land 3.
Much delayed and violently smooth, our first episode of 2022. This week the Spindash hosts unleash those dirty ol' rollerblades and fight for turf in the dystopian city of Tokyo-to. Spraying and skating, those those trouble-making punks take time to celebrate the one-punch knockout that is the Sega Dreamcast. Spinning the crazy tracks, battling dancing gangs and swat teams, we're going full Y2K. Get yourselves to the bathroom and brush those teeth, boys and girls, cause a whole loada trouble is heading your way! Join us for Jet Grind Radio!
Matt leads the unsung heroes of S.T.A.R.S., Nick Redfield and John Valentine, on a terrifying tour of the Spencer Mansion. Along the way, a significant amount of time is spent talking about Barry Burton's pearls of wisdom, android conspiracy theories, and the S.T.A.R.S. application process. The perfect episode to kick off Halloween.
