Episode 109: Paper Mario (Part 2)

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross wrap up their series on Paper Mario.

Last week, we sprinted across the finish line with gusto. Chapter 3 was one of the strongest in the game. However this week, Paper Mario hits some doldrums before ultimately coming out just fine.

Episode 108: Paper Mario (Part 1)

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross tear into Paper Mario.

Simplicity and charm are two things you rarely find in JRPGs, but Paper Mario has both. It takes everything you know about the Mario universe, and runs it through a filter of pure joy. Join us for our "it's technically still Summer" JRPG, as we talk about the first three chapters of Paper Mario.

Episode 46: Mario Golf / Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross chip into a kickflip to talk about both Mario Golf and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.

We were originally going to talk about Mario Golf 64, but it wasn't robust enough. So, in a first for the show, we expanded our discussion to the entire series. Our conclusion is that it isn't Mario enough, and it isn't golf enough.

Boy do we hope you like music, because the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater discussion is littered with it. There's little to dislike about this awesome entry in a mostly bad series. Bring the noise.
