Episode 22: Bionic Commando

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross latch onto the finer points of Bionic Commando.

Pro-tip: There is no jump button. Instead, you must use your rad bionic arm to swing into the hidden bases of the Badds (NOT THE NAZIS) and rescue your mentor and life-mate Super Joe. In the process, you’ll blow up lightning Hitler and escape a nuclear island by grappling to a helicopter.

Episode 21: Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross hurl mixed praise at Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy… With their minds.

You’re Nick Scryer (GET IT!?) and you can run, shoot, sneak, and bang people against walls like bloody, screaming rag dolls. Or make their heads explode. There’s a bunch of other stuff, with weird bosses and invisible monstrosities from beyond… But that’s all pretty bad. Let’s spend a lot of time talking about how fun TK is.
