Episode 36: Shadowrun (SNES)

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross learn the true name of Shadowrun (SNES).

You're Jake Armitage, but you don't know that. You wake up dead in a city crawling with people who want you to be even deader. You point and click and shoot your way to answers about who you are, and who killed you. This is a weird, weird game, but we kind of liked it.

Episode 35: Fallout (Part 2)

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross offer glowing praise for the last half of Fallout.

Your vault has water. Hooray! Now you just have to deal with the big green dudes. It's a story as old as time, with irradiated ruins, power armor, and TV monsters straight out of Videodrome.

Episode 33: Metal Gear Solid

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross engage in a protracted codec conversation expositionizing about Metal Gear Solid.

You're Solid Snake. Your twin brother is threatening the world with an unprecedented nuclear walking battle tank made of existing technology. It's up to you, your codec radio, and hours of cut scenes to save the world as we know it. This game is an utter treat, and it's understandable that it has such a huge influence over basically everything that follows it.

Episode 32: Tomba!

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross give Tomba! a stone age beatdown.

Evil Pigs have taken your grandpa's watch and cast a curse over the entire world. It's your job to... Wait, I can't do this. To treat it seriously would be lying to you. Tomba! is a fondly remembered 2.5D platformer, but WOFF! hated it. Aside from our shared fondness for exclamation marks, there's nothing to recommend Tomba!. Disagree? Listen, and hear our arguments.
