Another Saturday Wonderpod. We came down with a massive goat infection Thursday night so the show had to be postponed. They say the show must go on, but whoever said it never tangled with a goat. Good news, the show isn’t near as weird as this introduction. The first show after something like E3 is [...]

Are Games Getting Too Casual?
June 5th, 2012 
gunsage This is something that’s been on my mind for a while and, while many may not care, it’s something that’s near and dear to me. Back in the 80s and most of the 90s, you’d play an action game that was about 5 stages in length, but chock full of retro goodness complete with an [...]
7th Saga
May 29th, 2012 gunsage General Overview 1993 was a great year for RPGs. This was one of the tougher ones. If you know anything about RPGs from the late 80s/early 90s era, you know that I’m not saying this is tough in comparison to today’s gaming; I’m saying it’s tough in comparison to THAT era’s gaming. If you like [...]
Final Fantasy 3
May 17th, 2012 gunsage General Overview Join the magical adventures of Loonie, Arg, Reefer, and Dingus as they travel the land in their retarded quest to consistently annoy oldschool RPGers.

Legend of Grimrock
May 10th, 2012 gunsage General Overview An oldschool dungeon crawler with new age graphics, sounds, and animations is primed and ready to kick your ass and make you remember.

Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy
May 3rd, 2012 gunsage General Overview A frustrating adventure platforming game with an even more frustrating inventory system that will constantly have you pulling your hair out, not only because it’s difficult, but also because it requires constant backtracking and remembering where you set down object X for puzzle Y. And yet, it’s still one of the most charming, [...]
Dark Spire
April 12th, 2012 gunsage General Overview When is something too much? When it reaches the level Dark Spire does. If you thought Etrian Odyssey was tough, you should probably look away. Dark Spire does everything it possibly can to present you with a terrible, difficult look at a first person dungeon crawler. And sadly, it does all this while [...]
Etrian Odyssey
March 6th, 2012 gunsage General Overview Etrian Odyssey is a game neither for sissies or those expecting instant gratification. It’s “rape me in the ass” difficulty presents the player with ever-frustrating floors that increase seemingly exponentially in difficulty and prides itself on forcing you to grind as well as deal with constant trial and error. While it may not [...]
RPG of the Year – 2008
July 1st, 2011 gunsage I have to apologize in advance. I don’t own a PS3 or iPod, so there are a few titles here I can’t play that I’m sure you guys are going to dislodge your jaws wondering about. I’m sure Valkyria Chronicles is awesome. There, I said it…but I don’t know personally, so I can’t put it [...]
