SAG Episode 549: Get Your Dress Jorts On

The SAG Cartoon Express makes a stop in Hyrule

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris board the SAG Cartoon express for a trip to Hyrule! Yes, they watched a classic episode of The Legend of Zelda cartoon, and it was surprisingly good! How good? Let’s find out!
At the top of the show, Dan is closing in on his penultimate treatment, and Kris continues to make progress at the gym. Sadly, it left very little time for game playing, as Dan’s hands weren’t working so good, and Kris was buried deep in the weeds for his next Mario history video project. But there’s a new Mario World record! That's pretty cool!
Finally, in Week Old News, Activision spent an absurd amount of money on Call of Duty, Mighty No. 9 for 3DS is finally cancelled, Sony’s making more video game movies, and more. Enjoy!

SAG Episode 548: That is Not Baja Fresh

The alphabet Soup-er Series takes on Silent Debuggers

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris catch up with the Alphabet Soup-er Series! It was Kris’s pick for the letter S, and he went with Silent Debuggers for TurboGrafx-16. It’s certainly an interesting game that makes a heck of a first impression, but was there enough under the hood to gain it a good rating? Let’s find out!
At the top of the show, Dan lost his eyelashes, which results in far more gross eye goop than one might expect. He also misses eating sushi a whole lot, but at least he got to put a whole heck of a lot of time into Hades! Meanwhile, Kris took a skeleton on a date in Undertale, played an incredibly janky version of Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, bought a new vacuum, and ate an absurdly tall breakfast sandwich. Finally, in Week Old News, it was again an incredibly quiet week, as is wont to happen in January. But the folks who made Anton Blast are happy, the folks who made Apple Vision Pro are sad, and the Toxic Avengers finally get an update. Enjoy!

At the top of the show, there once again wasn't nearly as much game playing as either of our hosts would have liked, but there were still stories of electronic mops, Christmas Cookies, Microwave hoods, and a whole lot more! Finally, in Week Old News, there wasn’t a whole lot to report. But we still managed to track down a couple of stories worth talking about. Which ones? You’ll have to listen to find out!

The next stop on the SAG Cartoon Express is Double Dragon!

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, Dan, Dean, and Kris take a ride on the SAG Cartoon Express for some Double Dragon Action! The topic was the season 2 episode Virtual Reality Bytes, where someone has stolen all the world’s bank money through the use of the information superhighway! Oh no! Clearly the only solution is martial arts action. Will the Dragons succeed? Will our podcasters survive? Let’s find out!
At the top of the show, Kris enjoys the new Tetris games on NSO, and scores a pretty cool Yahtzee in Clubhouse Games, Dan tries the new Marvel Rivals game, Dean becomes obsessed with Balatro and Victory Heat Rally, and more!

SAG Episode 544: Good Games are Good Games

Let’s Get the Alphabet Soup-er Series in order.

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris take the Alphabet Soup-er Series to the next level by adding a rating system lifted directly out of the pages of GamePro magazine, and maybe even rank them all? Who knows! But it’ll be fun!
At the top of the show, Kris spends more time with Plucky Squire, dives into the history of Tetris, sneaks around with a raccoon, and probably nothing else because he got sick. Meanwhile, Dan continued to work on his virtual car, blew stuff up in Shotgun King, and more! Finally, in Week Old News, Animal Crossing gets chocolatey, Ubisoft continues to be a terrible company, Sega unsurprisingly doesn't like it when people try to profit off of their name, and more!

SAG Episode 543: Make Mace Windu Voldo

Dan’s pick for the Alphabet Soup-er Series is a weird one

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the Alphabet Soup-er Series! It was Dan’s pick, and he went with Ranger X for Sega Genesis for the letter R. Did this game’s bananas control scheme ruin an otherwise good time? Let’s find out!
At the top of the show, Kris had Dean over for Thanksgiving, and his gravy was fantastic. (Don’t read too much into that). Dan continued to spend a LOT of time with a virtual car, while Kris had a Mario PArty with his kids, and was left colder than leftover turkey with The Plucky Squire.
Finally, in Week Old News, it was a light week with the eShop closing down in China, Polymega getting a pretty significant update, and more!

One of the biggest 10 20 30 40s we’ve had yet

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you yet another absolutely MASSIVE 10 20 30 40 for November 2024. We’re talking Ratchet & Clank, Jak, Halo 2, Metroid Prime 2, Donkey Kong Country, and more! Which systems had the best months? Did the mighty PS2 get beat even with Metal gear Solid 3 on its team? Let’s find out!
At the top of the show, Kris joined a gym, continued to hate-play Hatch Tales, discovered the unbelievable depths of Ode to Castlevania, and finally got his physical copy of Marvel vs. Capcom Collection. Dan continued to work on an old car, learned new things about Pokemon, and accidentally got a Platinum Trophy in MLB: The Show.
Finally, in Week Old News, Super Mario 64 speedrunning is dead, Sonic 3 comes to Sega Genesis (no, not that Sonic 3), PlayStation Portal becomes a whole lot more useful, and more!

SAG Episode 541: Ghosts Can’t Fall Down

The SAG Cartoon Express makes a stop in Pac-Land

Show Notes

On this week’s podcast, Dan, Kris, and Dean board the Cartoon Express for a trip to Pac-Land! They watched the classic Pac-Man cartoon episode Sir Pac-a-Lot. How did it go? And how did they rank all the cartoons they’ve watched so far this year? Why are can openers so funny? What’s up with all the hats? Let’s find out!
At the top of the show, Dean’s been playing something called Deep Rock Galactic Survivor, which sounds like way too many words to be real. Meanwhile, Dan dives deeper into the world of the Pokemon Trading Card game, and spends some quality time with Pacific Drive, which is NOT the same thing as Pacific Rim. Kris, on the other hand, is obsessed with Ode to Castlevania, wildly unimpressed by Hatch Tales, and notices some fun new updates to his Atari VCS. Finally, in Week Old News, Monster Hunter becomes a shampoo, Phil Spencer spouts some nonsense about the Xbox’s new ad campaign, Blaster Master makes its way to the Super NES, and more!
