PSP #390: Catching Up with Anime While Destroying Homes with Fireballs

On today's surprisingly disturbing show, Marc starts off talking about their recent adventure with underwear, going into far too much detail, more than anyone could ever want to know, and so they apologize in advance and hope you can make it through the awkwardness so y'all can hear the actual meat—poor choice of word—of today's show, which is anime and video games, including Made in Abyss, Love and Lies (Koi to Uso), Fictorum, and Sine Mora EX. Cheers and enjoy the anime-zing(ly awkward) show.

PSP #389: Your Hamster Was a Mother and Your Elderberries Smelt of Father

On today's trash can of a show, Marc, who is a real piece of poo, talks about a bunch of games, some anime, and probably some other crap even though no one cares about Marc's opinion given that he smells like lemons and looks like a pineapple. Anyway, if you want to hear Marc's awful voice talking about such stuff, like a fighting game where you throw insults instead of punches, give this episode a listen; though, just remember that you'll be listening to a real poopie, sour pineapple of a show. Cheers and enjoy the anime-zing(ly insult-tastic) show.

PSP #388: Destroying My Childhood, One Movie at a Time

On today's short show, Marc talks about how there almost wasn't a show because of technical difficulties and then moves onto talking about Fortnite and some of the technical difficulties that's been having too. After that, Marc talks briefly about the anime they've dropped and ends with how they've been ruining their childhood by returning to movies they loved as a kid and don't love now as an adult, nope, not at all. Anyway, cheers and enjoy the anime-zing(ly child-free) show.

PSP #387: Cleaning Cereal Every Other Fortnite

On today's show, Marc starts off talking about First Love Monster (Hatsukoi Monster), an anime about a teenage girl who falls in love with a fifth grader who looks and sounds like an adult; it's creepier and way worse than what you're thinking at this very moment and a perfect hate-watch anime. After that, Marc goes in-depth with some games, talking an awful lot about Fortnite and why they're not its biggest fan, following that up with some indie games, one where you play as a box that jumps and rolls and wears a mustache (if you fancy), and the other about a guy who vacuums up blood and hides in boxes that don't jump or roll or wear mustaches (sadly). Anyway, cheers and enjoy the anime-zing(ly fortified) show.

The Golf Club 2 Review (Xbox One)

My father found his way on the green in regulation, his confidence high despite being annoyed by his inability to hit the long ball even in a video game, so sure he’d be able to one-putt the green and land himself a birdie since his ball landed a mere 8 feet from the hole. He pulled back on his putter and swung forward. His putt went long, very long. He looked at me, confused, and then returned to the game, pulled back again and swung. This time he was short, very short. He looked at me again, his eyes defeated, silently asking me, “Why my dear son, why is this game treating me like golf does in the real world?” I had no reply and could only watch as it took my father five strokes before his ball finally landed in the cup. Upon seeing his triple bogey appear in his scorecard, my father promptly handed me the controller in a way that said without words, “I don’t ever want to play this game again.”

That was my father’s first and last experience with The Golf Club 2.

Now, I don’t think The Golf Club 2 is bad and it is unquestionably a significant improvement over the previous game, at least on Xbox One (where I played both); however, the biggest problem with the original game still exists with The Golf Club 2: it is, in no way, accessible for casual players. There is no easy difficultly and no assists of any kind for those who just want to relax with a round of digital golf every now and again. This, of course, won’t be an issue for the most extreme golf fans who love a challenge and want nothing more than to devote many hours to learning the nuances of how far back one needs to pull their putter in order to hit the ball exactly 57 feet, but for anyone else, anyone who enjoys golf games for the relaxing, beautiful simplicity they can be, The Golf Club 2 is not the game for them.

In today's show, Marc takes a break from all the summer anime to talk about some movies, many of which are old, including North by Northwest and Gone with the Wind. After that, Marc talks about Horizon: Zero Dawn and why, despite some usual open-world faults, it's one of their favorite games of the generation and quite possibly their favorite PlayStation 4 game. Anyway, cheers and enjoy the anime-zing(ly anime-free) show.

PSP #382: Where Marc Breaks Your Anime Heart

In today's show, Marc talks about some spring anime for the last time, reviewing both Tsukigakirei and SukaSuka (aka, WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?), and then follows that up with reviews of two fairly new (and fairly different) indie games one might call Aerea and Black & White Bushido (because that's their names). Anyway, cheers and enjoy the anime-zing(ly heartbreaking) show.
