Joe tries his hand at a game the entire world discovered ages ago for some monster truck demolition soccer. Opening topic includes how we structure language to erase abuse and shield abusers. We had a power outage in the middle of the stream so it’s split into two parts.
Joe continues his nostalgia tour through his own childhood with the first revision of this iconic city-builder that launched an entire genre of games. Intro rant topic: Nazis borrowing the tools of the oppressed.
Joe takes a crack at finishing up Wing Commander: Privateer before the end of his third stream of the game. Also, PAUL MANAFORT HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH SEVERAL CRIMES!
Having previously obtained the best gear in record time, Joe starts tackling the story missions of Wing Commander: Privateer. Topics include #MeToo, and how easy it is to radicalize a young man.
Also, there’s a horrific spider attack in the middle of the stream. So, y’know, I guess you can count this as our Halloween episode this year.
Del (twitter.com/anrlizzy) is actually pretty terrible at Mega Man! (He wrote this copy. I’m not being mean.)
Joe plays Han Solo in a Star Wars world with the serial numbers filed off in a game he has played once a year since about 1995. We’re flyin’ around and space tradin’. We’re shooting down pirates. We’re upgrading. We’re delivering cargo. We’re upgrading. We’re talking to our viewers. We’re upgrading. Enjoy! Or don’t.
Joe’s trying his hand once again at this show’s very scaled down version of a speedrun, this time taking on The Blue Bomber’s second outing in Megaman 2: The earliest example of videogame music transcending the medium (or at leas that’s how what we call it to ourselves.) Enjoy! Or don’t!
A rant about guns, mass-shootings, politicians dodging responsibility, health care, how these things are related, and then an hour of a still-exhausted Joe repeatedly hugging a blob and getting frustrated at puzzles.
An exhausted Joe gives gives you his last bits of energy in this adorable puzzle platformer.
Joe expects a beat ’em up and is met with stealth and is appropriately confused and disappointed for two-and-a-half hours. Some good. Some bad. Some enjoyment. Some rage. Then a guest arrives to save the last bit of the stream.
