That was a lie. As it turns out, he was not having a blast.Also, in before even more drama with Pearl Abyss surfaces around things like undisclosed AI inclusion, the rancid control scheme (RIP M&K players), and the ongoing conga line...

69: 1. And so Pokémon Pokopia turned to its fellow disciple and said, "Lo Donkey Kong, though thou hast fought hard and strong to justify the purchase of a same feeling console, now is the time for thine rest."2. And Pokopia ...

RE9 is really good and I don't feel the need to elaborate.Also you might be wondering why we refer to things that have already come out in this episode as if we are looking forward to them, and that's because our editor, who is also me, ...

Sorry, I was busy praying at the altar I made in the back of my non-walk-in closet to Leon S. Kennedy and almost forgot to post this episode.Anyway, besides talking about the ever important subject of "What if The Sopranos, but Muppets?"...

We're entering a "when it rains, it pours" kind of February with releases, but the starting sprinkle is an interesting, if somehow improbably slimmed down yet still bloated, take on an old DQ classic - Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. SE is very in...

Hey, at least we're at that point in the year where we can start looking forward to games actually releasing! February seems to be a pretty packed month, what with a "re-imagined" Dragon Quest VII, Yakuza 3 getting the Kiwami treatment, Nioh go...

We ask the titular hard hitting question as we enter 2026 with our Switch 2 in hand, because between egregious DLC (Pokemon Legends Z-A and Donkey Kong Bananza), overpriced upgrade packages for half a decade old titles, and the totally "necessa...

As it is ordained in the old texts, we have come together in the new year to compare our top ten games of 2025. We have crafted these lists independently, in total seclusion, to ensure that we are provided the purest and freshest lists for your...

We descend into that languid period of the year where the earth lies fallow and we begin to digest and churn what was Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards. The wire acrobatics, the career ending affair with a porcine muppet, and a jilted lover in t...

Nah, it's actually pretty good, especially if you prefer the Prime series over the "MetroidVania" 2D entries.We cover a handful of late 2026 titles before dusting off the old crystal ball and telling who will win (or at least should win)...

Man, that was a dry and dusty-musty Black Friday/Cyber Monday, with nary a deal to be found. Sort of the slow part of the year in general really. Don't worry though, we aren't talking about Geoff Keighley's the Game Awards...yet.Neverthe...

After an abysmal time with Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, Buzz was saved from the worst ending thanks to the goddess of game release schedules saving the best for last: Dragon Quest  I & II HD-2D Remake!Porter takes a t...

I guess we're on our disappointment tour, because we didn't exactly enjoy the majority of titles we're talking about this week... (Hold me now / I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking / Maybe six feet ain't so far down)That...

Porter is very excited to tell you about his visit with the Ghost of Japan Christmas Past, that being Ghost of Yotei from Sucker Punch Productions. Even noted hater of fun, Buzz, might pick it up based on his glowing recommendation.Speak...

Oh, "Spooky Season" is starting off right, whether you're a basic or a full blown goth, you surely can find something to love.Games we maybe give a little too much praise to this episode include:Silent Hill f (0:04:51)

Did you HAGS? Because we most definitely did not HAGS.But at the very least we are entering the best part of the year: October. Call me the "Gabaghoul" because...you know it's spooky out... and we have a lot of business to take care of g...

We sent Porter to report on Gen Con, the largest tabletop game convention in North America (He went of his own accord). At which, he was able to get the exclusive scoop on gaming celebs, including Matt Mercer and Margaret Weiss (He saw them as ...

Hey, what can we say except it's really really good?No, seriously, this is a pretty positive episode overall, a rarity in the Dunce household... just feels nice to play a decent game that's worth your time and money?I was going to...

We're thinking of a number from 1 to 100 this episode, and we expect you to use your telepathy to intuit the exact numeral. Of course, since you rolled up a test character using the latest Unearthed Arcana from DnDBeyond.com that was all about ...

Listen if Nicki Minaj is the Queen of Rap than Hideo Kojima is the king of cra.... no, even though it's a childish rhyme and fits the low-brow vibes of this show, it's not fair or representative of the efforts captured in Death Stranding 2: On ...

Okay, admittedly I was a little behind schedule this week, partly due to needing to install an updated PSU in the PC I use to edit these episodes, but at least I didn't have to date the PSU. Like in that popular new game Date Everything from Sa...

As the dust finally settles on the vacuous retail Hellscape, some emerge clutching furtively to their Nintendo Switch 2 consoles. They wonder, as they careen around the open world of Mario Kart World Tour, was it worth it? Was any of it worth i...

If you're lucky enough to have gotten a Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order, you might share in the fan-base's anxiety as big box stores in the US and abroad continue to send cancellation notices for pre-orders (and accidental cancellation notices) jus...

That's right, we played a bunch of spooky junk this week, but not before we stop and give Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 its flowers. That game was good all the way through, and is a real contender for game of the year at the almost halfway point ...

You guessed it, what with your highly perceptive ability to read and be aware of current releases, that we are talking about the quite excellent Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from Sandfall Interactive.But not before we come down from the a...
