It's time to kick this adventure off!

Metal Gear Solid 4 is out on all major platforms and we're off to the races. Chad and James have never played it before, so we're all amped up, geeked out, and freaked out for what will come to pass.

Join us on this special release day kick-off.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is days away from being unshackled from the PlayStation 3. Metal Gear Mondays has unshackled Lilli from her least featured season with our original MGS4 coverage. The excitement is palpable.

What will the new co-hosts think? What are they predicting will happen? Who are the returning characters? Will this season feature special guests? Will Mk. II still be voiced by Nick Freda?

Tune in this season to find out!!

*UPDATE: Apologies for the odd desync that happened with James & Lilli. Fairly sure that it has been fully rectified now, as of 8/26/26.

Join us this week as we finish Ghost Babel and uncover some deep dark secrets.

Metal Gear Mondays is going handheld.

We're revisiting our old Gameboy Color days and giving Ghost Babel (aka Metal Gear Solid in the US) the attention it deserves.

Let's do this thing!

This week (later than intended) we're concluding our coverage of Policenauts for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the game, whether you played along with us or not. If you want your messages read on the show, please reach out to us at [email protected]

Jonathan is out. Ed is out. Alessio is out. Salvatore is out of his goddamn mind. It's a whole thing.

Acts 3, 4, and 5 are blasting into your ear drums starting NOW!

Our journey with the titular Policenauts continues.

This act has it all. Car chases, bomb diffusing, secret informers... uh... our partner's underage daughter? Oh, man... uh, shooting guns at a massquito swarm (not a typo)? Fondling-- no, no, I'm going to stop there.

POLICENAUTS!! YAY!

Hi, guys!

So, for whatever reason, Riverside (our new distribution and recording platform) decided that episodes can no longer be over three hours long. We're working with their support to see what can be done, but for the time being we're releasing the uncut versions of episodes over on the Patreon for $1+ supporters.

We'll keep everyone informed as to if this will be a permanent change or something temporary. Apologies for the delay and for the last-minute alteration to our typical release format.

This episode we're covering Policenauts (1996) Act 1: Beyond. The adventures of groping Jonathan continue!

Unfortunately, we have to reschedule #253: Policenauts (1996) - Part 2 - Act 1 for next week. In lieu of this, enjoy a free episode from our Patreon-exclusive podcast "The Patriot Club".

We shall return with more Policenauts next week.

Big ups to 8BitUzz for the killer Instant Crush cover.

Continuing MGM's tour of everything we wish we would've covered years ago, we're settling our crosshairs on Policenauts. Specifically, we'll be talking about the PlayStation and Sega Saturn fan translations. 

Gather some police friends, suit up in your retro future moon boots, get untethered, and prepare to go into cryo-sleep for 25 years, only for everyone you love to wither away in your absence. We're doin' this!

To top off our coverage of the 1994 Sega CD cult classic, Snatcher, we're sitting down with Jeremy Blaustein, the Supervisor on the project. Jeremy was responsible for overseeing localization efforts, directing the English voice actors, and more.

Thanks to Jeremy for taking time from his continued localization work at Dragonbaby, Inc. to speak with us.
