It's the Federal Bureau of Control, they may have her brother held captive, and they are definitely overrun by a malignant interdimensional force...

This week, Jeremy joins Kole to talk about a very good episode of this television show, "The Unicorn in Captivity". Rusty manages to invent teleportation, which draws the attention of unsavory characters. Meanwhile, the Monarch reluctantly joins a heist crew led by Copy Cat.

Gary went and caught Covid, so this week Kole is joined by the AV Club's Will Hughes to talk about Zoop, the shallow puzzle game that magazines in the 90s put a lot of effort into getting people to buy. And since Gary isn't here, we kind of go hog wild on talking about things that would otherwise...

Hey folks! When I was playing around with some admin stuff I discovered that email addresses I'd previously tried to use for authenticating the per-show feeds on Fireside had started working when they hadn't before.
This means that something must have been worked out on the back end with Fi...

It's impossible to talk about some games objectively. Castlevania 2 has a lot of problems but unbeatable atmosphere for the NES, and the best soundtrack in the series (fight me), makes that go down oh so smooth. Let's get to collectin' ribs!

This week we head back down to the other side of the Liurnian continent, venturing up a high road littered with wreckage from the civil war. We stop by a very noteworthy catacomb, check in with Hyetta, visit Jarburg, and take a history lesson from the game's biggest dork: Miriel the Turtle Pope.<...

Your boy's luck ran out and I finally got Covid. Novel Corona Virus? Doesn't seem so novel to me!

In the end, it was a story about family. In the beginning, too. It was really all a story about family. Children of Morta was made as an attempt to marry a roguelike game structure to a fixed, detailed story... and it works. The Bergsons are a tight-knit family who live in the shadow of Mount Mor...

The idea of millionaires who happen to be talented artists using their resources to make video games where they go on little adventures is extremely charming. That's our baseline approach to talking about Def Jam: Fight for NY, which is ABSOLUTELY not a bad game. Just not a game for us. But, grow...

A Level 1 villain has to start somewhere, and that's where the Big Villains program comes in. The Monarch steps up to take Augustus St. Cloud under his wing for his first arching, which is less an act of altruism and more another attempt to get under Rusty's skin. The result is a fun episode that...

It's a classic Gary Butterfield pick: it's an advergame about snack food. But M&M's Kart Racing for the Wii also happens to be the least fun, and least functional, kart racer we've covered for the show. It also leads us to one of the more bizarre and sad wikis we've found for a property.

Do games stand up to editing the same way other works do? How is editing used in games? Could they stand more editing? The obvious Duckfeed answer is "yeah." Hear us explain why! And answer your questions, read your responses to June's games, and generally goof it up.
We've got a topic and Q&A overflow, and the only way to contain all of these questions is to round 'em up. This is the first of our regular WOFF! Dispatch Roundup episodes, which we will be doing once per quarter to make sure we get to all of your questions.
