So Many Bits

More Grafx. More shoddy platformers. Not enough bits.

Falling further down the rabbit hole that is Earthbound, the boys talk about blue cults, zombies, and wilderness survival.

E3 2015 has come and gone, and Bill and Cliff weigh in with the games they're looking forward to for the rest of this year and beyond. 2 voices aren't enough though, so Bill invited fellow comedians Dan Schiffmacher (Donner Party, WTMI News) and Pete Byrne (Small Town Doctor, Polar Pig) to help!

Bill and Cliff share the unique privilege of both having owned a Turbo-Grafx 16 growing up. This week, they talk about the games they've played that you probably have never heard of!

Earthbound is both an irreverent take on traditional RPGs and American culture. A cult classic for the Super Nintendo, the game is so sprawling we needed multiple episodes for discussion. For now, here’s part 1.

The original Let's Play series, Game Center CX has been on the air over 10 years in Japan with a game having somehow made it over to the US. We take a look at both the game and it's loving attention to detail. 

Some games are so bad they become surreal. Jazzpunk is just... surreal. 

Locally developed Octodad: Dadliest Catch gets some love this week. Perhaps the first game we've played intended to have terrible controls, Octodad plays like a twisted 50's sitcom.

More of an interactive story than a game, The Stanley Parable is a rare glimpse at post-modernism from the medium.

Darkly humorous, the Portal franchise takes bleak and makes it BLEAK. The two games also happen to be some of the greatest ever made.

Good games don't always mean good humor. The Borderlands franchise has good reviews and is well-loved, but is it actually funny?

Platforming games have humor too! Bill and Cliff take a dig at Shovel Knight

You didn't ask, and we delivered! In the first episode, Bill and Cliff discuss their gaming cred, the history of South Park video games, and the importance of commitment.
