CB Ep.55 – Toad is a Sentient Garbage Pile

This week our new ex-friend, Amber, decided to show how much she hates wishes we would stop talking to by picking our games for us. Nikki plays a game with so many vines you’ll wish the episode was six seconds in Snow White in Happily Ever After, Matt finds that the only way to win is through sexism in Belle’s Quest, Dylan tries to wrap enemies up in his gooey white secretions in The Adventures of Lolo, and Cody has us all wanting to take a trip to the glue factory Crystal’s Pony Tale.

CB Ep.54 – Malon’s Crippling Horse Racing Addiction

This week we play games that never made it out of Japan! Matt drives his irritating stick awkwardly into a fallopian tube to save his family in Kururin Squash, Dylan participates on robot battles that seem to rely a little too much on dice rolls in Custom Robo, Cody reveals how much better your mom is than him at Tetris in Tetris Battle Gaiden, and Nikki…uhh…well…Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland! Whatever!

CB Ep.53 – When Given Murderous Lemons, Make Murderade

This week we take on movie based games! Nikki resists the urge to stay on the pipe all night long in Home Alone, Dylan somersaults straight to Hell in Super Empire Strikes Back, Cody gets lost in a maze house which I guess qualifies as fulfilling my third wish from that monkey’s paw in the Wizard of Oz, and Matt shows off the impressive crouch functionality that took twenty years and four trillion dollars to develop in The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.

CB Ep.49 – Deliver Us From Surfer

This week we dive into comic book games for a second time! Cody and Matt punch cars and forklifts because that counts as saving the world I think in Marvel Heroes, Nikki proves just how fragile a godlike cosmic being can be in Silver Surfer, and Cody complains about the realistic physics behind attaching super-strong spider webbing to skyscrapers and propelling yourself with said webbing in Ultimate Spider-Man.

CB Ep.48 – Some Motha Fuckas Always Tryin’ To Snowboard Up Hill

This week, we played Advergames! Dylan avoids yellow snow and decent platforming experiences in Gex 3, Cody makes us all remember 7UP in Spot Goes To Hollywood, Nikki battles the Thirsties in outer space and on the baseball field in Kool-Aid Man, and Matt wonders just who the sad fella out there who was who just had to play a game with a talking burger and the host of late 90s E! travel show Wild On!? with Pocket Bike Racer and Big Bumpin!

CB Ep.47 – Your Game is Bullshit and You Are a Shitlord

This week, we have stared too long into the abyss and now it stares back into us, for we have played what some may consider: The Worst Games Ever Made. Matt calls on the power of the dolphin in Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis, Nikki eats candy-shelled vomit and gets buried alive like the game she was playing in ET, Cody lives through a riot in American McGee Bad Day LA, and Dylan rides to Hell in Ride To Hell: Retribution.

CB Ep.46 – I Need Something to Blow

This week Cody is Erik Shatterhand, fighting for a future where Dr. Solidhand stops gravity or something in Shatterhand, Matt watches helplessly as his home planet explodes and everyone he ever loved dies in Star Fox 2, Nikki finds a Disney Genie that is a lot more like one of them Goosebumps episodes with the monkey paw in Aladdin, and Dylan does a much sexier dance than he usually does after committing genocides in Orcs Must Die 2 for the PC.

CB Ep.45 – I Can Get My PB Sub-10

This week we all play games together for the entire episode! In X-Men: The Arcade Game, Colossus yells with Communist rage while Wolverine inexplicably shoots laser claws! Then we have a Super Mario Bros. race you’ll have to see to believe! Then we use grapple arms and throw aircraft into each other in Just Cause 2. Finally, Luigi is a dirty rotten cheater in the adorable Mario Party 3!

CB Ep.44 – Huge Jacked Man F-ed To Death

his week we discuss a lot of E3 stuff as well as dive into the horrible horrible past through the games of LJN. Nikki is outatime in Back to the Future, Dylan is guessing this picture is a noose in Pictionary, Matt wants to slit his wrists with adamantium claws in Wolverine: Adamantium Rage, and Cody wants to boil in a vat of acid and DOES in Spider-Man: Animated Series.

CB Ep.43 – World War Budokai Tenkaichi 98

This week we played games that had, at one point or another, been given Game of the Year awards! Matt walks into a weird set of balls-related coincidences in Metroid Prime, Nikki is the Queen of Grappling (but we already knew that) in Bionic Commando, and Cody inhales poison gas and this time its not just our fantasy in X-Com: Enemy Unknown.
