OMGame Boy #50 "A Link to the Cartoon Past"

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2024/04/22

In 1989, The Legend of Zelda was already one of the greatest video games of all time. That same year, the cartoon bearing its name unfortunately wasn't so lucky. Whose idea was it to make Link so annoying? Was Ganon always a boar who said one-liners? Is everyone in the voice cast dead? On today's bonus episode we do a live commentary of an episode of the Nintendo-disapproved cartoon. Join in and watch along by clicking the link below. Or don't - we can't Triforce you to do

Episode #63 - Goldeneye Told You So

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2024/04/08

007! You know what those numbers mean and who they belong to. And if you were a kid in 1997, you definitely knew because it meant begging your parents to buy you a video game based on a two year old James Bond movie. Since we can't pay our parents back (I refuse to), we figured the next best thing was to talk about everyone's favorite Pierce Brosnan simulator - GOLDENEYE for the Nintendo 64! In today's episode we chat about multiplayer cheaters, fake sequels, and much more. So call up three ugly

OMGame Boy #49 "Gaming Class of 1999"

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2024/03/25

Fact - 1999 was THE best year for video games. This is not up for debate. With hard hitters like Final Fantasy VIII, Donkey Kong 64, Resident Evil 3 and even Shenmue, we as a species had peaked in creating playable perfection. But what other games came out that year? Was it more failures than franchises? On today's bonus episode, we chat about the gaming class of 1999 and other nonsense released before Y2K. Frost your tips and get ready to go back in time to when gaming on a 30" TV was a huge effin

OMGame Boy #48 "Weather Warning Waggle"

2024/02/26

WARNING - severe weather has been reported in the area. Please advise if you are Mega Man or any other gaming character, stay indoors. Do not try to speedrun! For the past 30 years, harsh weather and natural disasters have played an integral part in gaming but whether they make sense even being there is another story - just ask Chris Redfield about that volcano he visited. On today's bonus episode we chat about video games that have been hindered by floods, snow, earthquakes and yup even

Episode #61 - Main in the Mirror

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2024/02/12

Doppelgangers suck! There's always some mirror character in a video game that wants to kill you and it really doesn't matter why. Maybe your name is Mario and someone you bullied gained weight and wants to destroy you in golf or tennis. Or maybe your name is Solid Snake and a clone of yours dressed like your dad's friend just to reveal he hates you. I mean, these things happen. On today's episode we talk all about gaming doubles, look-alikes, evil robots and more! So stare into a dirty bathroom

OMGame Boy #47 "Jeers of War"

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2024/01/29

War! What is it good for? Absolutely, nothin! Jk, it's good for mowing down monsters with a chainsaw gun while chugging Mountain Dew and yelling slurs. If that sounds familiar it's because we just described every gamer that played 2006's GEARS OF WAR, the Xbox exclusive that kickstarted a new era in gaming. Who is Marcus Fenix? What is the Locust Horde? Why haven't they thrown on shorts and challenged each other to a game of basketball? On today's bonus episode we talk about the influence the series

Episode #60 - New Wave Noobs

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2024/01/15

There are many moments that defined the 1980's; Ernest starring in his own movie, Alf crashing on earth, Bob Dyan singing "We Are the World" just to name a few. But it was the debut of a tv show that changed everything forever. Cool had a new name and it was MIAMI VICE. Even video games copied the vibe of the police drama, most famously Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. But that is just the tip of the retro-inspired iceberg. On today's episode we look at numerous games that involve fast cars, white

Side Quest Soundtrack Vol. 1

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2023/12/18

Is it really "GAME OVER" for 2023 already? This year went by faster than Sonic the Hedgehog. It seems like only yesterday we were doing episodes dedicated to dating apps, rotten videogame adaptations, and polygon Bruce Willis. So we figured what better way to sum up the last 12 months than by giving you EXACTLY what you wanted: a playlist of every intro song we've created this year. Are they made from scratch? Yup. Are they any good? Probably not. Is Dr. Dre going to wish he produced them? You bet

"Santa who?" - That's what every kid (and your grandmom with dementia) is gonna say Christmas morning after they unwrap some of the best gifts they've ever received. That's because your favorite duo has been tasked yet again to take over the holiday season with our annual HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE! We break down our favorite gift suggestions by price bracket, region availability and even radiation level. We also tell you who to buy for, where to buy from and how many you should buy.

OMGame Boy #46 "Birds of Play"

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2023/11/20

The first Thanksgiving would be a lot different if everyone was a gamer. Pilgrims playing Fortnite, Native Americans playing Minecraft, and Turkeys sitting on neon-colored gaming chairs and talking to their chat members on Twitch. Those fat birds definitely earned some chill time after being stuffed for centuries, don't you think? On today's bonus episode we chat about videogames that involved a turkey (the bird) and also ones that take place in Turkey (the country). And before you ask, yes we

OMGame Boy #45 "Caped Cartridge"

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2023/11/06

There hasn't been one comic book villian that Superman faced that wasn't eventually defeated by his farmboy brand of truth, justice and the American way. The guy has single-handedly beat otherworldly gods, unstoppable doomsday monsters and even a 90's mullet. But those enemies were nothing compared to the Man of Steel's greatest threat to date - a plastic gaming cartridge. On today's bonus episode, we chat about (and play) the infamously bad Nintendo 64 game, "Superman: The New Superman

Episode #58 - Game Overboard

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2023/10/23

DEATH - what a guy. Just ask any horror fan and to them he's part Elvis, part Santa Clause and cool as all hell. Unfortunately there are some videogame characters that might disagree with that sentiment. The truth is no pixel or polygon is safe from him and the "game over" screen. But could their deaths have been avoided or were they part of his design? On today's special Halloween episode we take inspiration from "Final Destination" and chat about accidental deaths in non-horror games. Replay a

OMGame Boy #44 "Mokap Kombat"

2023/10/09

"IT HAS BEGUN!". An immortal movie quote said by an immortal sorcerer right before a fighting competition for...mortals. That movie is of course the 1995 film adaptation "Mortal Kombat". But did you know that there was an official animated prequel released a week before the film that included godlike motion capture CGI fights that sort of techincally won an Academy Award? On today's episode we chat about VHS tapes, Goro family picnics and so many behind the scenes secrets that, even if he tried,

Episode #57 - Wii U've Got Mail

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2023/09/25

First, let us clear some things up. No, we do not mention the Wii U once in this episode. Why would we? And no, we do not talk about that famous romantic comedy or even email for that matter. But we do talk about mail and to be more precise, we talk about YOUR mail. Taking inspiration from AOL, and frankly our own laziness, we present our very first dedicated mailbag episode. Join us as we answer fan questions and also chat about botched government tests, porn star encounters and more. Celebrate

OMGame Boy #43 "Triple A Apocalypse"

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2023/09/11

The apocalypse is coming! Techincally it already came. In 1998 a videogame was released that captured the exact essence of what the end of the world would be like; slow paced action, horny horsemen and a big movie star saying things like "Suck on this!" to people who aren't there. Bruce Willis had also just dropped one of the biggest flicks of his career so of course he followed that up with a videogame that barely had a plot, barely included his voice and honestly, barely was a working product.

Episode #56 - Press Enter The Matrix

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2023/08/28

What is The Matrix? To some, it's a simulation we live in covering up a reality of control and deception. To others, it's a 1999 movie where a guy in sunglasses named Larry gives one of the dudes from "Bill & Ted" some pills. Could very well be Gas-X and a Tylenol. Either way, the iconography is undeniable and ripe for videogame inspiration. What if Link took a pill from Zelda? How would Crash Bandicoot look during bullet time? On today's reloaded episode we talk the sci-fi classic, what videogame

OMGame Boy #42 "Twisted Meddle"

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2023/08/14

If you could wish for anything what would it be? Win the TWISTED METAL competition and the host, Calypso, will agree to grant any wish you desire. The downside is that he'll twist it and probably turn you into a watch or toaster for some reason. You never know what you're going to get with him. Fortunately Playstation fans know exactly what they're getting with this franchise and that is vehicular combat and character endings that make no sense.

Episode #55 - Knowledge is Power-Up

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2023/07/31

Pink Floyd was right - "we dont/need no/edutainment"! That's it, right? Well it should be because any kind of media that tells you learning is fun sucks and that goes double for videogames. When you're young there's no difference between regular Mario and Dr. Mario. They're the same illiterate Italian plumber in my eyes. So what makes a game educational? And when does it stop being fun and just become homework? On today's episode we chat about educational videogames while fervently refusing to learn

OMGame Boy #41 "A.I.'LL BE BACK"

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2023/07/17

Artificial Intelligence - friend or foe? Just kidding, it's obviously foe. Whether it's used by sleazy movie studios, sleazy videogame companies or even sleazy podcasters, there's no escaping it. The fear of self-aware A.I. is nothing new and today we make it more realistic than ever by joining the revolution! But whose side are we on? On today's bonus episode we cozy up with A.I. and ChatGPT by asking it questions about friendship, inviting it to Nintendo parties and even forcing it to write an

Episode #54 - WASD My Age Again?

WTFamicom with Dan and Nick ·

2023/07/03

Age is just a number. BEFORE YOU CALL THE COPS, LET ME FINISH! Age is just a number...when it comes to playable videogame characters. Whether you're a baby-like pink ball with an eating disorder (Kirby) or a geriatric Spartan who wears ashes as a vibe for over a millenia (Kratos), we accept all ages in this space. But why is trying to find out character's actual date of birth so damn confusing? Are they even old enough to play their own games? On today's episode, we took inspiration from Blink-182
