  Episode #85 - Rumble Pak to the Future: Time Travel in Gaming 07.09.2026 1ч 5мин

  OUTATIME! I know it as what my therapist says when my credit card gets declined mid-session. But you may know it more commonly as the license plate belonging to Doc Brown and his time traveling DeLorean! That iconic car sure has been through a lot of time periods. And weirdly, so have tons of video games! So why should Marty McFly have all the fun? Taking inspiration from "Back to the Future", we go forward, backward and beyond into the world of time travel in gaming. What games use it correctly? What games shouldn't have it? What games have it happen technically only in the manual and no where else? Grab you hover boards folks, because where we're taking you, we don't need roads. But you will need controllers! But also please don't kiss your own mom.

  OMGame Boy #71 - "To Catch a Pre-Order Predator" 24.08.2026 25мин

  What do guys caught on "To Catch a Predator", the creature in PREDATOR and gaming companies all have in common? If you guessed they go days without showers that's probably true. But the real answer is they are usually always on an abhorrent hunt to trick you. How many times have you bought a video game because it promised something beyond what it can and should deliver. Like the chats Chris Hansen shows up with, we got receipts to prove that ever since the 90s, developers have over promised a lot in their advertising just to get our attention. So take a seat over there and tell us why you're here. Because on today's episode we are catching pre-order predators!

  Episode #84 - Games N' Roses: History of GN'R in Gaming 10.08.2026 57мин

  GUNS N' ROSES! In the 80s, they were known as the most dangerous band in the world and the epitome of sex, drugs and rock n' roll. So what's the antithesis of all that? Gaming of course! It repels sex, is more expensive than drugs and the only roll involved is the Totino's Pizza Rolls I'm microwaving. But did you know these two have a lot in common? Did you also know we already did this episode before?? To celebrate our 7 year anniversary we decided to redo our very first episode. Join us as we chat Mega Man, Axl Rose, Guitar Hero, Slash, Angry Birds, Buckethead, GTA San Andreas and more - welcome to the gaming jungle, baby!

  OMGame Boy #70 - "Homer's Abe's Oddysee" 27.07.2026 20мин

  We're creating a venn diagram with three circles. One for the oldest surviving work of literature, one for a PlayStation game where a guy has his mouth sewed shut and one for a movie where Jon Berenthal doesn't say "Let me tell you something" but he says it in the trailer. Have you figured out what the common denominator is? On today's episode we chat about the PS1 classic "Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee" and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. We also impersonate some of Abe's gamespeak, decide if farts are woke now and advocate for podcast episodes to be included in movie box office charts.

  Episode #83 - JRPGym: Fitness in Video Games 13.07.2026 1ч 3мин

  STAY HUNGRY! If you're into fitness you know that's the 1976 Arnold Schwarzenegger film where he plays (of course) a bodybuilder. If you're into video games, that is just your lifestyle from Cheetos, Hot Pockets and Mountain Dew Code Red. But what happens when the two worlds collide? Do they make perfect swolemates? Today we do numerous reps in the musclebound world of exercise and gyms in gaming to find out. From the Intellivison all the way to the Xbox Kinect; we work muscles we barely knew we had while chatting about Just Dance, Pokémon, Final Fantasy, and more! Fun Fact - did you know "exergaming" is a real word recognized by the Dictionary? Actually makes me sick.

  OMGame Boy #69 "Press Start to Paws" 29.06.2026 17мин

  This year the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary! What better way to commemorate this occasion than to discuss the one time a cat took over the Oval Office. And no I'm not talking about James A. Garfield. Btw did you know he was the last President born in a log cabin? That's both funny and truly pathetic. Anyway, we are talking about the most famous political cat ever and his one video game. Yup, Bill Clinton's cat "Socks" starred in his very own Super Nintendo video game that got cancelled. Or did it? Join us as we take a trip to Washington, D.C. to find out why cats make better presidents but worse gaming mascots.

  Episode #82 - MYST Congeniality 15.06.2026 1ч 11мин

  What famous snoozefest involves misdemeanors and Matt Damon? Give up? It's the 1993 PC classic "MYST". We know it's your mom's favorite video game but was it any good? The short answer? No. The long answer? We don't know. We couldn't even finish the game without wanting to jump in traffic. And that was just the beginning! There are tons of sequels, merchandise and even parodies. And don't even get us started on the lore that invoves a guy stuffing his sons in books and forgetting where he left his wife. Did we mention John Goodman has a connection to the franchise, too? You're gonna want to hear AND see that for yourself. So grab a red or blue book and jump into the surrealistic adventure that will become your world until you get really pissed and use a strategy gui

  OMGame Boy #68 "Street Fruiter" 01.06.2026 20мин

  Quick - name a fruit, any fruit! That was a test. If you were a character in a video game that depended on fruits and couldn't name one, you'd be dead by now. Someone would have to tell Pac-Man's wife and kids why he didn't come home last night. So while we wait for the official autopsy report, let's discuss why fruits show up in video games. For health? As an enemy? To teach us lessons about life? Why not all of the above! On today's episode we take to the streets to discuss all kinds of fruit in gaming and why they are important in Fallout, Legend of Zelda, Elden Ring, Donkey Kong Country and many more. Perfect timing, looks like the autopsy report came back. Well, look at that - Pac-Man died of rabies.

  Episode #81 - Generation XP 18.05.2026 57мин

  At what age are you too old to know new slang but too young to know old slang? Are we uncs regardless? Help us out because we really need to know before we step into the clunky world of Gen Alpha gaming slang! How do we aura farm in Elden Ring? Can our Call of Duty drip ooze rizz? Does playing Warcraft give out sigma vibes? Wtf does this all mean? How does this effect my grandmoms? On today's episode we embarrass ourselves trying to figure out how to use what and when in a world that already thinks we're cooked. Welcome to Generation XP!

  OMGame Boy #67 "8-bit Bowie: 40 Years of Labyrinth" 04.05.2026 21мин

  A twisted maze full of deception populated with outrageously gross creatures awaits! Now enough about our podcast, let's talk about the 1986 David Bowie/Jim Henson classic "Labyrinth", just in time for its 40th anniversary. From box office bomb to cult classic, in-between it was also a video game. Yup, there was only one based off the film and we get lost talking about it. Why is there so much text? Is Henson Island worse than Epstein Island? We try to find some answers as well as chat about other maze-like games inspired by Metroid and Castlevania.

  Episode #80 - Under the CPU 20.04.2026 1ч 7мин

  A tagline for Disney's The Little Mermaid is "Somewhere under the sea and beyond your imagination is an adventure in fantasy". Unfortunately this does not apply to under the gaming sea. The blue deep there is a dark abyss full of bad controls, intense drowning music and electricity for some reason. And that's not even including that wet stain I have on my pants from all the shark jump scares - that's water I swear. So what makes game developers want to create water levels? On today's episode we go under the sea (figuratively and at some point literally AS Sebastian the crab) to discuss levels in Mario, TMNT, Bioshock, Abzu, Metal Gear Solid and many more!

  OMGame Boy #66 "PvP Quiz Show" 06.04.2026 22мин

  When you're friends with someone for a really long time you know almost everything about them. Likes, dislikes, fart smells, infidelity stats, etc. But would you know what video game character they were? That question could make or break a friendship so of course we had to find out. Join us as we take quizzes for the other person to see which gaming character they are. Is one of us more Mario or Wario? Cloud or Sephiroth? Lara Croft's butler or giant freezer? Even though there is no winner, there's definitely a loser (both of us).

  Episode #79 - Fear and Loading in Las Vegas 23.03.2026 51мин

  When was the last time you took a drug-fueled surreal road trip to Las Vegas with your attorney to chase the American Dream? If the answer is never then welcome to bat country because we are about to take you on a ride. Oh wait, did you think we meant ACTUAL Las Vegas? Sorry but we only like to place bets in casinos of the pixel and polygon variety. In today's episode we are going full method Johnny Depp and talking poker, slots and roulette in games from Sonic, Fallout and Cuphead just to name a few.

  OMGame Boy #65 "In Loving Memory Card" 09.03.2026 18мин

  We gather here today with friends and family to pay our respects to the video games that were cancelled before release and never saw the light of day. What kind of god would do this? Didn't he want gamers to experience the polygon violence of the cancelled PS1 game "Thrill Kill"? Or learn the mystery behind why Clint Eastwood wanted to return for a cancelled Dirty Harry game for the Xbox 360? On today's episode we eulogize those video games we lost either from bad development, bad marketing or just being plain bad.

  Episode #78 - MMO, Behave! 23.02.2026 57мин

  What do Austin Powers (International Man of Mystery) and MMOs (Massive Multiplayer Online games) have in common? People entering dangerous new worlds? Groovy! Lazers and high-tech gadgets? Right on! Main characters that are nonstop horny? Shagadelic, baby! But what about MMOs that aren't as popular? For every Austin Powers there is a Love Guru, and for every World of Warcraft there is a Planet Hot Wheels. On today's episode, we chat about the grooviest online games out today and also unfreeze some forgotten and inactive ones. This ain't no mini-me episode, so change your middle name to danger and get randy with us!

  OMGame Boy #64 "Chiptune Challengers" 09.02.2026 18мин

  Remember that Zendaya tennis movie CHALLENGERS? Ever watch it and think "I wish instead of tennis, they hit video game music back and forth and also Zendaya doesn't show up"? Good, because that's exactly what we did! On today's bonus episode, we volley music from old Nintendo games at each other. You can even play along at home but please remain silent. Are we taking a big swing (pun intended) with this idea? Maybe. But once you hear them, you'll agree these chiptunes deserve the Wimbledon treatment!

  Episode #77 - Rage Quit Against the Machine 26.01.2026 1ч 8мин

  Rage Against the Machine is famously known for having a revolutionary, anti-authoritarian and incendiary sound. Want to know who else fits that exact description? The PlayStation 2! Who doesn't remember the revolutionary sound of the startup screen. Or the incendiary nature of it possibly overheating. And as for anti-authoritarian - have you seen its library? No government would ever give half of those games rights. Fortunately for you we love a good protest. On today's episode, we look up the lowest rated PS2 games on Metacritic and make sure their voices are heard!

  PAST PIXELS: The 2025 Clip Show 22.12.2025 13мин

  What a year it's been! We took some time off, worked way less, and still complained. So not much changed from last year. But there were way more video game shenanigans than ever! We created Metal Gear Solid beer, reacted to Resident Evil adult content, and even did video game stand-up comedy in Rodney Dangerfield voices. That is just some of the dumb stuff you get on this podcast so we put together a clip show for the rest. Enjoy this bonus episode of some of our favorite moments from this last year, some even involving video games - a shock I know! See y'all in 2026.

  Episode #76 - Holiday Gift Guide 2025 08.12.2025 1ч 18мин

  Did you know that Jesus Christ was actually born on Cyber Monday!? They don't teach you that in the Bible but it's true. His parents were just as excited about deals as anyone else this time of year and I don't blame them. You think they cared about frankincense and myrrh? They were trying to snag a PS5! We all know the holidays can be stressful when you wait until the last minute to buy gifts. Luckily we are here to save Jesus, Christmas, and you with our annual HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE! We give you recommendations for video games, electronics, stocking stuffers, and more. We'll give you a gamer's gambit of ideas that's sure to shake the celebration and take you to a whole new level. Tell those wise men to take a hike because after we're done, the nativity is gonna look like the coolest mancave game room ever!

  OMGame Boy #63 "New Name Plus" 24.11.2025 15мин

  In season 5 of Breaking Bad, TV history was made when Walter White uttered the phrase "Say my name". I had to look all that up btw because I've never seen the show. But I like the idea of having a new name and being way cooler than I am now. But what if I were cooler and had the same name? Or had the same name and was the biggest f*cking loser on the planet? Well, there's no better way to find out than by using video games! On today's bonus episode, we find similarly named characters to us in gaming and see if their lives are better or worse to live as them. Heisenberg might have had people fearing his name, but he never had the advantage of attempting a new name plus!
