I Made a Terrible, Terrible Mistake: A Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot (Kind Of) Review | Attack the Backlog

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, an open-world action-adventure game set in the world of Dragon Ball that retells the story of Dragon Ball Z in its entirety. If you want to experience Dragon Ball Z a second (or third/etc) time and don’t want to slog through the original series (or even the truncated Kai version), Kakarot is perfect for that. That said, if you did what I did in preparation, you may find yourself disappointed and wishing you had your own set of dragon balls to wish your stupidity away.

If a Dream Falls in the Morning Woods... | The Pixelated Sausage Show

On this week's episode, Marc talks about The Witcher Netflix series after rewatching the first season and a bit of the second, a game about cats with nutcracker mouths, another where you kick the shit out of walls to climb them, one that plays itself...literally, another that feels like a mobile game but isn't a mobile game, and one that'll have you repeatedly asking, "What even is this shit?" Anyway, that's it and that's all. As always, thank you for watching or listening and I hope you enjoy the show.

Words Are Hard | The Pixelated Sausage Show

This episode is a mess, but hopefully y'all are able to find some enjoyment from it and its overall poopiness. With that little disclaimer out of the way, I start things off talking about a bunch of TV shows I didn't click with before getting to the meat and potatoes-aka, the video games--including one of the worst games I've ever played. Anyway, that's it and that's all folks, so thank you for watching or listening and I hope you enjoy the show.

You Better Enjoy That Frame 'Cause There's Not Much Behind It | The Pixelated Sausage Show

As I continue going through the growing pains of getting back into podcasting all proper like, I found even greater pains in the watching of season three of Star Trek: The Original Series, which somehow managed to be even worse than I was led to believe. I also talked about a handful of games as well, but none were particularly great, with the very best of the bunch being pretty to look at and little else. Anyway, that's it and that's all folks, so thank you for watching or listening and I hope you enjoy the show.

That Time When I Still Loved Star Trek: The Original Series | The Pixelated Sausage Show

This episode was meant to be a short one as I talk about doing two shorter episodes a week instead of one long episode; however, I still managed to ramble on for a little over 45 minutes. I talked about Star Trek: The Original Series and a handful of not-too-shabby games, including a pair of visual novels. Anyway, that's it and that's all folks, so thank you for watching or listening and I hope you enjoy the show.

While Not Quite a Zero, It’s Far From a Hero: A Resident Evil 0 Review | Attack the Backlog

Hey there everyone! This episode of Attack the Backlog is all about Resident Evil 0, the prequel to Resident Evil starring Rebecca Chambers--aka, not Claire Redfield or Jill Valentine--and cool dude Billy Coen, with his super sweet tribal tattoo that apparently spells out “Motherlove” making me hate it (and him) even more than I already do. Billy hatred aside, 0 is a disappointing experiment that adds nothing of value to the series and, in some ways, takes a little away. At least it still looks great, eh...

Is That Three Bananas in Your Pocket, or Just a Really, Really Big One? | The Pixelated Sausage Show

Two weeks in a row doesn't mean much of anything, but it does at least mean I enjoyed the test episode enough to continue with this (hopeful) permanent return to solo podcasting. I talked about more than just games this week with a bit of anime, a sprinkling of TV, and a healthy helping of dumb Patron-submitted questions. Anyway, that's it and that's all folks, so thank you for watching or listening and I hope you enjoy the show.

I Serpently Hope You Have a Better Time Than I Did With The Serpent Rogue | FIRST!

This here episode of FIRST! is all about The Serpent Rogue, a game where you take on the role of a plague doctor who needs to discover all the resources in order to make all the potions in an attempt to stop all the corruption…or something like that. The game tells you the bare minimum, throws you into the deep end, and then makes a terrible first impression, followed by a decent second impression, only to throw all that good will away with a bad third impression. It's quite the roller coaster ride, if I do say so myself.

Is This The Return of the King, or The Desolation of All Things Pog? | The Pixelated Sausage Show

Hello and welcome to this here return to traditional podcasting for one Marc Kusnierz (aka, me). It's been quite a while and I'm definitely rusty, but I do hope you enjoy this first (but not first) episode as I talk about some of my plans for the show, as well as many games--all of which can be found below along with timestamps for all. Speaking of timestamps, a YouTube version of the podcast is also available and, if you choose to consume the show that way, you'll get to see my dumb face and easily get to what topic you want via the included timestamps. Anyway, that's it and that's all folks, so thank you for watching or listening and I hope you enjoy the show.

Redout 2 May Be Cool, but I’m Too Poo at the Game; Gotta Go Back to School | FIRST!

This here episode of FIRST! is all about Redout 2, a futuristic racer very much so in the vein of classics like Wipeout and F-Zero; however, Redout 2 opts to go down the more mechanical path, focusing on speed over combat and technique over accessibility. Because of this--the latter in particular--I never quite clicked with the game, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad game, just a bad game for me.
