The R&P crew are back at it again with another weird topic and great video game music! This time it’s all about puppets! Characters who are puppets, and characters who control other characters. This is a common theme in many games, and you just know Rob had a hard time not picking exclusively from Muppets games. So you get one, and it’s probably the best oneIt was very close!

It’s a little late, but we’re celebrating St. Patrick’s day sort-of with an episode based on luck! That means every word Pernell says is determined from a dice roll! We speak sandwich tomorrow La-Mulana skittles! But really we’re digging into games where luck, or what sometimes feels like luck, plays a huge part of the gameplay. But Rob got lazy and looked at casino games. We hope you enjoy the jams!

Creating fun nonsense words to confuse an older generation is a time-honored tradition, especially on the internet. Today we’re diving into games and music that makes us feel like we’ve lost “it”, or maybe still have “it”. Whatever “it” could be, there is definitely a history of silly slang words used in video games. And that fire is going to be badder than a drip off the radical skibidi thang, you dig?
