We decided to take the "Reading is Fundamental" feat and dive into R.A. Salvatore's "Homeland," the first book in the Legend of Drizzt series (some would argue it's the 4th and they are wrong *cough* Sarah *cough*). When we do eventually get around to talking about the book, we cover the first two chapters of the novel and stand there, I mean dumbf…

The latest round of video game commercials has come to a close with the Summer Game Fest (seriously, why not games plural?). Despite the heat dome reminding us how cooked our goose really is, we manage to temper our expectations for the showings from this year's vitamin E3 supplement. But beyond arguing about games we might not see until 2026, high…

It's a Hadozee, sorry, a doozy of a dungeon crawl, as we discuss that sensitive subject of race (soon to be species) in D&D. With One D&D updates starting to crest over the horizon (or "2024 Revision to 5th Edition,"? I genuinely don't know how they are marketing this anymore...and I think the MM comes out in 2025 anyway...), the ways in which we g…

As the legendary Ellen Greene once sang " 01010111 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01110010 01100101 01101100 01100001 01110100 01101001 01101111 01101110 01110011 01101000 01101001 01110000 01110011 00100000 01100001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01101110 01101111 00101101 01100111 01101111 00100001" Which I reference because we kick off…

Join us from the opposite end of the dungeon experience as we put on our lich-hats and talk through the finer points of setting up your lair in expectation of pesky would-be adventurers. Frankly, we just think liches are cool and will take any excuse to talk about them. We also get sidetracked by some of those other big DnD topics, including our th…

Sarah and Buzz take a gander at their first 35 hours with Capcom's Dragon's Dogma 2, the unexpected, but oft wished for, sequel to the cult classic Dragon's Dogma. As it turns out we love/loathe this title and predict it will/won't be taking GotY. It's an incredible/lackluster experience, and one that is absolutely brimming with ingenuity/time-wast…

Or at least that's what we are calling the hit game Balatro going forward. Apparently it was the term used for professional jokers or jesters that entertained wealthy folks in ancient Rome. The more you know! Aside from addicting deck builders, Sarah really wants to talk about Delicious in Dungeon, and since it's a great show and we need a second s…

Where the kisses are hers and hers and his - Final Fantasy VII! As if any of us could escape the gravity well that has been Final Fantasy VII Rebirth over the past two weeks...so of course we are going to cover more of it and its many, many mini-games. Buzz somehow managed to sink something like 95 hours into Rebirth before switching gears for some…

Take a deep breath of that fresh Grasslands air as we step out into the wide open world that is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. We unpack the massive first two chapters in this episode as we climb radio towers, collect trading cards, and get frustrated at Chadley and Mai's incessant nattering. Try to keep Kalm, as we keep it spoiler free this episode an…

Welcome back adventurers for another exciting dive into the Dunce dungeon. Sarah was unexpectedly stuck on another plane of existence, so that leaves Buzz and Will to reminisce about previous TTRPG experiences and the struggles of finding a solid group to actually play with. We get a little meta this episode, as we talk about the importance of a go…

We tune in for the latest Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase and express our sincere gratitude to Nintendo for bringing us a boatload of trailers and release dates...for software we can look forward to on other platforms. (Like, if they are doing an upgraded re-release of SMTV, why wouldn't I get it on current gen hardware?) Then, do your best impre…

It's the episode that almost wasn't! Not to be too dramatic about it, but we were plagued with audio issues during both our recording and editing. Find it in your heart to give us a bit of a break on this one. As for the actual content of the episode, Buzz seems to rant incessantly about Persona 3 Reload, which is a darn good remake but could have …

Grab a torch and your explorer's pack and join us in kicking off our new sub-series (spin-off, mini-series?) Dunce (Dunce) Dungeon!

If I could turn back time / If I could find a way ... for us to have less audio issues this episode.

Even though Sarah's audio is lost to TIME, Buzz and Will manage to finally pick apart what the phrase "Pokemon with guns" really m…

We take serious Umbreon with the two latest Pokemon DLCs on the Switch. As it turns out, sometimes putting content behind a paywall can be a Gastly affair, especially when that content is a bit Trubbish when compared to other games in the series. On the Plusle side, we at least get to take a trip to the Platinum Corner and talk about Yakuza 6: The …

In another completely original episode format, we sit down and look ahead at the old dusty trail of gaming in 2024.

We've got a real web-head on our hands in this episode, as Buzz is joined by Porter to explore the tangled web that was Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Actually, it' s not all that tangled, but rather a delicately woven and generally outstanding game if you haven't played it yet. We also start thinking with portals as we discuss our hands-on experience with…

Co-hosts were asked to prepare a top ten for the games they played in 2023, and not only did they cheat on some of their answers, but they only managed to scrounge up a measly five entries!

Two thirds of the dunces attempt a serious tone and try to appeal to a more mature audience as they get gritty with Final Fantasy XVI.

In this absolutely "eikonic" episode, the dunces recount tales of daring and damnation in Diablo IV!
