Watch Out for Fireballs! 113: System Shock 2

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross lay into System Shock 2.

System Shock 2 will pretty much always show up on any "Greatest PC Games of All Time" lists. It inspired Bioshock, a game that we very much like. But, does it hold up? Listen as we talk about the many great ideas that System Shock 2 has, and the many ways it burns through whatever good will it earns.

Teenage Dirtbags 22: "Anything Can Happen on Halloween" from Worst Witch

This is my favorite video we've done for the show. Please watch it, please. It's [here.][1] It's better than a vid-e-o. Look for the new album from Pitch Industries "Anything Can Happen on Holidays" in 2016. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUhuPn8_d0Q

Watch Out for Fireballs! 112: Blaster Master

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross blow through Blaster Master.

We've covered several NES platformers on the show, but mostly from bigger publishers. Capcom and Konami are mainstays, and of course we've talked a lot about Nintendo itself, but SunSoft has racked up more Abject Suffering entries than WOFF! entries. Blaster Master is a varied and eclectic game with some neat ideas and inconsistent execution. Those neat ideas count for a lot, though, and ambition gets points.

Teenage Dirtbags 21: "Black or White" by Michael Jackson

Okay, first watch this video. Then look around you, because odds are good that Michael Jackson's world-warping chroma-dance has placed him in your room... even beyond the grave! How many Michael Jacksons can dance on the Hagia Sophia? As many as can dance on the head of a pin.

Abject Suffering 110: Total Recall

Howdy, Quaid. If you're watching this, that means that Kuato is dead, and you led us to him. I knew that you wouldn't let me down. Sorry for all of the shit I've put you through, but hey, what are friends are for? All I want to do is wish you happiness and good living, old buddy, but unfortunately, that's not gonna happen. You see, that's "my" body you have there, and I want it back. Sorry for being an Indian giver, but I was here first. So, adios, amigo!

Watch Out for Fireballs! 111: King of Dragon Pass

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross gird their loins to battle King of Dragon Pass.

File this one under "Gem that should have gotten more attention." It's a strategy-game-meets-CYOA, but it's so much more. It's a tale of barbarians, but not in the way you'd expect. It's a fusion of narrative and systems on a level you don't really see. Do yourself a favor, listen to this episode as a beginner's guide, and buy King of Dragon Pass for your device of choice.

Nick and Gary hack into Shadowrun: Hong Kong. It's slightly worse than Dragonfall but that's like saying 9 dollars is slightly worse than 10 dollars. You should definitely play this one. As a quick admin note, we're going on a brief hiatus while Gary deals with some blood curdling real life shit. We'll be back for Rebirth (at the latest!).

Teenage Dirtbags 20: "Freak on a Leash" by Korn

You like Korn, don't you? Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it.

What a fascinating experience this video is. High highs featuring ammomancy and edgey MacFarland art, then low lows featuring a grunt solo that I can't actually listen to.
