I have an old friend who has a job that takes her out of the country for years at a time, often to real garden spots like central Asia or Central America. (No, she’s not in the CIA). We email to stay in touch, so I sent one to her the other day wishing her a happy birthday and telling her about how my new married life is going. Every so often, she has to leave where she’s been living [...]
The Backlog Commandos, Cole and Andrew, join Josh and Justin to discuss among other things the proper rating for Rapture, duckfaces in space, hot bounty hunters, a bad game ending, WWI flight, drunk kids, non-games, Clive Barker, and Aladdin in Minecraft. Super Gaming Best Friends: the podcast where Horrible Night writers and friends get caught up on their latest video game adventures and then get to know each other better by discussing off-topic interests. Show Notes Cast: Josh, Justin L, Cole, [...]
Meanwhile… we’ve actually been playing games. Each week we recap our recent gaming experiences and tell you what we’re looking forward to, so you can use your time more wisely than we have. We’ve suddenly been infiltrated by Assassins. Space changes people. Ethan (Wizardtrain187) I have been looking forward to Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City for quite some time despite knowing very well that it was going to be a middle of the ground game in terms of polish. I can [...]
Alright, I’ll come out and say it before I start rattling off excuses and justifications: all of those classic Nintendo and Super Nintendo games that we talk about as genre-starters or so-good-they’re-still-fun-to-play? With the exception of Contra (which I beat on XBLA), Bionic Commando (which I beat in my first all-nighter), and Super Mario World (which I beat in college) I’ve never beaten a one of them. Let’s do the list, so my secret is completely out and I’m open [...]
So you see this girl across the room. She’s beautiful, mysterious, and she’s motioning you over. It could go any direction from here, but right now you think you know everything you need to, right? Wrong! It’s not every day that I bring up my dating history on a gaming website, but there are a couple of relationships I’ve had that I think are worthy of noting here, for the sake of some of my own back-story. Throughout February, Horrible [...]

Society is full of a bunch of strange crap, but nothing makes me fear for humanity more than the weird stuff that people are attracted to. Just take a stroll through the red light district of the internet and you’ll find a fetish for everything. From grown men in diapers and life-size cribs to the mysteriously screwed up world of “Furries”, it’s amazing that new ideas for sexual gratification are still being thought up. While disturbing, these are just examples [...]
In our attempt to point out the not so offensive portions of video games, Justin, Cole, Ethan, Josh, and Justin end up making the most offensive episode of the show yet. Monster profiling, floating heroes, crushed horses and others get their due.

For the first time, we opened up this week’s discussion to the community on Facebook, check out their responses below our answers to: What video game character do you think has or would have the hardest time maintaining lasting relationships and why? JP (JPizzle151) I still don’t understand how Mario and Peach are still an item. That princess has caused Mario an insane amount of trouble. Maybe he’s in it for the money, but there has never been a hint [...]
