Men of Low Moral FiberThe Last MOLMFHey all, thanks for joining us along this journey for the last 9 years. We stared Men Of Low Moral Fiber when I was 30 years old and I just turned 39, so all of my 30s were consumed with recording MOLMF episodes, editing them, publishing, planning, scheduling, and playing the actual MOLMF games. It was exhausting and exhilarating and I'll never forget it...aside from all of the stuff I forgot along the way.
The whole idea was to do this as a community, focus on relationships, and have a little fun along the way as an excuse to s...

2024-07-1545 minMen of Low Moral FiberEp 87: Death's Door - Tanzi Killed A Possum (Opossum)Corrigan's favorite game! What a pleasure it was to dive into the brain of our dear cohost and find out what makes it tick. Spoiler: lots of death is what makes it tick. Unsurprisingly. Anyway, this game has all the cuteness and death a girl could want so hope you get a chance to play it too. Enjoy!
Lots of tomfoolery in this one but after many distractions the Jason-less crew finally gets into some of the gameplay (21:30) before a delightful round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (1:06:45). Then Ben and Corri take a trip to...
2024-06-251h 32Men of Low Moral FiberEp 86: Journey - Jerrrrrmileage May VaryWe finally played Journey—one of our longest-awaited games and you should definitely play it. Not to spoil the episode completely, but it's a beautiful game and all three of us (minus one of us) LOVED it, plus it's only like 2 hours long so you don't have any excuses. Get on it! Also this might be our longest MOLMF ep ever, and the first to be longer than the game itself! So yeah. That's fun.

John LaTour joins Corrigan to talk about their latest obsession: Death's Door. They even get into the development and gameplay, and play a whole round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" too.

2021-12-201h 13Men of Low Moral FiberSide Quest: SPORTS! w/ Brent PetersonAs long as we've been playing video games, we've been playing sports video games. From NHL '94 and NBA JAM to NFL Blitz and FIFA, we love the challenging, fun, and social nature of these games. So we figured, let's do a whole ep focused on just that. It's a little bit of a turn from our usual pointy, clicky adventures, but we figured if we enjoy these games, we might have a few listeners who do too.
One of those listeners is our dear FOLMF, Brent Peterson, who joined us again this week to chat about...

2021-07-0836 minMen of Low Moral FiberEp 59: Super Mario 3D World - Testing The Limits of Your CattributesWelcome back to the show, Mark Lewis! Always fun having him on the show, and always fun playing a classic Nintendo series like Mario. Just back to the basics with this one...except for it being different than any game we've ever played and a wholly unique experience completely unto itself. Hope you've gotten a chance to play it!
After some BS and intros, the gang gets into the development and gameplay (15:30) before a fun little round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (51:00). Then after some chitchat and recommendations (1:02:30) we announce next month's game (1:20:15). Enjoy!
2021-06-131h 21Men of Low Moral FiberEp 58: There Is No Game - There Is No PodJust a normal conversation between friends this month. Sorry, we didn't get to a game or podcast or anything. Nothing to see here...
We definitely don't chat for a big before getting into the development of a video game (10:30) and diving deep into our own experiences playing it. We definitely don't play a game based on that game where we pick a drink and a song based on that game...that doesn't exist (43:00), and we don't recommend anything else we're playing either (51:30), and we most assuredly do not talk about what game we're playing next month (64:00).
2021-05-231h 10Men of Low Moral FiberEp 57: Spiritfarer - That's How Death WorksWelcome to spring! To celebrate the new blooms on the trees and new baby animals springing up everywhere, we're playing a game entirely centered around death and dying...but in the cutest way possible! Seriously though, this game was heavy, and light, and well, basically EVERYTHING to us. So much so, that we had to bring on a special guest, Corrigan's sister Erin. She helped us process our thoughts and emotions as we discussed the ups and downs of one of our favorite games of all time: Spiritfarer. Enjoy!
After some intros and BS, and some really...
2021-04-072h 01Men of Low Moral FiberEp 56: Donut County - Something Wonderful Came Out Of That HoleSomeday we'll make it back to a 1980s LucasArts game...BUT NOT TODAY! This month we're diving deep into Donut County and loving every sugary crumb of it. It's not often a game is created, designed, programmed, scored, and produced by just one person...but this one somehow was and it's kind of a masterpiece! So get your pink boxes ready and your dust off the powdered sugar from your favorite headphones. Let's get into it...
As always, we meander through the intro and development before getting into the gameplay itself (29:30), then play a sweet little round...
2021-03-121h 30Men of Low Moral FiberEp 55: Escape From Monkey Island - No One Can Justify Monkey KombatWe're getting back to our roots and really pandering to our target audience (and ourselves) with this month's throwback: Escape From Monkey Island. Released in Y2K, this beast of a puzzle-monkey-kombat-adventure game is full of some of our favorite characters, locations, inside jokes, and even a nod to the name of the pod itself! Hope you get a chance to play this gem, but if not, it's kinda spoilerproof, so strap in and enjoy!
We talk A LOT about the game from a high level, then get into the gameplay specifics finally (26:15), before eventually playing an...
2021-02-101h 22Men of Low Moral FiberMOLMF Holiday SpecialHappy holidays to all and to all a good pod! Here are our end of the year awards for all the games we played. We talk plenty of games, but also LOTS of tangents. Hope you enjoy it.
And stay tuned for our bloopers and bleepers highlight reel at the very end. It's a doozy.
It's been a great ride and we're looking to many more years of gaming together. Thanks again!

2021-01-021h 34Men of Low Moral FiberEp 54: Paradise Killer - An Ironic FrappuccinoIt's our December game!!! Hope this helps bring some warmth to your holiday season and Jason welcomes on Renata Price, games critic formerly of Fanbyte who somehow enjoyed Paradise Killer even more than Jason. It's a real love fest. Hope you were able to play! (Unlike lazybones Corrigan and sluggard Ben)
After the introduction they get into the development (9:00) then dive fully into gameplay and spoilers not long after that (13:45). After LOTS of high level PK talk, they bring it back down to play a lovely round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (60:00). Then Ben joins...
2020-12-261h 15Men of Low Moral FiberSide Quest: All Filler, No KillerFor the first time in the history of MOLMF, we're not publishing our game on time. 2020 is still 2020.
So while our Paradise Killer ep is still a few weeks away, Jason and Ben got together to have a little conversation about some of their favorite games they've played recently, as well dealbreakers they've discovered over the years. Enjoy!

Hopefully you're finding fun ways to celebrate the spookiest of holidays, full of plenty of candy and terrors--I know we are! We played the terrifying and surprisingly thoughtful and story-centric tale Little Nightmares, and we're bringing it to you a week early so you can rightfully celebrate All Hallows' Eve with our scariest episode ever. We were also honoured to have the other half of Corrigan's Jack Of All Graves podcast, Mark Lewis, join us and equally excited for his pronunciation of the word "bears". Get psyched!
After some goofs and some spoofs, we get...
2020-10-311h 33Men of Low Moral FiberSide Quest: Star Wars SquadronsWe took a quick break from Little Nightmares to play another MOLMF classic: Star Wars Squadrons. It's a new Star Wars game so of course we had to play it and we were even lucky enough to bring in our old Friend Of Low Moral Fiber Sean Thompson to help us take her for a spin!
Thanks again to Sean for joining us!

2020-10-2134 minMen of Low Moral FiberEp 52: Never Alone - Alive In A New MediumWe downloaded this game YEARS ago, so it's a pleasure to finally get to talk about it as we welcome in Dr. Wendi Sierra onto the pod as a scholar, game developer, writer, and Oneida tribe member.
We start off getting into who Wendi is and diving into her area of research, then we dive into the game itself and all of our experiences playing it. After a bit of that we have a lengthy game of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (37:00), then take a trip on the magical Recommendation Station (47:30), and a lovely little ride o...
2020-10-141h 23Men of Low Moral FiberEp 51: Treachery in Beatdown City - Just Dirty EnoughWe're running things back...to earlier this year. That's right, it may be a new game, but it definitely hearkens back to the games of yore that inspired this pod in the first place. Hope you get a chance to play it!
It's another one of those great episodes where the history and development just smooshes into the gameplay with no discernible separation or musical interlude...so yeah. Go us. Anyway, after we talk about the game for awhile, we eventually play a rousing game of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (40:15), talk about our favorite segments (48:15...

Thanks again to all of our listeners and supporters for all the encouragement and engagement over the years. Hope you enjoy this special 50th episode!
Today we're re-playing Thimbleweed Park to celebrate the game that best encapsulates all the reasons we started this podcast in the first place. We also welcome in Ben's wife Hannah to celebrate with us, as she played through the game this month as well.
2020-08-111h 20Men of Low Moral FiberEp 49: Ballblazer & Rescue on Fractalus! - Plasmorbs & JaggiesThanks for bearing with us as we took the month of June off. It's great to finally be back, and we're looking forward to so many more great games this year! First off, it was so fun to finally go back and play these two games. Reminded us of why we started MOLMF in the first place. Secondly, we spent some extra time this episode talking about what's going on in the country (and world) today, and what we're doing to address some of those issues personally—hopefully you appreciate the transparency.
Thanks for coming along the th...
2020-07-151h 16Men of Low Moral FiberEp 48: Undertale - Truly the Most Tsundere of GamesWe fell in love with Undertale this month. Hopefully you got a chance to play it with us, just like our guest did (who somehow managed to play it much better than us...jeez), Corrigan's sister, Ed! Thanks for joining us!
After some introductory info and jibber-jabber we finally get into the development of Undertale (17:30) and talk about the specific plot details after that (37:00). Eventually the gang gets into the Drink and Song choices (67:00), and plays a delightful round of... "Corri's Screen Grab Game!"—it needs a better title (78:00). Then they chat about what else they've all be...
2020-05-231h 37Men of Low Moral FiberSide Quest: Double Fine Adventure DocumentaryJason, Corrigan, and Ben all watched the 20-part documentary series "Double Fine Adventure" all about the making of Broken Age (see our last episode for more details on that game). It chronicled everything from the artwork to the development to the budget to the reception, and wow. It was jam-packed full of golden nuggets that we hope to distill down into a golden nugget reduction that's just to die for. Lots of hilarity ensues.
Also we announce the game we'll be playing for our 50th episode later this year. Check it out!
Hey there. If...

And due to the terrible state of the entire world today, we're bringing you another Side Quest this month! Huzzah!!! Now to the episode at hand...
Corrigan, Jason, and Ben were all around twiddling their thumbs, so they dive right into the development (more to come on that later...), and got into the nitty gritty gameplay soon after (11:30). After a quick drink and some tunes (43:30), they talk about what else they've been playing and well, they've been...

Hope you were able to give this one a shot, because it's one of those rare truly unique and special games. And while each of us differed on our overall love for it, we all were blown away by different aspects of the game and had plenty to talk about in this episode--our longest episode EVER. So yeah...sorry? Or...enjoy? You decide!
We chit chat a bunch off the top, then quickly talk about some of the development (13:00) before getting...

He's joined us for previous Star Wars games, so this one was right up his alley. Hope you enjoy the show!
After a quick intro, we get into the development (4:00) which bleeds into gameplay eventually (18:30). Then we play some delicious WTDWTS (41:00), talk about what else we've been playing (48:45), and then forget to pick next month's game...until the VERY end. So enjoy that!

2020-01-011h 08Men of Low Moral FiberEp 44: The Stanley Parable - WWB&JDWe're diving deeeeeep into The Stanley Parable this month as we debate whether or not we listen to that ever-present voice in our heads constantly telling us what to do. We hope you get a chance to play this marvelous game because even though the three of us differed on how much we liked this game overall, we each really appreciated different aspects of the game and it did some stuff we haven't really seen anywhere else. Anyway, hope you enjoy the pod!
After some cursory introductory jib jab, we talk about the development of the game (6:00...
2019-12-171h 12Men of Low Moral FiberEp 43: Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - All The CheatsTis the season... Star Wars season!!! There's a new Star Wars game coming out this month, and the last film in the Skywalker Saga coming out next month, so we figured why not play another classic Star Wars game from the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight/Kyle Katarn series? So we did!
We start off talking about the development of the game (3:30) and get into the gameplay pretty soon after (17:00). Then we play a juicy round of WTDWTS (37:45), talk about what else we've been playing (43:45), and then finish things with what we'll be playing next month. Can't wait!
2019-11-1857 minMen of Low Moral FiberEp 42: Among The Sleep - Get That GlitchHappy Halloween!

Go get this for Switch and enjoy it like we did!
We pretty quickly get into the development of the game and the company behind it (5:00), then turn to the gameplay shortly after (18:00). Then we play some WTDWTS (39:45), talk about what else we’ve been playing (48:15), and what we’re playing next month (53:15)! [Hint: it’s another classic star wars game!]

Corrigan couldn't be bothered to play with us this month, so it's just Jason and Ben running around the galaxy, blowing s#@* up...but we thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless. You will be missed dear Corrigan, but we're excited to have you back next month!
Things got a little weird with the timeline and order this month (you'll see why), but basically, after the intros, we get into the making-of at some point (around 5:15), then chat about...
2019-09-161h 03Men of Low Moral FiberEp 40: The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa - Making You Think Like YouWe're talking all things Ringo this week in this fighting/RPG/open-world strange game from earlier this year. Jason walks us through the making of the game and we all dive fist-first into the gameplay as (most of us) were able to beat the whole thing this month.
After the intro, we get into the making of the game and why we (Jason) chose to play it (6:00) and eventually we start talking gameplay (26:00). Then of course we libate it up and play some "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (48:45), talk about what else we've been playing (61:30), and e...

Strap on your adolescent and melodramatic murder mystery hats!
After some high level tomfoolery, we finally get into the development of the game (5:00), and dive deeeeeep into the gameplay eventually (27:00). After a long and lovely discussion on that, we talk about what might be the libation and what might be the tune most related to this game (61:00), and of course chat about what other games we might be playing simultaneously (73:00). Then we end with...

We get into the background and making of the game at the top, then welcome Corrigan onto the podcast for a lengthy discussion of the gameplay (15:30). After that, Corri stays on the pod for a classic round of "What's The Beer? What's...

Hope you had a chance to pick up Kôna this past month, because it's definitely a mind-bending, terrifying, intriguing game. Here we go...
After the intro, we get into the backstory and development of the game (5:30), then chat about all the joys and frustrations of the gameplay itself (10:45). Then of course we play a moist round of WTBWTS (36:30), talk about what else we've b...

After a intro and development segment, we're joined again by Richard Nile to discuss all of the gameplay goodness of KOTOR. He also joins for a rousing round of "What's The Beer? What's The Song?" and we talk about what else we've...

After some intros, we get into the history of the game and surrounding lore around the 2:30 mark, then we hit the gameplay at 22:30 and get deep into all 21 levels (most of them at least). Honestly, we end up diving deep into some Wookieepedia on Rahn...

2018-05-1247 minMen of Low Moral FiberEp 25: What Remains of Edith Finch - Cuttin’ OnionsWelcome to a very deep, dark episode of Men Of Low Moral Fiber! We're keeping things REAL this episode and don't shy away from some of the darkest themes we've ever covered in MOLMF.
We really enjoyed What Remains of Edith Finch, but at the same time, the game deals with a LOT of death and heartbreak, so we went with that and kind of dove into that a bit midway through. Anyway, follow the timeline below if you want to skip those deathly sections.
We changed things up a big this month and started...
2018-04-081h 03Men of Low Moral FiberEp 24: Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire - Chocolate Wampas!We're moving onto a new operating system in this episode as we eye a whole new era of nostalgia. This time we're talking all about the N64 Star Wars classic 1996 Shadows of the Empire! The boys played this game like crazy back in the 90s and find it a treat to revisit. Hopefully you got a chance to do the same!
After the intros they get into the history of game (4:00), then the gameplay (21:30). Then of course they play a delicious round of "What's The Beer? What's The Song?" (32:30), and introduce a new segment: "What Else We...
2018-03-1046 minMen of Low Moral FiberEp 23: Grim Fandango - Palimpsest Of Indiana Jones RefsWe're back after a month off to bring you all one of the highest-acclaimed LucasArts games ever: Grim Fandango. Somehow this slipped through our fingers in our youth, so we were happy to give it a shot and it did not disappoint! Friend of the podcast, Nick Bontrager joins the boys as Grim is one of his all-time favorites. Thanks again for joining us, man!
After some intro talk, we get into the making-of Grim Fandango at 9:30 in, then dive deeper into the gameplay at 31:30. Of course, we throw in a few rounds of "What's The Beer...

2017-12-2527 minMen of Low Moral FiberEp 22: Zak McKracken - Effin' Towns!We finally did it! Another classic SCUMM game. Oh man, this is why we do this podcast. Hopefully you enjoyed playing Zak as well, but even if you didn't, you'll probably still get a kick out of this blast from the past.
We do some quick intro information, we get into the history and making-of around the 5:45 mark, and really get into the gameplay around 19:15. We play some "What's The Beer? What's The Song?" around 32:00 and finish things up talking about next month's game at 39:30. Enjoy!

2017-12-0641 minMen of Low Moral FiberEp 21: Loom - But Why Swans Again?It's LOOOOOM!!!! Yeah, it's a SCUMM game, but it's even weirder than any of the other ones. Don't like verbs? How about playing tunes with a distaff instead?? That's right, it's super weird. That being said, we had a blast diving into another LucasArts classic. Hopefully you did to. Enjoy!
After some quick intros, we start up on the history and development at the 5:40 mark, then at 21:45 we start getting deeper into the gameplay. Then Ben has a few questions for Jason around the 32 minute mark, they play a delightful round of "What's The Beer? What's The...
2017-11-0545 minMen of Low Moral FiberEp 20: Tacoma - The Future Is PolygonalThis month we're bringing you another new game!!! I know...it's weird. But we're not apologizing for it, b/c we really enjoyed this little ditty. Strap on your space suit and hold your holographic cat close, we're going to space!
After some quick intros, we get into the development and history of the game at about 2 min in which quickly bleeds into the gameplay for the next 30 min or so (we touch on the AR system specifically around the 30 min mark). We just had to play a round of "What's The Beer? What's The Song" at 33:15...

2017-10-0604 minMen of Low Moral FiberEp 19: Everything - We Swear We're Not HighHave you ever played a game you weren't sure was a game? Where there weren't any rules and no story to follow? In fact, it almost seemed more true and real than anything in your life had ever been up to that point?
Yeah. That's this game.
Or at least it comes close to that a few times. Anyway, we really enjoyed Everything, and we highly suggest you give it a play before you jump into this episode. That being said...there aren't really any spoilers sooo....have at it!
In this month's...
2017-09-0258 minMen of Low Moral FiberEp 18: Gone Home - Steggy? …SteggyAnother game from this decade! Weird, right? I promise we'll get back to vintage games at some point, but for now we're playing the instant classic, Gone Home. Think Firewatch stuck in a mansion. Pretty fun, right? Well it was! We had a great time playing it, and hope you did too.
This episode is pretty spoiler-heavy, and the game is pretty short, so go ahead and play it before you listen too far into the episode. Hope you enjoy it, and enjoy the pod too!
After a quick introduction, we start talking about the...
