Ep. 812 – Snack Time with TADPOG
Snack Time with TADPOG! Ian has a fever busy week out of town for work so we welcome him (and Bubba Drewski) back with lots of special snacks in a relaxed fit episode as there was no time to fit in a game. We do a blind burger tasting with the last 5 drive thru … Continue reading → The post Ep. 812 – Snack Time with TADPOG appeared first on TADPOG: Tyler and Dave Play Old Games.

Ep. 772 – TADPOG Cheat Day!
TADPOG Cheat day! That’s right, we had a quick turn around because of work related things so we treated ourselves to a cheat day. That means we just chat, do some fun little games (blind drafting) and just hang out. Not much game stuff for this one but if you feel like hanging out with … Continue reading → The post Ep. 772 – TADPOG Cheat Day! appeared first on TADPOG: Tyler and Dave Play Old Games.

TADPOG’s Favorite Videogame Characters of All-Time. Well, one of us was finally bitten by the pandemic zombie. Because of this, we bring you REMOTE SHOW SHENANIGANS! We didn’t really have the time or energy because of COVID to dig into the Tecmo series that we had previously drawn from the Randomizer. So Dave had a … Continue reading → The post Ep. 663 – TADPOG’s Favorite Videogame Characters of All-Time appeared first on TADPOG: Tyler and Dave Play Old Games.

Ep. 597 – Final Fantasy IV: The After Years (Part 1)
For well over a year, we saw the cries of those dozens who listen to this podcast. “#moremiller!”, they cried! Well, he is our foremost Final Fantasy II/IV-ologist, so here he is for Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. The After Years is a pretty lengthy game, so we are bringing back the ol’ two-part TADPOG. We each played a different version of the game (Wii, PSP, and Steam), so we all have a different take on it. Come hang out!

Did you love the basketball episode last week? Do you just live for TADPOG Sports? Well, you're likely totally alone. So, one person, we bring you a hockey game, courtesy of the Randomizer—Hit the Ice! The most NBA Jamesest of SNES hockey games...but is that a good thing? You can probably guess. Come hang out with us chatting about bedtime schedules, drinking soda, a little Hades, and a little Outer Worlds.

Did you know about California Games II? That it existed? That it was an SNES game? We didn’t but the Randomizer did. As we do, we recorded a TADPOG episode over just this game – and the amount of time we talk about it is probably longer than it would take you to play it! So come hear us talk about all things California, dreams, kids, and all sorts of other things. We are also pretty sure we killed Farmville with this episode.

Caped Podcasters #98 - Superman III (1983) feat. Tyler from TADPOG
Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Tyler from TADPOG! He's joining us to talk about a doozy of a film: Superman III. AKA "the one with Richard Pryor." Tune in to see why this is considered the Superman movie that went off the rails. Superman III © 1983 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. *Superman® and its associated titles, logos, and characters are registered trademarks of DC Comics.

Ep. 577 – Football Fury
Football Fury! Yet another sports game brought to you by the Randomizer. Not just sports but football, you know, that thing Tyler and Dave know nothing about. The game is about what you’d expect based on the title and game art – so we brought on Jon and Ian of TADPOG I.T. fame! We do address just about everything we can on the game but also have plenty of fun tangents and real talk about pop tarts, a very specific deodorant, and Americanized fast food Mexican desserts. Sit awhile and listen.

Ep. 575 – Nobunaga's Ambition
Nobunaga’s Ambition is…well…ambitious. And it certainly isn’t about revenge despite how many times Tyler tries to say it is. This week the Randomizer dealt TADPOG a card that made them grumble but turned out to be a surprise. So come listen to some chill LoFi game chat with plenty of odd tangents as we talk about this war strategy “dad” game.

TADPOG DOES SPORTS! TADPOG DOES HOCKEY! Well, we try. It’s evident we aren’t sportmen and hockey is even further out of our depths but, courtesy of the Randomizer, we talk on Brett Hull Hockey! (and Brett Hull Hockey 95). Of course we talk about bathroom woes, Billy Mitchell and his hot sauce, and some good ’90s television call backs. We know our track record with sports here but come check it out!

Not since Gradius has there been so much debate on how to properly pronounce the name of a video game here on TADPOG. So RAIDEN TRAD. Is it Rye-den Trad? Ray-den Trad? Who knows? (Probably Dave) So please come on a journey with us where we talk about this shooter with plenty of discussion on Slush Puppies, Icee, Jim Varney, Patty Duke and a little Top Gun. Enjoy!

Okay, hear us out. Yes, this is TADPOG. Yes, this is a World League Soccer. Yes, we are not sport ballers. Give us a chance! We think this is a pretty funny episode (as long as you aren’t actually looking for quality soccer content). We talk Saved by the Bell, getting old, Harvey Keitel, and some pretty good redneck portmanteaus.

So to even things out we bring out the BIGGEST FOOTBALL BRAIN EVER – LAWD MULANEY DENNIS ROBISON. We talk all sorts of stuff and take some pretty pretty good quizzes. Enjoy!

Ep. 551 – Tecmo Secret of the Stars
We here at TADPOG love a good SNES JRPG. Huge fans. So when the Randomizer belched forth an RPG, we were excited. And then we played said RPG, Tecmo Secret of the Stars. We couldn't tackle a game like this without Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley. So we have some Corona virus chat, give an update on life, drink many drinks, and touch ever so slightly on this game. Enjoy!

Ep. 532 – ESPN SNES Games
ESPN Speed World, ESPN Baseball Tonight, ESPN National Hockey Night, and ESPN Sunday Night NFL. It is with these unholy elements we worship and seek the please our dark chaotic god, The Randomizer. Okay, we love the Randomizer but this week was a very rough one for us at TADPOG. Rather than do these as individual episodes (which would truly be no good for anyone) we chose to roll them into one episode. Honestly, they probably should have been on the same cartridge. So please enjoy our attempt to cross sport?

That’s a legitimate expectation because on our last episode we stated that we would in-fact be covering Vegas Stakes. Welp. Due to some serious circumstances we were not able to make that happen, but we will get to it…eventually. In the meantime, please enjoy this Patreon bonus episode on Super Mario Odyssey that we released last year.

From the numerical ether, our withering god of randomness doth bequeath this game – King of the Monsters 2! So, it’s a game. We played it. We beat it. We talk about it. A little dash of DragonCon, a pinch of a package from Chris Murray, and gallon of 1 call full of Harrison Ford accusations from Terrified Michelle! So please come eat this monster of a TADPOG cake with us. The cake is also decorated with Minions per the request of a TADPOG Sweetheart, Nicole.

Salutations, honored TADPOG listener! Have you heard the good word of the Randomizer? In it’s limited and ever shrinking divinity but infinite wisdom it deals out both the greatest of pleasures and the most horrendous of pains! Today, fair listener, we received the the large uncomfortable end of the no-no stick this week with The Terminator. We try to make it good for you with a pretty good Kenna story, a new Back the Future timeline, some robot talk, some Wolverine talk and am amuse-bouche of Belle Delphine talk, oh, and we pitch a totally new direction for th...

Let’s get this out of the way first. We do the Adventures of Yogi Bear, courtesy of the Randomizer, and i’ts about what you would expect. So, in order to enjoy our time with it – we truly get Baja Blasted and really go off the rails. We open a package from Bunny and Kira, and we do a deep dive into Hanna Barbera. Impressions are heavy, and spiked watermelon smoothies flow like the spice on Arrakis. Personally, we think this hits that “TADPOG Classic” tier. So please, enjoy and understand we know that Albert Fish was a terrible m...

Has it been a long and difficult week for you? Do you need some podcast TLC? Don’t you worry, baby, we got you covered. We invite the Top Fan and Sandwich Pope of the TADPOG Nation, Phil Hawkins, on to discuss the Randomizer chosen Wizardry V. Don’t worry, Phil can’t keep us track all the time so we delve into more Soda Jerks, Circumcision Trinkets, Dungeons and Dragons, and we take a sweet little magic quiz from our very own Ross-Rachel Green. You’ve got 2 hours of love headed your way, we hope you enjoy!

We have The Randomizer to thank for this one (all hail The Randomizer). There is a deep dive into the state of Tyler’s balls and a good update on Link’s balls. Did you miss TADPOG Theatre? No? Well, sorry. We present to you the short and sweet saga of podcast promoter Chris.Jarico.9.

Choctopus joins us as we turn our backs on The Randomizer (all hail The Randomizer!) for one week in order to talk about Goof Troop for the SNES. We talk about this 1993 Capcom action-adventure game (and anthropomorphic dog pirates), but in regular TADPOG fashion we meander down many paths of off-topic conversation. Yes, we swap chonky cat stories. We try to figure out who Mr. X is in the Resident Evil series. Do we spend time talking about Disney Afternoon cartoons and Nicktoons? Hyuck yes.

Captain Gun Nerd Jon and Wizened Sage Ian join us and help us take this episode deep into “Oops! All Intro Stories” territory. There’s more Green Ranger talk that carries over from last episode, a little MCU talk, and Jon finds out that he’s not Irish. So many tangents you’ll think you’re in Geometry class.

We also brought on an entirely new guest host that has been mentioned many time – Kyle Collins of The Experience Grind Podcast!

Ep. 436 – Mario Bros.
Wednesday is upon us again, and we’re continuing our quest to discuss each game on the NES Classic. In this episode we’re talking about Mario Bros. No, not that Mario Bros., the original Mario Bros. Y’know, the 1983 arcade platformer that was ported to the NES. It’s been a snowy week here at TADPOG HQ, so there are a few snow stories. We also decide that it’s important to know your sexual lemons. We learn about Kario, there is a celebrity twins quiz, and we take some calls.

Ep. 430 – Galaga
We’re talking about Galaga, the 1981 sequel to Galaxian on this episode. Specifically, we’re talking about the bemusingly-named NES port “Galaga: Demons of Death”.

Ep. 429 – Final Fantasy
We, TADPOG, will knock you all down!! Just kidding! We just want to podcast about Final Fantasy, the 1987 role-playing game for the NES. We’ve formed our four-person Party of Light by inviting Josh Nance (of Uniracers fame) and Drew Rowland of (Hops and Heroes fame) to guest-host. This is a game-heavy episode for sure, but don’t worry there is a “Weird Final Fantasy Syllable Replacement Quiz”.

Ep. 401 – Call of Cthulhu (Actual Play Part 1)
It has been a little over a year since we have recorded an actual play of a tabletop role-playing game. So! We got the band back together. That’s right, baby! TADPOG Sweethearts Josh and Nicole Nance join us to roll up some investigators for a Call of Cthulhu Actual Play entitled “August 5th, 1977”. It’s an original story by Tyler so it’s kind of a big deal. It has been awhile since any of us have played Call of Cthulhu—so we spend some time shaking off the rust—but we assure you that characters get created.

Ep. 394 – River City Ransom: Underground
BARF! This week we’re talking about River City Ransom: Underground by Conatus Creative, the new follow-up to the 1989 NES cult-classic River City Ransom. Of course you remember that Blake joined us to talk about the original River City Ransom way back in 2015 (Episode 184 for those keeping score at home). Here at TADPOG we strongly believe in tradition as long as it’s cheap and convenient. So…good news, everyone (spoken in the best Professor Farnsworth impression we can muster)! We asked Oathbreaker Blake Woods to join us on this episode. Rhythm Master Paul Corn enters the fray as a new...

Ep. 393 – Ultima Online
We’re joined by TADPOG Sweetheart Josh and Wizened Sage Ian to talk about Ultima Online, the 1997 MMO by Origin Systems. Things get hot and sweaty as we try a bunch of hot sauces sent to us by Faceful of Alien Wing Wong. Burger Bottom Jon gets a new title (sorry Jon). Dave becomes intoxicated by memories of virtual murder. Who knew four sweaty adult men crammed into a blanket fort could have this much fun?

Ep. 392 – All Calls with Bob EatsABaby
All Calls are back, baby! We start by cracking open a package from Faceful of Alien Wing Wong. What’s inside that package? Is it a bunch of a region exclusive Doritos? Probably! Then we answer some listener voicemail. Tyler makes an important request to TADPOG Nation for the name of a cartoon featuring a wizard who controls shapes. We talk about Weird Skeeter. It’s revealed that Patron Saint Zach is old and TADPOG Sweetheart Josh is an immortal Mod God. There’s more Hoarders talk. And we start laying the groundwork for TADPOG Hunger Games.

Burger Bottom Jon Turley returns (Jon, we’re gonna work on a new title for you, buddy)! And he’s here to play Audience Surrogate while we tell stories from the Louisville Arcade Expo (aka TADPOG Prom). There are tales from the go kart track!

Ep. 386 – Golden Axe and Golden Axe II
TADPOGlodytes! We must take up arms to defeat the profound evil that has invaded TADPOG Nation! Just like history’s great warriors Cuauhtemoc, Miyamoto Musashi, and William Wallace, we compare and discuss Golden Axe and Golden Axe II for the Sega Genesis. During our epic journey through beat ’em up fantasy, we pause to replenish our health and invigorate our spirits by opening a package from listener Shane Davis. We cower in fear before a urethral plug and suffer defeat to a volley of voice mail complications. Enjoy!

Pinball Archmage Chris Edler returns! It’s been awhile since we last recorded a show with Chris, so he made the journey down to TADPOG Blanket Fort to talk about Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball for the Sega Genesis. We answer hard hitting questions in this episode like: “Do actual pinball skills carry over to this game?”, and “What the hell kind of video game system is ‘the Acoreyn’?”. Chris also talks about some of the cool new stuff in pinball, and we try some new potato chips.

Ep. 379 – 2016 Year in Review
We got the band back together for a 2016 Year In Review! We’ve got Jacob York (of wolf fighting fame), we’ve got Wizened Sage Ian “the hottest girl in the Annex” Chandler, and we’ve got Burger Bottom Jon Turley. Despite bragging about providing Jacob with his own microphone…he still sounds off-mic (not sure why!). So it’s a tradition now, we guess! We pore over some tasty data and talk about what happened in TADPOG Nation during the dumpster fire that was 2016. There’s a lot of Rogue One talk. A lot. There are barking dogs. And we read the...

We’re talking about one of Tyler’s favorite games of all-time (that’s usually a joke but no sarcasm this time), Final Fantasy Tactics for the PlayStation. We open a package from TADPOG Santa Jack of Ziggy Moons and enjoy some Tapatio Doritos and Bacardi Watermelon Rum. Also, Zeros or Heroes, Nega Jesus, and Tellah weeps.

Welcome to the debut episode of Toots! We have an enormous backlog of voicemail and a dearth of free time, so we’re calling an audible (sports!) and going with an All Calls episode. There’s some good stuff in this episode. We open a package from Jack of Ziggy Moons, inside this package is an artifact which will leave ripples in the TADPOG Universe for years to come. We also talk about which Friends characters we are (again).

TADPOG out with your rad hog out! Surprise, we’re doing another All Calls episode! Dave has had a rough couple of days. There’s another brief Zelda timeline rant. We talk about LOST a little bit. There’s a church camp story. We talk about D&D and Edition Wars. Does Dropbox suck? Important to note: most of these calls are from late July, back when the Beloved Adam War was raging, so keep *that* in mind.

Sandwich Pope Phil Hawkins join us to talk Diablo, the 1996 action RPG by Blizzard. This is a super-sized episode! We didn’t plan it that way but there’s a lot of nostalgia fueled game discussion. And of course some of those sweet sweet tangents. We take the trendiest Facebook quiz about each other. Phil does a TADPOG and Friends live reading of Frog and Toad. Phil attempts to defends his title of TADPOG Sandwich Pope.

Ever wonder what ShowBiz Pizza would have been like had the Rock-afire Explosion become self-aware with murderous intent? Probably a lot like Five Nights at Freddy’s, which just happens to be our topic of conversation for this episode. If that’s not spooky scary enough: We also take the TADPOG Horror Game Quiz which was put together by Ramon Castillo (of Super Bomberman 2 Fame). The Harrison Ford debate rages on!

We open a package from Mike to whom a new TADPOG title is bestowed. We talk a little bit about Mr. Bean DX. We look at our new postcards! We talk about our favorite video game soundtracks. A new TADPOG spin-off show is conceived. There’s an Oreo debate and a peanut butter tangent. We talk about a few things that bum us out...

Even more Blast Processing! Rhythm Master Paul Corn is back with us at TADPOG Blanket Fort to talk about our trip to Galloping Ghost Arcade and Round One Entertainment. We talk about playing classic arcade games and very Japanese arcade games. Don’t worry, Dave is still a Billy Mitchell apostle. We come up with a name for a children’s shooting range, we invent the “vore simulator” genre and we realize a D&D fighting game would be crazy good.

We’re joined by Sweetheart Josh Nance and Sandwich Pope Phil to talk about Zelda II: The Adventure of Link for the Nintendo Entertainment System (aka the Dark Souls of Zelda games). Technically, Dave asks a lot of questions while Tyler, Josh and Phil talk about the game. Phil reads YouTube comments, shares an embarrassing poop story, and we talk about the ghost of Dragoncon future. Oh! And TADPOG shirts!

Yes, of course we talk about the controversy that swirled around the life of the King of Pop! Tyler tells a story which harkens back to early TADPOG episodes in tone and subject matter, we also gush about Conan O’Brien for a little bit, (and don’t worry) we totally talk about dutch ovens too.
