Man, when I saw Dragon Bowl, I was really hoping for some kind of wacky arcade version of Blood Bowl. I have a really sharp image of this in my head now.

For some reason, Dragon Breed reminded me that you guys should play King of the Monsters, and King of the Monsters 2. Best arcade games I ever wasted my childhood on. Period.

Before we started doing the show, Nick and I actually played through the first two King of the Monsters games. We can put it on the list, but god drat are the bosses incredibly difficult after a certain point.

Well if it was easy to be king, it wouldn't be so sweet.

I love it. I love that you look like you're doing all the wrong and stupid things in these puzzle games, and then you win anyway, and it drives people insane.

It's funny to me that the idea of setting up combos instead of always clearing singles is somehow mysterious and baffling to everyone except Keith.

Right? You can't win these games without planning ahead. That's why they show you the next piece. It's like stacking up tetriminos while leaving one column on the side empty so they can clear it with a straight piece. That doesn't work forever.

You sure you can't keep that pace up forever? Have you seen the Grand Masters at GDQ exhibitions?

I can't say that I have, but I also can't imagine that anyone is lucky enough to be able to pull that off after a few levels, when pieces arrive going at manual drop speed.

Also, do they have Battle Balls Grand-championships? Because that I could get behind.

Kinda sad there's no more Crystal of Kings. You guys seem to get into beat 'em ups pretty well. Barring 2 Crude Dudes, of course.

On an unrelated note, I recently came across a mid-80's DataEast FMV game called "Road Blaster" that might be worth looking at. It's really quite bad, but if you're good at it, it rewards you with animes exploding.

Huh. Thought you were talking about RoadBlasters, got confused. Thinking of FMV games, though, makes me wonder if I still have those interactive DVDs of Don Bluth's laserdisc games. I'll have to check.

Wow, that seems like lawsuit territory. You know, back in the 80's. If anyone cared about videogames in the 80's.

After actually looking at the footage again, I realized that sometimes there's a guy with a sign on his back that tells you where a bad guy will be. Probably way more poo poo that we didn't realize about the game, since it was the first time we'd ever played it haha.

On that same note of requests, I'd love to see you take on Twinkle Star Sprites. It's one of those games that takes some practice to really click though, and it's fun in both singleplayer and multiplayer flavors.

Alright, it's Monday and here's the 100th game we've played on Mom Can I Have Another Dollar. We got King of the Monsters 2! I can't recall if it's mentioned in this episode or not, but this is the game that made Nick and Kyle decide to make this show. Also, requested by Danger Pumpkin. (Or did you want the first one? Eh, oh well.)

Just in case anyone was curious or even realized that we record in Orlando, we're all fine. I only say that, because a surprising amount of people in my family seemed to think I frequent the gay clubs.

Pretty late to actually see this, but thank you so gosh darn much. I love this drat game.

Edit: I appreciate you questioning your initial presumption. And for likening me to Beetlejuice. I love that movie!

It was everything I could have hoped for and more. I highly encourage you (if you haven't already recorded all of these episodes) to try out every character; they're all either pretty cool (like Kurokishi, the blonde lady you used in this episode) or weird as hell, as you saw with Tulks and his dick-mounted gun holster and flaming sandal kicks.

Apparently with the arcade mode of Power Stone 2, it doesn't require you to kill all the other players, it's a weird story mode where two players can move on. A little strange, but we got something figured out for Head to Head.

It is very entertaining to watch you all suffer, btw. I vote an entire week of trying to come to terms with Power Stone!
