Today, gather 'round and help the Dogcast give a big ol' "Yippee-ki-yay" to the incredible Mr. Wizard (aka Evil Jarrad). Who would have known that working on race cars would eventually lead to the creation and development of some of the most unique and sought-after game reproductions on the planet--on everything from PC, to NES, to Dreamcast just to name a few. And ohthat one time Jarrad's New Ghostbusters 2 NES cart went viral and almost broke the internet.

We were super-excited to see the Wizard for a hilarious and unpretentiously-informative chat about a whole bunch of topics, including:

- Insight into modern game development on the Sega Dreamcast (also: is it the best system ever?)!
- Fist-fights while playing Goldeneye!
- Why it's a good idea to beta test games before releasing!
- Which retro game controllers would make the best weapon?!
- The challenges of tying to support a game devlopment team scattered across the globe.
- Any new games on the horizon?
- And much more!

Fun-loving spartan, Kratos and his son, Atreus are invited by their dwarven friend, Sindri, to stay at their posh between realm home. Little do they know that Sindri is the perpetrator of a fraud they've uncovered and is arranging to have Odin killed.

When the plan backfires and SPOILER is actually SPOILER, the duo decide not to let a little death spoil their fimbulwinter. They pretend everything is okay, leading to hijinks and corpse desecration galore.

Prost everybody!  This week we celebrate Oktoberfest by raising our beer steins in honor of the 20th anniversary of the release one of the most popular, influential, and controversial games in modern history:  Grand Theft Auto 3! 

So, c'mon in and join The Dogcast  as we discuss the GTA series while imbibing some great Oktoberfest brews from across the world--including some delicious Marzen lagers sent to us by a most-excellent Patreon Pal: Ryan K. 

In our final episode of Indie Games Month, the Raw Dogs go deep on What Remains of Edith Finch and Kentucky Route Zero!  Dylan is right once again and Brad loves all of his recommendations.

Why shouldn't you go on a date with a Finch?  Is the Zero just a flat circle?  And is all life meaningless so you should just get to work and deal with it?

Some of these answers might be answered!  At the end of the episode, we have our list of Top 10 Indie Games of All Time!

Thanks for tuning in and write a review.  Or not.  Just don't drink Hard Times Whiskey if a skeleton offers it to you.

Life is like a Box of Pandora... you never know what you're gonna get.

Slow-witted Kratos (Tom Hanks) has never thought of himself as disadvantaged, and thanks to his supportive father (Zeus), he leads anything but a restricted life. Whether dominating on Olympus as a college football star, fighting in Hades or captaining a shrimp boat, Kratos inspires people with his childlike optimism. 

In this episode, we discuss the God of War series at length and it is kind of like remember how great high school was and cringing at some of the things you said and wish you could forget.

Look, we think video games are pretty cool. But sometimes even our favorite games do "things" that make them really, really hard to love.

So today we welcome you to this brand new episode of The Dogcast where we celebrate our love of video games with a little bit of fun--and mildly cathartic--group therapy! This week we discuss, yell, opine, lament, and drink delicious beer through many of the things that video games do that have annoyed, irked, frustrated, and made us wonder "Who thought THAT was a good idea?" through the years. And WHY do they continue to do these things??! Oh, and you're invited! Come commiserate with us!

We also discuss some recent decisions made by Sony that on the surface seem a bit dubious and not consumer focused. Is there trouble brewing within the Playstation empire? Or is the company on the right track? The answer might be (lame pun alert!) Dual-Shocking!

Times:

05:35 - What We're Playing!
23:00 - News!
1:32:00 - TOPIC OF THE SHOW: Dear Video Games, Please Stahhhp!

Let us know what frustrates you about the video games you love! We will share some on our next Dogcast!

Welcome to a Dogcast of positively monumental proportions! This week we're joined by our super pals Wes and Rob from the excellent YouTube retro-gaming (and beer!) channel: Gaming Off the Grid! Together we debate, discuss, and deliberate our way to building our official Mount Rushmore of the WORST VIDEO GAME MASCOTS OF ALL TIME! And let us tell you, there is no shortage of absolutely horrible, incredibly annoying, and PTSD-inducing mascots and games through the years. We're going to need another drink or three.

So hold on to your Boogerman and your Wild Woodys kids, and get ready to embark on a trip back to an era where 'tude ruled and anthropromorphic wombats/bobcats/food/pencils/etc. roamed the video game world!

Oh, and for some reason we talk about Doink the Clown(s).

Summer gamin', had us a blast. Summer gamin', happened so fast.

Go ahead and pile on that sun tan lotion and join Josh and Tom as they kick back with a couple cold ones and jib-jab about gaming in the sweaty midst of summertime. We also talk about the recently announced NES Classic--a $60 mini-console being released this holiday by the Big N. Are we excited about it? You'll sure find out! Oh, and how about some juicy Nintendo NX rumors? Yes, have some!  We've also been doing some good ol' fashioned reading and we talk about the most-excellent book "Console Wars"--all about the epic fight between the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo back in the early 90's.

I became Elden Lord and all I got was this dumb armor!

So you defeated the Elden Beast.  We both know that's not enough for you.  In this episode, we tackle a whole lot of numbers from the rarest weapons and armor to a whole bunch of bell bearings.  No stone is left unturned as we scour the Lands Between to find every single item and boss in the game.

Yes, we have a problem and we call it Elden Ring.

We love Indie games! In recent years, Indie games have experienced an incredible trajectory: what used to be relatively obscure--yet deeply beloved--games developed and self-published by a handful of passionate people have since rocketed through the mainstream gaming stratosphere and are now played (and in most cases, still deeply beloved) by millions. In fact, many of gameplay innovations happening in triple-A games today have their roots in and have originally been explored in Indie titles. And in many cases, what started out as Indie games have now become some of the biggest franchises in the world--lookin' at you Minecraft.

And today The Dogcast celebrates them!

Also on this episode:
- We celebrate the 35th Birthday of Super Mario Bros! But...has Nintendo crossed the line with its fans?!
- We'll talk about Microsoft's "leaky" next-gen console reveal.
- Um, Beetleborgs?
- Dylan reviews the Indie title "Astrozombies" and begins a career in stand-up comedy.
- Tony Hawk 1+2 Remake
- We drink and give our thoughts on some great brews--including Drekker Brewing's Chonk Birthday Cake Sour.
...And much more!

Tears of the Kingdom has arrived and naturally we have to talk about it, because we have feelings.  Is it as good as they say?  Spoiler warning, yes. 

First, we have the news and cover the biggest stories in video games for the month of May 2023.  We go into detail about the Playstation Showcase and the confusing "Q".

The Console Critters catch you up on all the juicy games on their prospective systems.  Chad Xbox gives an update on the Activision Blizzard Fiasco.

And then we open the Tears Floodgates.  Dylan is overjoyed and Brad tries to play devil's advocate and fails spectacularly.

Boomshakalaka! On this episode, we are super-excited to welcome two of the coolest cats to the Dogcast: Tim Kitzrow and Michael Mendheim of Digital Dreams Entertainment!

If you grew up playing arcade games in the 90's, chances are Tim Kitzrow's voice defined your childhood (and if you're like us, your adulthood as well). Tim is the voice of NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, MLB Slugfest, and many others--including his most recent game: Mutant Football League!

Tim is joined by his colleague--and mastermind--behind the excellent Mutant Football League, Mr. Michael Mendheim! Mike was also the lead designer for the 16-bit classic Mutant League Football for the Sega Genesis and brings a wealth of knowledge and hilarious anecdotes of his time working on both games (and working with Tim) to the Dogcast table. He also brought a Miller Lite. Good man.

So press play and buckle up li'l Doggies, cuz this one is a crazy fun ride!

Sometimes you really need a hug and it might be because of murder bears holding face puss from a dying fish god man who was the all-star quarterback for the Leyndell Dragons.

In this episode, Alexander and Sir Ofnir discuss the lore of Fia and her lovely hugs.  Our pal Godywn has seen better days but if we can just recover the two half centipede cursemarks there might be a way to sleep with the fish monster that is polluting the roots to fight his dream dragon and somehow maybe let death be a part of the cycle again.

That makes sense right?

Indie Games Month is here!  In our first, episode we discuss the gargantuan game, Don't Starve.

In this game, you are dropped into an unwelcoming and hostile environment and must make glower hats and buckets-o-poop to survive.  What starts out as a Tim Burton looking survival sim quickly branches out into bouts of insanity, shipwrecked sailing, and angry tree boss battles.  

As long as beer counts as food, we should all be fine.

This episode is all about that new Nintendo Switch! The Dogcast got their game-and-beer-loving paws on a launch console and aren't afraid to give you their first-hand impressions. Is it good? Does it suck? Is it the next PS2, or is it the next Atari Jaguar? Just put us in your ears and find out! All is answered inside!

And speaking of the Switch...how's that new Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game? Well, we played that thing. Does it give us happy tingles or sad tingles (Tingle, get it?! GET IT?!! Hahaha!! Sigh. Sorry, lame Zelda joke)?

Finally, we almost die from beer poisoning. Seriously. Thank the beer gods it was all captured on tape for your listening pleasure.

Finally finally, Hair of the Dogcast will be at the 2017 Midwest Gaming Classic on April 7,8, and 9th!  Come visit us in the vendor hall!  Let's mingle and stuff!

 Some takes may be HOT.  Please handle with care.  

This episode is dedicated to Norm MacDonald.  RIP to a brilliant, genuine talent.

And he would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling Redfields!

Albert Wesker is a titan god king with a set of cat eyes and we can't get enough of him! The Raw Dogs discuss the entire lore of the Resident Evil universe from the perspective of everyone's favorite god-king!

If you're a collector, you know Limited Run Games. Limited Run is one of THE great video game success stories in recent years, carving a niche for themselves in the collecting enthusiast market where nearly every physical release they announce turns into an event. Remember when Limited Run announced a physical version of Night Trap for modern consoles and the internet exploded? Yep, that happened.

And Joe Modzeleski is one of the guys at Limited Run that makes it happen. Joe joined the company shortly after the release of Night Trap and is the man responsible for porting many of the most sought-after games that have been released since that time--such as the port of Double Switch for the--you guessed it--Nintendo Switch..

Oh, and it just so happens Joe creates his own in-demand games as well--with literally lines of people at PRGE clamoring for a physical copy of his recent (and self-proclaimed "silly") game "Revenge of the Birdking".

Joe sat down with the Dogcast to give an inside look at the joys and perils of self-developing and self-publishing games on current consoles, as well as insight into what it's like to work at Limited Run. Oh, and we talk about Old Fashioneds...because why not?

This week, special guest Brad "Be Rad" Ward  swings by to help put a little "Boom Chicka-Bow-Wow" into your favorite Beer and Games, Games and Beer podcast with a super-sexy (not really) discussion on some great games to play with your significant (or not-so-significant) other for Valentines Day! I mean, nothing like playing a little co-op Gears of War to get you in the mood, right?!

And if you're the kind that don't care 'bout no stupid lovey-dovey Hallmark holiday, don't you worry! We got you covered. Like, really covered. We talk about a TON of stuff, such as:

- Tattoos!
- The new Shadow of the Colossus Remake on PS4!
- River City Ransom!
- Steamworld Dig 2!
- Ridiculous NES Box Art!
- Wolfenstein 2!
- The legacy of the Suikoden series!

And sooooo much more! 

This week, the Dogcast is joined by special guest and actual, real-life game developer Alex Kleba! Alex is a card-carrying member of the game industry and worked on popular titles including the excellent Fat Princess franchise. We chat about what it's like to work in the industry, work on a popular franchise, crunch, and the hilarious story of how Alex got his job at Fun Bits, the developer of Fat Princess. You don't want to miss it!

We also discuss all the hot scoops and breaking news related to Ninendo's just-announced SNES classic details, we drink a few cold ones reminiscing over the highlights of E3 2017, and a whole bunch o' other stuff, straight-up Dogcast style.

Our spine-chilling journey continues as we follow our god-king Albert Wesker further down the zombie hole.  This episode takes us from the dusty plains of Africa in RE5 before we go all across the globe in RE6.  Then, the story gets very sad as we have to let our Albert take his place on the throne above.

Our lore discussion continues on though as we cover the rest of the series.  We laugh, we cry, and most importantly, we drink.  Ethan Winters might be our new favorite!

This week in Dogcast-land, some serious Post-Partem Depression has set in for one of our hosts. Did he recently give birth? Nah, he did something way more painful: He just slayed the evil Ganon in Zelda: Breath of the Wild and has been looking far and wide for the next game to take on. But what does one play when you've beaten arguably the best game of the year? Great question. Join us on a journey as Tom tries to forget about Zelda's pretty face and attempts to find love with a different game--kind of a weird "rebound relationship" deal. Seriously, I think he has problems.

But actually, that's only a smidgen of this jam-packed episode! There's so much more, we don't even have the space to list all the stuff we talked about!

This week marks not only the PlayStation's 25th birthday but also Sony's 25th year as one of the top dogs in the home console business. And we can't think of a better guest to have on the show than Terry Diebold--the only guy who owns the actual reason Sony became the juggernaut we know today: the Nintendo PlayStation prototype. A super-friend of the Dogcast, Terry talks to us about his recent decision to put the Nintendo PlayStation for sale and what it is like to field offers for the rarest console in known history. And beer. The guy sure likes his beer. But wait! There's more! We also welcome GoCollect founder and CEO Jeff Meyer to the podcasting table! GoCollect also happened to be the main sponsor of this year's PRGE and Jeff sits down to talk with us about how his love for collecting comics spurred the genesis of the company and how GoCollect is now helping video game collectors obtain what they need. Oh, and Jeff tells us the story about how he may have "accidentally" bought one of the most coveted comic books of all time. And find out if we were able to make a deal between Jeff and Terry so Terry can go retire on a nice relaxing beach (with enough room for a podcast studio for his best Dogcast friends, wink wink).

Join the Raw Dogs as we finish discussing the God of War series with a special episode on the 2018 title.  

Kratos, a propane gas salesman in Scandinavia, is often besieged by the idiosyncrasies of society, but finds some serenity in his home life with his wife, some giant lady, and his awkward son Atreus. Adding flavor were Hank's friends, divorcé military barber Mimir, paranoid Sindri (with an obsession with government conspiracy theories), and gibberish-spouting Brok.

However, the community's divisions are soon exacerbated by the priest's deeds while mysterious events befall the small town.

In this episode, we talk Dragon's Dogma and the baffling amount of surprise people still get on micro-transactions. We talk Zelda movies, and patches and updates for games that matter and some that don't.

Our main topic this episode is Canceled Video Games. Turns out studios make mistakes some times and many games that should get released never do. Thankfully though, some of these turkeys never saw the light of day!

Join the Raw Dogs for a Tour of the City of Yharnam, jewel by the sea!

Known for its legendary blood ministration, Yharnam has expanded quite a lot in the past 50 years!  

Seeking an education?  Try Byrgenworth, where Master Willem will gently moan at you and point at a lake!

Visit historic Old Yharnam to see the aftermath of the fire that ravaged the area.  Careful for crazed Powder Keg Hunters and their Gatling Guns however!

Please stay in at night as some foreigners and children and men and women have been going missing and some terrible scourge beasts are viciously mauling everything in sight.  Also alien looking things are showing up?  Is this right?  Maybe you shouldn't come?  Did you say Vicar Amelia was found murdered and she was a giant Jackalope?

Well, whadaya know? Another week, another birthday. This time the Dogcast celebrates that lovable gray little rascal, the Super Nintendo! We crack a couple of delicious adult beverages and sit around the ol' campfire (actually just a couple of microphones on a table) and talk about our top 5 favorite SNES games. There's also a little dab of "Stranger Things" discussion, a smidgen of Street Fighter 5, a pinch of the new Deus Ex: Mankind Divided game, and a sprinkle of leaked PS4 Slim information. And there's birthday cake. Like, a LOT of cake. Seriously.

We also took a trip to Urban Harvest Brewing Company in Milwaukee, WI and give our thoughts on this super-new, super-great nanobrewery.

Oh, and if you're listening on iTunes, please feel free to leave us a review and rating! It will help get Hair of the Dogcast into the eardrums of more listeners around the globe!

Awww, don't cry.  So you weren't able to pre-order an SNES Classic? Yeah, neither were we. Well dry your eyes and cheer up, buddy--the Dogcast has got you covered! In this episode of the Dogcast, Josh and Tom hit the ol' workbench and show you how you can build your very own SNES Classic that's EVEN BETTER than the one that Nintendo is releasing.

And it's so easy, we build it start-to-finish during the podcast, all while drinking delicious, glorious beer.

Also, Josh hit the Vegas strip! We played a bunch of games! We saw movies! And much, much more!

We laugh! We drink beer! You will too**!

**As long as you're of legal drinking-age for the "drinking beer" part. Laughing is fine.

No matter if you're an Assassin or a Templar, the Dogcast invites you to join us on this truly epic episode as we attempt to cover Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series! Thankfully, we're also joined by special guest, fellow podcaster, and true Assassin's Creed uber-fan: Dylan from the excellently hilarious "Better in 3D" movie podcast. We're hoping the beer helps us finally understand just wtf is going on in these games.

So sit tight and engage your Eagle Vision, as we discuss everything from the first Assassin's Creed to the most-recent Assassin's Creed: Odyssey...and everything in between. Maybe we even talk about Michael Fassbender. Maybe.

Also, we jib the jab about a little bit of Bloodstained, Mario Maker 2, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Have you ever played a game that you hoped would be good, but was even better than you had expected? Or played a gae that didn't quite live up to your own hype levels? Hey, we've all been there--and this week the Dogcast is here to talk about it! Join Brad and Tom as they discuss a whole bunch of games throughout their gaming history that either pleasantly surpassed their expectations or unfortunately fell a bit (or a lot) short. Even some of the beer imbibed on this episode surprised us! So come on in and let's get to chattin'!

That's it. We just can't hold it in anymore, so it's confession time: We STILL have a crush on that purple-gray little console from the 90's: The Super Nintendo. We've wanted to tell you for awhile, but it's just been so hard, you know? Especially with all these fancy new-fangled next-gen consoles prancing around like they're Miyamotos gift to pixels. Sure, the SNES may be a bit yellowed since the old days and the eject button may not have the same spring it once had, but even after all these years we just can't quit you!  (Cue sappy Peter Gabriel music).

This week, we invite you to come along with the Dogcast on a deeper dive of our favorite Super Nintendo games and also a bunch of hidden gems that may not have exactly gotten the attention they deserved back in their prime, but should not be missed! And also a couple games you should avoid like a rusty nail sticking out of a park bench. 

We also drink some excellent beers on this episode, including the incredible "Smells Like Bean Spirit" by Mikerphone Brewing and the "Ruthie Golden Lager" from Exile Brewing, provided by our pals over at Gaming off The Grid. Make sure to check out their awesomely-hilarious, Dogcast-approved YouTube channel!

Well, hello there you sexy Dogcast listener, you. It's not Valentines Day anymore, but damn, you look good. Why don't you stay awhile. You know why?

Because, this episode is so chock-full of Josh and Tom's favorite-ist games of the last few weeks, you're going to need another set of ears just to handle it all!

Hear us talk about Sega's completely bonkers 80's Japanese gangster simulator: Yakuza 0.

Find out if even just talking about a Marvel Vs. Capcom game is enough to induce seizures.

Oh, and get a healthy dose of some movie talk! Stuff like John Wick 2, Lego Batman, Split, and, um, Power Rangers?! Yeahhhh...did we say that out loud?

All this and your weekly news roundup are waiting for you right here, baby. So grab yourself a nice beer, and come on in.

Whew! You know, we always thought summer was supposed to be a chill, happy time of the year.  A time to lie back, crack open a tasty brew and enjoy the calm before the super-craziness of the fall.  But these are strange times indeed and the world of video games has been rocked by a big bunch o' bombshell headlines this past week! 

Apple and Google have yanked Fortnite from their app stores--and Epic Games has filed a potentially industry-changing lawsuit in turn.  But is Epic doing the right thing and should we care?  It's a real "David and Goliath" story of how one "tiny" multi-billion dollar company is trying to go after the trillion dollar "big guys".  Strap in kids, it's a real whopper of a tale and The Dogcast is here to talk all about it.  Oh, and did we mention Microsoft delayed Halo: Infinite indefinitely?  Yeah, that happened.  And that's not even all that happened!

And on top of THAT, we are excited to be joined this week by not one, but TWO of our favorite guest-hosts in the whole Dogcast world: Executive producers Allyson Smith and Kate Kante!  And we go places.

Also on this episode:

- Hear the musings of the last person on earth (Tom) to finally watch all the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

- Wes Anderson's Bioshock 4?!

- Okami gets revisited.

- Someone may have played over 1800 hours of The Sims. 

- The quintessence of Paul Rudd.

- Street Fighter loses a producer.

- Serial Killers vs. Crimes of Passion.  The debate rages on.

- Tsushima is the Ghostest with the Mostest.

And much more!

So you found a bag of powder on the ground. This moment happens at every music festival but not every bag of powder is drugs, some of it is actually the spirit ashes of the Misbegotten.

On this episode, we start talking about Spirit Ashes, an aspect of Elden Ring that is either beloved or absolutely despised. Either way, they are a part of our game and we are going to break down why you shouldn't snort them!

We are also joined by special guest Laura Beilinski, who has played more video games than all of us combined. Today she joins the Dogcast crew for a fun discussion about the epic Red Dead Redemption 2, her love of Legend of Zelda games, and how beer is pretty much the best thing ever.

We also get the skinny on Kingdom Hearts 3, the Resident Evil 2 remake, new TMNT arcade games, virtual horse poop, and tons more! Seriously. This one is Jam. Packed.

So crack open that delicious brew you've been saving for just this occasion and let's get to it!  Cheers!

***BREAKING NEWS***: Hair of the Dogcast will be at the 2017 Midwest Gaming Classic on April 8th and 9th in Brookfield, WI! We'll be livecasting, hanging out, playing games, and a whole bunch of other fun stuff, so stop by our booth and hang out with us!!!

Join us in this very special episode in which the Dogcast boys discuss their history with the Call of Duty games, including the recently alleged leaks about the next game!  Are we excited?  Are we totally meh on the whole shebang?  Do we even know what Call of Duty is (hint: it might be a Nicholas Sparks novel)?!

The Dogcast is heading into the games! What would happen if Dylan had a job in Death Stranding? Could Tyler survive The Witcher? and Will Brad save the President's daughter?

We also cover all of the big announcements from GamesCom and the Nintendo Direct. Lots of talk on Black Myth Wukong, Concord, and Harrison Ford.

Fun Fact: just 2 days after recording.  Concord was announced as getting shutdown.  Impossible to keep up to date with the disappointment of that game!

One of the most prolific and respected voices in games collecting and preservation, John Hancock is recognized the world over as a foremost expert in the field. John's willingness and generosity to share his knowledge and stories with the gaming community--whether through his popular YouTube channel, numerous convention appearances, this very interview with your friendly neighborhood Dogcast (just to name a few)--has garnered him a reputation that truly is "Immortal".

Since embarking on his collecting journey, John has currently amassed an incredible 31 complete game sets--incuding a complete Sega Genesis game collection which was on display at Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Speaking of, John also happens to be one of the founders of PRGE, along with being a chief contributor to the Cowlitz Gamers for Kids--a convention focused on raising money for the ARC of Cowlitz county, WA to assist invdividuals with special needs. If that's not enough for you--the man also knows his beer and football.

So we were thrilled to sit down with John and discuss everything from the item that began his game collection, to future plans of games preservation, to the Philadelphia Eagles. And much, much more.

Ah, game endings. Some are great, some are good...and well, let's just say some don't fall into any of those categories. Heck, some are just a bunch of credits. But don't you worry, on this episode The Dogcast is here in full force to discuss and take you through our favorite game endings of all time! And because life is sometimes cruel and requires balance, we "yin" our game-ending "yang" by also talking about game endings we were most disappointed by! And of course, there will be some spoilers.

Oh, and we also partook in a bunch of really good beers by Eagle Park and Hop Butcher which also met an extremely delicious end.  Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.

It's Halloween, so things are getting all sorts of spoooooky in the Dogcast lounge. Due to an inter-dimensional rift in the time-space continuum (and a couple really bad wigs), our usual hosts have disappeared and this episode of the Dogcast is hosted by Fat Thor, Ken, Satan/Masuda, and some jerk-bro named Chet. Oh, and everybody welcome the newest addition to the Dogcast family: Dylan, our new co-host!

Come in if you dare and listen as we recap our trip out west to attend Portland Retro Gaming Expo (PRGE). Spoilers: It was GREAT. Lots of fun stories, some of which may contain Billy Mitchell, a phone, and hot sauce. After that big ol' pumpkin of hilarity, join us as we talk about some of our favorite spoooooky games that have haunted us (in a good way) through our personal gaming stories. Finally, stay tuned for a brief preview of some fun new shows coming to Hair of the Dogcast!

We also drink a bunch of great brews and find time to give our impressions of a couple new game releases: The Outer Worlds by Obisidan and Astral Chain by Platinum games.

Ethan Winters is back!  Despite losing limb after limb and Chris thinking is just generally out of his element, he is going to save his daughter and be confused about it the entire time!

The Raw Dogs have a bit of a gush fest on this game.  Not perfect by any means, but golly it is pretty fun!  Just wish it had Wesker!

It's an EPIC battle for supremacy on The Dogcast! On this episode we engage in the greatest debate in the history of the galaxy to finally determine once-and-for-all which 90's shlock-tastic video-game movie is the best: Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter!

It's all here: Jean Claude Van Damme vs. The Guy from Highlander.  Outworld vs. Pax Bisonica. MORRRRTALLL KOMMMMBAAATT!!!! VS. some MC Hammer song. Will we be yelling Flawless Victory or celebrating a perfectly-executed Hadouken? Find out inside!

And to emcee the festivities, we're joined by special guest-moderator Matt Grennier from the Better in 3D podcast! Matt brings his movie expertise and quick wit to ensure no Dogcaster was physically hurt (too badly) during the brawl!  The emotional scars, however....they may never heal.

Also on the podcast:
Microsoft's next-gen stumble!
New Assassin's Creed!
Next gen games announced!
The Switch hits a milestone...
But is the Nintendo ship is leaking?!
Streets of Rage 4!
Mortal Kombat meets Robocop!

LIVE from Midwest Gaming Classic 2021!

The Dogcast is joined by 3 fantastic creators of modern NES games through the power of NESmaker!

First, we have Artix Entertainment.  Adam has been busy making games for the past 20 years but making an NES game is his newest adventure.  Dungeons & Doomknights is awesome!

Next, we have Gilbert from GV Gaming.  Prompted by a 1/3 life crisis, Gilbert pursued his dream of making a story he wrote when he was a kid called, "Hazard - Let Us Out"!

Finally, we are joined by local rockstar, Jordan Davis aka Raftronaut.  Starting from adapting his band's album into chiptunes, he went down the rabbit hole and decided the only logical thing to do was create an NES game!

Video Interviews are available on our YouTube channel!

This episode was recorded Live at Midwest Gaming Classic 2021 at The Bonus Stage.

This week is all about Star Wars, younglings! Climb aboard the Dogcast as we discuss some of our favorite Star Wars memories from the games, the movies, the toys, and everything else that George Lucas stuck the Star Wars license on! Everything from Empire Strikes back on the Atari 2600, to The Knights of the Old Republic series, to the beautiful batsh*ttery of Kinect Star Wars, all the way to the yet-to-be-relased Jedi: Fallen Order!

Speaking of, did you know that one of your Dogcast hosts met George Lucas? Me-sa not lying, as you'll find out all about it on this episode.

As an added bonus, we drink some pretty amazing Belgium beers on this episode--including Westvletren 12, considered to be one of the best beers in the galaxy!

So what you waiting for?!  It'll be more fun than you can swing a dual-bladed light saber at!

Praetor Rykard had some good ideas.  Let's try Volcano magic.  Maybe the Golden Order is corrupt.  His decision to let a snake eat him though, that might be questionable.

The Elden Dogs are joined by the fantastic Jack Packard for this episode.  You might recognize him from Red Letter Media and Escapist Magazine.  

A very fun discussion about a great many things!  Join us and let us stop the Golden Order!

Raya Lucaria is a fantastic school of learned sorcerers where you can better yourself and expand your knowledge of the stars.  At least it was until the students locked up their headmaster and threw a nonstop rager!  These students are out of control hanging out with pots and abductor virgins, animating dolls with 4 arms, and summoning comically large stones to send down the stairs.

The Elden Dogs decide to finish their degrees and discuss the relationship problems when your husband leaves your for themself/their sister.  At least you got the dog!

Today, we take a journey to the real world and explore the lives of two of the creators of Elden Ring, Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin.

Miyazaki grew up in a poor family, wasn't allowed to play video games, and did a career change at the age of 29 to become one of the most beloved video game creators of all time.  You might have heard of the Dark Souls games.

Martin also grew up in a poor family but believed he was destined for greater things.  A writer since childhood, he would go on to write many beloved novels like Fevre Dream and A Song of Ice and Fire as well as writing for television with shows like Beauty and the Beast and Game of Thrones.
