Mini Episodes: (Shado)Spartan vs. Pirate(Software)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2500447/fan_mail/new] A Spartan Takes on a Pirate! This week’s mini episode features co-host ShadoSpartan’s take on the rise and fall of one of his former favorite online personalities, PirateSoftware. So why devote an entire mini episode to the “Roach”? Roaches can survive anything. They adapt, they outlast, they get their dad at Blizzard to land them a job, lay off their moderators, side with billion-dollar corporations at every turn, never hold themselves accountable when they’re obviously wrong, and ban ShadoSpartan from chat just for saying hello.  Mini episode theme by ShadoSpartan, whose album is available at:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/1ZCnmT7zKYdVQ8lPuO3oVE?si=MMXMPLWeTJaXF6j9QRy2Iw [https://open.spotify.com/artist/1ZCnmT7zKYdVQ8lPuO3oVE?si=MMXMPLWeTJaXF6j9QRy2Iw] ShadoSpartan's YouTube Game Retrospectives can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/@ShadoSpartan44 Follow Time Pals wherever you get your podcasts. #PirateSoftware #GameDev #WoW #StopKillingGames #MaydayMediaNetwork #ShadoSpartan #Roach #Kronos #TimePalsPodcast Legendary Supplements [https://legendarysupps.com/] Welcome to Legendary Supplements, where gaming greatness meets unparalleled performance.

Mar10 Day: Time Pals Off Console Chaos!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2500447/fan_mail/new] It’s MAR10 Day and Time Pals chose chaos! This week, co-hosts Jon Powell and Mike Underscore promise zero level breakdowns, not a single discussion about gameplay mechanics, and absolutely no tier lists. Instead, we’re celebrating everything but the games — from Super Mario Cheez-Whiz cans and the official Nintendo console sewing kit to Luigi’s rampage at the Super Mario Ice Capades and the legend of the Super Hornio Brothers adult movies. We even found a rare example of when “The Simpsons Didn’t Do It” first! It’s Off-Console Chaos, and it’s-a not what you expect. — Research and References —  Super Mario Ice Capades: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZyJVZGqAhQ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZyJVZGqAhQ] King Koopa’s Kool Kartoons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuqH1d1IZLY [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuqH1d1IZLY] Super Mario Super Show: https://www.mariowiki.com/Milli_Vanilli [https://www.mariowiki.com/Milli_Vanilli] Something Awful: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3676585 [https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3676585] Theme Song performed & produced by Sterling Sound Shop Productions (San Francisco)  Need music production in the Bay Area?

Jon's Genre Smash: Bad Games from Good Developers

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2500447/fan_mail/new] Time Pals co-host Jon Powell spun the roulette wheel and chose chaos. This week, the Time Pals present “Jon’s Genre Smash: Bad Games from Good Developers.” For every legendary studio with wall-to-wall hits… there’s that one game. The one that makes you stare at the screen and whisper, “How?” From a roulette wheel with 30 possible game developers, the Time Pals gambled their sanity on absolute disasters. We’re talking buggy launches, broken mechanics, rage-inducing design, and the kind of choices that make you question everything. We’re looking at the worst games from studios that should have known better — because sometimes even the GOATs drop a steaming pile. The episode is available everywhere you get your podcasts. #BadGames #GameFails #RogueWarrior #Redfall #MDK2 #ApocalypsePS1 #DragonBallEvolution #IkariWarriors #Bethesda #BioWare #Namco #Obsidian #ArkaneStudios #MidwayGames #Neversoft #MaydayMediaNetwork #TimePals #TimePalsPodcast #DadCast #GeekCast Legendary Supplements [https://legendarysupps.com/] Welcome to Legendary Supplements, where gaming greatness meets unparalleled performance.
