Ep 80: Don’t Starve: The Anal People Correlation
Monday Aug 21, 2023
Monday Aug 21, 2023
Hope you didn't starve while waiting for this episode to satiate your ravenous hunger for our dulcet tones! We're back and ready to chat all about Klei Entertainment's Don't Starve that came out originally in 2013. It's an oldie but a goodie in this month's game, and we're joined by none other than the delightful Gabi Kirilloff to walk us through all the good and the not-as-good aspects of the game.
After some chitchat nonsense the gang gets into the history of the game and development before getting deep into the gameplay (26:30). After that they play an problematic round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (56:00), then they hit up the Recommendation Station (1:05:40), then mess up talking about next month's game (1:17:00). Hope you enjoy the ep!
And thanks again to Gabi Kirilloff for joining us on the pod and doing pretty much all of our research as well!

Ep 79: Season: A Letter to the Future - Let Us Be Remembered
Monday Jul 10, 2023
Monday Jul 10, 2023
Another month sans Corrigan, but the Helms Bros are back at it again with a blast from the...recently released games: Season: A Letter to the Future. A laid-back adventure game with an ethereal aesthetic that is best when you're not rushing through things, Season was a joy to play. Sit down on a sacred square of earth and listen as we recap our favorite moments together...
After the shenanigans, the boys talk about some of the controversy of the game and Scavengers Studios as a whole (7:30) then get into the majority of the conversation which centers around the gameplay (13:15). Then they play a yummy round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (54:00), visit the Recommendation Station (59:30), then finish things off talking about next month's game. Enjoy!

Heeee's baaaack! Not only are we joined by our old FMOLMF Richard Nile, but he's bringing along our old trusty explorer, Indiana Jones as we Crusade across the globe for the Last time on an Adventure of the most tip-top, highest-resolution, most beautifully-colored, most exciting game (for its time) ever made (at the time). Grab your bull whip and fedora, it's time to get a-puzzlin'!
After some introductory tomfoolery, the boys get into the history of the game (11:00) and dive deeeep into the gameplay shortly after (26:00). Then they play a rousing game of WTDWTS (51:00), take a trip to the Recommendation Station (58:00), then chitchat about next month's game (1:16:00). Thanks again to Rich for joining us! Looking forward to the next one...Last Crusade: The Action Game perhaps?

Ep 77: Tunic - You Got Your Stick
Friday Apr 21, 2023
Friday Apr 21, 2023
Hey there Zelda fans, have we got a game for you! We did our MOLMFiest on this one and nailed the perfect Goldilocks between the three hosts: one of us loved it, one of us hated it, and Ben though it was juuuuuuuust...fine. Hope you got a chance to play this gem of a game this month but honestly there aren't a lot of story spoilers here; a few gameplay ones for sure though. Enjoy!
After the usual shenanigans and BS the gang finally gets into the development (6:00) and deeeeep into the gameplay after that (14:15). Of course there's a rousing round of WTDWTS (51:45) and a quick little visit to our old trusty Recommendation Station (1:03:45) and not only next month's game but we outline the next few months worth of games so look forward to that (1:14:45).

Ep 76: Beacon Pines - Like That One Episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Monday Apr 03, 2023
Monday Apr 03, 2023
Aaaaaand we're back! Sorry for the delay there but we have two episodes coming your way this month to make up for it. This one's all about the modern forest fable Beacon Pines. As usual, we all have very different opinions on the game, which is just the hot goss you listen for every month. Hope you enjoy this episode!
Corrigan, Ben, and Jason start out with a lot of nonsense, and by nonsense I mean what Jason's been up to for the past few weeks, then they get into the actual game of Beacon Pines (28:15). After a loooooong gameplay chat they get into a classic round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (1:04:15), take a trip to the ol' Recommendation Station (1:35:30) and that really turns into a whole thing before they finally get into the future landscape of upcoming MOLMF games on the way (2:09:45).
Well that was an epic show. Look forward to our game on Tunic, coming very soon!

Ep 75: Disco Elysium - MEGA HARDCORE!!!!!
Friday Feb 10, 2023
Friday Feb 10, 2023
The gang got together and played Disco Elysium this month and WOW. What a game it was. Corrigan took the month off and subbed in her partner, Kyo Edmoundson, and it was great getting his thoughts on the game. Hope you enjoy this meandering conversation where covered just about everything in this 2-hour episode and it still felt like we barely scratched the surface of this super-detailed and mega-dense game. Enjoy!
We start off with some intros and big idea stuff then finally set up the game and setting (19:40) before getting into the development and more recent company news (29:10). After that we dive deeper into the gameplay with a few spoilers eventually (43:00 ish) before playing a resounding round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (1:24:45). Then we take a visit to the Recommendation Station (1:45:50) and pick next mont's game at the VERY end of the pod.
Whew! What an episode. Thanks again to Kyo for joining us!

Ep 74: Return To Monkey Island - The Best Of Its Kind
Tuesday Dec 20, 2022
Tuesday Dec 20, 2022
It's finally here!! We did it. After years and years, we finally get to go back to our titular flagship and most MOLMFian universe in the latest Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman nostalgiathon: Return To Monkey Island. Enjoy.
Some obligatory shenanigans to start things off then the gang gets into the gameplay (16:15) and eventually get around to WTDWTS (1:02:30). They talk about What Else They've Been Playing...which still needs a musical bump (1:14:45), and visit the Recommendation Station (1:18:15) before peacing out until our HOLIDAY EPISODE. Look forward to that next week!

Side Quest: Soma - Do It In The Dark With the Lights Off
Sunday Nov 27, 2022
Sunday Nov 27, 2022
Our Spookilogy is complete! I know, I know, we're a month past Halloween, that didn't stop us from playing three scary games. This third one is a doozie too! Soma comes to us from the makers of Amnesia and Penumbra, and also comes to us from our good FOLMF Dr. Wendi Sierra noted scholar, game developer, writer, and big ol' fan of Soma. Thanks again for coming on the pod Wendi!
We start off talking big ideas, then get into spoilers after (11:30), then we dive into the lore a bit (43:20), and finally get into the main reason behind everything: Are we living in a simulation? (55:30)
Next month: Return to Monkey Island!!! Okay...actually only a week or so away. Can't wait to talk to the gang about this one b/c it's magnificent. Get on it!

Ep 73: Inscryption - I Earned That OP-ness
Sunday Oct 30, 2022
Sunday Oct 30, 2022
Happy Halloween! Here's the second of three games of our MOLMFoween Spooktacular Trifectathon!!!
But seriously Inscryption is the greatest game ever and yes Ben is writing this and it doesn't matter what Jason and Corri think about Inscryption because it's amazing and one of the best games I've ever played and I can't stop playing it and if they ever stop then they probably didn't even really get it anyway. Whew! What are you still doing here? Go play Inscryption! NOW! IT'S AMAZING!
The gang gets into this crazy creepy card game and stave off spoilers for awhile, but eventually things take a turn for the worse and all of them get eaten by the spoiler monster (28:30). After that the Drinkensong enhabits their corpses and sings a few drunken tunes and they talk about what else has been possessing them as of late (1:09:45), before taking a long and dangerous ride to the Recommendation Station (1:18:00)...then they talk about our next game: SOMA!!! Which will be out very soon. And is also creepy af. Can't wait. Smooches!
