With the Chompcast, we aim to deliver an insightful and unique perspective on gaming as we talk about our experiences with the games we play, recent gaming news that most affects our interests, and philosophical issues encompassing everything that involves video gaming.
This week we talk about which games from the 90s get more love than they deserve. They aren’t terrible, but mom’s favorite is clear, and we all chipped in on that gift anyway, so it’s not like her disdain for the rest of us is remotely valid.
After that we talk about what we’ve been playing this week: Resident Evil Village: Winters Expansion, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Infernax, Marvel Snap, and Cyberpunk 2077.
This week the last rounds are fired in the Genesis SNES console war.
The soldiers are wheeled out onto the field by their caretakers, and they look around confused. All is quiet until, after their nap, the Genesisians notice a Mario blanket over the cold legs of a nodding SNESite. An insult is hurled, marking the beginning of the final battle.
After their second nap the fighting continues:
“You think Sonic goes fast? That’s nothing compared to your kids on visitation day.”
“Mario’s moustache looks better on your mother.”
Bodies slumped over and contorted in pain, the fighting ends. Glassy eyes reflecting the clouds as they pass silently overhead—never again to gaze upon the pixels they fought for.
The nurses wheel them back in.
