**Abject Suffering**

This is a podcast that’s nominally about bad games. In reality, it’s about the horror of daily life, GameFAQs Gold, strange combatants in the battle of Good vs. Evil, and a singular patriarch known only as Crick. Every Monday, Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross choose a game at random from the titles submitted by listeners, play it, and venture off on a freeform discussion that winds between the topic at hand, and the absurd.

Show notes

Did they think we wouldn't notice? They take this incomprehensible Z-tier superhero and group him in with everyone's favorite rascally tycoon... Despicable. The first half of this episode is business as usual. After the music, we talk about Captain America: Civil War at length. The dividing line for spoilers is clearly marked.
