The Budget Boys talk about the clay world of 'Just Act Natural' for the Budget Bits season one finale. Marcus returns from his glorious streaming career for his real final episode. Tune in for season two details.

Well, it's been a good run for Marcus, but this is his last ride with Budget Bits. Fret not, though- he's going to explain why in today's episode. In the meantime, Dylan is doom and gloom. Justin learns how to fly and shares how long everyone's played Vampire Survivors. Marcus is in utter shock while behaving like a good co-host for once. Tyler can't stop talking about how much he loves Vampire Survivors.

Pogostuck: Rage With Your Friends brought a lot out of the Budget Bois. Whether it's for better or worse we'll let you decide. Justin does a monologue, Lakes talks about ducks, Marcus has to censor himself, and Tyler's stuck using his left hand.

Part 2: Justin gets all the pitches from the Budget Bois.

We love you. MWAH.

We can sit here and explain the episode title, but the episode itself will do that. Dylan has a nice death. Justin geeks out to a natural phenomenon. Marcus has no friends. Tyler takes matters into his own hand with some difficult pitches to judge over.

Part 1: The Budget Bois rate and review Tyler's revised game-winning submission, "Dungeon Defenders 2".
Part 2: Dylan, Justin, and Marcus pitch games to Tyler for judging.

We think you're awesome. You'd be even more awesome if you visited our website: www.budgetbitspodcast.com.

And we love you. MWAH.

So, we're going to be upfront and apologize for what you're about to hear from Marcus. You'll know what we mean- trust us. Him aside, Lakes can hear all sorts of things from across the ocean. Justin makes A LOT of games. Tyler introduces a new segue sound bite that Justin falls in love with.

Part 1: The Budget Bois rate and review Marcus's game-winning submission, BattleBlock Theater.

Part 2: Everyone that's not Marcus pitches games for judging (because Marcus is the judge and wants you all to know that).

Check out our website: www.budgetbitspodcast.com

We love you, and we're thankful that you listen to us. MWAH.  

So, good news and bad news. Bad news: We weren't able to record a new episode for this week. Good news: Marcus is episode dropping his interview with Justin Fox, the creator of the satirical mini-game, "Black Simulator". Even more good news: We love and miss you. MWAH.

You ever try a family-sized Lil Wayne bar? They satisfy our hunger in ways that other candy bars don't. That aside, Justin uses fan-engagement strategies to get everyone's attention. Lakes cannot wait to talk about Justin's game-winning submission. Tyler claims that his procrastination helps guide our discussions. Marcus tries to break copyright laws and is just a silly son of a bee.

Part 1: Ratings and reviews of Justin's game-winning submission, "One Shot".
Part 2: Lakes, Marcus, and Tyler pitch games to Justin for judging.
Part 3: "One Shot" spoilers which begin at 56:10.

What kind of fridge do you have? Do you have that big fridge money like the Budget Bois do? Whatever the case may be, Justin is laying down in cheesecake dirt. Lakes spoils the show. Marcus continues to get roasted over his relationship status. Tyler talks about being a crunt- whatever that means.

Needless to say, today's episode has a lot of big fridge money and energy.

Part 1: Ratings and reviews of Tyler's game-winning submission, "Guild of Ascension".
Part 2: Justin, Lakes, and Marcus pitch games to Tyler for judging.

"Guild of Ascension" spoilers from 28:45-31:18.

We love you. MWAH.

Do you remember when Lakes talked about how weird it is eating cereal when you put the milk in first? Do you remember when Justin sounded like a bumblebee during his pitch? Do you also remember when Marcus got roasted for his relationship status? Could you even remember when Tyler's microphone picked up much more than we all anticipated? Ah, such good times.

Part 1: Individual ratings and reviews of Lakes' game-winning submission, Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right.
Part 2: Justin, Marcus, and Tyler pitch games to Lakes for judging.

Can someone remind us not to take a month-long break in between recording episodes? We know that the Budget Bois get wild and rowdy, but this first episode of the new year goes a step above and beyond our usual shenanigans. Between Justin's new, crispy microphone and segment, Tyler work-shopping the name to his segment, Marcus being Marcus, and having our Banana Boi, Dylan, rejoin us, and talking WAY too much about Manwich, this "comeback" episode will be one to remember.

Part 1: Ratings and reviews of Tyler's game-winning submission, "Escape Simulator".
Part 2: Dylan, Justin, and Marcus pitch games to Tyler for judging.

Have you visited our website yet?! www.budgetbitspodcast.com

We love you. MWUA.

We can guarantee without a shadow of a doubt that today's episode will be our trashiest one yet. Why? In our Banana Boy's absence, we're joined by guest host, the "Trash Man" himself, Casey! Casey gives us our best intro segment yet, Justin puts Lakes' co-host job on the line, Marcus gives us another bomb diggity pitch, and Tyler introduces his new segment. 

Part 1: Individual ratings and reviews of Justin's game-winning submission of "Voidigo".
Part 2: Casey, Marcus, and Tyler submit games to Justin for judging.

MWUA.

Where do we even start with this episode? Justin's feelings on furries? The reading of a review from Tyler's pitch? Marcus's absolute bomb of a pitch that Lakes loved? Lakes' love for his own game submission? We aren't entirely sure, but you can be sure that there's a lot of talk about upright, bipedal animals.

Part 1: Individual ratings and reviews of Dylan's game-winning submission, "Dust: An Elysian Tail".
Part 2: Justin, Marcus, and Tyler pitch games to Dylan for judging.

Well, friends, it's been a really good run. Today's episode is without a doubt our diciest one yet, which could very well be our last. Why, you might ask? We shamelessly plug our NEW website (www.budgetbitspodcast.com) multiple times. Lady Luck was definitely with our Budget Bits Bracket Brawl winner, "Dicey Dungeons," which we take some time to review. Dylan, Justin, and Tyler not only break Marcus, but they also break many other boundaries that are worth listening to. All-in-all, we just ignant.

Part 1: "Dicey Dungeons" review.
Part 2: Dylan, Justin, and Tyler make their pitches to Marcus for judging.

Imagine exploring the endless beauty and majesty of the galaxy with your faithful, fearless crew. Along the way, your ship's hull is damaged and on the verge of being destroyed. Will you be able to repair the hull to the best of your ability? Will your hull make it the rest of the your exploration? The Budget Boys can't really say too much because their hulls got annihilated.

We decided to hold the pizza on this one because our local pizza guy, Justin, was away during our recording. So, Dylan, Marcus, and Tyler do some catching up on the games they're playing and how life's treating them. There's also an abundance of Kingdom Hearts references, which we're not sorry about.

Looking at the episode title and knowing that we recently played the survival co-op horror game, "Devour," you could probably guess which co-host this autobiography is about. Speaking of "Devour," we spend a great deal of this episode talking about the wonderful experience that three-fourths of the crew had playing this game. Because it's fall-time, we think you should grab a nice cup of coffee or tea, snuggle up under a blanket, and get cozy with today's episode.

Buddy Beater (Episode 17)

Listen, y'all. There's so much that happened in this episode, and we have no idea how to accurately describe it. Between Dylan and Tyler bringing in new things to our segments, Justin being an MVP, and Marcus being a Debbie Downer and talking about beating buddies, how do you describe the conglomerate that is this episode? The only constant this episode offers is the fact that we continue spiraling downhill, and we're loving every bit of it.

Part 1: Individual ratings and reviews of Tyler's game-winning submission, "Mage Quit".
Part 2: Dylan, Justin, and Marcus make pitches to Tyler for judging.

Whether if you're into furries or not, this episode's got 'em. Well, partly, only because we discuss Gunfire Reborn where there's animals with guns and stuff. We also discuss other things like Marcus's "last hoorah" before he turned 30, Dylan's lovely feet, and Tyler's research on hot and cold showers. Justin also goes down a well ten minutes prior to us recording this episode which we were all impressed by.

Part 1: Individual ratings and reviews of Dylan's game-winning submission, "Gunfire Reborn".

You ever have any regrets in life? Like the kind of regrets that involve bad game mechanics, directionless gameplay, and endless cigarette smoking? Three-fourths of the Budget Bits crew may or may not have had some regret of this caliber. It's OK, though, because Marcus gave the crew a brief Japanese lesson that was fun and awe-inspiring.

Today's episode:
Part 1: Individual ratings and reviews of Marcus's game-winning submission, The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa.
Part 2: Dylan, Justin, and Tyler make their pitches to Marcus for judging.

Y'all, 25 days without recording an episode is too long for us. All of our pent-up energy and excitement of hearing each other's voices came out in a variety of ways. Between singing, talking about props, preaching about Jesus, and all the rockets blasting off, things got really out of hand. We'd say we're sorry, but we're really not. The only two things you need to know is the following: (1) This is Tyler's episode and show; (2) Skip Marcus's part entirely. MWUA.

Part one: We discuss and review Tyler's game-winning submission of "Peek-A-Boo".
Part two: Dylan, Justin, and Marcus pitch games to Tyler for judging.

Don't let the episode title fool you. Between figuring out online servers, losing our ever-loving minds, and salty bananas, this recording was a much-needed therapy session for us. Did we make it out OK, though? You can be the judge of that.

By the way, what did you have for dinner?

Speaking of therapy, we hope you find today's episode somewhat therapeutic... in that it makes you laugh!

Folks, this episode got us good. It's by far the realest we've ever gotten, but only for so long. We got in our feelings (quack). We blinked a lot (quack). We continued to make the weirdest and most awkward segues (QUACK). And we had fun while doing it (QUACK QUACK).

SPEAKING OF fun, we had a great deal of fun recording this episode. We think you'll enjoy listening to it!

Part 1: The Budget Bits crew rates and reviews Marcus' game-winning submission of "Before Your Eyes".

We've made it, y'all. Well, actually, YOU made it. You've made it to the tenth installment of Budget Bits! What better reward could you get than the entire Budget Bits crew gathering together and recording in-person? Maybe it's a punishment instead of a reward- we're not entirely sure ourselves. We'll just edit whatever you say in post. SHEESH!

Along with our in-person recording, did we also mention that we videotaped our opening bit? We're currently working on getting a YouTube channel up so stay tuned for this bit and many other things!

In today's episode, the crew rates and reviews their playthrough of the survival-horror game, Labyrinthine. Dylan, Justin, and Marcus also pitch several party games to Tyler for judging!

Have you ever had Mrs. Duffles' famous tortellini? You should grab yourself a plate while the Budget Bits crew goes in on their playthrough of "The Slormancer". If you happen to notice some extra "slormy" stuff on your pasta, don't worry. We're still in the early access phase of whether we should keep the slorm around.

Today's episode is broken down into two different parts. Part one will consist of an extra generous helping of everyone's individual rating and review of "The Slormancer". Part two will include a hearty bowl of submissions from Dylan, Marcus, and Tyler that Justin taste tests and picks from.

We're starting to notice a trend. In the last episode, we had a very pizza-centric theme with two of the three game pitches. In today's episode, we're feeling pretty rogue-like. In fact, we're feeling SO rogue-like that we bet you'll end up saying, "Say no more! I think I got the picture, guys." We could be wrong, though.

Today's episode is broken down into three parts:
Part 1- The Budget Bits crew rates and reviews "Everhood".
Part 2- Dylan, Marcus, and Tyler make their pitches to Justin for judging.
Part 3- The crew dives into Everhood spoilers.

Justin also makes a hard flex being a Guitar Hero pro (He says that he isn't, but he totally is).

The episode title has nothing to do with the Budget Bits crew's discussion on their playthrough of the horror game 'Pacify,' but you'll understand why we're all about the zaa in due time. In the meantime, let's talk about spooks and dunking- specifically on Marcus. We had a spooky ol' time playing through the jumpscares that Pacify offered, but it probably would have been WAY scarier if Marcus didn't yell out what we had to do.

All this aside, today's episode is broken down into three separate parts! In part one, we recap and rate our experience with Pacify. In part two, Dylan, Marcus, and Tyler make their game submissions and pitches to Justin for judging. Lastly, in part three, we discuss Pacify spoilers.

Did we also mention that Justin REALLY loves pizza?

Can we paint a scenario for you? It's Halloween night. You're with your friends in your favorite costume- candy bucket in hand, excitement in your heart, and glee in your eyes at the sweet delights you're about to consume. You hit your first house and you get your favorite candy. Same thing happens at the next house. And the next. You're biting at the bit for what's next.

You get to your fourth house, still excited and hopeful for the savory treats that await your bucket which is already overflowing with goodness. You hold your bucket out, only for it to be filled with black licorice. You feel offended. You're filled with rage. You feel nothing but disdain and disrespect toward the individual who tainted your bucket with the foul piece of "candy". You are crying and asking God why this abomination was created in the first part.

Halloween night is ruined because of this one blasphemous piece of candy. Maybe all of this is an exaggeration, but we had a similar experience like this with Costume Quest 2. Nonetheless, we still have some other treats in store- including Tyler judging Dylan, Justin, and Marcus' game submissions with their usual goofs!

Editor’s Note: We apologize for the echoing in the audio itself. This didn’t appear in the editing phase of the episode but somehow did in post-production.

It's been a hot minute since our last recording, but we're sad to say that there is no episode 4 today. There is no discussion on "There is No Game," nor any new submissions pitched to Dylan for judging. Nope, not at all. Did we also mention there's absolutely no salt from one particular host? Sorry, y'all. We'll try thinking out of the box more.

Apparently, we all decided to open the episode with flossing, but Tyler went vintage with the ol' "towel floss between the legs". We also decided that our experience with Heave Ho was one to remember, and so were the submissions that Dylan, Marcus, and Tyler made to Justin. Speaking of floss, can it clean up loads of salt? Because there was a lot of that in this episode.

The title has nothing to do with what you're about to listen to, but Dylan declared that this is the episode's title (There's context, we promise). However, now that we think about it, you'll get a lot of "gains" from the three parts that the episode's broken into.
Part 1: Discussion on Dylan's game-winning submission of "Katana Zero".
Part 2: Tyler, Justin, and Marcus make their game pitches to Dylan.
Part 3: "Katana Zero" spoilers!
