Ep. 60 - Empire Earth
After a small hiatus, the Spindash hosts return with one of John's picks. It was a rocky start, Nick's internet died yet again, and no one was enthused about the game, but everyone soldiered on.

Ep. 59 - Final Fantasy X
Much to John's frustration, the Spindash hosts continue "The Year of the Weeb" with Final Fantasy X for the PS2. In an act of defiance, John calls it a quits after leaving Zanarkand. Nick and Matt, the ever faithful guardians, continue their pilgrimage.

Ep. 58 - Fist of the North Star
The Spindash hosts fully embrace The Year of the Weeb by playing Fist of the North Star for the NES. The hosts discuss the game as well as the movies, and then in classic Spindash fashion, Nick's internet dies. True to the meme, it was "already dead."

To our faithful listeners: give up on MGS, it is never happening. We're stringing you along and it's just not healthy...Don't let that get you down though, this week the Spindash hosts tackle one of Matt's childhood favorites, Ninja Gaiden for the NES (that's Ninja GUY-DEN for those in the back). Along the way, John attempts to feign modesty over a pickup bumper crop, the highlight of his year. Nick's internet then proceeds to die more frequently than we did playing this game - it's not Spindash if it isn't plagued with technical difficulties.

Ep. 29 - Mother 3 (Part 1)
No stranger to rejection, John is stood up by potential guest host Terry Crews in this week's look at Mother 3 for the Game Boy Advance. Along the way, Nick makes a strong case for why Fassad is the hero of the game as he loves both Happy Boxes and money (that said, Nick can't be bothered to click through the story). An adventure this long (and this strange) can only be handled in two parts. Join us for chapters 1 through 4.

Ep. 26 - Super Metroid
The Spindash hosts take a painful stroll through Lower Norfair (without the Varia suit equipped) in this week's game, Super Metroid. Like the game itself, the hosts are forced to backtrack and reexplore things numerous times as screaming children and persistent mic issues arise like the giant Kraid from a pit of spikes. Luckily the reserve tanks were full, and with some clever editing and help from an organic super-computer, the show goes on.
