Watch Out For Fireballs!

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross learn the true name of Shadowrun (SNES). You’re Jake Armitage, but you don’t know that. You wake up dead in a city crawling with people who want you to be even deader. You point and click and shoot your way to answers about who you are, and who killed you. This is a weird, weird game, but we kind of liked it.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross offer glowing praise for the last half of Fallout. Your vault has water. Hooray! Now you just have to deal with the big green dudes.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross radiate praise for the first half of Fallout. Great games. Great games never change…es. Continuing our infatuation with CRPGs, we delve into Gary’s favorite game of all time. This is a two-parter, so we cover everything up to the Water Merchants. Does it hold up? Yeop.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross engage in a protracted codec conversation expositionizing about Metal Gear Solid. You’re Solid Snake. Your twin brother is threatening the world with an unprecedented nuclear walking battle tank made of existing technology. It’s up to you, your codec radio, and hours of cut scenes to save the world as we know it. This game is an utter treat, and it’s understandable that it has such a huge influence over basically everything that follows it.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross give Tomba! a stone age beatdown. Evil Pigs have taken your grandpa’s watch and cast a curse over the entire world. It’s your job to… Wait, I can’t do this. To treat it seriously would be lying to you. Tomba! is a fondly remembered 2.5D platformer, but WOFF! hated it. Aside from our shared fondness for exclamation marks, there’s nothing to recommend Tomba!. Disagree? Listen, and hear our arguments. LINKS OF NOTE: Tomba! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomba!

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross grab the sticks and get to the bottom of why arcades are the best. This episode is in the same vein as Episode 30. Recorded in person, both in-studio and in the field, Gary and Kole talk about arcade experiences in their entirety… from their smoky childhoods to their current-day selves exploring the arcade revival taking place in Portland, Oregon. Special thanks goes out to Ground Kontrol, the best goddamned arcade in Portland.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and the attendees of the Portland Retro Games Expo talk about Super Mario World. This episode is a bit of a different beast than our previous outings. Normally we play a game, then talk about it, and pepper in your thoughts. For this, we set up a booth at the Portland Retro Games Expo with a CRT TV and an SNES with Super Mario World. We invited anyone who passed to beat a level, then offer their thoughts. The result is an hour of avant garde guerilla podcasting, where people gush about the best Mario game of all time.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross investigate Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. It’s no secret: We love adventure games. And we’ve done a lot of them recently. However, we’ve never done a Sierra adventure game, of which Gabriel Knight is probably the best. Funky accents aside, it’s got great dialogue, clever puzzles, and explores a subject that’s been mostly ignored by games: Voodoo.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Ron Gilbert achieve critical mass regarding Maniac Mansion. In a first for the show, WOFF! has the creator of a game in to talk about it. Maniac Mansion was foundational for both Gary and Kole, and it was a huge honor to have Ron Gilbert onto the show. If you haven’t played Maniac Mansion, shame on you. It’s an amazing point-and-click adventure game that formed the basis of pretty much everything that followed it. This is an unconventional episode, but we really hope you enjoy it.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross put their spirits into robots in order to gush about the end of EarthBound.
