Backlog Busters 8 (Don't Hit Refresh)

Join us this month for a full proper non pre-recorded episode of the Backlog Busters. We're still making E3 jokes and we talk about adding games instead of beating them. Turkey played Golf and grrouchie shoveled knights but most importantly we officially Adopted BenjiCong https://twitter.com/benjicong and he talks about his new favorite genre of game. What is on deck for September for the guys and what games have they recently picked up? We are taking applications for future adoptions, feel free to reach out to us if you need a new home!

Backlog Busters 7 (Frankenstein's Monster)

This month the guys fail at recording a podcast and then fail at trying to piece it back together. Is anything going to be audible? Are their segments? How cohesive does it all sound? We also introduce a new segment "Adopt a backlogger" and Skinny Matt https://twitter.com/skinnymattk is our first adoptee. Please forgive us, this is the best we could do :)

Backlog Busters 4 (OxenLink to the Past)

Join us this week to find out if the Turkey thinks that one of the all time classics holds up to its hype and as the grrouch plays another game that is all story and no gameplay. There will also be discussion on babies and termites but sadly the guys didn't delve into termite babies. What is a future log? What is a backlog builder (hint, it's not a new IP coming to switch) and how did Adam Leonhardt get a segment named after him?  Thank you to all our Backloggers who help make this show possible!!!

Backlog Busters 3 (A Night in Sin and Punishment)

Did the grrouch and the turkey finish their games?  What does serge think about his first ever walking simulator?  Was it a stimulating simulation or were those boots made for walking on out of there?

How about the Turkey?  Were his sins punished appropriately?  Did he get his waggle on?  Was the waggle the punishment and was the WiiU the Sin?

Also listen for conversations involving a Future Log and what did the Podfather ask that generated a discussion?

Special shout-outs to @theninformant for Feeding Serge in Pennsylvania, @fluxtaposed for exchanging beer with serge and @skinnymattK who might never sleep again thanks to his new family addition!
