ROWYCO 7 – Pictionary (NES)

Jason Arriola and Dominic Chavez take their first dive into the music of Tim Follin. Tim is a bit of a legend for some of his work with the NES, but we decided to take a look at one of his less-celebrated soundtracks. Pictionary is, admittedly, a bit of a strange place to start, but I think as […]

Multimedia Failure 10 – Samurai Shodown

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero  watched Samurai Shodown for this episode. Somehow, we managed to talk less about this one than the Art of Fighting OVA, and that one was half the length of this. That said, it should be fairly obvious there’s not a lot to love about this one, but we do our damnedest to keep it […]

Multimedia Failure 9 – Art of Fighting

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero  are hunkering down for the first in our gauntlet of anime OVA’s, and this episode is Art of Fighting.

Multimedia Failure 8 – Mortal Kombat

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero are joined by Conor Mahood from The Movie Express to talk about…MORTAL KOMBAT!

Multimedia Failure 7 – Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins

Jason Arriola, Vanessa Cahill, and John Lucero go wwwwaaaayyyyyy down to the absolute depths of the Netherrealm and dig out the movie for this episode. Folks, I don’t think it’s going to get much worse than this. Let’s hope for that anyway. Not sure we take anything worse than this one. Like what you hear? You can support […]

2018 Game of the Year Special

Don’t get too excited, we’re not bringing this thing back. 2018 was a more solid year for games than we thought, so Jason and John decided give the nod to some honorable mentions before we run down our five favorite games of the year. On This Episode – Jason Arriola – John Lucero This Week’s […]

ROWYCO 4 – Shatterhand and Shadow of the Ninja

We go over Shatterhand, developed by Natsume and composed by Iku Mizutani and Hiroyuki Iwatsuki, and Shadow of the Ninja, which was developed by Natsume and composed by Iku Mizutani (notice the common item that got us here?). Both Iku […]
