Game Busters! Podcast

Jess and Nirav are taking a break from video game movies to talk about... a video game TV Show. Luckily, it may just be the best one yet! Nirav is one of the biggest Fallout fans out there, so he's got a lot of anecdotes in this one. This is our spoilercast review and discussion, full of deep lore that you don't know, understand, or care about from the Fallout franchise! Regular show returns next week! Find the podcast and all our social media at our Linktree !

This week we're joined by Ryan Blankenbaker, confirmed gamer, to dive into the first of many Uwe Boll films on our list with House of the Dead! This was a certified good bad movie that we had a blast watching. The fact that it nearly caused Nirav to have an actual seizure is balanced out by the topless SEGA-branded party on a remote island off the northwestern coast. Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell!

We finally begin our journey into Paul W.S. Anderson and Mila Jovovich's thinly veiled sex fantasies put to the big screen! The gang dives in 2002's Resident Evil, and if you can't figure out how long it takes to turn into a zombie, don't worry, we can't either.

Starring Angelina Jolie's taut thighs, a fighting robot that should probably be the one doing the tomb raiding, and an IT guy who lives in the backyard and is NOT allowed in the house, it's 2001's Tomb Raider! We enjoyed this one decently, with fun set pieces and dumb plot devices, and Jolie isn't half bad as Lara Croft. Join us! Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell!

Well, then, I AM ENTEI! RAARRRRR! We were pleasantly surprised with Pokemon the Third Movie: Spell of the Unown, especially when compared to other 2001 animated films and previous video game adaptations. Excellent animation, colors, art direction, and an incredible soundtrack highlight this good enough story about a little girl losing her father. Check it out now! Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell!

You ever been brave enough to make a movie that has the year it was released as part of the title? We again had a good time with Pokemon's second theatrical release, and while the story was a bit cheesy, good humor, good animation, and great music really carry the film.

Nirav is maybe the world's biggest Pokemon fan and was worried this one wouldn't hold up to his memories of opening night at the theater, but luckily Pokemon The First Movie proved to be a good time with a few poignant themes and some solid animation. Also we watched it with the wrong subtitles so that was a ride. Two movies for the price of one! Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell!

As much as we enjoyed seeing Freddie Prince Jr. and Matthew Lillard in this spiritual prequel to the live action Scooby Doo movie, it wasn't super interesting. But we did get very hype about the cat people! Until we saw them. I think this one passed the Bechdel test tho, so, we're moving up! Welcome to Video Game Movie Hell!

FATALITY! As much as we loved the first Mortal Kombat film, this one lacks the heart and enthusiasm of its predecessor and makes several casting changes for the worse.

The Game Busters are back! After 9 months we've returned with a special episode of Good Games Inc, where we take your audience suggestions for game ideas and transform them into fantastic moneymaking powerhouses for us, the greedy publisher. Nirav is joined by Jess and Felicia to dissect ideas such as Baldur's Date 3, Attack on Catan, Fleshed Core VI, Overcooked: Girl Dinner, and even a Stuart Little soulslike. An optional video version of this podcast is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, other podcatcher apps will receive this as an audio file. The video version is also available on our Youtube Channel at https://youtu.be/nScZyn94Jbc?si=2XsY0n0PUcL718pn .

We're back baby! Nirav, Felicia, and Jess have begun an adventure that they may not survive in Video Game Movie Hell! These brave warriors are traveling through the past three decades to watch every video game movie adaptation ever in chronological order of release, and now you can join them! Be transported to a simpler time as we watch the movie that was so bad it scared Nintendo off doing movies for 30 years.

Le Fin! Nirav, Jess, and Felicia are joined by special guest Matt Bailey to talk all about the last episode of HBO's The Last of Us and the show as a whole. Did we like it? Spoiler: Yes. We'll miss you all dearly! In the meantime, here are some facts about giraffes I've prepared. Wait, where are you going. Hey, I'm not done talking! Thanks for listening! We'll be back for a new series whenever a new high profile TV show based on a game airs. Until then, catch us on https://gameluster.com and https://youtube.com/gameluster ! Make sure to find Matt's work at https://flickluster.com .

So, maybe it was in the moment, but we got a little carried away. Nirav, Jess, and Kate cordially invite you to a special episode of Good Games Inc, where we take your submissions for game ideas and turn them real! In the cold light of day, it sort of brings into stark relief that maybe we went too far on this one. Did we make a game where Luigi goes on a reality show and then f*cks cars and then drives around in them? Yes. But please officer, don't worry, the cars are all alive and can feel everything, no need to worry. Thank you to submissions from Andrew R, Ashkirl, Big John, Bobby, Brandy, Cibarius, Crimson 2877, DC, Derive, Eddie, Frostie, Giftseele, Grace, Haegemon, Inkweaver, Jinzuku, Jordan, Justyn, LFO, Lily, Ryu, Sarim, Thealexmott, Ventilated, Werty, and Zanna.

The Last of Bust airs every Wednesday!

I hope you like transportation planning, because man we get into it. This week's animal is a bear. Just a regular bear, no cocaine. None. Don't ask about it. Also we talk about The Last of Us Episode 7: Left Behind a little. Not a lot tho. I can promise some great insights on mass urban transit! Nirav, Felicia, and Jess return for The Last of Bust every Wednesday! Listen along with the show!

This week's episode is brought to you by the humble giraffe. Join us for discussions about Disney's Animal Kingdom, monkey swimming habits, peacock cries, and where you can buy giraffes NOW.
