Zeboyd

2023 in review (and some digressions!)

2023 is almost over! Have you accomplished everything you wanted to?
We discuss the past, present, and future of Zeboyd! ("we will not shut out the lessons that they teach.")
What are we most proud of this year?
Let's discuss Christmas videogames (including Cthulhu Saves Christmas).
Controversial topic alert! What makes a Christmas movie? We decisively put that discussion to rest!
Come play with us!
 
 

Captain N Episode12: Metroid Sweet Metroid

Wow, that title sounds like one we made up! But it isn't and it makes absolutely no sense, as usual.
The princesses personality changes once again to fit the story, (she doesn't deserve any actual personality)!
If Kevin is returning home to play videogames, he definitely won't need his Nintendo controller!
Mother Brain comes up with half of a workable plan! (and then she bites it).
Join us, and our demographically age-appropriate guest, to talk about all of this and more.

Zeboyd Game Awards NOW WITH AWARDS AND BANTER!!!

HAHAHAHA This is not the comedy we intended to do at the start of the awards show. Here is the Zeboyd Game Awards, again, but this time with awards and actual words (we spared no expense on that).
It's the 2023 Zeboyd Game Awards!
Who will win? Who will lose?
How will we obfuscate the term 'indie game' for our own gain?
What choices will Robert make that are categorically wrong?
How much will we dunk on Atlus (there's always a little dunking)?
Join Robert and Producer Miss Anthropy to find out!
Editors note: Shannon does not appear in this episode because she was trapped under something heavy and couldn't get to the computer. She still had to edit it though, so we eventually found a way to get a computer to her. But then she messed up the first upload so maybe that was bad all around.
Editor's note (again): Shannon is in favor of a barista simulator game and feels affronted by the dismissive discussion herein.

Captain N ep 11 - In Search of the Father (or ’objects in mirror are closer than they appear’)

Welcome to our Captain N episode 11 unpacking. Thanks for joining us, here's what we know:
If you are only slightly good then your opposite will only be slightly bad?
How evil do you have to be to actually be evil?
What does too much eye shadow say about you?
We come out in favor of food fights.
Can we keep some of the evil versions of the characters and trap the good-uns in the mirror dimension forever?
And more!
Come commiserate with us!

Zeboyd News: Happy Birthday Robert!

Its Robert's birthday!
We have an eclectic show for you.
Have you ever wanted to know what Robert and co. think about Star Wars and its fandom? (controversial!)
Is anyone else disturbed by the ethical considerations of Pokemon Violet?
Madden23 is... well, what can we say, you either get it or you don't!

Captain N: Simon the Ape Man (or you ape baby)

This one... This is one you need to skip if you have delicate sensibilities. Episode 10 is not for the faint of heart.
Simon gets amnesia (so, quality plot device there) and upsetting hijinks ensue.
He pretends to be a dog while the N team laughs.
The princess dresses him in a tutu solely to humiliate him (not that he doesn't deserve it).
And he enters into a disturbing relationship with Donkey Kong and sleeps in his mouth!
THIS ALL HAPPENS!!!!
Come commiserate with us!

Zeboyd news: Is AI bad?

Robert answers questions like:
Why doesn't Robert make games that are serious?,  Why isn't ______ on my favorite platform?, and the common, Why doesn't _______ have a sequel?
We also discuss remakes! remakes! remakes! and the completely non-controversial topic of AI!
Come play with us!

Captain N Ep 9: Nightmare on Mother Brain Street (yes, that’s the actual title)

Another episode, and more descent into madness, Zeboyd friends. In this episode: we learn about how Excalibur is not the same game as Wizards and Warriors, we peel back more layers of Mother Brain's psyche, and there is soooo much kissing! You'll have to listen to find out who is kissing who (or just watch the episode, but I warn you this podcast is less painful)! You can watch the episode with us on the Zeboyd YouTube channel. Come play with us!

Robert shocks us with the revelation that he did not have 'moves' in High School!
Where do Nintendo babies come from?
We float the hilarious sitcom idea Father Drac.
