This week we have just Chris and I for a riveting discussion on platformers, new and old, as well as our favorite supplemental manuals for Tabletop gaming!  Let us know if you liked Super Mario 64 or Banjo Kazooie, we apparently have mediocre to half-assed feelings about them.  Check us out on YouTube as well!

Drink to the Past 61: A guide to shipping

This week Crow is replaced by Nick who says one thing and then leaves like a dick. Talk about him behind his back, it will be hilarious. Also Lyle is replaced by a bottle of wine which isn't too terrible but I forgot to rate it on the podcast, but I give it an 8 on our scale of 3 to 17. Like meh.

Drink to the Past 60: Long and Hard

I deleted the timestamps after I copied them into the YouTube thing.  Timestamps available on YouTube, or maybe I'll edit this later.  For now I'm tired and want to go to bed.

ANYHOO:

This week is about long video games, whether or not they're better than short ones, and the same vague idea about tabletop games with long stories, or those presented as one-shots.  I'll take one-shot, or maybe two.  Probably three for good measure.  Pass the rum.

Drink to the Past 59: SPIN ME ROUND!

This week is all about spinoff discussions after a fairly long Nooz'nBooz segment!  Check out our video game topic: Spinoff games we want to see or loved playing at timestamp 1 hour 6 minutes, and our tabletopic, How to make a good TTRPG spinoff of an existing property at timestamp 1 hour 27 minutes!

Drink to the Past 58: A Wild Nick Appears!

Nick accidentally joins a DnD 5e campaign midway through the pub!  That's just great!  Check out our first actual play session in quite a while!  Can Nick, Chris, and Crow take on Bilgecradle the Needlessly Muscular?  Or will they be too distracted by all the great tacos?  SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE WACKY IDIOCY!

Drink to the Past 57: Abraham Lincoln is more than three.

This week we talk about stuff and things.  Final Fantasy VII Remake is among them, as is using the same game world for multiple play groups in a TTRPG.  If you're interested in those topics, give a listen, if not, we jump down plenty of rabbit-holes as always, so give a listen anyways!

Drink to the Past 56: We're at War and Lyle likes Dark Souls.

Follow Busted Buttons on other podcast apps and remember we're at War! It's probably a marketing ploy, but hey, they're a fun podcast so what do you have to lose?

Drink to the Past 55: Weird shit in Tabletops and Video Games

We talk about video games and tabletops AT THE SAME TIME! Our topic this week is all about why we give a pass to strange and nonsensical things in videogames, bit are more harsh and analytical of them in tabletops. Drink along at home and have a jolly ol' time!

Drink to the Past 54: Sean might be crucified

We talk good games and good GM strategies. I defend Metroid: Other M. come along and crucify me.
