That was the only sponsor segment I’ve watched in it’s entirety

I love the intro of Pat and Ian using the gelblaster!

I remember during the early days of the internet, the box art for the Goonies II NES game would get posted and people would claim it was a poster for the new movie coming out. LOL.

Seeing Ian play ball for the ad is god’s work lol. Good stuff boys. Have seen your cupodcasts in a good while, but glad to see you’ve got ads on them! Cheers

Lmao Ian and Pat look like they are having so much fun with the ad read

The GelBlaster actually looks awesome. Really cool stuff!

Lmfao that pat laugh impression at 5:00

Thumbs up for the ad alone 😄 Party On!

5:39 There was a script. Sean Astin and Corey Feldman talked about it during a panel at a FanExpo a few years ago. It got shot down basically because it was "too expensive" and that the script differed from what the studio wanted or something along those lines

Guardian legend took me 35 years to beat! Still awesome.

I've had Super Paper Mario since I was a kid, but I never got around to beating it until the pandemic. I had a thing with games up until recently, where if I dropped a game for a while, I had to restart it, no matter how far I got. I literally dropped and restarted this game in the final world!

Great video guys. All these years later and you still make me laugh. Years ago I loathed Ian but over the years he has grown on me. Playing some RC pro am while listening.

Thanks for airing my question.

You're (supposedly) going to get your Goonies sequel in 2027. It's being worked on.

In terms of current gen games that took me a long time in one go: EDGE OF ETERNITY (the console versions were released during 2022. I have the Playstation 5 version). The highly inaccurate website "How Long To Beat" says Edge of Eternity only takes 30 hours to beat the main missions. THIS IS A LIE!!! The game took me 74 hours (SEVENTY FOUR... not 30) hours to beat and I didn't even do the side missions. My guess is that some people looked at the extremely edited long plays of that game on KZfaq and just wrote down that fake 30 hour completion of the main game on that website. But yes, 74 hours. In terms of ALL TIME in one go... Witcher 3 on PS4. Took me 104 hours (mostly main missions, but I did do some side missions, but the more essential side missions that greatly added to the plot). As for a game that was stretched out over several YEARS... Mystic Defender on the Sega Genesis. I never could beat this game as a kid, but always liked it since it's based on the late 1980's into 1990's anime / manga: The Peacock King (Spirit Warrior) and is based on the late 1980's 3rd Peacock King / Spirit Warrior anime movie "Castle of illusion" (which is rated R to the extreme. Full frontal female nudity like crazy, TONS of highly violent scenes of blood, gore, etc, very mature themes like Satanic stuff, etc. Strangely, no curse words, the characters don't say bad words. Probably because they are too busy stabbing and shooting one another and running around naked. LOL). Anyway, I came back to Mystic Defender as an adult and eventually beat it.... after dying several hundreds of times. LOL.

That GelBlaster, makes me want to be a kid again with that toy. . Though I wish these were made when I was young, I'm glad that the new generation gets to have something like this. . .

That GelBlaster Ad was Excellent! Looked like alot of fun to film!

Jet li was awesome in pt 4

Mega Man X2 and X3. Absolutely...ridiculous.

Was looking forward to that castlevania question 🤔

Games that you have to beat in 1 sitting are games that took me a long time to beat. These are games with limited continues & lives. So side scrollers , beat em ups, airplane shooters & 2D fighting games like Mortal Kombat. Then also games like Zelda where you have to figure out what to do & where to go. I'm not just talking about Punchout, Contra, Battle toads, Ninja Gaiden. I'm also talking about easier games like Super Mario Bros 1-3, Wonder Boy in Monster Land, Aladdin (Genesis), Lion King, Mickey Mania, Streets of Rage 1-3, Final Fight (Snes), Rambo First Blood Part 2, Duck Tales. Basically any of these games that have limited lives & continues that when you play them with Saves States or/& a rewind feature these games I mentioned become the easiest games to beat.

Omg i want that gel water pistol

Shout out to the Florida Game store that got destroyed in Hurricane Ian. 8- Bit Hall of Fame. Anything you could do to help.

Those callers sound so familiar…

Friendly’s in Nashua, NH and Marlborough, MA both have drive thrus. I think the newer locations have them. I also like how Pat started his James Stewart impression.

Took me 20 years to beat most of the NES games I had as a kid thanks to emulators. Unless you mean in one go. It took me 6 months to 100% Red Dead Redemption 2

NGL that goo gun thing looks fun!

I'd pay to have a whole segment of you guys just fighting each other with go pros and gel blasters lol.

Metal Gear... Nes... 15 years. When I finally got the internet in 01, I was able to look up how to complete it. How tf was I supposed to figure out how Jennifer frequency worked or figure out the maze paths? Game didn't explain it.

My gel blaster when I was a kid was a piece of pvc pipe with a balloon strapped in one end. As ammo we would use a little fruit that was very abundant in our street. It wasn't edible and it looked like mini grapes. And boy, it was painful to get hit.

I went to the Keansburg Beach Amusement Park, as a kid, and they absolutely had kids slot machines. They paid out in tokens that you could use for those typical amusement park prizes.

Dracula’s curse.

Heh, I've got to speak to the thumbnail, as Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! is probably one of the games that was really difficult to beat back in the day. It took me about a week and a half to get to him, but it easily took at least another 3 weeks to FINALLY beat him.

So does Ian like Sonic Spinball? Thats definitely its own thing

Played Ultima IV Quest of the Avatar for NES for 6 months straight, no manual, took my own notes, then dropped it for another 6 months. Picked it up again where I left off, 6 months and 20 pages of notes later, finally beat it. All on a 5 inch B&W TV.

Punchout as a kid is a really hard game. Back in the day you couldn't look up video walkthroughs like you do now to know how to beat each boxer. Had that existed back in the day it would have taken me maybe 1 week to beat it. It took me months maybe years to master. I would only get a decision win on Tyson. It wasn't until like 5 years ago where I looked up a youtube guide to know how to beat each boxer. That helped me out a lot. I beat it in 1 sitting with a perfect record of 14-0.

NES games that took me *forever* to beat: Zelda I, because I got it on summer vacation and couldn't figure out the secret in Level 7. After Burner, because it's freakin' hard. Might & Magic, because it's so huge and I mapped every room.

Gel blasters were a huge fad around here at the beginning of summer. Then some genius decided to freeze the capsules and well...

That first called is actually Pat...

Of course pat drove the same car as Need Flanders

Ian caused quite a mess in Florida last few days.

Pat got a dad bod

That sponsor segment is 4 months too late! Gotta wait til next summer now ☹️

THX GUYS!!!

Cool topic discussing games you have improved upon. Without question, TMNT 1 for the NES would be my choice. Never even reached the final stages as a kid. It never stopped me from playing it, and getting good at the dam level, because I didn't have many games.

Although we had the 30 men code for Contra ( and other games...lol! ) I was never able to put it in on time. The day I beat the game the first time going straight through without losing all my men I put the 30 men code in fir the first time. How ironic.

Took me 30 or so years to beat Ghosts N Goblins on the NES and get the "true" ending. Fuck that game.

Lethal Weapon 3 grossed far more than 4 and has a higher Rotten Tomatoes score. I like both.

love to hear that last caller good times

I had a 3 cylinder geo metro hatchback with a standard trans. It was super fun and was like 1300 pounds. I never should have sold it. Same 44 mpg and that was city. Highway driving got better

Has to be Robowarrior (Bomber King - Famicom) NES, took me like 8 years. Love the game to bits! Or Section Z… never beaten it…

The giants just beat my bears on sunday. We got a fumble by ur backup QBs and the refs ruled it out of bounds. But on replay you could see there was enough room to put a ruler down. We clearly recovered it. And the announcers were silent. Then later during the packers game a horse collar got called and same thing. The announcers were silent. It was clearly not and then they show slow mo. The nfl is in utter shambles and I dont bother to care except for my team. And even then its infuriating when I do watch.

Not sure I ever finished Dragon’s Lair

IAN YOU NEED TO PLAY! these AWESOME pinball genre bending video games! PAT CAN YOU TELL HIM!... yall dont read this shit :( Rollers Of The Realm - A True Roll Playing Game Yoku’s Island Express - The First Pinballvania Creature In The Well - When Hack And Slash Meets Tilt And Bump Odama - Roll Out The Troops

I've had Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt since I was younger. But I didn't got around to beating in until 2002 on my original NES when I saved Princess Toadstool. I beat Super Mario Land, Kirby's Dream Land, Tiny Toon Adventures: Babs' Big Break on the Game Boy Color in 2002. I beat Glover on my Nintendo 64 in 2003. I beat Super Mario World, and World Heroes 2 on my original Super NES in 2002 to 2003. I beat The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX on the Game Boy Advance in 2012. Still awesome Nintendo games, and other games I haven't got yet, and not beating it yet.

0:42 ...Pat in the Box!

N64 boxes are easy to copy, but the colors are often wrong. You need to know what you're buying. KZfaqr SicCooper bought a fake sealed ClayFighter Sculpter's Cut, and could easily tell it was fake because he has a legit copy and could see the incorrect colors in the box. Told the buyer and got a refund, buyer didn't want it back (meaning the buyer made the fake package), and it ended up having a random sports game in it. There's also a misprint in the manual that scammers don't print right.

Love the podcast. Since there aren't any new NES Punk vids or much FMM, can Ian get a promotion since you two have been co-hosting the podcast for about 10 years? I think he deserves to have the channel called CU Podcast or Pat and Ian. Make him a full partner!

First Kingdom Hearts on PS2. I got stuck on Tarzan level. I could never pass it. Didn't have a guide. What you had to do was pretty dumb. Feels random. How anyone figured it out without help is beyond me. It went back to it few years ago on PS4 collection. I beat it. With help with a guide for the tarzan part. That is only one gone after years didn't beat because they were hard. Some games I didn't beat because I just never went back to them. Meant to. Just got more interested in other things and games. Like Uncharted 1. Now I have beaten all the games except PSP one.

FFVII,FFVIII for me before GameShark

Friendlys with drive thru windows....how does that work alot of the food and sundaes take awhile to make....

I always found it funny when people list Punch-Out as one of the most difficult NES games. When I was a kid I beat it easily over the course of a weekend rental. Granted I haven’t gone back to it since then so maybe my old man-style reflexes would drastically increase the difficulty at this point 😂

first

I can never quite catch her name right, but the last caller who checks in occasionally really isn’t as funny as she thinks in my opinion. The schtick has gotten old. Tommy calling in repeatedly was the best and normally pretty funny.

last caller is painfully unfunny
