Sailor Moon Another Story with Cass Proffitt (Distant Echoes) Some magical girl stories are content with sparkly transformations and heartfelt speeches. This is not one of those stories. This time on Play Comics we’re warping through the glitter-strewn chaos of Sailor Moon: Another Story, the Super Famicom RPG that took the 90s manga and anime vibes, mashed them with branching timelines and turn-based redemption arcs, and asked, “What if destiny needed a save state?” It’s console combat where emotional baggage weighs more than your inventory, and every villain monologue comes with a friendship discount.

Bartman Meets Radioactive Man with Tommy Proffit (Lee Carvallo’s Podding Challenge, Distant Echoes) Springfield’s favorite menace trades his skateboard for spandex in Bartman Meets Radioactive Man, and somehow the result ended up on both the NES and Game Gear. Whether it’s justice or just pure mayhem, this is one crossover nobody asked for but we’re glad to have anyway. But Chris can't do this along, so he's joined by the always enlightening Tommy Proffitt from Distant Echos and Lee Carvallo’s Podding Challenge. Together they unravel what happens when cartoon superheroes meet 8-bit hardware and common sense takes a vacation. So grab your cape, your slingshot, and your best “Eat my shorts” energy, because things are about to get weird, nostalgic, and slightly irradiated. Just like Bart would’ve wanted.

Wife is left handed.

I just got her to stop wanting to kill me.

Her desire definitely didn't have anything to do with the failing motor in my CPAP.

Do you have thoughts on this game? Are you the other host on a Simpsons related podcast <cough>@derekbgayle.bsky.social<//cough> that could use these to get your input?

The plan is to finish the episode up tonight so there's still time to get your thoughts into the show!

Dante’s Inferno with Adam Williamson They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, but in this case, it’s paved with quick‑time events and awkward platforming. Step back into 2010, when grim determination, button mashing, and a suspicious amount of artistic license gave us Dante’s Inferno on the PS3 and Xbox 360, the game adaptation no one asked for but we secretly loved anyway. Joining Chris this time is Adam Williamson. You know, that guy who’s somehow managed to pop up in both past and future episodes of Play Comics. It’s like he’s got his own metaphysical time loop going, except with fewer torturous souls and more witty banter. So grab your favorite medieval poetry anthology (or just pretend you’ve read it. No judgment), crank up the over‑the‑top orchestral soundtrack, and prepare to descend through nine circles of beautifully rendered weirdness. Let’s find out how a centuries‑old Italian masterpiece got a glow‑up full of demons, guilt, and surprisingly good level design.

Working on editing now. This might be your last chance to get your thoughts in the show.

Would YOU give this game to someone who wants to get into Dante's Inferno?

This is such a normal response. I'm shocked.

Today has been weird.

Do you have thoughts on if the PS3 and Xbox 360 game Dante's Inferno is a good include for a primer course when looking at The Divine Comedy? Let me know and I might (as in I probably will) include in in the show!

Let’s Get Some Audience Interaction Going I'm here with an idea on how we can get some audience interaction into the show. I record pretty far ahead because I'm afraid to not have an episode to publish. But I think we can work around that. The plan is to give y'all a heads up about what episodes will be released each month so you can send me a message (either voice or text) telling me if you would give someone that game as part of a primer course and a brief explanation why or why not.

The Darkness with Sarah of Mars Look,  We’ve seen a lot of comic-based video games in my time, but when a mafia hitman gets murder powers from an eldritch shadow monster so he can take vengeance on, well, everybody, you know we’ve entered elite storytelling territory. The Darkness isn’t here to make you feel good about humanity. It’s here to make you ask if you’d trade your soul for a pair of talking demon heads who love street lamps way too much. This week, we’re diving into The Darkness on PS3 and Xbox 360, that moody, gritty, and surprisingly heartfelt adaptation of the classic Top Cow comic series. And joining us for the chaos? None other than Sarah of Mars. Yes, that Mars. Because let’s be real: if you’re dealing with an ancient, malevolent cosmic force, you might as well bring in someone from a planet that already knows about hostile takeovers of a planetary variety. So get comfy (preferably not in the subway tunnels of New York with a swarm of writhing demons), because we’re unpacking love, loss, corruption, and whatever dark surprises the game decided to throw at us just for kicks. Oh, and if your shadow starts talking back… maybe turn off the console.
