Episodes

  1. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 204: Death Crimson

    In this final premium episode of Abject Suffering, we talk about the legendary kusoge “Death Crimson”, a barely-functional light gun shooter that qualifies as genuine outsider art. We also get kind of wistful about urban exploration and talking to our past selves.

  2. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 203: Reign of Fire

    Reign of Fire is the kind of movie you can’t make anymore, and that’s a good thing. It’s the perfect storm of post-9/11 militarism, and post-Lord of the Rings fantasy bandwagon chasing, with a pre-Batman Christian Bale and a pre-McConaughssaince Matthew McConnaughey. While a game about shooting...

  3. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 202: My Stop Smoking Coach

    If you weren’t there, you might not understand that there was a small movement to market the Nintendo DS as a kind of PDA, with utility software being sold as games. This also included self improvement games like Brain Age. Hot on this trend, Ubisoft went all in with a line of “My Coach” games,...

  4. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 201: The 20 Lost Levels of Joshua

    Wisdom Tree is an interesting company that makes very bad games about the Bible, but you kinda have to give them credit for reverse engineering Nintendo hardware. This GameBoy game, The 20 Lost Levels of Joshua, is attached to a GameBoy version of the NIV Bible, and it’s hard to tell which side…

  5. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 200: Beyblade: Let it Rip!

    Beyblade is like Digimon but it's about spinning tops. It's as dumb as it sounds.

  6. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 199: The Phantom 2040

    Watch out! It’s the Phantom! Don’t let him… do whatever he does. Nobody knows, except maybe the people in the near future of 2040. But even they are kind of scratching their heads about this one.

  7. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 198: Demolition Girl

    She's big, sure, but does she know how to collate a print job? Nobody every considers what the giant girl's job prospects are.

  8. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 197: Sniper 2

    I earnestly, honest to glob, don't ever remember submitting this game. But it does sound like something I would do. --Gwen Sniping is one of the most fun activities in a video game, and probably one of the least fun things to do in real life. That didn’t stop the sniper game boom in the 2000s,...

  9. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 196: Jurassic Park III: Park Manager

    It would be really hard for me not to just go grab a velociraptor when somebody asks me to speak to the manager.

  10. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 195: Secret Agent Barbie

    There's a doll who leads a life of danger To everyone she meets she stays a stranger With every move she makes another chance she takes Odds are she won't live to see tomorrow

  11. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 194: C.P.U. Bach

    Nothing quite says "I want to beat that kid up" than a video game about classical music.

  12. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 193: Pac-Man World 2

    This is a Pac-Man's World.

  13. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 192: The Legend of the River King

    10 out of 10. There's a fishing mini game.

  14. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 191: Magic Pengel

    Magic Pengel for Video Game Hall of Fame, 2024.

  15. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 190: The Shadow

    Lock it in, Grant.

  16. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 189: Gamera 2000

    As a Kaija aficionado, I prefer Biollante myself.

  17. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 188: Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness

    Piss 2 first appeared in AS #365! Eggcelsior, true believers! --Grinning Gwen

  18. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 187: Golden Nugget 64

    In case you can't make it to your favorite casino in person.

  19. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 186: Colony Wars

    I literally just found out that Sony owns Psygnosis. Who knew.

  20. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 185: Cutthroat Island

    You know what the kids love? Pirates. Pirates! More! Edit: Sorry about the double post! There was a problem with the first one and Patreon wasn't letting me upload a fixed file as an edit to that post. - K

  21. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 184: Wacky Race

    I've seen wackier.

  22. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 183: Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival

    Is this the ugliest NES game? Debate in the comments below.

  23. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 182: Disney's Hercules

    As far as this style of Disney movies goes, it was one of the better ones. But does that mean that much?

  24. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 181: Spooky Castle

    If I'm going to spend all this money on a castle, it better be fuckin' spooky.

  25. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 180: Samurai Western

    Just another Samurai Cowboy, trying to rustle up some cattle and protect my feudal lord's land.

  26. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 179: Gabe Newell Simulator

    Me gamer, me want game. Where game?! WHERE GAME?!

  27. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 178: Reservoir Dogs

    Ah. The PS2. A simpler time when we could make a 15 year old movie into a video game and we'd all say "yeah, alright. That makes sense."

  28. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 177: Chameleon Twist 2

    T-Shirt idea: "All podcasts inevitably turn into reflections on aging."

  29. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 176: Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon

    I seriously played this game dozens of times as a kid. Only now am I realizing that Bart Simpson voices the boy-car. Actually, is it a boy? I suppose cars have neither gender nor genitalia.

  30. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 175: The Rapid Angel

    Anime stans. Please. Can we at least admit that, this, THIS, is ugly?

  31. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 174: C: The Contra Adventure

    I misread a number and that's why this episode is late! Also, how does one count?

  32. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 173: XIII

    It's either the 173rd episode of Exquisite Suffering, or the 13th. I forget.

  33. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 172: Laser Lords

    M'laser.

  34. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 171: Battletanx

    Tanx, but no tanx.

  35. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 170: Ultima: Stones of Virtue

    There was supposed a second, companion title called Ultima: Slabs of Vice, but they just thought it sounded naughty.

  36. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 169: Medal of Honor: Underground (GBA)

    A shitty version of something that was, at best, mid.

  37. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 168: Beethoven

    BEETH. OVEN.

  38. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 167: Impossible Creatures

    You can make any kind of creature you want! Wait, no. NO! Not like that! What is wrong with you?

  39. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 166: Wolverine: Adamantium Rage

    All the classics are here! Trevor Fitzroy, Albert... uhhhhh.... the guy with the claws.

  40. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 164: Cory in the House

    Cory! In the house! What are the odds?!

  41. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 163: Monty Python and the Holy Grail

    You have chosen... poorly. That's this movie, right?

  42. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 162: Rat Simulator

    Hey. Let's eat some trash. You go first.

  43. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 161: Taz-Mania

    This Game Gear game has music that sounds like clowns doing a prank in a synthesizer.

  44. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 160: Teenagent

    Sup, fellow teens. Yeet. How is capitalism oppressing you today? Ha ha, I hear that.

  45. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 159: Tiny Tank

    Egg on my face. I asked for a Tiny Tank episode and then they make fun of Green Day half the episode. Truly this is the monkey's paw.

  46. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 158: Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future

    There he is. There's that slippery, wet bastard. Always defending the future. We'll show him who's the boss around here. Get 'em, fellas!

  47. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 157: Chuck Rock

    We return to the inexplicable Cave-Mania of the early nineties with one of the least effective protagonists ever seen in a platformer. Chuck Rock's primary attack is to bulge his belly out by a few inches. And maybe throw stones if they happen to be nearby. And maybe assault a Buca di Beppo if it...

  48. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 156: Totally Spies! Totally Party

    It's time to talk about a kids' show that we were too old for, but somehow are too innocent to fully understand. Totally Spies! Totally Party is a very boring party game, like only the early 2000s could produce. But its subject matter is a show that was entirely colonized by people who were Too...

  49. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 155: Nicktoons Racing

    You know Nick. You know Toons. But did you know they raced? Like M&Ms and pious zoo animals before them, all of your favorites like Spongebob and Daggett and Norbert hopped in little cars and went around and round. We touch on the GBC and PSX versions of the game before talking about the best…

  50. [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 154: Rocket Knight Adventures

    Rocket Knight Adventure is a good game. Its graphics are big and bold, the platforming has a good amount of variety, and the combat is flawed but not worthy of a dragging. So we talk about the game's merits instead, before turning to the question: If humans worked on Gremlins rules, could we find...
