Ever wonder how a $400 million game can flop harder than a broken joystick? This week, Underscore, Jon Powell, and ShadoSpartan dive headfirst into the most infamous, unhinged, and spectacularly bad video game marketing campaigns of all time.

From Romero’s legendary Daikatana trash talk to Mercenaries gas riots, Dante’s Inferno’s deadly sins, and Acclaim’s completely feral “Extreme Era,” your Time Pals revisit a greatest-hits collection of corporate overconfidence—including failed hype machines and just how much money can be set on fire by a major company in a handful of years (BOOMSHAKALA!).

Listen now and cringe with us everywhere you get your podcasts.

This week, co-host Nickell attempts to get the Time Pals into the holiday spirit—launching them on a nostalgic, chaotic, music-filled sleigh ride.

From quitting a job for Cake, discovering their inner power-punk with Green Day, feeling like they’re fearlessly marching into certain doom with Sabaton, getting blasted by the holiday-magic lasers of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and reminding everyone that Limp Bizkit’s “Nookie” is actually a poetic breakup song—this episode dives into the albums and bands that shaped the Pals, inspired them, and still hit just as hard today. 💿🔥
