Ahoy, you swarthy gold swiping, ship sinking sea dog! Modern warfare is no match for the fierce realism of Steven Michael and Aaron. Aye, matey! That's why plundering and pillaging are back in style, as you command the role of a high seas high-jacker. Either an English Buccaneer (Michael), Dutch Adventurer (Justin), Spanish Renegade (Aaron), or French Explorer (Steven Michael), each with a different skill level and strategic impact. As a swashbuckling Bit Brother, you'll barter with Aaron, trade for hidden treasure maps, negotiate with an unscrupulous Steven Michael and forge alliances with Justin who'd just as soon stab you in the back than float you a loan for new ships. But that's only half the battle! You'll also assault other game systems (Sega Genesis), sword fight with Michael, lay siege to CRT TVs, and fire your cannons broadside at an armada of rival podcasts. Arrrg, me swabby! Don't think it's all fun and destruction. Because if your bloodthirsty crew isn't kept happy boarding and burning enemy vessels, or if your navigation skills leave them shipwrecked on a jagged Caribbean reef, they won't think twice about using you for shark bait. Fortunately, if events do take a nasty turn, you can save the statistical loot you've captured and return with a vengeance on another day. So keep your eye (the one that doesn't have a patch over it!) on your ultimate objectives - power, fame, prestige, gold, land, and the hand of a beautiful maiden - and you'll find the sailing smooth and your "red beard" scraggly!

Psych! You thought this was going to be the Pirates! episode didn't you? Well, we did too. Unfortunately, most everyone couldn't make it on this episode. However, Steven and Michael had already sat down so they figured it might as well serve as a chance to catchup and talk games and life anyway. Look forward to several topics including: PS5, wild birds, therapy sessions about obsessing over side quests in games, $GME, and and a lot more!

Michael and Justin are filling in at the Cookie Factory, and they need your help! Fresh baked cookies roll out of the ovens. It's up to Michael to sort and stack 'em before they pile too high! Line up a row of the same kind of cookies either vertically or horizontally, and they vanish! Clear the screen to move on to a new level of cookie chaos. Matt Raithel of Graphite Labs appears from time to time to stir things up. Play for high score, or head-to-head against a fellow Bit Brother. The mouth-watering madness doesn't let up! And be sure to keep some cookies close by, 'cause you'll get the munchies during this lip-smacking good time! Brought to you by the Bit Brothers Network

Justin is ready for mind-blowing action... Michael is prepared to test himself against the most fearsome forces of evil... Power Trip Gaming... It's time to enter the world of FARIA! The Dudes slash their way through a relentless onslaught of bloodthirsty Power Trip Gaming Bros! Challenge a cruel and cunning Andy with their magic and their wits! Paul has been kidnapped by a fiendishly powerful Andy for his bride. The Bit Brothers and Dudes are all powerless to rescue him... And now Justin and Michael have come from a distant land to answer the call for help! FARIA is action-adventuring fun for the entire Bit Brothers community, featuring: Feverish battle against every monster ever imagined! Challenging gameplay for even the most experineced brother! Over 70 different items to acquire, from powerful weapons to spectacular magical powers! Adventurer's Guide included! Brought to you by the Bit Brothers Network

Where life, love and money all depend on how well you play the game. Justin can make billions of dollars when he deals with the giants of Wall Street, the Bit Brothers community. Not only does Justin take risks by playing the stock market and buying up GameStop stonk, but he must prove that he can uphold a high standard of living. Michael dreams of fame and fortune and this Life Simulation game is his way to the top. He can taste the victory of success, but only if he is strong enough to face the challenge of life, and buys up all the GameStop stonk. Now, are you ready to deal? YOLO, buy some tendies.

Michael just found out that Justin was kidnapped by Brother Tyler and taken to Adventure Island in the South Pacific. Michael lands on Adventure Island without weapons or food. The island is thick with tropical forest, mountains, and caves. Hidden on the island are his skateboard, axe, food, and other helpful tools you must find by exploring the island. Michael better find the weapons and food quickly because he will need them to fight Brother Tyler's spiders, snakes, bats, and demons. Brother Tyler has set lots of traps for Michael before he can face him one on one. Is Michael up for the challenge?! Can he live through Adventure Island to save Justin?!

We've almost done it! We've almost covered all of the TMNT games for the NES. Does it make you as sad as it makes us? Well, fear not! This episode might very well be worth multiple listens.

The dudes are joined by developer Matt Hughson (@matthughson) to talk about Matt's game, From Below, as well as Mighty Final Fight.

We are finally back to talking about games and according to Dude Andy, this one is a guaranteed good game. Now, is it a good podcast? We'll let you decide. This episode we are talking about the Goonies II.

So we go on another hiatus and comeback with an episode that IS NOT about the game we promised. We're the worst. However, we promise this is a quality episode about a variety of topics including: COVID-19 College Football Donkey Kong Country Tony Hawk Pro Skater Tony Hawk's Twitter Account Super Mario 64 (L is Real) Apple Antitrust Roblox Spotify vs. Apple Music Camping/Vacationing with Kids Beach Trips as an Adult Metallica Hopefully somewhere in there you can find something to listen to while we prepare a Goonies II episode. Thank you guys for sticking around "during these trying times."

Here it is. We discuss arguably the greatest sports game of all time thanks to a Patreon Pick from Tyler! We don't want to hear it if we didn't discuss it to your liking, we pulled out all stops on this one: two hours long, Namo Gamo on as guests, the word poop on at least four occasions, throwback to #SweetFeed. This episode is a winner. Be sure to check out Namo Gamo's game Basketball Classics on Steam. It truly is what Tecmo Super Bowl would be if it was a basketball game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/819630/Basketball_Classics/

The dudes are joined by JZNES on this classic style episode: only about 10 minutes of tangents at the start, a quiz game, plenty of game talk. So you guys are in for a real treat with this one.

Ain't no klowning around on this episode. Ah, who are we kidding? Skip 25 minutes in again if you want to get to game talk, but you'll miss out on a great "Ask Justin" segment.

Another episode, another round of non-game talk. Skip to around 25  minutes if you want pure game talk, but there is a lot of good Michael  and Justin nostalgia at the beginning if you're in the mood.

The Dudes discuss their first Japanese exclusive game! That is if you can get past the COVID-19 talk. Seriously, just skip to about 20 minutes into the podcast and ignore all that virus talk at the beginning. What would a game named after the Dio album Holy Diver be like? Well for starters, it's Japanese only. For other crazy information and game discussion about this very "metal" game, tune in!

The Dudes are back baby! It's been a long 6 months, but hopefully it was all worth the wait as Justin and Michael sit down to talk about Brother Andrew's Patreon Pick... Solomon's Key! Brought to you by the Bit Brothers Network
