    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 143: Bratz Babyz

    Bratz dolls were so hideous that they started a moral panic, and they were also a transmedia property! Movies, TV shows, games, all dedicated to the dolls So Ugly They Made the News. This is one of the more robust mini-game collections we've covered, but we're more interested in the gossip to be found in the comments on the Bratz Wiki pagez.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 142: Blues Brothers 2000

    The year 1998 brought us a Blues Brothers revival that shouldn't have happened, and which nobody wanted. But Dan Akyroid's face gets itchy without those sunglasses, and he charged ahead anyway. Then they made a game adaptation of the movie, kind of, two years later. Instead of talking about that, we talk about the ways that movie revivals have changed, and get really fixated on rebooting the horrible movie "Stealth."

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 141: 3 Ninjas Kick Back

    3 Ninjas is a film franchise that is a beloved favorite of the post-Goonies pre-Sandlot set, and we didn't even realize they made a game of it. There's not much to talk about here, so we instead fixate on the movies, whether or not kids today share our martial arts fascinations, and how Kole is a very bad uncle.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 140: Comix Zone

    Comix Zone is one of the worst examples of style over substance in the 16-bit era that you'll find outside of Psygnosis games. A perennial inclusion on Sega collections, this brawler about a comic artist who is drawn into his work is just no very fun to play. So we instead pitch the improbable comic adventures of Kole, whose comic gets cancelled... and then things start getting weird in his shut-down world.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 139: Project Overkill

    I'm sorry this is posted out of order! For some reason my original version didn't post. Project Overkill is a simple game whose entire premise is contained in its name... What if you killed a bunch of dudes in a very awkward isometric shooter. That's it. That's the game.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 138: Mario's Time Machine

    When you're an educational product, literally all you need to do is get the facts right. But it turns out Mario is on a mission to sabotage your kid's education by teaching them myths and lore about historical figures. It's devious in its way... but why is Mario doing it? What does Mario want?

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 137: Dennis the Menace

    Imagine, if you will, a very bad boy. Now make him 100% worse. That doesn't come close to the awfulness of Dennis the Menace, the young child born to kill the old man. This movie was a nightmare, the old television show was boring, and this game is bad too. So we talk about the times we were menaces ourselves, but mostly we were just weiners.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 136: Monster House

    What if a house was also a monster? This is the essential question of the forgotten work, Monster House. And the game based on the movie based on this question is actually pretty neat. It's an actiony Resident Evil for kids, where you fight possessed household objects with Super Soakers. And speaking of Super Soakers...

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 135: The Mask

    Somebody stop him! No, please, stop this horrible green man. The Mask is a very frivolous movie that's all antics and no jokes, and this SNES adaptation isn't much more enjoyable. Stick around for the back third, when we pitch the best police procedural television show ever.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 134: The Fifth Element

    It's a kind of movie they don't make any more, and it's also a pretty good case against that kind of movie. It's just a shame that Chris Tucker will never be able to escape this role... although it's kind of the role he was born to play.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 133: Solstice

    The most notable things about Solstice are its bangin' music and its baffling cover. Beyond that, it's a promising puzzle platformer whose wind is stolen by Europe's fascination with the isometric perspective. Also, we talk about needing lamps to be in society.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 132: Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow

    Maui Mallard is another entry in the "over-animated, hard to play" Disney animation games. You play as Donald Duck as he's having a horrible identity crisis, sliding back and forth between alter egos in a fugue tango of asset collection. Also, we talk about how embarrassing Sting is.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 131: Butt-Ugly Martians: Zoom or Doom

    At least the title of the cartoon is accurate. CGI has been a blight on animation, generally, as the early 2000s wiped away most traditional 2D art and replaced it with cheap, hideous homunculi who vaguely gesture at each other while emitting wacky voices. And no show was more hideous than Butt-Ugly Martians. The cart racer based on it is pretty bad, too.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 129: Trampoline Terror!

    This simple and forgotten game bounces right out of our minds. Fortunately, Kole makes an admission that drives Gary up the wall, and we spend a good deal of time talking about how reasonable it is to preserve your old things.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 127: Beast Wrestler

    One of the least functional games we've covered acts as a springboard for hubris. Namely, we break down exactly which animals we think we could take in a fight. Not that fighting an animal to the death wouldn't make us really really sad.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 126: Montezuma's Revenge

    People likely voted for this episode because the game is named after diarrhea. I'm sorry to report that there's not as much bodily function talk in this episode as you'd think there would be. Although this might come as a relief to most of you.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 124: Tail of the Sun

    It's not enough to be weird! This early PSX game is about a tribe of cavemen who wander a mostly empty void, eating cookies and maybe collecting bones to make into a tower. We run out of steam talking about it, so we switch to a nuclear grade digression that you'll have to hear to believe.
