Why are you doing even more of this to us? Exquisite Suffering is what we call the premium episodes of our show that's kind of about bad games, Abject Suffering. For several years we offered two extra episodes of the show per month to our patrons. Now, the extensive backlog of those episodes is one of the more valuable reasons to become a member!

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 82: Hooters Road Trip

    Hooters is an American chain restaurant where all the waitstaff are busty women, dressed in low-cut tanktops and short orange skirts. This burger and wing restaurant decided the best move for their brand was to release an abysmal late-era PSX racing game. But nothing about the game is as interesting as Hooters' history of legal entanglements.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 81: Yo Noid!

    A senseless mascot leads to senseless crime, but that's the way of things. Yo Noid! is better than it has any right to be, that's for sure, but the Noid himself is such a rich vein that we don't dwell on the game for too long. Surprising no one.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 79: Hybrid Heaven

    If I was in a position to at the time, I would have just written "RPG" on a hunk of plastic and sold it in an N64 box. That would have made me a lot of money, given how horny and deprived the N64 audience was for anything role playing. How do I know this? Because Hybrid Heaven is looked on fondly by people who played it, and it doesn't deserve any benefit of the doubt.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 78: Bionicle

    If we didn't cover this game for the show, I'd have gone my whole life without learning that Bionicles aren't just very boring, but also very racist. That may be too strong... let's say... uncomfortably racially coded. It's hyper-serious and cribs a lot of tribal iconography, which makes it the most 2000s thing imaginable. And we spend the whole episode trying to wrap our heads around it.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 77: Rise of the Robots

    This is one of the hardest episodes we've had to record. Fighting games are generally difficult because they don't have many mechanical hooks for us to hold onto. The one saving grace is that most of them have goofy characters we can clown on. Not this one. No, Rise of the Robots is dry and soulless, like a sandwich with no sauce at all.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 76: Conker's Bad Fur Day

    This is a big one, folks. Conker is an also-ran Rare mascot who is only remembered for the game that was so boring that they had to turn it into a big drunken fart. Lots of people remember this game fondly, but we can't find a slice of charm in it.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 75: Sonic 3D Blast

    Sonic has always been out to save animals from Dr. Robotnik. So it's a little galling when they say "no, really, these interdimensional birds are for real!" However, that's about all there is to complain about here. It's the most playable isometric game we've covered for the show, and its only crime is being a very poor fit as a Sonic game.

    Exquisite Suffering 74: Dilbert's Desktop Games

    Things somehow go downhill from the Dilberito. I'll come clean with you. If you know who Scott Adams is, and you know our general outlook on things, you can probably guess where this episode goes. And if you're not down for that, the first portion of the episode is for you. We talk about the Dilberito.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 72: Street Fighter 2010

    Street Fighter 2010 makes people angry. It posits an alternate future for Ken, where he picks up science and saves the world from his own misused creation. Street Fighter fans are more invested in Ken becoming some kind of dojo master or something boring like that. Choose cyber-Ken to be cool.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 71: Blasto

    Phil Hartman was a hero of comedy. Referred to as "The Glue" on the set of SNL, his special skill was to hold his co-stars together and be whatever they needed in order to make the sketch work. Consummate and dependable supporting players are extremely rare, and he managed to lift everyone around him up in a way that's admirable. Hartman's untimely death was absurdly tragic, and the fact that one of his last performances was in Blasto is depressing to the extreme.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 70: Swagman

    Swagman is extremely ugly and bad, so we spend most of our time pitching a new series: The Many Deaths and Infinite Hells of George Costanza. If anyone knows how to get this to Jason Alexander, please let us know.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 69: Super 3D Noah's Ark

    We managed to do so well for so long, getting through the majority of this episode before getting off on a tear about religion and politics. So, if that's not your thing, this might be uncomfortable for you. However, there's some fun stuff at the beginning!

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 68: Batman Forever

    Riddle me this, riddle me that, then come and listen to us chat. Batman Forever is a profoundly forgettable movie, and the games based on it are almost improbably execrable. Listen in to find out how.

    [PREVIEW] Exquisite Suffering 66: Coca-Cola Kid

    The game itself is innocuous enough, and advergaming in general is fine. That's not why this episode is one of our angriest ever. While grasping for straws to research this fairly obscure game, we found the VS Battle Wiki, and we hate it.
