| 6/22/26 | Games with weird fanbases | Fanbases are great! Passionate, kind, lovely people showing their support and loyalty to the things they enjoy. However...a lot of the weird, toxic, strange, offputting, and detestable stuff tends to rise to the top. Today, we honor the latter. While also finally giving the official Super Drunkey Ball rules. That matters more.MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgSHOW NOTESOur Nintendo ragebait episode:https://youtu.be/8MR2nseow_UIf the "AAA Focus, M" mention at 20:45 went over your head...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMh_APo2XssShoutout to minimme, who has played minigolf:https://www.youtube.com/@minimmeHere's the NBA game we mention around 55 minutes in (if it helps, it's actually only $30):https://store.steampowered.com/app/2866670/NBA_THE_RUN/And here is the latest Rate Is Great episode:https://youtu.be/0Slz8TK-VIYTODAY'S CRUBCAST HOSTSJustin: https://www.youtube.com/@WorldFamousJtart9Kevin: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGoldenBoltSean: https://www.youtube.com/@WolfkaosaunCHAPTERS00:00 You already knew Smash was going to be here04:36 Time to Persona mention07:00 Attaching identity to fandom14:15 Splatoon moment17:21 Sonic and meeting a fanbase where it's at24:22 Licensing NES cartridges29:02 Opening a cold one for Yoshi31:08 Daisy is dying, thanks to sports37:47 We're just talking minigolf41:03 Super Drunkey Ball rules explained47:04 Mac and cheese from hell53:33 Of diss tracks and dissent55:05 NBA The Run is a game that exists1:02:37 Debriefing the main topic1:05:51 A little Galaxy 1 vs Galaxy 2, a little Nintendo mobile games ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ | 1h 20m 02s | ||||||
| 6/15/26 | 9 things we want from Spyro A Realm Beyond | Spyro A Realm Beyond didn't give us MUCH to go on...but it certainly gave us enough to think about to begin hoping for what it could be. From the new flight mechanics, the presentation, the potential minigames...we wanted to talk about what we do, and don't, want from the return of the classic Spyro formula.MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgSHOW NOTESWe kind of joke about Stewart Copeland "no efforting" the PS1 music, we're just lightheartedly calling back to this short interview from the time.

| 6/8/26 | The case for an Austin Powers video game (and Austin Powers 4) | With 007 First Light releasing to rave reviews, and with us not having played it...we decided to weather the Summer Game Fest storm and do what we do best. Show up without an actual plan for an episode and wing it. However, we have a compelling case for why IO Interactive should ditch Amazon and instead make an Austin Powers game next. We also solve the decades-long question...what should Austin Powers 4 be about? We also finally discuss Grand Theft Auto 6 in this episode, so we are a topical gaming podcast finally.MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgTODAY'S CRUBCAST HOSTSCassandra: https://www.youtube.com/@ThatTravGuyChris: https://www.youtube.com/@MykonosFanNicco: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl56kbl3tb-KiGEHT7MUGUgMoriarty: https://www.youtube.com/@reallycoolCHAPTERS00:00 Yeah baby, yeah!
