It’s MAR10 Day and Time Pals chose chaos!

This week, co-hosts Jon Powell and Mike Underscore promise zero level breakdowns, not a single discussion about gameplay mechanics, and absolutely no tier lists.

Instead, we’re celebrating everything but the games — from Super Mario Cheez-Whiz cans and the official Nintendo console sewing kit to Luigi’s rampage at the Super Mario Ice Capades and the legend of the Super Hornio Brothers adult movies. We even found a rare example of when “The Simpsons Didn’t Do It” first!

It’s Off-Console Chaos, and it’s-a not what you expect.

Time Pals co-host Jon Powell spun the roulette wheel and chose chaos.

This week, the Time Pals present “Jon’s Genre Smash: Bad Games from Good Developers.”

For every legendary studio with wall-to-wall hits… there’s that one game. The one that makes you stare at the screen and whisper, “How?”

From a roulette wheel with 30 possible game developers, the Time Pals gambled their sanity on absolute disasters. We’re talking buggy launches, broken mechanics, rage-inducing design, and the kind of choices that make you question everything.

We’re looking at the worst games from studios that should have known better — because sometimes even the GOATs drop a steaming pile.

The episode is available everywhere you get your podcasts.

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.
