WTFamicom with Dan and Nick

In 2019, our gaming podcast for people who hate gaming podcasts started. In the six years since, we've endured numerous break-ups, weird medical issues, turning 40 years old, disappointing download numbers, enemies turning into fans, followers blocking us on social media, botched Sonic the Hedgehog cookies, and one occasion of iHeartRadio accidentally putting us in their Instagram story. So how do we celebrate all these accomplishm...

The Mission: Impossible movies have Tom Cruise saving the world by doing insane stunts. From hanging on a plane, to driving a motorcycle off a cliff, there is nothing crazier than what he's done. But has he ever had to press buttons in a timed order just to beat a giant Hydra? Or has he ever had to constantly button mash furiously until his thumbs hurt just to get away from a PS2 style boulder? I thought not. Tom Cruise has never f...

As a '90s kid, there was nothing more important than playing video games. The only catch was that you had to rely on dumb parents to buy them for you. Why wouldn't these stinky adults just give me their stupid credit card like I asked? Was affording all these games and consoles that much of a hassle? How high (or low?) did these things cost? Wait...were my mom and dad secretly poor? On today's bonus episode, we deal with 30+ years ...

Did you know that we have a lot in common with The Beatles? We have accents and definitely have compared ourselves to Jesus at least once. But besides that, we also like tours of the magical mystery variety. Except this time instead of a tour it's a tier as in "tier ranking". That's right - we finally decided to rank video games the way people rank Beatles members' hair (Ringo is S tier). So what video game franchises did we choose...

What do James Bond, George Lucas, and Max Payne all have in common besides resting b*tch face? Give up? They all in some way contributed to some of the most famous developer cameos in video game history. Remember the "TOASTY!" guy from Mortal Kombat? He worked on the actual game! But what made some successful and others forgettable? Does having a cameo count as "jumping the shark"? On today's bonus episode, we chat about developer ...

Let's be honest - all the greats have taken a hiatus: Jesus, Al Pacino, the McRib, just to name a few. We all need to recharge our batteries at some point and come back when the time is right. And we figured it was our time to do the same. So what have we been doing these past 5 months? Are we up to date with who's been cancelled? Do we even like video games anymore? Don't fret - we answer all your questions and also ch...

Mustaches. Every guy has grown one at some point in their life thinking they look cool when really it's the nastiest thing ever. And that doubly applies to video games. Hell, one famous mascot has never even washed his since 1983, and we're supposed to be ok with that? Who else is guilty of this hairy crime? On today's bonus episode in honor of Movember we decided to check out some famous and famously gross mustaches in videogames....

What do Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees have in common besides terrible skin and the inability to find success past the 1980's? They also both had insanely difficult Nintendo games based off their movies. So in the spirit of Halloween we decided to do the scariest thing we can think of - we played them! Join us as we explore the retro hellscape of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1990) and "Friday the 13th" (1989) while talking about...

Ever since the dawn of Atari, Hollywood has refused to acknowledge the gaming industry and welcome them to any lavish ceremonies. Take Mario for example: every year since 1983 he gives an Oscar-worthy performance pretending he's still a plumber and for what? We think it's a crime that video games get snubbed during award season so of course we took it upon ourselves to create an award show for them! On today's bonus episode we nomi...

Where were you when you first heard Creed's 'Higher'? No one wants to admit it but that is pretty much the millennial version of "where were you on 9/11?" except cooler and with a tank top. In 1999, Creed was the biggest band on the planet then slowly people just stopped caring. In 2007 another creed took the world by storm but within a few years also had people scratching their heads saying "why did I li...

After being away for 3 months we are finally back and we have SO much to talk about! Jk, we haven't done sh*t. But we do think this is the perfect moment to reintroduce ourselves for new or old fans. But after that the episode is up for grabs! What video games have we been playing all summer? Did we see Deadpool & Wolverine? When did we get in trouble for talking about Mortal Kombat "nude" codes? How do we persona...
