episode 9 - martyrs

back by popular demand, the one and only jimmy falun gong joins us once again to permanently cure us of all liberal tendencies. we talk about the worst game of all time and how they made a mockery of stalin the stallion's legacy. time to bring back stalin boys! that's right go bother your shitty brother to listen to this episode, we prove once and for all that the man is a hero (and possibly POC that one's harder to discern)

the bog boys are back this time we've got dakota with us making his first appearance on a podcast! we cordially invite glenn greenwald to come on the show to bravely truthtell with us and then dive into MGSV to answer the important questions, including but not limited to is snake really bi-curious? did kojima blow up the world trade center? and what makes uncircumcised bullets so much cooler than cut rounds?

well we missed mindgamez monday by about an hour but it's all good, better late than never! we're vibing tonight, the bog is steamy and we're all just soaking wet and itchy talking about committing regicide. we finally get to the bottom of who actually killed kennedy, people thought it couldn't be done and yet all it took was a couple intrepid sleuths from florida working through it

it's SSRI night in the mindgamez bog as we explore the snuff film simulator, rockstar north's manhunt! it's bleak and depressing but you can hear alex getting pilled over the course of the episode which is good because really this whole thing has just been a long con to drive alex insane and it appears to be working. also in the intro alex bleeps me referencing the bag of fertilizer i have on my porch which is in no way to be construed as a threat towards anyone

you may not have known but games are something you can play outside the internet too, like face to face with friends and family and even strangers and today we talk about a "real life" game called chess with one of twitter's foremost chess scholars @GoodluckJonboy! he teaches us how chess and driving cars are opportunities to play god and kicks each of our asses at chess at the same time. also we have some absolutely serene outro music by @doodoodarian

we're back!!!! after a month (plus) hiatus we get back in the zone to discuss wolfenstein 2: the new colossus, but along the way we get sidetracked talking about the physics of pressurized systems and avian reproduction processes. this is a new leaf we're turning over, this is a science podcast now, no one will ever accuse us of being mouthbreathing swamp people ever again! also huge shout out to alex for turning 150 minutes of nonsense into something semi coherent, he pulled tf through frfr

well folks we did it we brought on the world's greatest parapolitical investigator mr jimmy falun gong (@JimmyFalunGong) to help us sift through the libidinal rampages that are freedom fighters and both homefront games. we discuss how mormons rightly believe that central america will topple washington, the logistics of maple syrup centric domestic gladio ops, the spooked up life of john milius, and we announce the formation of a new political party. it's a doozy!!

we've been getting lots of feedback about the show: "stop talking about birds" "this is completely incoherent" "this podcast is just three guys with internet brain damage melting down for an hour." well folks we here at mindgamez are learning and growing. for this episode cj and alex sit down and try to seriously dive into martyrs and its links with the marc dutroux case out of belgium. fair warning the content on this one is bleak, we tried to not get into graphic details of real crimes but it's still extremely grim shit

call of duty is for real turning losses into lessons! the bay of pigs? mostly a success!! vietnam: where the US only did good things to bad people! mkultra was just some shit the russians did in gulags! also what if at the end of blood meridian instead of the judge it was jim carrey's the grinch? "he says that he will never die. he dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. he never sleeps, the grinch. he is dancing, dancing. he says that he will never die."

listen we spent the first 11 minutes talking about different restaurants and adlibbing songs about bioshock. if that's your jam great but if not you can go ahead and skip to minute 11 which is where we start to get on track. also gonna throw a trigger warning on this one, not because we say anything particularly triggering but because bioshock infinite is so maddening that we all got triggered. lots of actionable threats that we had to cut out of this baby!
