    Toy

    Greg here, hat in hand. I'd like to apologize for misusing the word toyetic. I used it as if it meant "toy-like" or "possessing the properties one might expect in a toy" but it actually means "potentially marketable as a toy." I made a mistake! Sometimes mistakes are made during the heat of the crucible of a podcast recording. I will strive to do better. Anyways! In this episode, Giovanni delves the electronic ocean, David puts things on his reader device, Greg wants to make little doodads....OF HELL. If you'd like to show your appreciation of this heartfelt apology, consider going to our Patreon where you can support us for as little as $1/month. Or let us know how you feel in the comments of your preferred podcatcher of choice. Games discussed: Electroplankton, Splatoon 3, Hades Yu-Gi-Oh x Hello Kitty Happy Meal Toys

    Hole feat. Tom Zalatnai

    Holes. We've all got them, some more than others. As we dive down the rabbit hole of Hole, remember to take care of and look out for your holes along this journey. Are you oiling them regularly? Can they open and shut with ease? Do they still deploy torpedoes at a regular rate when people inside you prepare them? Are your holes rated to handle the pressure of the deep ocean so the people inside of you stay safe? In this episode: Giovanni gets stuck, Tom throws dice, David is literal, Greg pulls out the imaginary dictionary If you'd like to help us maintain the hole that is this podcast, consider joining our Patreon for as little as $1. Or leave us a rating or review on your podcatcher of choice. Games discussed: Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Yu-Gi-Oh: Dungeon Dice Monsters, Donut County, Pitfall Show Notes: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/donut-county-review
