MP#122 - The Dragon Quest of Movies

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 20:54:10 GMT

Turns out subversion isn't required to make a good movie

GAMERS, we totally skipped our last recording day and today you find out why. Dielan went to go watch Project Hail Mary in theaters while Vic juggled Crimson Desert between his regular duties. We have a lot to say about both of these things, plus more!

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 22:12:17 GMT

Begun the goon wars have

MP#120 - Firebomb Your Computer

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 23:48:45 GMT

Plz join my Steam group (and try Valour)

GAMERS, this isn't the first time we've commented on a Discord exodus, but with some luck it may be the last. @Dielan@shitposter.world actually spent a while looking into the state of Discord alternatives, three of which we will go into some depth in this episode.

MP#119 - All Jeffrey Epstein's Fault

Sat, 07 Feb 2026 22:26:52 GMT

Notice how Gaben isn't in the files

GAMERS, welcome to MP#119, where the tangents were many and it is essentially unchapterable. We did attempt to but a few chapters together for the upload but trust that this episode is all over the place, in the most positive way possible. Turns out a 3rd and 4th Concord-like (as in commercial failure) is on the way and @Dielan@shitposter.world reacts to the trailer in the recording. We also spend some time talking about the audacity of it all that Highguard even has a roadmap. All this an more inside.

MP#118 - Ball and Gun

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 22:38:07 GMT

We are so back

GAMERS, Happy new year! It's time to talk about the best games of 2025. Be it drama surrounding the industry shows such as The Game Awards, as well as our own nominations. Here's how the Melonmancy Podcast awards game of the year: since it's unrealistic to always be playing new games at full price, unless you're some paid off corpo journalist, each member of our cast will award the best new game they played this year, be it new or old. It must only be new TO YOU. Please send us boostagrams or post on our forum what was the best new game YOU played last year and we'll talk about it next team, even if the game is fuckin ancient, if its new to you, it's new.

It's our podcast and we'll talk about whatever we want. Welcome to a return to normalcy where we cover a variety of subjects instead of just a couple of really long ones. Crack open a beer and chill with us. We're gonna talk about the Galaxy showcase, Marathon, Skyblivion & the leaked Oblivion remake, and a whole bunch more.

Sources cited:

Nintendo Online subscribers get to upgrade the zelda games for free for some reason?

We did this episode stone cold sober

GAMERS we are FEASTING over here. Western bloggers are losing their minds over games they wanted to succeed failing, and games they wanted to fail succeeding. It is delicious. This episode is a long one but that's because we are covering some of the details surrounding Concord, Dustborn, Star Wars Outlaws, Soulash 2, and Black Myth Wukong all in one episode. There was a lot to say about it!

WE BACK (from vacation)

Everybody and their mother had a video game showcase since we last recorded and it warrants a chinwag (he he). Somehow Nintendo came out on top? News and hot takes found within.

During the show we compare Joanna Dark's new Buzz Lightyear chin to the video thumbnail of the same trailer, and the xbox 360 game from years past. We reference some specific pictures which you can see here: Link

We also mentioned in the episode a cool conversion mod you can get on Steam for Skyrim. Link here

I think it's long past time for a complete Ubisoft boycott for all games past, present, and future.

The horrors won't end! Sony and Microsoft compete for worst decisions in gaming, meanwhile Ubisoft might have them both beat. All of this and more in our episode!

We totally wrapped recording this one JUST before the big Helldivers 2 account linking news dropped. Oh well.

In today's episode Stellar Blade first impressions! Is the story really as predictable as the bloggers say? Dielan gives his predictions based on being 10 hours in. Find out in the episode after this if he was right.

The $70 you were going to spend on FF7 Rebirth would be better spent on boosting our podcast! Trust me ;)

@dielan@shitposter.club finally beat FF7 Rebirth and has a lot to say, most of which is not good. After that, we have so many updates on gaming news, from Kotaku's death knells to the latest drama surrounding microtransactions. Grab a beer this one is long.

PALWORLD is the biggest story in gaming right now. We asked the the fedi about this and in today's episode you'll hear about that and more.

Dielan posted this thread on SPC asking people on fedi what their pics were, and we read each one of them out with comments. It was a great time had by all.

Got another job for you 621, I'm sending you episode 75 of the Melonmancy Podcast. Give it a listen.

How can a single year in videogames have so many bangers? Come one come all for an Armored Core veteran's first impressions of AC6, and an Armored Core newcomer's take on the whole game. Dielan will catch up and finish up the game before the next episode, time doesn't grow on trees. Also what is DE smoking with Warframe 1999?

MP#72 - Button Mashy Garbage for Weebs

Sat, 15 Jul 2023 18:56:51 GMT

# Ladies and gentlemen of the court of public opinion, welcome to the trial of Ralph Panebianco

This episode is super delayed to get edited. In this episode we give a detailed first impression of Final Fantasy 16, as well as break down with evidence why ShillUp is totally wrong about this game.

This episode took so long to edit because Dielan went on to finish the game before editing the episode. Just could not put it down.

(Dielan is the editor)

This episode was supposed to come out last week oops

In today's episode (recoded June 6th) The Sony State of Play just happened and today's controversy with Twitch and Reddit had only just started. You can expect updates on those topics in our next episode since things got so much worse after we recorded this. You can also expect our usual ramblings about what we saw at the Sony show, including this bastard of a Marathon reboot. Also fuck Konami.

We promised we wouldn't spend so much time editing these episodes so they would come out on time but our hottakes on this one needed to be extra crisp.

Vast majority of this episode is weighing in on the recent release of Hogwarts Legacy, for the sake of the listeners in 2030 binging our show like some kind of nerd time-capsule we even explained the context!

Big thanks to everybody who tuned into the show. I know 90 THOUSAND PLAYS isn't much by YouTube/corporate media standards but it means alot to us that somebody is listening to our nonsensical ramblings

This episode we welcome back our guests Zerrva (Jordan) and Metalchicken (Robbie) from our OG community. Who help us kick off the year with a look back at what the best new games we played last year were. We also spend a lot of time talking shit about Wizards of the Coast.

This episode was not recorded live as we have made our glorious return to Mumble. Livestreams will resume once @dielan@shitposter.club figures out how to install Icecast. If anybody's done that before please tag him on the fedi. On the bright side this gives us an audio track per person again, enabling us to edit out noise, voice conflicts, and silences. Should make for a better experience than the last two seasons. Not taking the easy way out anymore!

MP#64 - Season Finale

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 01:11:38 GMT

SHOW NOTES

This is a brief set of announcements at the beginning of the recording, followed by about 4 hours of unhinged drunken rambling with multiple guests (Including @dreamcycler@shitposter.club and @helsech@shitposter.club and @ironee212@shitposter.club - thanks so much for coming!)

TL;DR on said announcements:

We are going on vacation again this year. Our next episode will be sometime in January!
You can find out when exactly we will return by following @dielan@shitposter.club or joining our forum
There's no much to see on the forum right now, but we are keeping it up maybe forever so there will be thriving discussion there eventually

No amount of typing on this post about what we talked about this episode will do it justice. If you do choose to listen past the announcements do us a favor and with a modern podcasting app - such as Fountain please make clips of your favorite parts and post them!

See you next year!
