Friday the 13th

Guess what? Halloween episode! Bet you guys saw this one coming.

The Dudes screw up this week and use up their Friday the 13th game on a day not labeled Friday the 13th... Oh well, at least it is Friday.

Now the big question on the table is whether this game is any count. Here's a hint: It's made by LJN.

*SPOILERS* Michael and Justin aren't huge fans of this one. However, it is still a great episode (the dud games usually are) and we hope you enjoy it. Does this game really live up to its hype of being terribly awful?

Shovel Knight

Bo bo bo bonus episode!!!! The Dudes gather together round the fire with some other dudes and talk about the NES classic... Shovel Knight. Oh wait! This isn't a classic NES game. It's a new game. Why would the Dudes be talking about this one?

Shovel Knight might be a new game, but it's brimming over with classic NES nostalgia. Much like the 2 Dudes and a NES podcast, Shovel Knight is a true love letter to the Nintendo Entertainment System. Justin and Michael truly feel like it needs to be talked about. Well, Justin hasn't actually played it yet, but that's why the Dudes brought on some guests. Nick Stephens (NES Podcast, Genesis Gems) and Rob McCalllum (Nintendo Quest) help flesh out this awesome discussion of Shovel Knight.

Kid Icarus

This week the dudes get their mythology on with Kid Icarus. Kid Icarus was a famous game that was brought into the gaming world by none other that Nintendo's R&D 1. Much like other games brought to the NES from R&D 1 (ahem.... Metroid), Kid Icarus brings a lot of fun, frustration and ultimately enjoyment.

In the show the guys talk about their experiences playing this game and their many frustrations. They also bring in many tangents as usual. The show also features a few embarrassing moments, that the listener will enjoy.

There is also a quiz game that puts Justin on the spot this time , with horrible results. The Dudes love talking this NES classic and we hope that you enjoy the show as much.

Happy listening

Dude Story: An NES Bromance

Have you ever wanted to know the story of how Justin and Michael met? Or how their relationship flourished? No? Really??

Well, the dudes are going to tell you anyway. Michael is in the process of moving and has all of his NES stuff packed away. No games to play. No accessories with which to tinker. But instead of skipping this week's episode, the dudes have decided to record an episode about mostly nothing. Enjoy!
