Watch Out for Fireballs 525: Ogre Battle 64 (Part 2)
Ep 525 · Aug 13, 2026 · 1 hr 44 min
This week we continue our discussion of Ogre Battle 64, a sprawling and mysterious strategy game that eventually sheds the need for using strategy all together. It’s also a story of revolution that stops being about a revolution partway through. This leaves us in the frustrating position of wanting to like it more than we actually do. Thanks again Will for executive producing this! Our highlighted project for this week is the creator Mech Amalia, who reviews Gunpla and plays games on her YouTube…
Watch Out For Fireballs 524: Ogre Battles 64 (Part 1)
Ep 524 · Aug 6, 2026 · 2 hr 16 min
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber was a big game that many, including us, missed out on. It’s a followup to a cult classic RTS for the SNES, and it follows Magnus Gallant, a young noble who ends up leading a revolution against his own kingdom. This is a strange game mostly known for its obscure mechanics, but it’s very much in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre in its story and presentation. This episode covers the game’s generalities, the prologue, and the first chapter.…

Watch Out for Fireballs Dispatch: Q3 Roundup
Jul 30, 2026 · 59 min
We spilled these answers everywhere. What a mess. Somebody is going to have to clean this up.
[PREVIEW] Watch Out For Fireballs 523: Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Ep 523 · Jul 23, 2026 · 5 min
But what if Mario were... surreal? Going back to the original design intentions of the Super Mario Bros., Nintendo delivers a game where Mario gets... a little weird. The only downside is that these little shits talk too much.
Watch Out For Fireballs 522: Parodius
Ep 522 · Jul 16, 2026 · 1 hr 13 min
Specifically, Parodius! From Myth to Laughter. We've been itching to revisit the Schmup genre and this seemed like a perfect fit. Originally a parody of Gradius, it really just proves that Schmups are really easy to just think about the game in terms of a wireframe.
Watch Out For Fireballs 521: Grunn
Ep 521 · Jul 9, 2026 · 1 hr 5 min
If it looks like a horror game and quacks like a horror game, it's probably a horror game. Disguising itself (slightly) as a cozy simulator, Grunn is a gardening time loop game about solving micro mysteries in the Dutch countryside. It's neat! It's snack!
Watch Out For Fireballs 520: Neon White
Ep 520 · Jul 2, 2026 · 2 hr 20 min
They're called neons, sinners plugged from hell to do God's dirty work. But it's hard to believe they're in heaven. Old friends, ex lovers... only one of them can stay in heaven and White has a score to settle. Producer Gwen joins Kaye to discuss this speed-run focused platforming/visual novel hybrid. We like it! With some caveats.

Watch Out For Fireballs 518: Loop Hero
Ep 518 · Jun 11, 2026 · 1 hr 17 min
You make your decision to listen a podcast, you listen while you do not move, you die. You make another decision to listen to a different episode. Yet again, you do not move. You die. But at least you have a few of the meta resources you need to live a little bit longer. This is kind of what playing Loop Hero is like.
Watch Out For Fireballs 517: Arcade Special 4
Ep 517 · Jun 4, 2026 · 1 hr 40 min
Ah, the arcade. The once-only home of video games has become a nostalgia center for the old at heart. We explore the still extant arcade scene and see what's out there that we're less familiar with. It's still a fairly robust scene!

[PREVIEW] Watch Out for Fireballs 516: Rage
Ep 516 · May 21, 2026 · 46 min
What would it take for id to make a game that's so unremarkable, we barely remember it exists? Rage is here to answer that question. Chasing so many trends, Rage barely feels like a game at all some times. Paired with it's non-descript name, it was almost destined to be forgotten.
Watch Out for Fireballs 515: Rimworld
Ep 515 · May 14, 2026 · 1 hr 55 min
How far are you willing to go to make sure humanity survives on an off-Earth colony? Embracing player empowerment to design their own experience, Rimworld wants to meet you exactly where you're at. Watch the hours melt away as Rimworld invites you into its warm embrace. And here's Juno's work! https://junoryleejournalism.com/
Watch Out for Fireballs! 514: The Last Spell
May 7, 2026 · 1 hr 20 min
The Last Spell is an intricate tactical RPG with a roguelite structure that could possibly become your forever game. By day you build a base, and by night to fight to protect it from vast hordes of mutant zombies. We reflect on why something that feels like it was made for us in a lot of ways might fall short of becoming a new obsession.

We empty the backlog! That's it! We're out of questions! That probably means you have to send more.

[PREVIEW] Watch Out For Fireballs 513: Resident Evil Requiem
Apr 23, 2026 · 40 min
Our (collective) favorite video game series is back! Nine entries deep and we're still having a blast playing as Leon Kennedy and series newcomer Grace Ashcroft. This time we're investigating a mysterious sickness that seems to be haunting the survivors of the Raccoon City incident.
Watch Out For Fireballs 512: Halo Wars
Ep 512 · Apr 16, 2026 · 1 hr 43 min
So many master chiefs! Halo returns in this RTS spin-off, where the war against the flood takes a slightly different perspective. Can you stop the primordial forces trying to destroy the universe? Probably not seeing as there's more Halo games after this.
Watch Out For Fireballs 510: We Love Katamari
Ep 510 · Apr 9, 2026 · 1 hr 18 min
It's true, we loved Katamari! And now it's back, bigger and more sticky than ever. Gary is joined by Liv Butterfield (no relation) this week to discuss the direct sequel to the beloved Katamari Damacy.
Watch Out For Fireballs 510: Dead Space 2
Ep 510 · Apr 2, 2026 · 2 hr 14 min
Everyone's favorite sci-fi idiot is back and this time there are MORE zombies or whatever. Dead Space 2 iterates on the rough edges of Dead Space 1, but it does it ultimately move the needle? The game remains as dedicated as ever to it's third-person in-world HUD, but we must question whether that actually makes things any scarier.

Watch Out For Fireballs 508: Donkey Kong Country 2
Ep 508 · Mar 12, 2026 · 1 hr 27 min
It's Diddy Kong's turn to take over the spot light, and he has one advantage that his brother Donkey Kong never had... true love. He is joined by his girlfriend, Dixie, and she can fly! Donkey Kong Country 2 looks a bit ugly nowadays, but it's still a fundamental entry in the 2D platformer genre.
Watch Out For Fireballs 507: The Final Station
Ep 507 · Mar 5, 2026 · 1 hr 49 min
Fight your life in this under the radar train management/zombie survival game, The Final Station. You are the conductor of a train, the world is a dystopia after an alien invasion and you are forced to deal with some real moral dilemmas. Dare you fight on?

Watch Out For Fireballs 505: Mega Man X4
Ep 505 · Feb 12, 2026 · 1 hr 26 min

Ep 504 · Feb 5, 2026 · 1 hr 20 min
Get over here! It's time to discuss one of the culturally important games of our lifetimes: Mortal Kombat! While this episode does use MKII as a focus point, this is largely about the series as a whole and it's impact. Get your fatalities ready!

[PREVIEW] Watch Out For Fireballs 503: RoboCop: Rogue City
Ep 503 · Jan 22, 2026 · 42 min
What if a Robot was also a Cop? Well, he's not actually a robot. More like a cyborg. RoboCop is one of the great 80s franchises, and he's back in this FPS with strong RPG elements! It's not a perfect game, but it delivers on the unique humor that is RoboCop.
Duckfeed State of the Union 2026
Jan 16, 2026 · 20 min
This information is presented as both a written post, and as a short podcast episode where we talk about our reasoning. IntroductionHello Patrons and well-wishers: we’re here to report that the Duckfeed state of the union is strong, and we have some announcements about changes. Normally we do these in December, but Circumstances conspired to delay things a bit. Something we really love about this job is that we have the freedom to periodically reevaluate how we do things, and make changes to kee…
