    Video Game Ahh Movies ft. bansheebeat
    2026/09/02

    This week on Brain Lords aren’t some movies more fun to describe as video games than as movies? John McClane gains the ability to travel through vents while unlocking shortcuts through the elevator. He gets new weapons like a machine gun to take on a boss at the top of a tower. Action? No no no this is a Metroidvania. Returning guest bansheebeat unleashes her letterboxd so we might decorate the criterion closet with a few Amiibo.

    Riff - Run Lola Run is the all-timer

    Paper Dawn - this is a really weird pick, but the old animated movie the Phantom Tollbooth is kinda structured like an RPG. Similar to how Wizard of Oz is also kinda lol

    Hazy Maze Cave -Two video game ass movies: Hundreds of Beavers Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

    Pk Play - Edge of Tomorrow (the "Live. Die. Repeat" movie). Every cycle for the main characters feels like respawning in a super challenging level that you have to play over and over again

    Alex R - Sucker Punch - is essentially a couple video game levels stitched together by showgirls-esqe cut scenes

    Mina - Blue Beetle - Okay, ignoring the fact he pulls out the Buster Sword and Scorpion's moves, "Jaime gets an alien artifact and defeats various isms with the power of family and friendship - and an alien weapon - after a major death " is SUCH a JRPG plot.

    Bowloflentis - The first movies that come to mind are The Raid: Redemption and Dredd, which are both just about the protagonist making their way through a level to fight the boss at the end.

    deandelossantos1645 - After watching "Project Hail Mary," I couldn't help but be reminded of "Friend-slop" games. While reading the book, I felt like I was being given unskippable tutorial pop-ups every time they'd flashback. The first game I played after the movie was "Heavenly Bodies" which I'd argue is like reinstalling Deus Ex after someone mentions it.

    Morally Gray Gaming ft. Shannon Strucci
    2026/08/19
    This week on Brain Lords we discuss all the vile and wicked things we love to do (in Minecraft). After all, aren't you just following the rules if a game is allowing you to be evil? Returning guest Shannon Strucci joins us in reconciling if the morally ambiguous things we can only safely do in games are meant to stick with us after the game turns off. You wouldn't whack a Whacka would you, Mario? Questions, Comments, Suggestions?

I was also specializing in energy weapons. This led me early to the Silver Rush and the Van Graffs. I got through all the first missions to join their gang, and then they sent me on the mission to find Cass and bring her there. I had to use Speech to convince Cass to join me, learned her entire tragic backstory, and got very endeared to her. When they vaporized her on sight when I brought her in, I was so angry in character that I immediately decided I was burning it all down then and there. This took a LOT of save scumming because I wasn't very strong yet, but I managed to kill all the Van Graffs. A wild moment where I learned that even when trying to be morally grey, I have my fucking limits. Bugs Maytrix- Dawg i play infect in commander. im saturday morning cartoon evil. how can i be even more evil? No- Undertale, like many games, is a morality scam. You're offered three paths over multiple playthroughs where first time around your choices don't affect the outcome and the npcs break the fourth wall to imply you the player are immoral to roleplay a child constantly defending themselves from deadly attacks as a monster for fighting back with maximum violence. I mean there's a point there, but plenty of games do give you actual moral choices to make, including the dubious decisions made when roleplaying an asshole. Personally I'm hoping there will one day be a sweet spot between all the mass-murdering shooters and moralizing railroading rpgs that.. oh I guess I have to make a game now. TastyLlama- The choices of who to accuse/exile/execute in Paradise Killer are really interesting, considering objectively (maybe, probably?) both you and everyone you know should probably die Lil Diggity- In most games, being evil is meant to be fun, sometimes more fun than being good. Baldur's Gate 3, for example, is extremely robust in how it lets evil player characters lean into being cartoonishly evil just for the fun of it without ruining their gameplay experience. Undertale, on the other hand, is one of the few games I've played that intentionally makes its evil route miserable and anti-fun. There's room for both approaches, but is there one that you prefer?
