Ever wonder how a $400 million game can flop harder than a broken joystick? This week, Underscore, Jon Powell, and ShadoSpartan dive headfirst into the most infamous, unhinged, and spectacularly bad video game marketing campaigns of all time.

From Romero’s legendary Daikatana trash talk to Mercenaries gas riots, Dante’s Inferno’s deadly sins, and Acclaim’s completely feral “Extreme Era,” your Time Pals revisit a greatest-hits collection of corporate overconfidence—including failed hype machines and just how much money can be set on fire by a major company in a handful of years (BOOMSHAKALA!).

Listen now and cringe with us everywhere you get your podcasts.
