This week, ShadoSpartan wants you to know that not every hard game is hard for the right reasons—some were tough just because of clunky design or straight-up bad programming, not because they were really testing our skill. But what about the games that do get clever with challenging the player? When does harder actually mean better? Is Easy Mode a valid way to go through life?

Join the Time Pals as they dive deep into the art of difficulty in gaming:

👉 Why bullet sponge enemies are gaming’s laziest trick
👉 Did a harder difficulty ever force you to change your style?
👉 Which impossible games finally got conquered decades later?

And find out why ShadoSpartan Gets Hard for Hard Games

This week the Time Pal return from their summer break and are immediately captured by ADHD addled co-host Nickell who turned the Time Pals studio into his own twisted game show. It’s Time Pal vs Time Pal as they must answer questions such as:

🤔 Would you get a facial tattoo of his face to save his life?
🐴 Would you kill a pony to erase an embarrassing moment?
💨 Would you rather control farts… or only have telekinesis when someone else lets one rip?

Tune in for the madness — and maybe rethink who you’d want on your team when asked “Would you rather lose your sight or your hearing, and if you knew a month in advance, how would you prepare?” We guarantee you the answer isn’t what you’d think.

This week, the Time Pals celebrate our first year as a geek dad team—just in time for our month-long summer break (and, regrettably, to give Underscore a reprieve from producing our unique brand of chaos).
From questions born of an ADHD mind, to AI-generated improv adventure stories, cruelly forgotten movie and video game gems, and an array of awesome guest hosts, the Time Pals look back on their favorite moments (and arguments!)—and ponder just how much nerdier we can get for the rest of the year.

A fun and goofy episode? Probably.
A self-serving, cheap, quick-hit? You betcha!
