This time we’re talking Dr. Dre, the hilarious existence of bitcoin, using the internet to justify paying people to complete housework for you, culturally significant television, what caused a 19-year-old Chris to beat up his parents’ house, the science of sleep, whether or not mattresses accumulate dead parts of living people, why Eric is on perscription medication, sacrificing chocol...[Read More]

Here it is, a sorry two months after it was recorded, Flap Jaw Space’s end-of-the-year deliberations of the best videogames released in 2013. Includes hot and timely discussion of Super Mario 3D World, A Link Between Worlds, and The Wonderful 101. Along the way we discuss what Steve would do if he owned Nintendo, the legitimacy of the Histocrats, if there are things other than crackers that ...[Read More]
While not officially existing, Peak Weirdness dates somewhere around 2001 to 2004 – or roughly when a commercialized Internet was at its most lawless and insane. YTMND’s had just taken off, complete nonsense Flash shorts (centralized at Newgrounds.com) were blowing people away, and thanks to high-speed Internet connections and file sharing networks, Americans were finally being exposed...[Read More]
Metro 2033 produced the closest thing to a pulse the first-person shooter genre’s felt since Call of Duty 4 and BioShock rewrote the rules in 2007. Individual results may vary, but the campaigns for subsequent entries in those landmark games seemed to do little other than amplify ideas established by their predecessors, and it’s not like Killzone, Resistance, or Crysis set the world in...[Read More]
Binary Domain demands a certain audience. The ideal player should be savvy enough to recognize when a Japanese development team forgoes natural inspiration in favor of creating a game intended to appeal to a Western demographic. For a significant portion of this console generation, cover-based third person shooters were hot, so Tecmo and Team Tachyon responded with the Quantum Theory. Quantum Theo...[Read More]

I decided to go with a different theme for my annual year-end game list. The best game I played this year was Dark Souls. I could drone endlessly about how that game obliterated and reconstructed my soul in a myriad of effective ways and then go on to declare it god-emperor of interactive entertainment ten times over, but Dark Souls came out in 2011 and it’s a 2013 list. Despite its twenty-s...[Read More]

It’s that time of day week month every-other-month again as Flap Jaw Space, the Digital Chumps Podcast, makes another elusive apperance. This time we’re no longer in Steve’s parent’s basement, but rather in the relative safety of his brand new home. Spirited discourse surrounding Super Mario 3D World, Need for Speed: Rivals, Sonic Lost World, Grand Theft Auto...[Read More]
The results are in and the critics have spoken: Flap Jaw Space is the internet’s most delicious podcast. This time, we’re all in on Rayman Legends, Wind Waker HD, Divekick, Outlast and the Wonderful 101. In case you were wondering, we don’t stay on topic (ever). Nonetheless, the gang is all here, and we’re also dabbling in things like lost megahertz and things that are French and also good. Don’t ...[Read More]
Well hey there guys. I know what you’re thinking, “hey the last time there was a Flap Jaw Space podcast update it was for Episode 63 and six months ago, what gives”? I’m glad you asked! The answer is something broke. We fixed it now, probably. Please listen to Episode 69, “Blatantly Nintendo-Ass” to hear Chris, Steve, and Eric discuss Gone Home, Earthbound, Pape...[Read More]
