2 Episodes [FULL GAME] 10 hours, 46 minutes | A irdate: Jan. 1st, 2021 "GIVE ME LOTS OF WEAPONS THAT ARE POWERFUL AGAINST LIVING THINGS." It’s time for another solo run in the Robot Rick-Op archives as Rick goes head-to-head with one of the weirdest games in the Resident Evil franchise—Resident Evil Gaiden on the Game Boy Color. Yes, that’s right: fixed perspectives, green-tinted graphics, and a bizarre first-person sword-slash combat system on a cruise ship. What could go right? Despite everything going against it—platform limitations, awkward mechanics, and a plot that may or may not involve a shape-shifting bio-weapon named “B.O.W. Steve” (not really, but it feels like it)—Rick actually doesn’t hate it. In fact, by the end of this first stream, there's a hint of genuine respect... or maybe Stockholm Syndrome. Hard to say. It’s classic Resident Evil through a Game Boy-sized keyhole, complete with Barry Burton as the unlikely star, mysterious radio transmissions, and plenty of reasons to keep riffing. If you like cursed handheld horror, this is your moment. GAME BIO: Resident Evil Gaiden is a 2001 action-adventure title for the Game Boy Color, developed by M4 and published by Capcom. Set on a passenger ship overrun by bio-organic weapons, the game stars Barry Burton and introduces a strange hybrid of top-down exploration and timed, first-person combat. Though non-canon, it remains a cult curiosity in the RE timeline—and one of the most ambitious GBC titles ever made.

10 Episodes | Many Hours | A irdate: Dec. 30th, 2020 "WHO DO YA CALL WHEN YOUR HAMSTER SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTS? ROBOT CO-OP, ROBOT CO-OP!" Rick and Cylon break away from their usual retro and survival horror fare to tackle something decidedly mainstream—Rocket League! Trading creepy atmospheres for fast-paced, rocket-powered soccer, the duo dives headfirst into the chaos and, much to everyone’s delight, has an absolute blast. Rick takes to the field with surprising enthusiasm, making clutch saves and (occasionally) scoring goals, while Cylon provides his signature brand of cheery play-by-play commentary. Whether they’re coordinating spectacular plays or accidentally ramming into each other mid-match, the stream is filled with laughter, high-energy action, and some genuinely impressive moments. This departure from their usual fare proves to be a hit, showcasing the duo’s adaptability and their ability to make any game—even a popular one—uniquely hilarious. If you’re in the mood for fast cars, epic goals, and Robot Co-Op’s trademark humor, this Rocket League stream is not to be missed. GAME BIO: Rocket League is a vehicular soccer video game developed and published by Psyonix. The game was first released for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4 in July 2015, with ports for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch being released later on, and a graphics update for Xbox Series X/S in 2020.

1 Episode | 5 hours, 4 minutes | A irdate: Oct. 11th , 2020 "AW CRAP, NOW I GOTTA CHANGE MY T-SHIRT. NAW, I'LL JUST PUT IT INSIDE OUT." JOIN THE MEMBERS-ONLY MEMORY CORE TO WATCH Rick, Pickles, and Flux attempt to make sense of Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within  — a game that boldly asks: “What if a serious supernatural mystery was told entirely through awkward FMV performances and vibes?” Set in a foggy European nightmare of werewolves, accents, and early-90s CD-ROM ambition, the stream quickly drifts into confusion. The plot is dense. The pacing is strange. The acting exists in its own dimension. Then, toward the end, Flux says something. Something so upsetting, so unnecessary, and so deeply incompatible with polite society that the group immediately reacts in horror — followed by laughter — followed by a collective decision to never quote it again ... except here. Rick tries to regain control. Pickles questions reality. Flux stands by whatever it was he said. The game continues but the damage is done. The moment becomes less about solving the mystery of The Beast Within  and more about surviving the knowledge that certain thoughts should never be spoken aloud. Classic Robot Co-Op. GAME BIO: Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within  is a 1995 FMV adventure game that trades pixel art for live-action performances, following author-detective Gabriel Knight as he investigates werewolf legends in Germany. Known for its ambitious presentation, uneven acting, and dense storytelling, the game remains a cult favorite — and a reliable source of unintentional comedy when viewed through a modern lens.

1 Episode | 11 hours, 26 minutes | A irdate: Oct. 21st , 2020 "THIS IS PRETTY SPOOKY GUYS , NGL." Rick, Pickles, and Cylon step into the haunted world of Phasmophobia, armed with ghost-hunting tools, nerves of steel (sort of), and a microphone to communicate with the dead. This co-op horror game tests their ability to work together—or fall apart hilariously—as they investigate paranormal activity in a variety of creepy locations. Rick tries to keep the team focused and out of the ghost’s crosshairs, while Pickles dives headfirst into danger, daring the spirits to show themselves. Cylon provides sarcastic commentary, questioning every decision and attempting to reason with the ghosts—usually with unintentionally hilarious results. The game’s voice recognition mechanics bring an extra layer of immersion (and chaos), as the crew experiments with what they can say to provoke the spirits. GAME BIO: Phasmophobia is a 4 player online co-op psychological horror. Paranormal activity is on the rise and it’s up to you and your team to use all the ghost hunting equipment at your disposal in order to gather as much evidence as you can.

1 Episode | 6 hours, 14 minutes | A irdate: Oct. 28th, 2020 "I KNOW I'M NOT MISTAKEN WHEN I SMELL BURNING HAIR AND BACON." Rick, Flux, and Cylon dive into Little Hope, the latest installment in Supermassive’s Dark Pictures Anthology, only to find themselves trapped in a slow-paced and underwhelming horror experience. What starts as cautious excitement quickly devolves into boredom, as the game struggles to deliver on the scares, intrigue, or engaging storytelling that fans of the series were hoping for. Rick does his best to keep the group on track, but even his determination can’t save the painfully slow pacing and repetitive choices. Flux critiques the game’s overly serious tone and lackluster writing, while Cylon delivers biting commentary on the wooden character animations and predictable plot twists. With little hope for improvement (pun fully intended), the crew leans into their signature humor, turning the stream into a roast of Little Hope’s missed potential. Whether you’re here to see a horror game dissected or just to laugh along with the gang’s growing exasperation, this stream offers plenty of entertainment—despite the game itself. GAME BIO: The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is a 2020 interactive drama and survival horror video game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the second game of the first season of The Dark Pictures Anthology.

1 Episode | 2 hours, 28 minutes | A irdate: Oct. 25th, 2020 "THIS LOOKS LIKE AN OVERLY DECORATIVE TIRE AIR PRESSURE CHECKER." Rick, Flux, and Cylon take on Amnesia: Rebirth, hoping for a chilling survival horror experience—but instead find themselves trapped in a slow, plodding slog. With minimal scares and a meandering narrative, the game quickly loses its grip on the crew, leading to some of their most hilariously sarcastic commentary yet. Rick does his best to push through the game’s puzzles and exposition-heavy moments, while Flux critiques the lack of tension and atmosphere, dubbing it “Amnesia: Sleep Mode.” Cylon, meanwhile, provides biting quips about the game’s tendency to drag every moment to an excruciating crawl. Despite their boredom, the trio’s commentary keeps the stream entertaining, as they riff on the game’s underwhelming scares, overly dramatic voice acting, and missed opportunities for horror greatness. If you’ve ever wanted to see Amnesia dissected with razor-sharp humor, this stream is a must-watch.

JOIN THE MEMBERS-ONLY MEMORY CORE TO WATCH Rick, Pickles, and Cylon cleanse their gaming palettes after the melodrama of Gabriel Knight 2 with the high-energy chaos of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. This hack-and-slash prequel to Breath of the Wild brings the action, with waves of enemies, explosive combat, and plenty of opportunities for the crew to unleash their inner warriors. Rick takes the lead, slicing through hordes of Bokoblins and Lizalfos while marveling at the game’s slick visuals and fast-paced mechanics. Pickles focuses on wreaking havoc with over-the-top special moves, dubbing them “Hyrule’s answer to fireworks,” while Cylon delights in the ridiculous scale of the battles and roasts every overly serious cutscene.

1 Episode | 6 hours, 34 minutes | A irdate: Nov. 29th, 2020 "YOU GUYS GETTIN' YOUR MBAS OR SOMETHIN'? COOOOL!" [FART NOISES] Rick, Flux, and Cylon dive into Yakuza: Like a Dragon, eager to experience the series' signature blend of over-the-top action and quirky humor. What starts off as a promising introduction to Ichiban Kasuga's story quickly devolves into an endless marathon of chatty cutscenes and crime drama, leaving the crew longing for more gameplay and fewer monologues. Rick valiantly tries to stay engaged with the dialogue-heavy narrative, while Flux can’t help but mock the excessive exposition and melodramatic plot twists. Meanwhile, Cylon delivers biting commentary about the lack of action, asking, “Is this a game or a very poorly edited movie?” Though the gameplay moments are few and far between, the gang makes the best of it with their trademark humor and relentless roasting of every awkward pause and drawn-out explanation.

1 Episode | 2 hours, 35 minutes | A irdate: Dec. 6th, 2020 "WONDER AROUND IN THE WOODS AND REMEMBER YOUR STUPID DEAD WIFE." JOIN THE MEMBERS-ONLY MEMORY CORE TO WATCH It’s time to dim the lights and crank up the confusion in this Members-Only Memory Core exclusive, where Rick, The Picklenaught (Pickles 2.0), and Cylon take on the eerie, awkward, and frequently baffling horror title: Those Who Remain. What starts as a seemingly standard psychological horror trip through dark, empty streets quickly spirals into light-based puzzles, moral judgment segments, and a narrative that’s trying very hard to be Silent Hill, Alan Wake, and a meaningful metaphor all at once—with mixed results. The gang does their best to survive not only the shadow monsters, but the game’s abrupt tonal shifts, hilariously stiff animations, and dialogue that could use a flashlight of its own. It’s a one-and-done dive into indie horror purgatory—awkward, atmospheric, and just cryptic enough to fuel a full stream of Robot Co-Op nonsense. GAME BIO: Those Who Remain is a psychological horror game developed by Camel 101, set in the cursed town of Dormont where darkness is deadly and morality is… graded? Players must navigate surreal environments, avoid shadow-dwelling entities, and make “choices” that impact the story—though what those choices mean is up for debate. Moody, weird, and janky in just the right places, it’s a perfect candidate for a Robot Co-Op roast.

1 Episode | 57 minutes | A irdate: Dec. 2nd, 2020 "YOU'RE AS HARD AS GRANITE, JANET!" JOIN THE MEMBERS-ONLY MEMORY CORE TO WATCH Wrapping up a long day of streaming, Rick and Cylon dive into the quirky world of Maize, a surreal adventure game about sentient corn and a very confused protagonist. While their time with the game is brief, the bizarre humor and offbeat premise leave a lasting impression—and provide plenty of material for the duo’s signature commentary. Rick takes the reins, navigating the game’s whimsical environments and scratching his head at the absurd puzzles, while Cylon gleefully roasts everything from the talking corn’s strange personalities to the nonsensical plot. Together, they turn this quick look into a laugh-filled exploration of one of the weirdest games they’ve encountered. Whether you’re here for the corn puns, the surreal humor, or just to see Rick and Cylon unravel after a long broadcast day, this short but sweet stream is a kernel of pure entertainment. GAME BIO: Maize is a first-person adventure game about what happens when two scientists misinterpret a memo from the U.S. Government and create sentient corn. And that last sentence is pretty much the least ridiculous thing about the game.

1 Episode | 1 hour, 39 minutes | A irdate: Dec. 9th, 2020 "WHAT IF STEVEN WRIGHT PLAYED SANTA CLAUS IN A MOVIE?" JOIN THE MEMBERS-ONLY MEMORY CORE TO WATCH In this nostalgic battle royale gone bananas, Rick and Cylon jump into the madness that is Super Mario 35, the now-defunct online Mario deathmatch where 35 players enter, and only one plumber survives. Rick comes shockingly close to victory in this wild ride through randomized Mario mayhem, stomping koopas, dodging fire bars, and accidentally sending Bullet Bills to strangers in the digital void. Cylon provides real-time analysis and sarcasm, while Rick tries to keep it together under the relentless assault of nostalgia and mushroom-fueled panic. It’s tense, it’s chaotic, and it’s exactly the kind of game Nintendo would remove from existence for no reason. Let’s-a-go… before it’s gone again. GAME BIO: Super Mario Bros. 35 was a limited-time online multiplayer platformer developed by Arika and Nintendo for the Switch, released to celebrate Mario’s 35th anniversary. Players raced through classic Mario levels while sending defeated enemies into other players’ games—last plumber standing wins. Sadly, it was removed from the eShop in 2021 because Nintendo hates fun.

1 Episode | 1 hour, 13 minutes | A irdate: Dec. 6th, 2020 "IF YOU'RE GONNA SAY 'BOOM BOOM', YOU BETTER PRESENT A 'BOOM 'BOOM'!" JOIN THE MEMBERS-ONLY MEMORY CORE TO WATCH Put on your wrist straps and prepare for pain—Rick and Cylon step into the ring (sort of) with Fitness Boxing 2, the Nintendo Switch rhythm-fitness hybrid that asks the hard-hitting question: What if your personal trainer was way too chipper while kicking your ass? As Rick tries to follow the rapid-fire combos while Cylon analyzes the robotic competition, the stream turns into a flurry of flailing punches, missed steps, and robotic sass. The upbeat music and overly encouraging instructors can’t mask the sweat—or the mounting existential dread of being outboxed by a virtual coach named Lin. Between the cardio chaos and the commentary breakdowns, this might be the most exhausting Robot Co-Op stream yet—and that’s saying something. GAME BIO: Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise is a rhythm-based fitness game developed by Imagineer for the Nintendo Switch. Players jab, hook, and uppercut to the beat in full-body workouts led by a cast of animated trainers. It’s part cardio session, part rhythm game, and part guilt trip wrapped in neon gradients and endless encouragement.
