Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross express a chilly attitude toward Indigo Prophecy.

It’s the strongest opening in adventure game history: Lucas Kane has murdered a man in cold blood, and he has no idea why. The rest of the game is dedicated to unraveling this mystery… and the answer is disappointing.

An ancient evil awakens, a hero rises from disgrace, and spooky skeletons roam Europe. We’re not sure what foul oversight caused us to wait 50 episodes to talk about a Castlevania game, but here we are. It’s good. Play it. But maybe use save states.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross release an episode about Soul Blazer.

We don’t really have good luck with action RPGs. While Soul Blazer is plenty charming, it’s definitely an early, simplistic take on the genre. Deathtoll has captured all living things, and it’s up to you to save them… but heroism is pretty repetitive.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross touch base on the second half of Deus Ex.

The search for the truth continues, as J.C. Denton defects from UNATCO in order to fight Majestic 12. On the way he will side with the Illuminati, discover “aliens”, and visit as many military bases as possible. The last leg of Deus Ex isn’t an unequivocal win, but it’s still a really great game.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross blow the lid off of the first half of Deus Ex.

Everything you’ve heard is true. The fluoride in your water is intended to keep you docile. Black Helicopters are tracking your grocery habits. And smoking will kill others. Deus Ex is a delightful and terrifying game, where your hero is on the spectrum and all the world is a playground.

It should be noted that this is a Part 1. This episode goes up until you first get to Hong Kong. We will cover everything after that in the next episode.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross chip into a kickflip to talk about both Mario Golf and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2.

We were originally going to talk about Mario Golf 64, but it wasn’t robust enough. So, in a first for the show, we expanded our discussion to the entire series. Our conclusion is that it isn’t Mario enough, and it isn’t golf enough.

Boy do we hope you like music, because the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater discussion is littered with it. There’s little to dislike about this awesome entry in a mostly bad series. Bring the noise.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross sprint through Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

Something about emeralds, something about robots, something about going real fast. There's some measure of debate over what the best Sonic game is, but Sonic 3 and Knuckles is probably the grandest expression of what "Sonic" is all about. We vacilitate for a while before ultimately concluding that the game ain't bad, it just has high highs and low lows.

Note: The sketch at the beginning of this episode is probably one of the funniest, and also most unsettling things we've ever done. Fair warning.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross summon up the courage to talk about the last half of Final Fantasy Tactics.

Ramza is a heretic, and the political intrigue we once knew is being replaced slowly by demon possession. FFT is still an amazing game that we would recommend, but its back nine is decidedly inferior to the front.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross calculate the best way to make a podcast about the first half of Final Fantasy Tactics.

A bitter war of succession, flowery prose, and grid-based combat. In what might be our most technical and considered podcast ever, we dive into the particulars of this storied title to find out exactly why Ramza’s quest has such lasting appeal.
We play up through the end of Chapter 2. The next episode will see us talking about the last half.

Organelles have run amok on New York City! It’s up to you to kill an actress who is possessed by your younger sister or an ancient woman from Africa or something!

You’re Solid Snake. Your twin brother is threatening the world with an unprecedented nuclear walking battle tank made of existing technology. It’s up to you, your codec radio, and hours of cut scenes to save the world as we know it. This game is an utter treat, and it’s understandable that it has such a huge influence over basically everything that follows it.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross give Tomba! a stone age beatdown.

Evil Pigs have taken your grandpa’s watch and cast a curse over the entire world. It’s your job to… Wait, I can’t do this. To treat it seriously would be lying to you. Tomba! is a fondly remembered 2.5D platformer, but WOFF! hated it. Aside from our shared fondness for exclamation marks, there’s nothing to recommend Tomba!. Disagree?

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross grab the sticks and get to the bottom of why arcades are the best.

This episode is in the same vein as Episode 30. Recorded in person, both in-studio and in the field, Gary and Kole talk about arcade experiences in their entirety… from their smoky childhoods to their current-day selves exploring the arcade revival taking place in Portland, Oregon. Special thanks goes out to Ground Kontrol, the best goddamned arcade in Portland.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and the attendees of the Portland Retro Games Expo talk about Super Mario World.

This episode is a bit of a different beast than our previous outings. Normally we play a game, then talk about it, and pepper in your thoughts. For this, we set up a booth at the Portland Retro Games Expo with a CRT TV and an SNES with Super Mario World. We invited anyone who passed to beat a level, then offer their thoughts. The result is an hour of avant garde guerilla podcasting, where people gush about the best Mario game of all time.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross investigate Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers.

It’s no secret: We love adventure games. And we’ve done a lot of them recently. However, we’ve never done a Sierra adventure game, of which Gabriel Knight is probably the best. Funky accents aside, it’s got great dialogue, clever puzzles, and explores a subject that’s been mostly ignored by games: Voodoo.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Ron Gilbert achieve critical mass regarding Maniac Mansion.

In a first for the show, WOFF! has the creator of a game in to talk about it. Maniac Mansion was foundational for both Gary and Kole, and it was a huge honor to have Ron Gilbert onto the show. If you haven’t played Maniac Mansion, shame on you. It’s an amazing point-and-click adventure game that formed the basis of pretty much everything that followed it. This is an unconventional episode, but we really hope you enjoy it.
