CRUB SUPERMAN (2025) SPOILERCAST - Video version

(I'm posting this before bed, YouTube is taking its time to process this so I'm hoping that by the time most of you see it it's ready)

Hello, I (Chris) edited this but haven't seen Superman. I did it carefully to avoid spoiling myself on actual details of the movie. It was difficult, but I'm a strong soldier. That means I can tell you that I think they liked it? But you'll have to listen ...

Kevin eats watermelon while Chris and Wayne talk about Digimon

We were recorded without consent.

After our DK Bananza spoilercast, we hung out and chatted with Wayneisboss. Me and him got on to talking about Digimon and explaining the X-antibody to him. He didn't care, ate a lot of watermelon, and got an upset stummy from it.

King Drasil would be ashamed.

A serious talk about payment processors and Itch - Crubcast #116

On today's episode we wanted to talk about what's going on with Visa, Mastercard, Itch.io, and potentially more and more storefronts in all mediums in the near future. We get into some sensitive topics, particularly with the discussion around the game called 'No Mercy'. There are chapter marks to skip that section, but there are a few ment...

From crub to you - Late July crubletter

Hello everyone, happy late July. We usually put these out on Mondays, but this time we wanted to go with Wednesday to catch you off guard. I know your eyes keep going to the photo below. We'll get there. It won't be worth it.

It is almost August, which here in the Eastern part of the United States means that we may have afternoons below 90 degrees Fahrenheit soon. And boy, how about those...

Tonight we went over IGN's 2010 best gaming villains list. You are not prepared.

Boolscryption (feat. Brody)

So it's like Boolatro, but with Inscryption instead. Brody RACROX joins Nicco on this. I hear Inscryption is a "best played with no idea what it is" game so I (Chris) haven't actually checked this. It could be anything! They could watch a circus 20 minutes in for all I know. They probably don't do that though. Cowards.
