    22/04/2018 Duration: 03h18min

    Buckle in for another lengthy intro as Rich Talks about becoming a father and just how many Final Fantasy VII games he played while on Paternity leave (spoilers, he played all of them). Plus more Dissidia NT talk as Jake finally has had some hands on time with the game! FFX-2 talk starts around the 42 min mark (I told you, lots of Baby, FFVII and Dissidia talk!) Jake, Rich, Yuna, Rikku and Paine (Or JRYRP for short) continue their run through the often unfairly maligned Final Fantasy X-2. Side quests galore, an incredibly douchey Ronso, who are the Rednecks of Spira, Rich finding any excuse to mention Sephiroth (look I just did right there), Yuna putting on a somewhat awkward pop concert, and more eyebrow raising fashion await on the latest delightful delectable delicacy delivered directly dubbed DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN CHOCOBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    17/02/2018 Duration: 03h18min

    Jake's 3rd attendance of a Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert and Rich's first few days experience playing Dissidia Final Fantasy NT for PS4 take up a lengthy chunk of the beginning of the episode (and hey, for off topic nonsense its FF relevant for once!). FFX-2 talk starts at the 52 min mark (I wasn't kidding! It was a lot of Distant Worlds and Dissidia talk!) After spending ages talking about other Final Fantasy goodness the guys begin a relatively controversial game in the Final Fantasy cannon, Final Fantasy X-2. The return of a class system being awesome, is the change back to ATB being welcome, what is up with the girls style of dress, how the heck does Leblanc's dress stay on, do the guys like the "mission" structure, what the hell is up with Brother, AND who is the superior choice between the Youth League and New Yevon await on the next poppy, scantily clad, feminine empowering happy fun times we call Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn Chocoboooooooo Music for the Episode Intro: FFX-2 Eternity - Memory of Lightwa

  • Damn Chocobo Ep. 69: Mortal Kombat 1, 2, and 3

    05/01/2018 Duration: 02h42min

    NOTE: If you want to skip the "idiots playing and sucking at Mortal Kombat while swearing a lot" section of the show feel free to go to the 1:35:00 time on the show to skip all that and get to the standard format part of the show. Its that time of year again when our boys spend an hour or so playing a classic game really badly and cursing a lot before talking about how great the game really is because they are too drunk to say otherwise. Do you like Mortal Kombat? Hows about MK2? Really? You dig that one too? Hows about MK3? Oh come on! Its not that bad! Seriously though, buckle up as Jake and Rich drink a lot and proceed to play the first 3 Mortal Kombat games. How terrible are they at these games? Is Sub Zero the best? How much does Jake hate Johnny Cage? Is Baraka really the worst? (Spoilers - he totally is) Which version of Smoke is the best? Does Jax need metal arms to be awesome? How much is the computer a cheap ass piece of shit? And most importantly - which one of the boys is better in at the game??

Plot finally kicks into overdrive! Kairi finally has some more screen time! Ansem reports! Did you read them? We didn't (at first anyway)! Do you like bosses finally getting hard? Because one half of Damn Chocobo does! Do you like endgame side content?!?!? Do you like arguably way too detailed descriptions of what we did to level up the various Forms??!!? Well buckle up because you're getting it anyway! Do you like Sephiroth? Because one of us apparently really really still digs that mamas boy! Because Rich apparently really likes grinding out optional side content - much to the chagrin of Jake. All this and lots and lots of wonderful JRPG and Disney drama, pulling at your heart-strings and testing your limits of dis-belief aaaaaall on that wonderful but small world (after all) we cal

    03/12/2017 Duration: 02h29min

    Kingdom Hearts Talk begins at around the 20 min mark. Jake and Rich realize they bit off more than they can chew by trying to finish wrap up the game in one more episode only to realize that Sora, Donald and the Goof Bro needed TWO more episodes to properly send this bitch off. Join our heroes as they struggle through non-sequiters and tripping over our own words to finally talk about the "Battle of 1000 Heartless", discuss how awesome (or not awesome) the appearance of a certain One Winged Angel is, find numerous bosses that feel very similar to the great Shadow of the Colossus, debate on if certain boss mechanics are just dated or are bad, and break down why most combat in KH2 is really easy in comparison to its predecessor and numerous other games in the genre.
