Abject Suffering

by Duckfeed.tv

This is a podcast that's nominally about bad games. In reality, every Monday, Gary Butterfield and Kaye Ross choose a game at random from the titles submitted by listeners, play it, and venture off on a freeform discussion that winds between the topic at hand and some dumb nonsense.

Abject Suffering 676: DJ Boy

DJ Boy is a beat-em-up on roller skates. Roller blades? No, skates. The most hip-hop conveyance imaginable. That’s because this is a game steeped in a very removed Japane

Abject Suffering 675: Balan Wonderworld

Balan Wonderworld is so infamous that sometimes you wonder if it could actually ever be that bad. Chat, it’s very bad. It ranks right behind chronically mistreating his w

Abject Suffering 674: Whiplash

Portal didn’t invent the story about the banal cruelty of corporate super science, but it sure did it better than Whiplash. You play a weasel who has a rabbit chained to

Abject Suffering 673: Flix and Chill 2 Millennials

We understand why you all voted for Flix and Chill 2: Millennials in our episode poll. Look at that title. Little did you know that it’s also a viciously uninteresting ad

Abject Suffering 672: Powerpuff Girls: Bad Mojo Jojo (GBC)

The Powerpuff Girls was a fine cartoon. It hit a lot of people at the right age, and its groovy 90s aesthetic was instantly iconic. So it probably deserved a better game

Abject Suffering 671: Riddick Bowe Boxing

Riddick Bowe Boxing, known as “Chavez” in some regions, is actually a very good boxing game for the Super Nintendo. So we return to the old topics of boxing in general, h

Abject Suffering 670: Rugrats: Time Travelers

Everyone knows the Rugrats, the hideous Nickelodeon babies who taught us about Passover. Well, they also traveled through time, at least on the GameBoy. And it didn’t tur

Abject Suffering 669: Space Jam

Everybody get up, it’s time to talk about the Space Jam video game now. And it’s just a weak NBA Jam byproduct, with zero cartoony wackiness to be found. We also talk abo

Abject Suffering 668: Phix: The Adventure

Phix is a furby who got magnet powers, and this entire game is an exploration of how to execute on that premise as sorely as possible. But one of the bosses is a big titt

Abject Suffering 667: Bill Laimbeer's Future Basketball

Bill Laimbeer’s Combat Basketball is a game that is so infamous that we’re shocked we haven’t covered it yet. It’s a terrible basketball game about a terrible man, and th

Abject Suffering 666: Hell Pie

Hell Pie is a spiritual successor to Conker’s Bad Fur day, and a successful one! It’s also not very funny because it’s trying too hard to be transgressive. However, the p

Abject Suffering 665: Streamer Life Simulator

Streamer Life Simulator is, believe it or not, streamer slop. An incredibly janky asset flip that tries to skate by on utter charmlessness. It’s also one of many simulato

Abject Suffering 664: Silent Debuggers

We just need to admit that if old people are farting, it's a slippery slope before... you know. We also think children's games are awesome when performed by professional

Abject Suffering 663: Dare Devil Derby 3D

There's not really much to this game, it's a shitty kart racer. We mostly talk how to make bars more quiet.

Abject Suffering 662: Deep Freeze

Deep Freeze is a Japan-only PlayStation Resident Evil clone where you’re fighting terrorists instead of zombies. It’s most noteworthy for its bonkers intro CGI, but there

Abject Suffering 661: Titenic

Very little in the world is funnier than copyright infringement. That’s why the infamous Chinese bootleg game Titenic (spelling intentional) is worth taking a look at. It

Abject Suffering 660: Xenophage Alien Bloodsport

The catalog of DOS games is full of visually impressive experiments that aren’t very fun to play. That’s where we find Xenophage: Alien Bloodsport, a game that is somehow

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Gary and Kole sometimes discuss games of varying quality and spin off into amusing tangents unless the game is secretly good. Mostly, the games are bad and the banter is great.

Tyche Kilbride · Feb 2021

Wacky and often off the rails but you will probably come away entertained. Truthfully, I care more about the off-topic content than the games themselves. Abject Suffering might be my favorite Duckfeed show.

DannyBoy7783 · Jan 2021

Having just gone back and listened to every episode in order, I can honestly say that Abject Suffering is one of the best podcasts, not just on Duckfeed, but in all of podcasts. Many a bad day were saved by Gary and Kole making me laugh till I cried. Give it a listen!

NiceToMeeksYou · May 2020

Start with the KGB episode from Jan/Feb-ish of 2020, it had me in near tears. Otherwise, this show is very funny, worth subscribing to and using it as a great distraction from that long commute.
