Just yell it.  You know you want to.   The Raw Dogs are joined by the absolutely wonderful Ben from Where Have You Ben?, Matt from BetterIn3d, and super special guest Dat Dabbing B*tch! So it turns out the original 2 Mortal Kombat movies are pretty crazy.  The one thing that we all agree on is Jax is the only voice of reason in Annihilation.  Never underestimate the power of the human spirit.   Like and subscribe.

Look, we think video games are pretty cool. But sometimes even our favorite games do "things" that make them really, really hard to love. So today we welcome you to this brand new episode of The Dogcast where we celebrate our love of video games with a little bit of fun--and mildly cathartic--group therapy! This week we discuss, yell, opine, lament, and drink delicious beer through many of the things that video games do that have annoyed, irked, frustrated, and made us wonder "Who thought THAT was a good idea?" through the years. And WHY do they continue to do these things??! Oh, and you're invited! Come commiserate with us! We also discuss some recent decisions made by Sony that on the surface seem a bit dubious and not consumer focused. Is there trouble brewing within the Playstation empire? Or is the company on the right track? The answer might be (lame pun alert!) Dual-Shocking! Times: 05:35 - What We're Playing! 23:00 - News! 1:32:00 - TOPIC OF THE SHOW: Dear Video Games, Please Stahhhp! Let us know w

It's a Dogcast Greatest Hit!  This week we bring you this Classic Episode of The Dogcast, straight from the vault...and it's a personal fave of ours! Not only do we cover the Assassin's Creed franchise, but it marks Dylan's (a.k.a. "Doctor D", a.k.a. "The Quinine Cowboy") FIRST-EVER appearance on the show! It was the day The full Dogcast crew assembled!  This episode originally aired Aug. 9th, 2019. Normally we would be celebrating the release of a brand new episode of The Dogcast. And we swear, it would have been the BEST EPISODE EVER. EVER, WE SAY! Ok, that's maybe juuuuust a little too much hyperbole. However, due to circumstances beyond our control we were unable to get the new episode recorded in time. We apologize, but hey, sometimes things happen.   But please enjoy this classic episode. And we'll be back with a brand new Dogcast in two weeks! Contact Us!
