Season 5, Episode 3: The Winter Spectacular

It wouldn't be E3 without TZ's sardonic musings. Listen to the boys' takes on this year's show. Try and guess the combined number of hours of Treehouse watched by TZ. Hint: it's almost triple digits.

After a well earned sabbatical, the guys are back enlightened, refreshed, and ready to kick off Season 9 of Tapezilla. On the docket: fearing Windows 10's aggressiveness, avoiding smalltalk/terrorists, The X-Files, and a hypothetical sciencing the shit out of Tinder.

Drac is absent after a life-altering event, leaving Beav and RJ to fend off another Pete cycle. Time is ticking for one of the boys, while another discovers the true meaning of a "knuckle sandwich".

The boys get into a heated debate, and one of them makes an outrageous promise. Beav takes no prisoners, and Pete makes a blunder that will haunt him for life. Don't miss this one--it's sure to be a classic.

No topic's off limits in this week's TZ. Pete's shocking revelation of gaming past rocks the crew, while Beav makes a discovery that makes us all question his existence. All this and more in a brand-spankin'-new TZ.

Better late than never, this TZ runs the emotional gamut. The full crew returns to ponder the evolutionary history of the wang and explore its relationship to family politics. An update on #tobleronegate leads to new show lore, but not before first taking a dark and somber turn.

Beav's Destiny-related tardiness occupies the first portion of this week's episode, and Drac, Peter, and RJ discuss Monster Hunter. Drac tags Beav in, and the guys touch on Bloodborne, The Order, indie games Hunger and Megaton Rainfall, and the finer points surrounding the legality of unauthorized sequels to old school games.

The boys are excited about something involving nipples and masks (not what you think), the KKK (not what you think), and what $2,000 will get you from Carrie Fisher (not what you think). All this, Honey Nut Scooters, an update on #tobleronegate, and more!

Pete's brush with death can't stop the guys from diving into one of the more eclectic episodes in recent memory. The three Cs (customer service, curling, and chocolate) are on the agenda this week, as is an update on the show's retro spin-off.

Despite Drac's absence, there are more animal noises than usual in this week's TZ. Memories of the X-Wing and TIE Fighter series lead to discussion of space combat sims of the past, present, and future. The guys also touch on the unfortunate and inevitable corruption of Nintendo's new franchise, and some plans to expand TZ's burgeoning empire.
