Watch Out for Fireballs! is a game club podcast, focused on retro and non-current games. Every week, we play a game in its entirety, then discuss its merits and flaws at length. Most episodes begin with a short sketch, and we're pretty liberal about keeping tangents in. But it ultimately comes down to: Why do we like (or dislike?) this game.

Episode 46: Mario Golf / Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross chip into a kickflip to talk about both Mario Golf and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2.
We were originally going to talk about Mario Golf 64, but it wasn’t robust enough. So, in a first for the show, we expanded our discussion to the entire series. Our conclusion is that it isn’t Mario enough, and it isn’t golf enough.
Boy do we hope you like music, because the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater discussion is littered with it. There’s little to dislike about this awesome entry in a mostly bad series. Bring the noise.
