Joust

1982's Joust was one of the first video games to popularize two-player cooperative play. Featuring knights mounted on flying ostriches, players wage war with an army of buzzard-mounted adversaries. The key to successful engagements is to touch enemies only when you are higher than them.

Okay, bear with us here: What if all the statues in Philadelphia came to life and got in a big ol' fight?

We discuss some of the biggest, pointiest, and most obscure statues in the city as we explore this delightful nexus of lowbrow and high concept. Which one do YOU think would win?

We're in the mood to talk burgers, fries, and chicken sandwiches!

Like most Americans, we all grew up eating at a wide variety of fast food joints and they each hold a special greasy place in our hearts.

Halloween is nearly upon us!

We are celebrating with exactly ONE BATCH of a brand new ice cream flavor: Spookies & Scream. This pairs our beloved Dark Chocolate base with Oreo pieces for a decadent limited-time combo. Get it before it vanishes into the ethereal plane!

This is also the last call for S'more Sundaes. Once our stockpile of marshmallows is gone, we'll be replacing them with something else in November.

It's hard to stay inside while the weather is this nice, so I'm going to keep this quick and to the point:

  • Both Butter Pecan and Pumpkin Pie ice cream have made triumphant returns to the menu.
  • S'more Sundaes are back for the fall! They are gooey and delicious.

Okay, now we're going back to walking up and down Main Street until our legs fall off.

For the first time ever, Tubby Robot will be open Tuesday evening -- starting tonight!

We'll be open from 5pm - 9pm.

A seven day week is uncharted territory for us. Do human beings even eat ice cream on Tuesdays? I don't know, but with your help we're going to find out.

Things get REAL in our final tier list episode of the Summer. This time we rank 40 flavors of ice cream in a knock-out drag-down battle, and feelings are definitely going to get hurt.

Do you agree with our rankings, or are we totally off base?

The boys get into it and make a tier list for every major video game controller they can remember.

They have some surprisingly strong opinions about Playstation controllers in particular.

Did you know that there is a videogame based on Beethoven's 2nd?

We're talking about the dog movie. Not the symphony.

June 06, 2024

Tonight marks the first Manayunk Stroll the Street of 2024, and it will keep rolling every Thursday through August.

That's pretty great news! Here's some more: we'll be selling our beloved made-to-order ice cream sandwiches every day of Stroll, and they're still being made with fresh cookies baked by My Sweet Gluttony.

This is a Thursday-only thing! If you come in on a Saturday looking for ice cream sandwiches, we will be forced to slowly shake our heads in a disapproving fashion.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone! The shop is closed today but we'll be back to our normal schedule on Wednesday.
