Deponia is a point and click adventure game made by Daedalic Entertainment out of Germany. The unlikable protagonist, Rufus, engages in a series of far-fetched plans to escape from the junk planet of Deponia to the orbiting paradise of Elysium. It was released in 2012, a year before the Matt Damon movie that had more or less the same basic idea, although Matt Damon's character was far more sympathetic than the jerk in this game. Along the way, Rufus meets Goal, a girl that the game informs us is supposed to be beautiful, but she really didn't do much for us. Maybe Rufus has just been on that junk planet for too long. Anyway, their destinies intertwine, the adventure unfolds, and the Grumpy Old Guys give their unfiltered opinions about the whole thing.

Episode 17 - Deponia

The Grumpy Guys frequently disagree, and they're occasionally disagreeable, but we hope you find this show entertaining, and perhaps even edifying.
