Ep. 8 - Deadly Premonition For Real People

March 07, 2021 19:28 - 145 MB

Episode Notes It's been too long since we podcasted! I was feeling the itch to record our conversations again, so I gathered up some friends and we talked about fighting games, tokusatsu, impressive-yet-terrifying algorithms and RPGs with questionable thematic writing. We want to try getting back into the routine of recording podcasts more often, but that's also dependent on our lives and schedules lining up, so... fingers crossed, but look forward to more in the future!

Ep. 6 - Flying Into Free

April 13, 2020 01:31 - 1 hour - 64.4 MB

Capcom's open-world RPG Dragon's Dogma has been a title that's haunted me for ages. The game I seemed destined to constantly buy rereleases of, but never actually sit down and play. Fang finally convinced me to break my terrible cycle, so we sat down and talked about a flawed but fun hidden gem from the last generation of consoles.

With the recent western releases of Romancing SaGa 3 and SaGa Scarlet Grace: Ambitions, Square Enix's SaGa series has once again found itself in the limelight.

As it turns out, this episode is releasing on the 30th anniversary of the first entry, which is something we didn't exactly intend! Sometimes life works in mysterious ways. ...
