What a combo this week! We’re still catching up with games we’ve played recently. First, we talk about our co-op adventures in beating people up and cooking with Streets of Rage 4 and Overcooked 2. Yes, we are still friends, and Mr. Love gets a shout out here. Jared then talks about Hitman 3, one of the first big games in 2021, and what he thought about the final game in the reboot trilogy.

This week, Jared and I are on a boat with a cat captain and dealing with some pretty heavy themes. We chat about last year’s Spiritfarer, a management game where you are tasked with ferrying spirits to the afterlife. We discuss all of the characters and the overall story as we piece together Stella’s adventure.

This week, Jared and I dive back into the world of Kong, as well as explore an alternate version of rural Kentucky. First, we played through DKC3, and we chat about how it differs from the other two and how it was the beginning of the collectathons. After that, we talk about Jared’s 2020 Game of the Year, Kentucky Route Zero, which I decided to play after hearing him sing its praises. We talk about magical realism, the overall story, what shocked us, anti-capitalism messages, and the way the gameplay and visuals shifted over the years.

In our first episode of 2021, Jared and I have a lot to talk about! This week, we chat about some games we played near the end of 2020. Jared talks about family with Fast and Furious: Crossroads. After that, he breaks down the new Miles Morales game and why you should have a spiderkitty in a backpack. Finally, I break down the latest Hyrule Warriors game, and I talk about why it was a big letdown for someone who is a huge fan of both Zelda and Musou.

Despite the oddness, I’m here to deliver my supplementary awards and my game of the year awards for 2020, and this time we’re back to seven. Here is the link to the SAC OVA podcast where Jared and I break all of this down too, and be sure to check his list out here. Without further ado, let’s do this thing. There will be spoilers behind the cut!
It’s our annual holiday episode! This time, we watched the Ace Attorney live action film (Merry Christmas!). We talk about how it works as an adaptation and why a single fax ensured that we won’t get a follow up to the greatness that is this movie.

This week, we get to talk about taking the Yakuza series, turning it on its head, and reimagining it as a JRPG. We chat about the crazy story that definitely goes places, Ichiban’s character and his role as the protagonist, whether the switch in combat style works, and how to grab your shoulder and suddenly remove all of the clothing from your torso.
