Finally, Jared and I discuss Stranger Things 3: The Game to chat about licensed video games and whether this one is any good.

Seasonal Anime Checkup OVA–Building an Aqours Setlist

This week, Jared and I decided to go with something completely different! As huge Aqours fans, we decided to build our own version of a Live setlist for them. We limited ourselves to a format that was consistent with a Live style, and we built what we have deemed the “Cool Live”, including outfits and Day 1/Day 2 differences. You can listen to a Spotify setlist here (although it is incomplete due to Spotify not having everything, but I tried!)

Seasonal Anime Checkup OVA–I Want to Eat Your Pancreas (Anime Film)

We have previously talked about I Want to Eat Your Pancreas on the SAC OVA, so this time we watched the anime film to see how it compares to the manga and the light novel. We discuss how this version of it might be the best way to introduce yourself to the story, talk about the dub cast, and how I almost died laughing too hard at one particular scene, which is not expected for a story as sad as this one. Spoilers, of course!

Seasonal Anime Checkup OVA–The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III

What better way to start a new year than by talking about my game of the year from 2019!?! So this week, Jared and I discuss the story of the game, which moments stood out, the changes that were made, how Rean has taken up the thankless profession of teaching, and where we think ToCS 4 and beyond might go.

AL’S 2019 Game of the Year!

We’re back with another year of games and life under the belt, for better or for worse. I’ve played what could be considered a decent amount of games this year, and now I get to rank them! My list is, of course, the end all be all of games of the year lists. I will say, the games that I put as my top 4 could easily be GOTY. They’re all that damn good. So let’s get started with this GOTY train!1Also, be sure to check out Jared’s list here, and the SAC OVA podcast here.

Let’s do it!!

Seasonal Anime Checkup OVA–Snatcher

Subtle art there, y’all. Totally not Harrison Ford. Anyway, we’re here with our annual holiday podcast, and this year we are playing a game that takes place around Christmas. We played Snatcher, which is one of Hideo Kojima‘s non-Metal Gear games. We discuss how it’s a copy/paste job of Blade Runner, what parts of it are really gross and bad, how the OST is actually boss, and I just suffer. A lot.
