Video Game Player and Video Game Historian
Well, Jared and I sure as heck did play Resident Evil 5. The problem is that it actually really sucks. We both enjoyed it when it came out, but we discuss the issues in the game, how Wesker is a late throwback to the Matrix, and how punching a boulder wasn’t quite as cool as we remember.
Listen here!
Leave a CommentI always wondered who the architect of the castle in Symphony of the Night was because he had some crazy design choices. Apparently that fictional architect got more work for the castle in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night! This was one of the biggest Kickstarter games, and so Jared and I played it to see if it could break the nostalgia crowd funding curse. We also do a mid-summer preview of what the rest of 2019 might look like for releases and what we are hyped for.
Leave a CommentThis week, Jared and I dove into another Kyoto Animation movie, Liz and the Blue Bird. While technically a spin-off from Sound Euphonium, the movie can stand alone as well. (Which is good since I haven’t seen Sound Euphonium!) We talk about the wild flexes Kyoto Animation does, the details of the story, and how the relationship between the two main characters can be interpreted.
Leave a CommentJared and I played one of the last games on the 3DS, Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, and here we are to talk about it. We talk about what we think about the story and how it works with the cast of 4 games, how the characters are treated in this vs the original Q, how one character that sucked in 5 is actually not bad here, the phenomenal music, and how FeMC deserved better.
Leave a CommentWe got through another part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, so Jared and I are here to chat about part 4–Diamond is Unbreakable! We run through the major plot points, our thoughts on what makes Part 4 so different from the rest, how awesome the aesthetics are, and how DiU renewed my love of Savage Garden.
Leave a CommentAnother year, another E3! This year’s E3 was pretty weird and full of yelling, and Jared and I go through each press conference and break them down. We talk about what’s exciting, what’s not, and how one trailer gave us pure and utter joy.
Leave a CommentWe finally get to talk about this game! YAY! But first, Jared and I talk about our E3 2019 predictions. After that, we dive straight into Trails of Cold Steel II, where we talk about the story, the new features in both the sequel and the PS4 release, the crazy twists at the end, about the game’s ending, and where we think Trails of Cold Steel III will go.
Leave a CommentThis week, Jared and I continue the trend of watching live action adaptations of anime/manga with Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable Chapter 1. (Say that three times fast!) We talk about how the crazy aesthetics of Jojo translate into live action, how they handled stands, the insane acting ability of Kento Yamazaki, why Jotaro is 50, how they truncated the series and what we think about that, and the future of the live action film series.
Leave a CommentAlmost a year ago, Jared and I talked about the anime Orange. I really loved it, and so when Jared and I found out that there was a live action film (via the main actor also staring in live action Jojo), we decided to chat about it. We talk about what’s different, how the story translates, and Maxwell tells us all how he feels.
Leave a CommentRecently, I decided to binge watch Hi Score Girl while on my elliptical, and since Jared had already watched the Japanese version, we decided to chat about it this week! We explore the world of Japanese arcades in the 90s, the unique art and characters, and why Guile should always be your moral compass.
