This week is our 300th episode, and so as usual, we decided to do something a little bit different for the milestone. We watched some pro wrestling, Jared got to hear my fantastic wrestling commentary, and I saw some familiar faces from either the Yakuza series or through cultural osmosis beat the crap out of each other.

This week, we talk about Live a Live, the Square JRPG that finally made its way outside of Japan this year. We discuss the short story-style narrative, how each story approached the JRPG style, and why I was super frustrated with the game by the end.

This week, Jared and I chat about the second set of live action Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan episodes, how they differ from the anime adaptations, the creativity of the middle episode since it blends elements from Diamond is Unbreakable, and how the actors felt about returning to (or joining!) this world.

This week, I have emerged from gremlin mode to discuss Xenoblade Chronicles 3. After dropping over nearly 150 hours into the game, I talk with Jared about the story, what mechanics have changed, how it ties into the previous games, and what I think overall compared to the other games.

This week, we chat about a spooky (ish) game, Ghostwire: Tokyo. We talk about how they used Japanese ghost stories and urban legends to populate the world, how games are automatically better when you can pet cats and dogs, and what it means to be a “fine” game.

Recently, I played through Omori in-between moving across the country, so I decided to talk about it this week. We discuss the gameplay mechanics, the juxtaposition of the aesthetics and the subject matter, how much I liked the characters, why I won’t go back and get any other endings, and how the story is much heavier than I ever expected.
