It’s that time of year again! The video games are taking over. Somehow, E3 is not dead, and we’ve also got this weird divorced and fighting scenario with E3 and Summer Game Fest. We talk about who is going to be there, make our predictions, and already get things wrong.
BUT before that! We talk about the recent controversy with Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice. Voice actors got fired! Actual censorship is a problem! Bad fans are bad! It’s basically a giant train wreck, and I give you the full breakdown of events and explain why I quit the game despite playing it since launch.

This week, we’re back into the real world of Yakuza instead of the fake imitation Yakuza from last week. We get to drive a taxi, fist fight a bear, become an idol, be disgusting, and play baseball. This sure is a Yakuza game! We talk about the story and chat about how the pieces all it together, as well as deciding where it ranks in the rest of the series so far.

This week, Jared and I are going to put on our detective hats and solve a couple of mysteries! Nintendo recently released the Famicom Detective Club games: The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind for the Switch, marking the first time these games have officially been translated and released in the west. We discuss the back stories of these games, let a teenage boy look at a lot of dead bodies, break down the stories themselves, and talk about how surprisingly dark one game is.

This week, we’re getting a little bizarre again. We’re back in the JoJo universe with the live action adaptation of Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe. We chat about all three episodes, how they make this feel unique from other adaptations of this material and JJBA Part 4 generally, and ultimately what we think about the mini series.

This week, Jared and I chat about the PlayStation Vita, an amazing system despite Sony’s complete and utter lack of support. We chat about the history of it, why it died, what we liked, how some games got a second life on the Vita, and which games were our favorites.
