Our annual Christmas episode is here! Keeping with tradition of watching anime movies set at Christmas, Jared and I decided to watch Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. I actually have never watched anything Gundam related, and so look forward to some quality summary from me! We also talk about sweet Gundam designs and how a boyband saved the Earth, apparently.

One of the most anticipated games of this year finally dropped earlier this month, and so Jared and I are here to talk about whether the hype was founded. We talk about the insane unlocking mechanics, World of Light, which parts Jared and I liked best, and how I want to give Sakurai a Kirby pillow and blanket so he can just take the longest of naps.

We have reached our now annual podcast where Jared and I look to the future and talk about what video games and anime we’re looking forward to in 2019. Of course, we recorded this before the game awards, so none of that content was included. Whoops.

We’re back with MORE JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure! This time, Jared and I played through the PS4 fighting game, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven. We talk about the gameplay, which characters and teams are our favorites to play as, and how the story, which was overseen by Araki himself, unites all the Joestar lineage to collect all the burritos!

We thought we were going to get the Bouncer 2, but instead, Square Enix gave us The Quiet Man. One of the oddest showings at this year’s E3 was recently released, and it’s being lauded as The Room of video games. While conceptually the idea of playing as a deaf protagonist is fantastic, the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Jared and I played through both routes of The Quiet Man so you didn’t have to, and we talk about it all! We also discuss how The Quiet Man is the prodigy of baking in New York City in our interpretation of the story.

This week, Jared and I decide to return to two beloved worlds–one with a vacuum and one with some cowboys. First, I talk about the recent 3DS re-release of Luigi’s Mansion, and I talk about how it compares to the original from 2001 or if it was all nostalgia making me love it. We also revisit an urban legend from a few weeks ago to see if they altered a certain shadow. Finally, Jared discusses Red Dead Redemption 2 and whether it lives up to the hype or if you really aren’t a gamer or in a coma if you haven’t played it.

Jared and I reached a landmark episode! We hit 100 episodes of the SAC OVA, so we decided to do something special for it. We looked at our previous episode topics, and we decided to rank the media within. We wanted to know which were the best of the video games, anime, and conceptual ideas we talked about over the years, so after some controversy and arguing, we finalized THE best of the best!
To see the final results, check here.

In September, Jared and I talked about Life is Strange,and now after playing through Life is Strange: Before the Storm, we decided to dive into that for this week. We talk about the story as a whole, the new characters, whether Before the Storm was actually necessary, and how rad it is to play D&D and act out The Tempest in a video game. Awkward high school returns with some back talking, some drama, and some floating gnome bards.

Jared and I continue the spooky theme this week as we discuss two games that fit into the spirit of the holiday. First, Jared talks about The MISSING, the latest Swery game. He talks about the surprising themes, the impressive story, and how it can be surprisingly neat to repeatedly remove all your limbs. Second, I finally got Jared to play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, so he now knows that a man is a miserable pile of secrets. We dive into the story, questions about vampire puberty, and how ridiculous Alucard can be.

It’s spooky season! In honor of Halloween, Jared and I decided to talk about urban legends and conspiracy theories surrounding video gaming throughout the years. Did Lavender Town cause kids to die? Is Squall dead? Did the government use an arcade cabinet for experimentation? We run the gauntlet of those and other urban legends in gaming. Jared also gets to talk about sports on an episode for once!
