Video Game Player and Video Game Historian
This week, Jared and I decided to tackle the idea of video game crowdfunding. We discuss the horror stories, our personal experiences, and thoughts of where it can go or what we’ve all learned.
As a bonus this week, we also talk pre-E3 thoughts! I already predicted one that came true (since this was recorded on Tuesday.)
Leave a CommentThis week, Jared and I decided to talk about the original Danganropa anime. This anime has been long maligned, and we wanted to set the record straight on what is good, what is bad, and why the dub is the only way to watch this show.
Leave a CommentI’ve been harassing Jared for who knows how long to play one of my favorite games in the Final Fantasy series– Final Fantasy VIII.
Since he FINALLY played it, we decided to discuss the game, its reputation, why Squall is so misunderstood, and why we consider it one of the best. (Don’t forget that bomb soundtrack!)
Leave a CommentI recently made Jared play Legend of Zelda, Zelda II, A Link to the Past, and the Oracle series. In this episode we discuss the games and their influence on the series as a whole.
In addition, we talk about why we are not covering Caligula Effect, as well as a discussion about the preservation of experimental games and the huge impact of the 16-bit era of gaming.
Leave a CommentThis week, we decided to do a grab bag episode! I give you some intense comprehensive info on the otome game called Period Cube: Shackles of Amadeus, Jared talks about Puyo Puyo Tetris, and we tell you the best and only way to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Leave a CommentSo, I watched Parts 1 and 2 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. I’m still confused, so we decided to podcast about it. There’s ridiculousness, man pain, and you should definitely give it a listen.
Leave a CommentJared and I decided to talk about the highest grossing anime movie of all time, Your Name. We talk about what we would do if bodies were switched, how many tears I cried, and if the movie was good or lived up to the hype!
Leave a CommentWe beat Persona 5 earlier than expected, so here is an episode about it! The first 56 minutes are spoiler free impressions, and the rest is a deep dive into our thoughts on the game/plot/characters.
Give it a listen, and follow us on Twitter @animecheckup.
Leave a CommentIn this week’s episode, we talk about Nintendo’s mobile strategy, including Miitomo, Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes, and the future of their game releases. We also throw out ideas of what could work really well for phones if Nintendo got their act together.
Also life advice–don’t put your gamer tag on pizza boxes.
