This week, Jared and I got to experience the finally localized Like a Dragon: Ishin!, a Yakuza story set in 19th century Japan. We talk about the fantastic localization, how much history they’re able to weave in to the story, singing about fighting sakura for the 15th time, and how this compares to mainline Yakuza/LAD games.

This week, Jared and I talk about the reboot of Saints Row, and we see how Jared felt about the series being rebooted after the wacky shenanigans of Saints Row IV, the story, why it’s stupid to name a game the same thing as previous games, the rocky launch, and what’s in the future for Saints Row.

Since Valentine’s Day was this week, Jared and I decided to talk about Lover Pretend, an otome game where you fall in love with dudes as you work on a movie set trying to find out who your dad is. We talk about the awkward moments, some of the great stuff this game does, and why the last route just shouldn’t exist.

This week, Jared and I chat about which games we are excited for or not as Nintendo showed off games that are coming out this year and beyond, and we discuss how the Zelda price hike is really uncalled for and lame.

This week, Jared and I discuss the third season of Mythic Quest! We thought that season 2 had wrapped up in a way that felt satisfying, so we talk about what the new season added, the new character dynamics, and where the show can go from here.

This week, Jared and I talk about Bustafellows, a game I started in 2021, but I wasn’t able to finish for a few reasons. This time, I completed it, and so we chat about the dudes, found family, the wild ass story, and how it became a top tier otome game on my list.

This week, we’re finally able to talk about JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure; Stone Ocean after it’s absolute bonkers and bad release schedule on Netflix finally ended. We talk about the story and characters, what parts were fittingly bizarre, and how we think it stacks up against the other parts of JJBA.

This week, Jared and I chat about an otome game I played last year, and we discuss how they fumbled what could have been a cool plot device, why some of the datables were insufferable, why eight dudes is too many dudes, and whether or not the big finale actually mattered at all.

This week, Jared and I return to the live action Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan series, and we see Rohan go stir crazy during the Covid-19 pandemic, play some rock-paper-scissors, adopt a dog, and Jared and I ask one very important question about something Rohan does or does not do.
