This week, we’re talking about the most recent big otome game, Variable Barricade. I talk about the gorgeous art, how strange the love interests are, and how the game left a very bad taste in my mouth by the end.

This week, we get to talk about cars, history, and the PS5! Jared talks about the actual specifics of Gran Turismo 5, and I get to jump in when we start talking about the super weird history mode that puts automotive history into its historical context…sort of. Finally, we chat about the PS5 as a whole since we both have one now!
Leave a CommentThis week, Jared and I are discussing video game reviews and whether they’re really useful in 2022. We talk about review aggregate websites and the negatives that come with those for the industry, how fandoms weaponize reviews, and how they’ve changed throughout the years, including questioning how useful one paragraph reviews actually were back in the day.
Leave a CommentThis week, Jared and I are talking about an infamous game that…actually isn’t bad? We played through the first Shenmue game, and we talk about the development, the story, the forklifts, Tom the Hot Dog Man, and our overall thoughts about this game.
Leave a CommentThis week, we chat about the Nintendo from February 9, 2022. We talk about the big announcements, the revival of some games from the 90s and early 2000s, the acknowledgement of the existence of the Satellaview, and why I will go missing in September–and I apologize in advance.
Leave a CommentValentine’s Day is coming, and love is in the air! That means it’s time for another otome episode! This week, we chat about Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani, where you play as a new agent who helps out supernatural beings…and dates them. (And her boss) I talk about the routes, how much I enjoyed the side characters, and how the whole time I just kept wanting to get to the Semi route to see what would make him finally open his eyes.
Leave a CommentThis week, we have a few things to chat about. First up, we have the big news about another studio acquisition and reiterate how this is not a good direction for the video game industry. After that, Jared and I talk about The Legend of Zelda Link’s Awakening, and how Nintendo folks must’ve gotten high and watched Twin Peaks before making it. Finally, Jared talks about the new Pokémon Legends: Arceus and the new directions that game takes.
Leave a CommentThis week, Jared and I played the most recent SMT game, Shin Megami Tensei V. We chat about the difficulty, how the game does a lot of things right, how it does the story very wrong, and how we chose the best protagonist names of all time.
Leave a CommentThis week, Jared and I start the episode by chatting down the news of Microsoft attempting to buy Activision Blizzard and what that will mean for the video game industry as a whole and if it’ll clean up the mess that is Activision Blizzard. After that, Jared finally really played through Super Mario 64 for the first time, and we chat about our (mostly) differing opinions on the game.
Leave a CommentThis week, I got super scared as Jared and I played through Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope. We talk about the story, spooky time travel, how absolutely terrified I was basically the whole game, and ultimately how we were able to work together to solve the mystery of Little Hope!
