Podcast Episodes

Eric meets a potential serial killer while we polish off our Buster Swords, equip our best materia, and begin the first part of our deep dive into the gaming masterpiece that is Final Fantasy 7. Expect many Kleenex to be consumed.

The world heavyweight champion and serial ear eater Mike Tyson joins us to talk Earthworm Jim 1 and 2, a ballerina you don’t want to watch, and Jives, the perpetually grooving butler.

Alundra, unfortunately, takes a slight turn for the worse as we progress into the second half, Nintendo baffles us with their decision to discontinue the NES Classic, and we all learn that taking relationship advice from Dan is a bad idea.

If there’s one thing we could say about this show, it’s that it’ll probably give you a massive Bonaire as we play through the first half of the classic RPG, Alundstalkorrrrrr (or Alundra).

Mountains are climbed (pointlessly) and we learn that saving on Crash Bandicoot is even stupider than naming a character Willy the Wombat.

There’s just enough time for a bit more debate about the Nintendo Switch, Zelda Breath of the Wild, and Tom’s trip to Japan before good old Nemmy – in a bizarre turn of events – is finally defeated by Ronnie Pickering as we finish Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

Tom finds his way back to the show to help support the Vita, fawn over the new Final Fantasy VII remake screens, and bubble over the lovely 2.5D platformer we probably all missed – Klonoa: Door to Phantomile.

The battle against Doctor Smooth Area takes a dramatic turn as Eric develops laser eyes! We (nearly) finish Super Mario RPG, discuss upcoming games, chat about emulation and a take a look at a new all-in-one console called the RetroBlox.

It’s with a tearful wave that we say goodbye to Jess. Eric and Dan share their favorite Jess moments before trying to make sense of the Kingdom Hearts series, invent an alternate RPG franchise, and dissect the first half of Super Mario RPG.
