You shouldn't say such unscientific things. Let us us do it while we're somehow waltzing into another JRPG penguin town, "making improvements" to owls, creaming a guy, turning Chaz into a Hero Leader, buying a penguin follower, leading a breeder's li... more

- Hit them with the dots… 🤣
…. Not! Chris and Eric are hilarious without being obnoxious. Their humor is intelligent and grounded in ultra-gamer-nerd stuff that elder millennials like myself really appreciate! I think this might be my first podcast I’m considering becoming a patron of! Hope they do an SMT game soon! Would love to hear their thoughts on Digital Devil Saga or SMTIII Nocturne! Game on!

Fantastic podcast full of Nostalgia, although im tapping out with Lunar its a real slog please no more like Lunar 😂 highly recommend for any JRPG fan
Podcast Addict57 months agoWazza- Excellent show
JRPG book club for people like me who loved the IDEA of the genre growing up but never actually got through a lot of its games. Clever, funny hosts, comprehensive explorations of games, and a really cool conceit in the FAKENET to catch all those mistakes and provide clarifications that wouldn’t have been possible normally with a live-to-tape style show.
