- Great camaraderie
This is a wonderful podcast that covers the best JRPG games and the hosts are great together and the humor is also cool. Also cool that you’re in Louisville Kentucky. I live across the river in New Albany. Great to hear local guys on a podcast :)

…. 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!
Apple Podcasts5BecccoidUnited States7 months ago A gem of a podcast. Eric and Chris have some of the best chemistry on-mic you'll hear. The FakeNet did NOT put me up to this review....

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast
What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?
A long-running, in-depth critique of classic JRPGs, delivered as warm, humorous, and very detailed chapter-by-chapter analyses. The show emphasizes narrative lore, character dynamics, game systems, and soundtrack hooks, often weaving in personal anecdotes and pop-culture riffs. While the focus shifts across titles, the host duo's chemistry, steady pace, and willingness to chase tangents make it accessible for both long-time fans and newcomers exploring retro JRPGs. A notable hallmark is treating lore and themes—destiny, agency, and mortality—as ongoing conversation fodder rather than mere recap, with a playful 'FakeNet/RealNet' commentary texture that keeps discussions lively and community-driven.
