  • Imagine bemoaning the fates of so-called spectacularly talented people who turned out garbage character designs for generic slop like Concord and Suicide squad kill the Justice League. This podcast is ok enough, but nothing special otherwise. It would be a hell of a lot better without any of the leftist/progressive crap.

  • Imagine crying over the fates of so-called spectacularly talented people who turned out garbage character designs for generic slop like Concord and Suicide squad kill the Justice League. It's fun to watch you people cry, at least. This podcast is ok enough, but nothing special otherwise. It would be a hell of a lot better without any of the leftist/progressive crap.

  • My fav RPG podcast

    Alongside Retro Encounters of course. Been listening for a few years now, finally decided to rate and review (it’s never too late, guys!). Long live the RPGFan, probably the most passionate genre website and the RPGFan crew, lovely bunch of geeks!

I go to something familiar and comfortable, like Deltarune, which serves as a great comfort during stressful times.
326 - Back to Business as Usual
Q: What is your experience with Deltarune and how does it compare to Undertale?
Deltarune feels like a continuation of the themes and mechanics established in Undertale while introducing narratives where choices do not significantly affect the outcome.
318 - Monster Hunting the Most Elusive Game: A New Suikoden
Q: What is the storyline of Monster Hunter Wilds?
In Monster Hunter Wilds, you find yourself in the Forbidden Lands, where issues arise between villages and the environment, which you must uncover as part of the gameplay.
318 - Monster Hunting the Most Elusive Game: A New Suikoden
Q: So how about we chat about a video game that features some very interesting times based on a classic Chinese novel?
The game we're talking about is highly anticipated, Suikoden I & II HD Remaster, which remasters two classic RPGs, known for their intricate storytelling and complex characters.
317 - Pirate Watcher in Eora
Q: What's the difference between Skyrim and Avowed?
Skyrim is an older game that focuses on open worlds, which I don't enjoy, while Avowed is set in a rich narrative world with deeper combat mechanics.
