Deep Listens

Join Adam, Tyler, Jason, and Justin as they get flung around the universe with Stargate SG-1. This time they get started on season 4 by covering the episodes "Small Victories", "The Other Side", "Upgrades", and "Crossroads". Join them as they come to terms with post-Soviet lego space bugs, space steroids, space nazis, and forgetting you have a space wife. Also, the show is going to go on hiatus for a few months, so expect us back later in 2026!

Summer isn't over just yet! There's still time for more esoteric weirdo games developed by Sting with your friends at Off the Deep End. This time, Braden and Chris have brought Reki along to talk about two very different, very bizarre PSP strategy games. Listen as three adult men try their best to explain how the heck Yggdra Union plays with varying levels of success. Did they enjoy themselves? Listen to find out!

In this episode Gino and Braden "ArbitraryWater" -REDACTED- are joined by Jess "VoidBurger" O'Brien to discuss Return To Silent Hill! We cover this film from the James in a convertible start to the James in a very bad beard end. It's difficult to articulate all the ways this movie messes up the story and tone of Silent Hill 2, but we try our best to get 'em all! We've got new characterizations. We've got new plot lines that ruin the ones from the original game. We've got entirely new characters who make no sense! This is probably the worst Silent Hill thing we've covered for the show so... enjoy?

In this episode Gino, Chris "ZombiePie" -REDACTED-, and Jeff discuss Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis. they discuss the game's unfortunate gacha systems, its rehashed stories, and its zany character costumes. This episode was recorded before the news about the planned end date for Ever Crisis so the hosts discuss whether this game will need to stick around because it contains stories from other defunct games. We also discuss what it means to experience FF VII primarily through this game.
