Hmmm? Oh sorry. You caught me thinking about the Roman Empire. Anyway, this week I offer my thoughts on Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, a little historic context, and giant robot mecha anime fighting machines. Was this title everything a FromSoft game should be, or was it something else entirely? Come check it out and we'll contemplate it together.

Oh boy, here we go back into Nintendo waters. This week I offer my thoughts on Metroid Dread, my first return to the series after almost three decades away. It is certainly, if nothing else, a Metroid game! What it is after that, I'm not really sure.

Excelsior, true believers! (TM) On this episode I do a two-for of the Marvel's Spider-man games and discuss my time with both Peter Parker and Miles Morales and a bit about my own history with the business and being an art teacher. How does that all work? Give this one a listen to find out, Spider-fans!

Oh boy, I come out swinging on this one, but in the game's defense, not to deride it as so many have. I offer my thoughts on my time with The Callisto Protocol, our Dead Space substitute for today. This is another in my problematic favorites series, and while it does have issues, the real issue was everything else that didn't have much to do with the actual game. Hold onto your ears folks, it's showtime!

Ever wonder what the French Revolution would have looked like with robots? On this episode, I will be covering just that with my thoughts on Steelrising, a French-made Souls-like of above average quality. Can you pilot your killer dancer robot through a burning Paris to uncover why everything went crazy? Or do you just want me to cover the highlights? Either way, stop by and give this one a listen.

On this episode I give my thoughts on Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, the first cartoon mascot action platform game I've played since Jak and Daxter II. Almost twenty years is long time. Was it any good? Why this game after so long? Give this episode a listen and all will be explained.

Once more into the Dungeons and Dragons breech, my listeners, so dust off your minis and dice as I give my thoughts on 1994's Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession. As a dungeon crawler, is it any good? Was it able to stand out against its competitors? Why have I covered this setting so much? I'm not sure I can answer all those questions, but give this a listen anyway, won't you?

Well, this one is probably going to annoy some of the Star Wars fan base. On this episode I talk about my experience with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order as a Star Wars outsider. Why did anyone in their right mind think this was a Souls-like? Is this what Star Wars is really like? How am I even supposed to pronounce any of this?

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, we need to talk...

Man, am I late to this franchise. On this episode I offer my thoughts on Luigi's Mansion 3, the third entry in this weird ghostbusting series. Why this game, now? Because it's what I played as a Super Mario Bros outsider. Give it a listen anyway.

What do you do with a drunken sailor early in the morning? Feed him to an Outer God, that's what! On this episode I give my thoughts on Dredge, where pro fishing meet Cthulhu f'htagning in the most colorful way possible. This was another indie darling, but does it stand up? Absolutely, if you let it.
