Take a look, it's in a book. NieR released with a resounding thud in 2010, neither selling well nor pleasing critics. But since then, it's become a cult classic for people who like experimental narrative and varied play. Nier is a father who is desperately searching for a cure for his daughter's terminal illness. Yonah has the Black Scrawl, and a prophecy about a pair of magical books might be her salvation.
The problem is, the game isn't very fun to play, and while there is some really neat narrative stuff going on (with some very likeable and memorable characters), the juice might not be worth the squeeze.
This first episode covers the generalities of the game, and we go up through Nier's adventure in Facade.

In all the years we've been creating podcasts, we've never really talked about Harry Potter at length. And when a Harry Potter game went up on our Abject Suffrage poll, you all voted with enthusiasm to hear about it. So, this episode is nominally about the GameBoy Advance version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, a kiddy action RPG. However, it's mostly about our pitch for a movie about the hard partying early days of everyone's favorite crass uncle: The Sorting Hat.
