Memory Card Memoirs

Sterling chats with Will Borger about Advance Wars, a beloved Nintendo series that has you rethinking your every move. It's amazing how such a simple-looking game can be so mechanically deep, and lead to such endless memories.

Sometimes, pixels can be more beautiful than real life, and in the instance of Octopath Traveler, that's completely true. Sterling & Jerel join eight travelers on a journey to find redemption, freedom, truth, and treasure. Join them as they discuss a masterpiece that completely changed the JRPG genre.

A game ingrained in the memories of those who spent long nights raiding in the early 2000's, World of Warcraft has captured the hearts of many.  Our guest in this episode is Brian Barnett, a man who went through love, loss, and many stages of life while having World of Warcraft as his constant companion. Brian will have you feeling nostalgic even if you've never played WoW before.

As strange as it sounds, there's something comforting about the loneliness of Don't Starve. You're stuck in a world with nothing but the sound of chipping birds and the occasional gust of wind. It's daunting, with so many ways to die and constant new things to discover, Don't Starve is intimidating, yet rising to the challenge is incredibly fun. How can a world that is seemingly so empty have so much to do in it? Sterling is joined by Jazzy's Games, a content creator with a deep passion and love for Don't Starve. They've both built relationships around a survival game that was meant to be isolating, yet they've built so much community around it. Relax and enjoy this episode but just remember there is only one rule, Don't Starve.

While most gamers grew up playing Super Mario 64, Abram & Sterling grew up in the days of the Wii and fell in love with the beautiful planets of Super Mario Galaxy. From the tropical paradise of the Beach Bowl Galaxy to the sweeping melodies of Gusty Garden, this game oozes gorgeous visuals, inventive gameplay, and one of the best soundtracks in all of gaming. We go off the rails a wee bit as we get lost in our passion for Nintendo, but we try to do right by Super Mario Galaxy, as it deserves all the praise it gets. Who knew space could have so much colour?
