Never Free To Play

Warning for Spoilers for Mass Effect 1 and 2. It’s the year 2185 and they’ve brought him back stronger, faster, and more decisive than ever! Johnny Shepard is back and he’s not only taking the fight to the Collectors but to faulty video game logic! Karch, Jason, Sean, and Dr. Brockledurk dive back to their podcast life to talk one thing and one thing only: Mass Effect 2’s famous Suicide Mission and what decisions Johnny Shepard made whilst there. The bodies count is gonna be high and Sean is gonna get angry.

Quick Note: Sean’s audio is of lower quality for the first 8 minutes but is fixed afterwards.  He apologizes.

With Robert and Jason being not free to play, Karch and Sean return to the Never Free to Play podcast to discuss the “Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase,” and “Final Fantasy VII 25th Anniversary Stream,” to news, hottakes, and hopes.

Karch has also been playing a lot of Persona 5 Royal and Sean is back on…fell off…is glitching with the Skyrim wagon.

In the year 2183 there’s only one man who Humanity can turn to to represent it on the galactic stage and stop Saren and his Geth allies.  That man is Johnny Shepard and he’s here…to mostly walk the middle of the road and be a people pleaser.

The guys are back for a podcast and amongst talk of Dr. Brockledurk’s 5,000 deaths in Elden Ring, Karch’s diplomatic monarchy in Triangle Strategy, and Sean’s wardening in Dragon Age: Origins we get to the real star of the episode:

Did Jason actually manage to beat a video game?  And Mass Effect at that?  Turn in to see what kind of galaxy Jason and Johnny Shepard make.

We’re in the grips of KARCH MADNESS (well Karch is), and what better time than to throw our brains together and decide what game to play next now that we’re all True Astroneers.  Along the way we talk the March 2022 PlayStation State of Play (aka the SquareEnix Show), grow cold on Aloy and Horizon: Forbidden West, and beat our heads against FromSoftware's new masterpiece: Elden Ring.
