This week the boys discuss the origins of the highest selling game of the Playstation: Gran Thef---no, wait.

Gran Torin...that's not it either.

Gran Turismo! That's the one. About the cars and the driving and the puking on the lawn.

Enter the ring this week with the boys as they discuss the jiggle physics fest that is Dead or Alive, pay their "respects" to the legend that is Tomonobu Itagaki, and pit the King of Iron Fists tournament against the Dead or Alive World Combat Championship in a competition of mouthfeel.

Join us as we break down the plot -- a surprisingly (or maybe not?) difficult task and the cast of the game, delving into the sometimes mythic origins of their naming conventions and further extrapolating on our love for Uematsu's phenomenal score.

In this episode the boys discuss the FromSoftware original: Armored Core. Is it an anti-capitalist screed from the labor class at the mercy of mega-corporations? Is it the perfect emblem for an encroaching AI-fueled dystopia? Or is  it a clunky mecha from the team that would later revolutionize video games with the likes of Dark Souls? 

All this...and more, on this week's episode of Of Mics & Memory Cards.
