FINALLY the long awaited FF9 episode we have been teasing for weeks, this ended up being a much bigger project than excepted but being one of the first JRPGs Jarrad and I have completed we underestimated the time it takes to fully finish a game of this caliber, and in that regard we decided to split this up into 2 parts since we couldnt fit it all in a single 2 hour segment. With such a large game their is a lot to talk about and it was a ton of fun. So come join us on our grand journey as we catch frogs and ride chocobos in the long breakdown of Final Fantasy 9! 

Another week, another game, this time we take on the most controversial crash bandicoot game to come out of the original trilogy. Is all of the hate for the game truly warranted, or do the die hard fans need to remove the rose tinted glasses? We try to dig down to the root and find the real answer, so strap in and join us for a great episode!

This week Jarrad and I tackle the age old argument, who won the console wars of the late 90's? With so many differences between the two consoles, in terms of the hardware, games, controllers, and the obvious cartridge vs CD, we hope to cover most of the main arguments while still having fun! Strap in as we try to cover everything these consoles offered in a little over an hour.

Come swing into action with Hampton and Jarrad as we discuss the first true Spider-man game, what is refered to now as Spider-man 2000 released on the N64 and PS1. We talk about how great and influential this game was as a super hero and spider-man game as well as its short comings when it comes to playing it in the modern day. Strap in for web-slinging, wall crawing, action!
