To wrap up the first ever backlog month I am joined by friend of the show Mick Arcade to talk about Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII! This game brought out some varying emotions in me. At some points I really enjoyed my time with the game and was happy it got chosen. And then at other points I was frustrated beyond belief with how the story unfolds. But with this mix of feelings is it still worth playing Dirge of Cerberus in 2024? Is this really the most Nomura-ass game you will ever play? You will have to listen to find out!

Another hole in my backlog is filled! Well sort of. I'm joined by my original cohost with the mohost Justin to talk about the Sega classic ToeJam & Earl! This game was the only game I was not able to beat for backlog month. What was it about this game that made me not be able to finish it? It ended up being tough for me to answer but Justin and I break down a lot of the facets of this iconic game and what we felt ultimately still holds up and doesnt hold up all these years later.

Episode 2 of Backlog Month features vampires, werewolves and mysterious organization! This week Phil Morgan from the Deleted Saves Podcast returns to the show to talk about the Order 1886. We take a look at why this game didn't review well, why it holds up better than you think it would and much more! Please note this was recorded WAY before the news of Ready at Dawn at closed down. This makes this episode a little bittersweet.

One of the things I need to more on the show is interview indie game devs and this week's episode is my first attempt in a long while to do that. I'm joined by Australian game designer Sam Leitch to talk about his upcoming game Wren's Resurgence. Sam was incredibly kind and asked for feedback on his demo during the recording! It was a really fun experience for me to get a small peak behind the curtain of indie game development and I hope you all enjoy it as well!

It has been 25 years since the Sega Dreamcast came out. And while the system may have been short lived it's impact is still felt today. Joining me to talk all about Sega's final home console are my friends Andrew from The EXP Point and Coury from My Life in Gaming. We talk about Sega's follies leading up to the Dreamcast's launch, what the system did right and how unfortunate timing ultimately doomed the system. We also count down Andrew's top 10 Dreamcast games!

We all have backlogs. I usually pick games from it for my Patreon polls to help me work through it steadily. But sometimes I just pick a game off of it with no intention of playing it for the show and then I enjoy it so much I feel like I have to. Alan Wake was one of those games for me. Joining me on this episode are Phil Morgan from the Deleted Saves podcast and Matt aka Stormageddon to break down Alan Wake from Remedy Games.

This episode delves into some heavy topics, expecially later on in the episode so please note the content warning below along with the time stamp for where that portion starts.

WHERE IS SHE!? This week on the show it's all about the Dark Knight himself, Batman. I'm joined by one of my closest IRL friends Heather! Heather is one of the biggest Batman fans I know so I had to have her on the show to talk about her favorite super hero. We talk about our favorite elements of the game, we ask if it still holds up and we also imagine what would it be like if Batman brought the wrong explosive gel with him while fighting crime.
