The Limit Breakers Podcast

We are back after another prolonged break with our longest (and possibly best) episode yet! We are joined by our good friend Jeff in discussing the Metal Gear series as a whole, as well as its enigmatic and oft-heralded creator Hideo Kojima. We explore not only a brief history of the series, but also our favorite moments, what makes it so unique, and why we consider Kojima an "auteur" of the gaming world.

This is the first episode that we haven't tried to properly equalize all the audio. The editing work was becoming too long to be worth it on such a long episode, but the audio quality should still be perfectly listenable. We hope you still enjoy it!

We are back with another "mini" episode to address some changes going on with the show, update you on the podcast's status in general, and discuss some recent gaming news and opinions of ours. Amongst the quick-fire topics are Stranger Things on Netflix (and how gaming influenced it), Pokemon Go, and Final Fantasy XV. Thanks for sticking with us and we hope you'll stay for the long haul!

Our long hiatus is over and we've finally gotten around to releasing an episode we recorded weeks and weeks ago! Back on 4th of July weekend we got to talking about Final Fantasy Tactics, a game that came on the heels of the smash-hit that was FF7 and yet went in a completely different direction. With returning guest Andrew in tow, we discuss what made FFT so different, complex, and infinitely replayable. Check it out!

Video gaming has come a long way in its storytelling capacity since its inception - but has it caught up to other media forms yet? In Episode 7, we discuss the strengths, weaknesses, and inherent differences and unique traits of video gaming as a narrative medium. We also touch on the difficulty in adapting games to film or film to games, how big a year 2016 is for video game adaptations, and some of our personal favorite narrative moments in gaming. Enjoy!

It's an exciting day to finally have an episode where we discuss a game that we are all actively playing together. It's been quite some time since we all dove into a competitive game with one another, but we've done just that with OVERWATCH. In this episode, we give you our first impressions, our favorite characters thus far, and some hopes we have for the future of the game. Overwatch players, unite!

We've settled nicely into the format of what we want our average episode to be - but we want to mix in some shorter content occasionally as well! In our first "mini episode", we discuss the prospect of playing Overwatch, the current state of the podcast, a short retrospective on our first 5 episodes, and recommend some lesser-known, "hidden gem" type games that you may want to check out. We also talk a bit more about the contest/give-away we will be doing when we hit 100 subscribers on YouTube!

We here on the podcast all fell in love with the MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) genre during the early days of Defense of the Ancients (or DotA) on Warcraft 3. What began as a diversion from more "serious" games has quickly turned into one of the most popular genres in all of gaming that commands big time cash and notoriety at tournaments. On this episode, we speak with guests Andrew and Mike about our early days playing MOBAs and what sets them apart at a casual and professional level from other games.

Coming off of an episode where we discussed a game with serious nostalgic value, we are coming back this week with another game with similar personal attachment for VERY different reasons. The Super Smash Brothers series has become an absolute staple of multiplayer gaming, party gaming, and fighting gaming at large, and appeals to an incredibly wide fan base. In this installment, we discuss why SSB is such a love-letter to gaming fans in general, share some of our personal tips for excelling at the series, and even explain how to have some adult fun while indulging in such a great series. Take a listen.

The time has come. Final Fantasy 7, a game that needs no

MMOs have been a big part of all of our gaming experiences, so
