Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross offer some pointed praise for Star Fox and Pokémon Snap.

In another one of our split EP episdes, we explore a foundational on-rails shooter, and an experimental on-rails shooter. Star Fox for the SNES will alway stick out in people’s minds as the game that introduced them to the term “polygons”. Pokémon Snap will always stick out in people’s minds as that really short game about making Pikachu surf. Let’s explore those preconceptions together, why don’t we?

Just a couple of bros just bro'ing out.

Kris and Kole talk about the cosmic secrets we gun down, new apps, and predation.

We made a tactical error. God has doves, Satan has crows. Mucus tasting mass. It's not racial, it's a distance knife. Don't ask me why I set myself on fire. Explaining Snap Chat. I'm a student of speech. Sneaky sharks. Miller Genuine Drone. Let's starve people for science.

Not everyone knows the creation myth for anime. One day in a peaceful village in Japan, a truck carrying a surplus of decimal places from the war overturned, spilling extra zeroes and permanently altering the population. What was once 20 was soon 20,000. And so on, and so on, in kind. That's why everything in anime is predicated on shouting ridiculously high numbers... because the creators had no other choice.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the Conviction Arc of the Berserk manga.

With the Golden Age covered, we are now venturing out beyond where any anime or movie has adapted the Berserk story. The Conviction Arc has a great structure: it's part Monster-of-the-Week and part "let's fulfill the promise of this horribly broken world". But, most of all, it gave us Serpico. Long live Serpico! This episode covers Volumes 14-22 of the manga.

• Berserk Volume 14
• Berserk Volume 15
• Berserk Volume 16
  • Berserk Volume 17
• Berserk Volume 18
• Berserk Volume 19

We've broken our pairing due to a technical glitch and instead, we're playing two games that couldn't be more different. Or could they? They couldn't. Or is that true? In this episode we talk about Dust, an Elysian Tale and Nidhogg.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about the Angry Birds NSA controversy, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, and we ask you about your favorite video game music.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross are joined by Levi, Nick, Ben, and Courtney for a very special live play session of Dungeons & Dragons.

We've been talking about it for a while, and here it finally is. Thanks to your Kickstarter donations, it was possible for us to record a live play session of Pathfinder, a Dungeons & Dragons style tabletop roleplaying game. The audio quality on this will sound a little different than our usual episodes, and it's not as thoroughly edited, but we wanted to give you the full experience of the play session.
