February 21, 2013Episode 40: Final Fantasy Tactics (Part 1)
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross calculate the best way to make a podcast about the first half of Final Fantasy Tactics.
A bitter war of succession, flowery prose, and grid-based combat. In what might be our most technical and considered podcast ever, we dive into the particulars of this storied title to find out exactly why Ramza’s quest has such lasting appeal.
We play up through the end of Chapter 2. The next episode will see us talking about the last half.

February 07, 2013Episode 39: Video Game Music and Sound
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross make some noise about video game music and sound.
We talk about it a lot: music and sound can make or break the game. In this unusual episode of the show, we do a deep dive into the history and particulars of why sound is important.
NOTE: At no point do we talk about Parappa the Rapper in this episode. That’s a travesty.

Well, this game is delightful. It looks and sounds awesome, and is some of the best platforming to come out of the Mario series. Oh, and throwing eggs is great, too.

January 10, 2013Episode 37: Parasite Eve
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross take a microscope to Parasite Eve.
Organelles have run amok on New York City! It’s up to you to kill an actress who is possessed by your younger sister or an ancient woman from Africa or something! Squaresoft got really, really ambitious when they made this RPG/Survival Horror game. It was almost one of the best games we played, but it fell apart spectacularly toward the end. So it goes.

You’re Jake Armitage, but you don’t know that. You wake up dead in a city crawling with people who want you to be even deader. You point and click and shoot your way to answers about who you are, and who killed you. This is a weird, weird game, but we kind of liked it.
