We Thought About Games

Sid and Amy talk game demos while Phoenix's internet wavers, Sid is beset by police sirens, and the crew bemoans bad long game experiences.

Sid is joined by Goggalor and ZenScissors to discuss Resident Evil CODE: Veronica (and its rerelease). Hear all about the entry that finally pushed its characters out of acting like they're in the real world by making them realize they're in some kind of bizarre operatic anime.

Listen in WONDER as recording on the eve of July 4th in America goes... surprisingly well!

The team muses about beating the game with a knife, the awful Resident Evil films, the nice Tyrant asses, and Leon being BFFs with the president. Stay ‘til the end for a lovely speech from Alfred!

Miijhal ruins a serious, thoughtful discussion about symbol chat, followed by collective mockery of Phantasy Star Universe and terrible early design choices in Phantasy Star Online 2. The crew laments Sega’s failures in localizing PSO2 and then the failures of the Southeast Asian release. Then some *FAN COMMUNITY DRAMA*. Bonus episodes are all bile and tears.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of We Thought About Games! For episode 1, Sid (failing to introduce himself) is joined by NextTime, Miijhal, and Kirbysuperstar to discuss innovative and influential online action-RPG Phantasy Star Online. It’s three and a half hours of what can charitably be called “openly structured” discussion. Episode 2 will probably have a more detailed outline to work from.
