  • Great insightful podcast

    One of these guys works in the business world and the other guy is a literature teacher (I think) so they give a great perspective on the stories of games as well as the business of games. Very great and very underrated

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 200!!!
Q: Where do you see AAA gaming in the next five years?
I think there will be a resurgence back to shorter, more dense games similar to what was seen in early 2000s gaming. The trend will likely emphasize smaller, quickly made games rather than vast, expensive projects.
Episode 200!!!
Q: How has your relationship with games changed as you've gotten older?
I've noticed that I get less of that immersive feeling from games as I age, making it rarer to experience something truly captivating. I'm also more willing to try various games, even those I believe I might not enjoy, and I'm more discerning about which ones to pick.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Q: Is this your Game of the Year front runner?
Yes, although Dragon's Dogma II is close behind it.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Q: Has your opinion towards any of the main party members changed after seeing them in Rebirth versus the original game?
Yes, particularly Yuffie, who is less annoying than before, and Tifa, who stands out as tactful and emotionally aware among the characters.
The Game Maker Series - The Hayseed Knight
Q: Maxi, can you tell us a little about the process of getting The Hayseed Knight made? How did you find the voice actors?
Maxi discusses how he initially reached out to one voice actor on Twitter, posting casting calls to find actors, emphasizing the joy of discovering new talent.
