  • 155: Shenmue (with Luis Aguasvivas)

    155: Shenmue (with Luis Aguasvivas)
    Mar 5 2025
    I remember reading about Shenmue (AM2 of CRI, Sega, 2000) in the magazines back in the day and really marveling at how cool it all sounded- a revenge/investigation story, a town with characters that live their own lives outside of interacting with you, life in small-town Japan...but I didn't have a Dreamcast, so I never got to play it and eventually forgot about it as everyone else seemed to move on too. But over the past 5 years, I've also become a huge fan of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series, and I eventually decided it was finally time to play Shenmue. Listen in to the discussion to hear what we think! Guest info: Luis Aguasvivas.

    154: Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (with John Rogers - Gaming in the Wild)
    Feb 26 2025
    When Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (Jump over the Age / Gareth Damian Martin, 2025) was announced, it was a surprise, but it also jumped straight to the top of my most anticipated games list. And while it fulfills the promise of a sequel by doubling down on the strengths of the first game, it also introduces some harsh mechanics that took a lot of people by surprise.

  • 153: Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (with MarcoMeatball)

    153: Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (with MarcoMeatball)
    Feb 19 2025
    Sometimes I think I know about video games, and then a series that I'd been ignoring for years absolutely blows me away. Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (Namco, 2004) is one of those games. Exhilerating air combat, the best spectacle that the PS2 could offer, and a grand and amazing soundtrack all set the hooks, then a surprisingly good story pulls you along for the ride. I'm truly flourishing in my new Ace Combat arc, and this is the first of many Ace Combat episodes on the show. Guest info: MarcoMeatball- find him on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@MarcoMeatball) and Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/marcodmeatball.bsky.social)!
