IP273: The #1 Taco Bell Podcast Apr 12, 2016

Show notes

Breakdown:

Heads up: we had to use our Back Up Audio this week so if the sound quality isn’t quite as sharp, apologies! <3
Nabeshin is absent this week, so we picked Danny Juarez up off the street! We love that adorable weeb!
Games this week has us entering the Gungeon, Quantum Breaking time, losing our minds in Miitomo, getting dunked on in Isaac, and something about Dark Souls.
Oh and how could I forget the 45 minutes straight we spend on mobile games. Really, it’s just Clash of Clans. Oh god.
We talk some news this week, what with more Final Fantasy VII ideas and speculation and some cool stuff you can do in that PS4 firmware update.
We round things out by spending a ton of time talking about Taco Bell as Alex gets progressively more insane.
That’s the show! Follow Danny, he is super cool! Check out our Let’s Plays, we love them!

Breakdown:

It’s a short show, with somber tones and every is tired. Sorry, but trust me, we had a good time.
We talk about Carbuncle, DUSCAE, platinum demos, and Stardew. Oh, and some reflections on what a great game Resident Evil 6 is.
We take a break into news, reflect on Allison Rapp, we wish her the best in wherever she goes. Also all that Final Fantasy XV.
We get some weird voicemails and talk about Polygon’s agenda.
That’s the show, apologies for the lateness!

IP271: They Ruined Superman! Mar 30, 2016

Show notes

Breakdown:

In the absence of Tony, Trevor Starkey joins the podcast crew this week!
Don’t forget to check out the cool stuff we have going on on the website, because there is plenty of cool stuff going up there!
In games this week, Alex reflects on Persona 4 Golden, and then Scott spends 45 minutes building up Alex and Trevor’s dreams with Stardew Valley, and destroying them with Clash Royale talk. This is the end of all video games.
In news we have some layoffs, and some messy NX rumors.
AUDIO ISSUES: I know there was some static at the beginning of news. It's fixed at 1:16:04, if you want to jump to then.
Tony comes back from the dead and we peak into the Mailsack, allowing us to reflect, evolve, and then...
We Netflix and Chill! Some Daredevil Season 2 talk, maybe some spoilers, relax.
Check out Trevor’s website and follow his writing!

Breakdown:

What’s better than one 69? Two 69! Happy 269, Jarrett Green joins us for his 10th appearance on Irrational Passions Podcast. Strap in!
The intro gets pretty macho and takes a while. Check out Alex’s blog to see some of his other writings! http://alexloneill.tumblr.com/! Check out what he is putting down.
We talk games! We go right into The Division and what works and what doesn't for that game. We cover Street Fighter, allude to Omega Quintet, get knee deep in Fire Emblem and Spelunky. Nabeshin is still in the rut, and Alex revisits Persona 4 Golden.
We dive into news, forget about E3 stuff, talk the end of Lionhead, Fable, and what’s coming in Street Fighter.
More voicemail call out sin the mailsack, so prepare yourself!
We skip our closing topic for Alex’s hard-out.

Show notes

Breakdown:

We’re back at it again, with the white vans, and Alex and Nabeshin kick things off this week, sans Scott. He was in the bonus content though!
Tony joins us a bit late to talk about his article, and video games! We played some Pokémon, Hitman, Fire Emblem, being in a weird place, Mass Effect, and Stardew Valley.
We have a ton of news to conquer this week: No Man’s Sky has a date, the PSP store is going away, Nintendo had a Direct, the New 3DS is a thing again, and we’re gonna super-cut our rendition of the SEGA “Are we still worth it?” survey!
We take a few voicemails and an email, having us call out friends and questioning our sanity.
That’s the show! Go buy the new Ninja Sex Party Album!

Breakdown:

Tony edits the podcast, so all bets are off! Don’t worry though, Alex still writes the description that probably no one reads.
Nabeshin had a birthday! Tony is having a birthday! Birthdays everywhere! And Nabeshin is back, thank god.
We talk about video games, catching up with Smash and oh god we talked about Final Fantasy Explorers for like 45 minutes. I swear it may have been kind of interesting though.
Alex beat XCOM 2, played Fire Emblem Fates, and we check in with The Division’s open beta.
News this week has us question the vailidity of Fallout 4, price of VR, and the DICE award winners.
SilverPR asks us about games and that’s the show! Thanks for listening!
