Breakdown:

Will Mullins joins us this week! Apologies for the audio quality, there were some technical issues! Bear with us <3
Nabeshin is missing this week. Take a moment to appreciate that absence, and then tweet him that you miss him.
Video games this week is all about DmC talk, figuring out The Witness, explaining what Final Fantasy Explorers, and then falling in love with The Division. Also, so many games with “the” in it.
News this week is Alex falling for a hoax, talking about Sony restructuring, and whether or not EA pulling out of E3 makes sense.
We have a strongly worded email about DmC, and finally catch up with SilverPR!
That’s the show, thanks for listening! <3

Breakdown:

Michael Martin, freelancer extraordinaire joins us to talk Street Fighter, fighting games, and the future of video games! And some other inappropriate stuff, the works.
We kick things off with another reminder to please listen to our Game of the Year content if you haven’t already! It all came out so good!
We talk video games, like gaming ruts, finishing The Order 1886, Final Fantasy VII, Dragon Fin Soup, and Space Dwarves.
The news segment this week quickly changes to a discussion of the future of Nintendo. Where are they going? What will the NX be? What do we want it to be? All questions we have guesses for.

Show notes

Breakdown:

Welcome back! It’s the first regular show of 2016, and Irrational Passions Season II marches onward. Are you excited? We sure as hell are.
Alex kicks the show off by detailing some of our plans for 2016. Merch? We wanna make it a thing. Video games? We’re gonna talk about them. Guests? More on the way. A 5th IP host? Let the battle royale begin.
Let’s kick off the video game chat with Alex talking way too much about video games. Oh, and Tony played Bloodborne and we talk more things we missed over the holidays.
Nabeshin takes a break and dips out to feel better during the first break.
We discuss some news and come back into the new year with VR pricing structures, predictions on the new year, and being MLG.
We commit to the Mailsack and get some listener predictions.
That’s the show! Thanks for listening and we love you and happy new year!
