    Episode 152: Nintendo Power Mar 09, 2017
    Show notes

    Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross thumb through the history of Nintendo Power, and visit some other game magazines along the way.

    Every year we choose a special topic for a special episode, and we've wanted to cover this year's topic for a while: Nintendo Power. While this magazine was specific to America, most major regions had their own version of an official Nintendo sponsored publication. This episode takes a look at the history of the magazine, talks about the usual contents, and reflects on video game magazines as a whole.

    Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll that determined the topic of this episode. We really appreciate it!

    Episode 151: Shadow of Destiny Feb 23, 2017
    Show notes

    Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross will always have been talking about Shadow of Destiny (or also Shadow of Memories).

    If you're sensitive to us being negative about games, this might be one to skip. Eike Kusch is fated to die, but a strange interloper has given him the power to manipulate time itself so he can find out who killed him (and why). From that great premise springs a truly awkward adventure game, filled with early PS2 charm, but completely baffling. On the plus side, it serves as a very good example of how not to do time travel puzzles.

    Episode 150: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Feb 09, 2017
    Show notes

    Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross delve through Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for our 150th episode spectacular!

    We're creatures of habit and pattern, not creatures of the night. Whenever we hit one of these big anniversary episodes, we want to blow the doors off and really play something noteworthy. Symphony of the Night is one of the most beloved games of all time. It took elements of Super Metroid, added RPG elements, and created a genre that still dominates certain parts of the industry. But looking back, we try to decide if it all hangs together as well as we remember.

    Thanks so much for listening and joining us for 150 episodes (and more).

    Episode 149: Dishonored 2 Jan 22, 2017
    Show notes

    Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross take a vacation to the present to talk about Dishonored 2.

    The original Dishonored is an amazing game with a pedigree that made it perfect fodder for the show. Following in the footsteps of Deus Ex and Thief, this series was always going to be something we'd swoon over. That said, would Arkane be able to top themselves the second time around? Listen to find out... but the short answer is this: Extra refinements to the play somewhat paper over some story, world, and thematic shortfalls that still end up being bummers in their own right.

    Show notes

    Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross flash through Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 2.

    We're home again. Watch Out for Fireballs! began with an episode about Mega Man X, and now it's time to talk about Capcom's platforming superstar at the height of his powers. After a shaky debut in Mega Man 1, Mega Man 2 came out of the gate as one of the best games of all time, with memorable stages, music, and bosses. Mega Man 3 iterated on that formula and maybe reached a little too far, but it's still some top tier NES stuff.
