Caitlin and Alan talk about our favorite settings. From the features of a game to our favorite virtual places. Mostly our favorite (favourite??) places. So much of what we love about games starts with where they take place.

Francis, Anya, Caitlin, and Alan team up to dive into the random genre of Roguelikes. Francis gives us a definition of Rogue- Like vs Rogue-Lite. Then Anya points out that no one uses these terms correctly! We all share our first Roguelikes and dig into some favorites. We also talk about the relationship between streamers, developers, and us the audience.

Caitlin and Alan discuss all things tutorial and intro. Caitlin explains why Twilight Town is better than Destiny Island, we both choose the third in a trilogy, and then we start making some crazy turns. We get into golf games, farming, and crashing cars for fun. As you do.

Caitlin and Alan talk about the Final Fantasy 7 Compilation! Is it storytelling or a franchise? We reveal our main party members, why Aerith is the best, and we dig into that ending. The Compilation is huge and we have not seen every part of it. What do you think The Promised Land is?

Caitlin and Alan go into a Boss Rush. We list some of the best (and worst) bosses we have faced over our gaming careers. Caitlin is all about the story, but Alan is all about the fight. We can all agree that the Sephiroth fight from Final Fantasy 7 is epic! And that music…

Caitlin and Alan talk about the future of gaming. Alan talks about trying to make his ideal game. Is there a JRPG Fighting Game? We decide we don’t want to make a game- we just want to be handed everything we want. Cozy Game meets JRPG. A new Act Raiser (that is good). What is your ideal game?

Caitlin and Alan talk about their favorite games of the last 25 years. Caitlin reveals she doesn’t have rhythm. and Alan loves girly games. We want you to get to know us, and what better way than to share with you the games that shaped our tastes these past couple of decades?

Caitlin and Alan decide if Video Games are allowed to be Art. We talk about Blue Prince and then start digging into how using a fork to eat is the very soul of art. Kind of. Video games might teach us empathy better than any other art form? Do they deliver an ego death to the player? We discuss.

Caitlin and Alan are talking about VIDEO GAMES! We are old so we talk about ancient DOS games, Atari, Nintendo, and arcade games. Did you know that video games can have a STORY?? That is what hooked Caitlin. Alan was just duped by the gendered propaganda. Video Games are for boys! We love JRPGs but we discovered that western RPGs could be good too! Hello Dragon Age.
