I suppose this is a bit of a spoiler. But Kingdom Hearts III has been out for two months, and the screenshot (and subsequent art) of some kind of possessed/evil/Nobody version of Aqua leaked forever ago. We’ll get through this … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Anti-Aqua (Kingdom Hearts III)
There are so many things to say about Kingdom Hearts III now that it’s finally upon us. In fact, we’ll probably be devoting something like an hour and a half of podcast material to it, because reaching the end of … Continue reading Kingdom Hearts III (PS4): First Impressions
I miss John Marston. Okay, that’s not fair. Arthur Morgan is the protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2, and he’s charming and interesting in his own right. Morgan’s a bit less eloquent than Marston, and a bit rougher around the … Continue reading First Impressions: Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4)

I have very little exposure to the Dragon Quest series. I first attempted to play Dragon Quest VIII on my PlayStation 2 as a high school student, and while I recall very little of the short experience, I can only … Continue reading Thoughts on Dragon Quest XI: The First 10 Hours
