Holy shit, that "Respect Every Animal" song was amazing!
A lot of the music this episode was great. They really need to start listing it with this week's episode, instead of the next one. It's really silly the way they do that.
Psssst, there's another episode up. I'm working an overnight shift parking llistelis fuck sorry my phone sucks. Listening now. I thought they were bullying me again but I guess it was something about an armadillo .I kept picturing armoured armadillo from Megaman X because That game had the best bosses of all time. Chill Penguin, I mean come on. That was peak video game.
I'm so tired I can barely remember anything about this episode and to be honest I stopped at the Capcom part. IceIfick fuck. Sorry. IveI I've been working for line two days straight ~3 hrs sleep at this point. But the typos are pure broken phone. I think they talked about sleep at some point. Get more sleep, everyone. This is coming from someone currently working in a sleep lab staring at brainwaves of people sleeping while sleep deprived. They probably do this to people in Guantanamo.
Dark Souls Remastered reminded me how original Firelink Shrine is one of the most iconic areas in video game history. Also the Taurus Demon jumping on the bridge, oh to relive that moment for the first time. Also when he jumps up to the tower where we all tried to cheese him. Design mastery. Dark Souls should have gotten a Pulitzer or whatever elecrelectfuck electronic equivalent.
Can anybody tell me why my autocomplete suggests actual English words and yet when I click on them they paste gubbeegib? Gibberish. Fucking hell that wasn't even on purpose. Need a new phone. What's the best phone to get? I'm a destitute postdoc with small pockets literally and figuratively.
Great episode! I think? The show misses JJ if for nothing else than to be the Shane to Mark's Luke. But keep 'em coming for those of us working the graveyard shift. Even if nobody bothered to mention the

And now…a list of music used in our previous episode!
JJ left on episode 200 (I think?) Because the commute was taking a toll on him and his family. We miss him, and it isn't the same, but show must go on
Whoever compared Bloodstained to Kirby, try a no sacrifice solo Zangetsu run and get back to us.
Did anyone else notice the weird cut at 51:40 in the latest episode? Dermot was pissed off about some SMTIV: Apocalypse character. I bought SMTIV: Apocalypse a few weeks ago (still haven't started playing it) and I was really interested in his thoughts...do I just have a corrupt file?
Nope, I heard it on mine too. Maybe they cut it because it's a spoiler?
Huh, that's strange. Something must've gotten borked during the publishing process. Sorry about that!
For those interested, here's what I had to say about SMTIV: Apocalypse, plus a little extra:
I like the game. It's more SMTIV, which I loved, but my problem with Apocalypse is it's tonally inconsistent. Asahi, the girl I mentioned on the show, takes the early events of the story really hard, but is somehow completely fine moments later. That transition felt jarringly unnatural, and made me put the game down for about four months. But like I said, I do like it, so I came back to it, after I'd decided she had mourned long enough in my headcanon. I put in about five more hours, which were much better, and then the story became even more dire and Asahi blew it off again in her bubbly way and I put it down again. I'm all for moments of levity *occasionally*, but so far Asahi has been nothing but unbridled ludonarrative dissonance. Which is rough, because I actually think a lot of the writing is really good, and aesthetically it's awesome. But it seems the original devs weren't quite able to commit to the grim tone Apocalypse aspires to evoke--Asahi is only the most egregious example--which is especially odd/frustrating considering the first game did it so well. I'll keep playing, but if she keeps that nonsense up I'm not sure I'll finish it.
As peeps pointed out on the podcast though, it's possible that Asahi is actually just mentally shattered after what happened and putting on a brave face. I like that angle, and I hope that's the case, but if it is that character development has been far from tactful.
TL;DR: I like SMTIV:A but it keeps pushing me away with clumsy narrative execution.
And again, sorry for the weird cut! I'll make sure this week's show leaves the station with all the carriages attached.
And we're gonna be getting E3 Hype Train and the first episode of Capcom Confidential back to back, followed by E3 itself! I have stuff I need to get done this weekend... D:
Tetris Effect hypeeee. Great reveal and a really well done trailer.
Hope to hear more soon on the podcast.

Wow, time flies. New episode already. Listening now.
Right off the bat, 2 things:
- Holy shit, John's pain sounds excruciating. Hope he feels better, and hopefully he doesn't have to go through that ever again. I recently made a conscious decision to stop using drinking as my default social activity, and I can attest that, while life is certainly no longer worth living, I do feel much healthier in the body and mind. Ginger beers / Ginger ales aren't so bad once you get used to ordering them as your go-to. Your liver & wallet will love you for it.
- Can't stop laughing at Mark's genuine bemusement during:
"Oh, you're the best man? Are you giving a speech? Can you give us a little... does he listen to this podcast?"
"Yeah."
"He does!!?!"
Ahahaha. I have the same reaction when people tell me they've read my research pubs.

"Where was the excitement for smash"
Everywhere? It was one of the most tweeted about games of the show, and generated a shit load of buzz. Sometimes the people on this podcast seem horribly out of touch to the people listening.

I know its his schtick, but Mark talking over everyone else was extra grating this episode. Take a valium, dude.
Hype Train Appreciation
I wanted to state that the hype train (shoutout to the Quad City) DJs was one of the funniest things to listen to over the past few casts. I just introduced the podcast to my brother, and I specifically highlighted the hype train music as a positive. I was pleased to receive multiple "E3 hype traaaaaain" texts over the course of the week.
That is all.

I know exactly what you John went through as I went through a similar process of exacting my kidney stones. The hospital in Japan I went to didn't give me the option of sound option to break the stones. Instead they extracted my kidneys through my penis, in a procedure called Cystoscopy Male via Penis Surgery. That was PAINFUL! They numbed my body from the waist down using a massive needle into my spine, that wasn't fun and the feeling of the instrument being inserted into my penis and into my bladder is something I'd like to delete from my memory.

8-4 saying ghost of Tsushima doesn't look impressive, trees have infinite leaves and it will be bad without playing it... they might have jumped the shark.
Respect to Mark trying to bring back the conversation back to common sense.
