episode 144: The Two Types Of Video Game
Octopath Traveler II has gotten Jason thinking of a brand new taxonomy... the two types of video game. This week, the gang talks about flow vs. thought, JRPG story-telling, the brilliance of Octopath Traveler II (and how it out-classes the first game), and mysteries in Metroid Prime, Elden Ring, and so much more.
One More Thing:
Kirk: Cocaine Bear
Maddy: Robocop
Jason: Tracers in the Dark by Andy Greenberg
