This week, we watched a movie about a city with a Thousand Planets, because we played a game with a Planet with Seven Planets. Next Time, we start Brave Story: New Traveler, and play The Prologue, Chapter 1 and Chapter 2! We only vaguely remembered that Luc Besson was a garbage pail during the podcast, and we looked it up after finishing recording, and he's a very gross garbage person, so if you want to watch this movie, pirate it. Brave Story is currently only available on UMD, as it was pulled from the PSN store recently, but it's not very expensive if you happen to have a PSP handy. -------------------------------------------------

30 Oct 2019 | By Request #1 - Higurashi: When They Cry - Part 2 - Chased by Shadows | 01:34:51 | |
Recently we opened up Commissions on our Ko-fi for people to get episodes covered for their favorite (or own!) game, and the first bite at the apple was by friend of the podcast, Francesco (The same one that came from New York to see us at Classic Game Fest!) So for this Episode, we played the Second half of Episode 1 of fan favorite Visual novel, Higurashi: When They Cry, by Ryukishi07, as well as the optional epilogue and TIPS. While this isn't the first game we've played that dealt with gruesome themes (Like Persona 3), I think I would be remiss to not mention that this game does deal with some dark and gory details, so proceed with caution. If you'd like to play Higurashi, it's currently available from MangaGamer, who has it on Steam, GOG, and their own website, and each chapter of the game usually runs around 5 bucks. If you do, I suggest playing it with the wonderful 07th Mod, which gives you more support for modern systems, and some quality of Life updates. This is only 1/8th of the whole story, but if you'd like for us to cover Episode 2 and beyond, you can commission them yourself at ko-fi.com/rpgbookclub -------------------------------------------------

09 Mar 2019 | Bonus #3: Hiveswap Act 1 | 01:16:23 | |
Your name is DEAR LISTENER. You listen to a variety of PODCASTS. In particular you listen to THIS podcast, and that's most important. This podcast is about the HOMESTUCK ADVENTURE GAME called HIVESWAP, of which we only play the FIRST CHAPTER. Because that's all that exists yet. Let me tell you about Homestuck. If Homestuck sounds good, you can read it here. If Hiveswap sounds better (It's much much shorter), you can get that from Steam, here.

Sailor Eli's Playthrough of the Cancer King Ruins Reminder that patrons can vote on our next game, either Sailor Moon Another Story and Magic Knight Rayearth, both for the Super Famicom, and both not released in America, so a fan translation patch and an emulator will be how we play these games.

12 Nov 2018 | Xenogears - Part 10 - The Anima Relics | 02:10:00 | |
This week: The game takes a crazy turn, and becomes an avant garde black box theatre production of a visual novel. We focus on Elly and Fei's relationship, and wrap up a lot of dangling plot threads, getting ready for the big reveal of the ending.
