The next episode will be in two weeks, and will begin our discussion of Portal.  As the game is short, we will all have played through the whole thing, but our discussion in the first episode will primarily cover everything before Chapter 19.

A reminder that you can always follow us for updates on our twitter.

We discuss the item designs in Link to the Past, the overworld navigation post-Titan's Mitt, and three Dark World dungeons: Thieves' Town, Ice Palace, and Misery Mire.

The next episode will be in two weeks, and will cover the remainder of the game.

Portal is currently available on Steam for only $0.99, if you grab it before Wednesday!  No reason not to grab it now, and join us in playing it as soon as we're done with Link to the Past.

We discuss the design and structure of the Dark World, and its first three dungeons.

The next episode will be in two weeks, and will cover dungeons 4-6 in the Dark World.

For those who didn't hear at the end of our last episode on Final Fantasy 6: our next game will be: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past!

Like Final Fantasy 6, Link to the Past was originally on SNES.  A remake was made for Game Boy Advance, that you can play on a GBA or Nintendo DS.  Finally, it's available on the Virtual Console online store on a Nintendo 3DS, Wii, or Wii U.

As with Final Fantasy 6, you can listen and play along, or simply listen.  This is game is shorter than FF6, so, especially if you've never played Link to the Past, consider giving it a try!

The first episode will be on Monday 5/22, and we will play from the start of the game through the Eastern Palace.
