Hi all, Esper Quinn here. Normally when we make Bonus Credit episodes, it’s the panel talking about movies or funny anecdotes from life. That’s fun, and we hope you enjoy that. But this episode is for the true sickos who want a few dozen Playstation 1 RPG recommendations from Tim Rogers to Brandon Sheffield, including a game “you can talk about and nobody else will have played it.” Enjoy!

Author of The CRPG Book Felipe Pepe joins the panel to determine what CRPGs are, how to play them, and what happened with the Gollum game. Hosted by Alex Jaffe, with Frank Cifaldi, Tim Rogers, Brandon Sheffield, and Felipe Pepe. Edited by Esper Quinn, original music by Kurt Feldman.

If you have any questions you’d like to ask about Final Fantasy XVI, please submit them to me here.

2023-06-18 18:47:31 +0000 UTC View PostHello, it's brandon! I had some time to reminisce about E3 during this summer of gaming trip, and remembered that my first E3 in 1999, I had written some things for an ancient website called hierographix. Unfortunately most of that was lost, or never published, because the website was frankly just one guy's fan project (I didn't quite realize as I was just coming out of highschool). But I did manage to find my "preview" of E3 2001, talking about what I might expect from the upcoming show. Thi...

Questions this week:
Hey folks - due to multiple points of failure we are delaying the episode by a day or so - some audio was lost that made the episode very difficult to produce! We're working on something that may or may not come together but it's taking some time.
Please bear with us! This has also somewhat delayed our bonus episode, so... a cascade of difficulties. We'll update you all soon!
Brandon here! Onispumoni made my emotion AMV mashup, referenced in the last episode, so I figured I'd share it with you.
Tradegood did a youtube shorts version that's got a different vibe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fziSNp17iqw
and since it got hit with a takedown on tiktok, that version uses the live performance version which gives it a different flavor (bit off key, heck) 2023-04-18 22:52:21 +0000 UTC

But we knew you'd want to hear this odd, drunk boy-band AI Frank, so we present for you a two second segmen...
