INFINITE PERFECT 001: Watch It Move [Burning Rangers]

Hello and welcome to Infinite Perfect, a new periodic Retrograde Amnesia podcast series built to assemble the devastating anecdotal happenstance that connects one of the hosts to their favorite games. Our debut episode covers the Sega Saturn's Burning Rangers, a game that is either horrendous to the senses or dazzling to the eyes. It all depends on your point of view.

Stay in Line! Poll Closes Monday! | Choose the subject of the next miniseries

The results are in, and the next miniseries (our 5th miniseries!) will be a new installment of GOD BLESS THE RING.

After joking about the subtitle of Ehrgeiz during a tangent in the Final Fantasy VIII series, we created GOD BLESS THE RING as venue to discuss Beat 'Em Ups and Fighting Games. We did a fun episode on Double Dragon with (thanks) Mark, but we haven't really had the opportunity to get any more of these types of pods in, so we're running it back in the form of a premium minis...

Poll | Help us choose the next miniseries theme

For the next miniseries, we're going to go with one of two themes. 

1) A traditional JRPG theme, which would bring back some of the losers from previous polls (ex: Phantasy Star IV, Live A Live, Super Mario RPG, etc.) 

2) A GOD BLESS THE RING type series where we'll cover game that are a little action-oriented (Godhand, Metal Gear Rising, Shenmue, Yakuza, etc.)

Anime on DVD: Xenosaga - The Animation [Episode 3]

Where is the real you, sleeping in this moment? The real is are becoming bigger than 6mm, compressing a venetian mask to 1D, laying out fiendish plans, skipping Ziggy’s entire plot, making more shitty holes, double christ-posing, expressing more prime directives, appreciating a knock off, rejecting Allen’s confidence, realizing Momo is a 100 Series prototype, discovering UTIC is alive and well, and sincerely believing this show looks good and also bad. Two people. Different views. Why? View Post

Anime on DVD: Xenosaga - The Animation [Episode 2]

The tortured cries of the dead are so loud, they’re bursting my eardrums. Let us burst your own drums as we’re starting the beginning at the last ending, laying out how much anime to skip, blowing a superior tunnel, meeting Albedo aboard the Woglinde, shading the characters poorly, losing the orgasm, reassigning secret UTIC guys, chucking Shion in an AWGS hand, making the hole look like shit, explaining the Hilbert Effect with efficient clarity, killing an unexpected character, letting an...

Hi welcome to season five’s bonus content, where we’re covering/dealing with the twelve episode anime series, Xenosaga: The Animation. For its first episode, we’re paying $30 for two animes, buying anime on September 11th 2001, touching the Zohar, erasing Dr. Mitsuda, jumping in a shitty mecha, keeping bimbo language, seeing our own little girl, finding a 100 Series on the Woglinde, reflecting filial duty, smelling Realians with Virgil, debating free will with that 100 Series, introduci...

Hey, the Xenosaga pod starts kind of soonish

Hi everyone,

I haven't made a post in a while, so here's a post. 

Season 5 (featuring Xenosaga Episode I) is on the way. We're already six episodes deep into production, which sounds like a lot, but we're usually a bit further ahead. Part of that is because there are many life things happening right now. My kids do sports and I have to mule them around quite a bit — I don't really mind it though, it's kind of a fun way to bullshit with the dads, be outside, and see the litt...

Suikogaiden Vol. 2 - Duel at Crystal Valley: To Be Buried in Darkness [Full Game]

So, the lowlifes have returned. As we live Nash’s life, we’re expunging our record, celebrating the Hoof & Grass Foot Flute Feast, repeating the knife throwing trick, battling Fire Bandits, tasting divine punishment, boiling bad guys alive, working off a circus slavery debt, thinking of my aunt as my sister, getting arrested, getting punched or kissed by Lena, favoring points over a kobald, clocking out and letting Nash go, keeping the truth to myself, coming from the World of Wings a...

Suikogaiden Vol 1: Swordsman of Harmonia E2: Forest Law/Martial Law

Say brother, are you a traveler? Travel with us as we’re dealing with a flurry of motherfuckers, finding a naked lady in the woods, accidentally stealing a horse, making creative use of gunpowder, shining light on a child murder club, loading blank bullets, looking at shitty wolf clip art, feeling the magic swords corrupt our souls, slurping weak soup in front of starving people, drawing Shin poorly, witnessing Teresa’s ascent into the hearts of the people, lying to inspire crowd confiden...

Suikogaiden Vol 1: Swordsman of Harmonia E1: Obtaining of the Butter

What do you know of furniture? As we explore the paradox of reading a videogame, we’re watching weapons-grade anime in da Chaco Zone, carrying Sierra on our backs, desiring a bath, gobbling up food, fighting the butler, wishing for the gift of death, performing a hand stab, sniffing out a Harmonia accent, calling out Templeton’s truancy, accidentally admiring a fascist, eating Nanami’s cooking, thinking this shit is (not) boring, chatting up Jillia, presenting Jowy with a morality dagge...
