Constellation, Episode 114 | The Beatles, Staying Motivated, Our Definition of "Cool"

It's Constellation, where we do ALL the work and you just sit back, relax and enjoy the yield of our labor. It's a raw deal and we're tired of it. Time to start earning your keep around here! This is a set-up of a joke: "Three podcasters walk into a bar..." Now we need you to come up with a punchline and drop it down in the comments. Pull your weight! The reward is getting back on my good side, if you're lucky. Honestly, it's the least you can do. Join me (Dagan), Dustin, and Brad for another...

Knockback, Episode 286 | Final Fantasy V

In 1992, Final Fantasy V came to Super Famicom in Japan, but in the west, the seminal JRPG would remain a mystery for years. In 1999 (via PS1!) English-speaking audiences would gain access to the game for the first time (unless you played fan translations via emulator, of course), and since then -- whether on GBA, PC, phones, or more recently modern consoles -- FFV has always held an interesting place in the pantheon of great Final Fantasy titles. Is it as monumental as IV, VI, or VII? Not at...

Sacred Symbols+, Episode 439 | Moriarty x Jaffe: Great Expectations

Will Grand Theft Auto VI be the massive success everyone expects? Well, it better. With a budget almost certainly exceeding a billion dollars, and with thousands of people having worked on it over a decade, everyone's assumption should be that it's gonna be great. That's perfectly reasonable. But then again, there's always that lingering possibility that things could go very wrong, too. On today's episode of MxJ, we analyze GTAVI from multiple angles: Consumer cost, cultural relevance, market...

Sacred Symbols, Episode 349 | The Last of Us, Seriously

We're on the verge of the second season of HBO's The Last of Us, and yet new questions percolate about whether we'll ever see another game in Naughty Dog's vaunted series. In a recent interview, Neil Druckmann told fans "don't bet on there being more," which is both alluringly ominous and obviously vague. That's good news for us, though, since it gives us plenty to discuss. Do we need more? Do we want more? Should we get more? Plus: Rumors are ramping up about one-time Xbox titan Gears of War...

Defining Duke, Episode 218 | The Gears Collection Is REAL... And Not What We Expected...

After years of rumors, the Gears Of War Collection has become a bit of a running gag in the Xbox community. If it happens, great. If it doesn't, we never fully believed in it anyway. This week, we have Jez Corden to thank because it made for one of our fastest evolving stories mid-show! Starting off as a discussion of whether or not the Gears Of War Collection would ever happen, we quickly learned it is happening and... it won't have multiplayer. Is this a major dealbreaker for Xbox fans? Nat...
