Remind me, when all is said and done, NOT to believe people when they tell me that a game is linear and that I don’t need a strategy guide. I am incredibly directionally challenged. Even the map isn’t enough sometimes, and when that map consists of little more than big blocks without even a nifty [...]

Some Other Podcast, Episode 8: The Re-Peggling, OR: Corn Brain Salad
We couldn’t decide on a title this week, so you get two! Aren’t you lucky? I may sound a bit stuffy this week, but that’s only because I’m on the verge of death. It’s cool though, because cold meds and booze combine to get me through the podcast in one piece. Join us for spirited [...]

Confessions of a Backlogged Gamer, Week 12: Loose Ends
I’ve never actually played a Ratchet and Clank game before; yeah, I know it’s a really big series, and being a fan of platformers (although not, of course, a bigger fan than I am of JRPGs), I probably should have picked one up before now to give it a whirl. I didn’t, though. After the [...]
Some Other Podcast, Episode 7: I Love Dwagons
This episode our girl party was interrupted by a boy! It’s cool though because we invited him. Steve (one of our newly added writers) joins us to talk about Henry Hatsworth, JRPGs (and how Leah ruins lives), Leah’s Star Ocean problem, NPDs, and all sort of other miscellaneous news like stuff. We also answer some [...]

Confessions of a Backlogged Gamer, Week 11: Just When You Thought It Was Over….
Yeah, I was kind of under the impression that when I defeated the final boss of Star Ocean, around hour 59, that the game would be over. Not so! During the movie-length cutscenes that followed the battle, I idly flipped the page of the strategy guide which had become pretty much permanently glued to my [...]
Some Other Podcast, Episode 6: Porn and Pokemon
Hi, kids! Did you miss us? Yeah, us too. But you really have to stop calling so late…. people are going to talk. Instead, you can listen to us ramble on about Elaine’s tentative steps into the RPG realm, the problems with collector’s editions, and the perils of importing fancy shinies. I also do a lot of crying in this episode. Thanks a lot, Squenix.

Confessions of a Backlogged Gamer, Weeks 8-10: Poppycock!
I know, I know…. lazy Leah, right? Sorry for the gap between updates, folks, but to make up for it, I *do* have a significant amount of progress to report! As of this writing, since last time, I have finished one game, blasted through most of a second, and put a cool twenty or so [...]
Some Other Podcast, Episode 5: She Got Cupcaked
We’re just a bit late this week due to zombie plague and various scheduling unpleasantness, but fear not! Your intrepid hosts are back for week 5. Speaking of zombie plague, Elaine tries very hard to hack up a lung during this episode, but don’t worry, she’s still alive…. mostly. I didn’t even have to pull out the shotgun! I’d say that counts as a victory. Tune in for discussion on the end of a Puzzling era, Elaine’s complete 180 on the DSi, and whether virtual baby seals need love too.
