With Dissidia releasing tomorrow for the PSP, I thought it would be a good time to wrap up my Final Fantasy rankings. This mini-series of mine has required a lot more thought than I anticipated, but it’s turned out to be a ton of fun to write, so I hope everyone else is enjoying reading [...]

Some Other Podcast, Episode 24: Pants Deficiency
For the record, I did keep my pants on for the entire episode…. no matter how tempting it may have been. This week, our very own Sam and Jenn, of World of Workout and Geek Culture fame respectively, join us for an hour of fun ramblings! Tune in as we chat about Sony’s dumbness (yeah, [...]

Bonus Dungeons: Leah’s Final Fantasy Primer, Part 2
In lieu of my usual Backlogged post for the week (and because I haven’t really been doing much other than playing WoW obsessively), I’ve decided to return to my Final Fantasy rankings for the next installment. I really wasn’t expecting the outpouring of support that X-2 got, but I still won’t be including it in [...]
Random Encounters: Leah’s Final Fantasy Primer, Part 1
A question that we received via listener mail (LISTENER MAIL!) for our last podcast got me thinking; I’ve been a Square Enix fangirl for a long time, and in particular, I rank the Final Fantasy series among my favorite games of all. But what does that mean, really? Looking solely at the numbered installments, which [...]
Some Other Podcast, Episode 9: Meat Log
Once again the ladies return for another ridiculous episode of Some Other Podcast. This week Elaine talks about her fox friend, social linking and fighting badies in Persona 4 while Leah sits in a corner making a shiv out of her toothbrush. We think the shiv was inspired by The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena but one can never be completely sure. In the news the discussion ranges from a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 release date and a remake of Turtles in Time to sex offenders in Texas. The girls also chat a bit about Fallout 3’s Broken Steel DLC being busted, 3D Realms closing, layoffs at MS, and the lack of a FFXIII demo on the US version of the Advent Children Blu-ray. All this plus listener mail!

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 [...]

Ten Things #1
Welcome to Ten Things, the latest ongoing idea that we hope to incorporate as a regular feature into our site. For those of you that might not listen to the podcast (shame on you!), we debuted the concept there, but ended up deciding that it would work out better as a column idea, so here [...]
Handbook of Great Justice
I talked a bit on the podcast this week about the Mother 3 handbook designed and sold by the great folks over at Fangamer.net. The Mother series is one near and dear to my heart because it is one of the only series of RPGs I have ever played to completion. Earthbound (aka Mother 2) [...]
