Some Other Podcast, Episode 40: Midget Zombie Clowns

We hope everyone has had/is having a perfectly wonderful holiday season!  We know we are; after all, thanks to this week’s special guests, Dan and Joe, we finally get to gorge ourselves upon the long-awaited Fudgie the Whale!  What better way to celebrate the coming of the new year than with chocolate crunchies and talk about (what [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Confessions of a Backlogged Gamer, Week 7: Addiction

A few days ago, I made a comment to Elaine that pretty much sums up my recent gaming habits, and it was this: I can’t just like a game; I have to be obsessed with it.  That’s about where I am this week.  I’m still playing Star Ocean (even though it’s gotten weeeeeeeird), I’m still [...]

Some Other Podcast, Episode 2: Tequila of the Dead

What better day is there to drink and talk about games and drink than St. Patrick’s Day?  Yeah, that’s what we thought too.  To make up for the delay caused by my zombie plague, we are extra awesome this week, even though we forgot to introduce ourselves: for those of you not paying attention, I’m [...]

Confessions of a Backlogged Gamer, Weeks 5 & 6: The Plague Intrudes

The reasons I didn’t update my backlogged adventures last week are twofold: first, because I came down with a nasty case of the death (this is also the reason the podcast has been delayed), and second, because…. well, because not much happened in Week 5.  However, I have made some progress since then, and I’ve [...]
