Sticks and stones may break my bones, but swords and chains excite me. Should you climb the towers in Xseed's JRPG/adventure hybrid to save your cursed (and tragically whiny) girlfriend?

    I knew I recognized that soundtrack!

    For some reason, Nick's comments on TWD bothered me. Not that the game should be off-limits from criticism, but I think Nick has shown himself time and again to be the type of gamer who is constantly striving for the "perfect" playthrough. There's nothing wrong with that, that's just the way he likes to play

    Anthony said "Secret of Mana" so I was like, welp, no choice but to use that as the soundtrack this week. Glad you liked it :)

    but TWD doesn't lend itself well to that kind of approach. Just play without regret and without a plan toward a certain ending.

    I am also one of those gamers who likes to get a "perfect" playthrough, but I don't mind at all that it doesn't really work with The Walking Dead. My biggest complaint about the game is that the gameplay isn't compelling/entertaining enough to make me want to play through the game again while making different decisions. There's a great story and a lot of big decisions to make in that game, but I'll never know the other side of them because I can't imagine myself playing through it again.

    Also an excellent point. After the beginning of episode 3, I gave up on trying to control the narrative in any way. Episode 4 certainly helped reinforce this.

    Yeah I don't want to play through it twice. I'm kind of happy that it doesn't even encourage that in any way (achievements or new game plus or whatever). You experience it the one way and that's your Lee forever.

    Good Podcast. Ive only finished the walking dead twice but Ill admit I do wish the choices mattered just a bit more. Seems like most games that promise decisions and choices still have the ending mostly the same and your decisions not really mattering that much(*Cough* mass effect)

    My favorite gift from Christmas was BW3 sauce. Thai Curry is amazing.
    My worst gift was trips to the dentist.

    Daniel you haven't seen a single episode of Dr Who? WTF? I mean Ive only been watching since they rebooted the series in 2005 but it is for sure worth a watch.

    Another great episode, happy to have the podcast back even if the break wasn't really all that long. Also love the new intro music if nothing else for Portal 'Still Alive' at the start.
