Fighting is the only way out. Listening to this episode is the only way we can start listing Chris’ top three tactics, aligning with Dycedarg, swallowing Dycedarg’s shit, realizing the rich won’t save the poor, criticizing common blood, speculating Argath is a radicalization agent, understanding a meager fate, realizing Milleuda is willing to die for this, watching Milleuda inflict psychic damage on Delita, deploying tricky smooth talk, kidnapping the wrong lady, thinking of the children, sending improper knights to kill someone, refusing to treat, defending bastard brothers, and wondering why ..read more

Welcome to the rat cellar. A beating has loosened our tongues, allowing us the chance of identifying the wrong song, speaking false to a knight, getting a guy muddy, discovering an actual Dune reference, endlessly reviving Ramza, employing an ineffective mage, configuring the proper Post Up, beating up prisoners, bearing a ribald tongue, filling different radicalization meters, wishing to end the aristocracy, pulling off one last job, arguing over the necessities of a rebel army, speaking our fill, and trading one life for another. You may yet keep your bacon. 00:00 Open World Paralysis | 02:4 ..read more

Mayhap your ears not fail you. For, if they do, you wouldn’t hear us telling the same stories, loving our brave lads, creating a time paradox, seeking justice for a waylaid marquis, hunting down a whoreson, shitting into Argath’s mouth, being assigned to guard the base, chatting on a thinking bridge, throwing a rock into a pond, bursting a sister’s seam, putting a spy with the enemy, honeying some words, blowing an ominous wind, and chancing upon Final Fantasy monsters in the wood. Mind your own limits, you can’t be responsible for everything. 00:00 Intro | 03:10 God Smack 2 | 08:18 Eagrose Ca ..read more

Honest work would see us die old in bed. Instead of that, we’re flashing to a different back, hearing of the Corpse Brigade Death Corps, teaming up with the cops to murder homeless veterans, randomly generating soldiers, getting on the roof, name-dropping our nobility, learning from the computer, droppin’ crystal, crafting a homely bar scene, reading lore, wondering who is writing history, dying in the middle of the room, treating the bastard like family, and witnessing Argath’s frisky animations. We’re definitely the bad guys. 00:00 Intro | 02:35 Gariland Military Academy | 11:20 Gariland Bat ..read more

Join me in my search to uncover the answer. This quest for truth includes actions like turning our consoles on, engraving vanishing memories, attracting mode, skipping a tutorial, defeating the war, yearning to be known as a blaspheming anarchist, aspiring to just be a guy, riding birds through war torn country, nailing Jesus to something else, pressuring Ovelia to leave church, being rude to nobles, ridding oneself of vulgar knaves, slaughtering our enemies, slugging a lady in the stomach, and wondering if this Delita guy is an a-hole. Blame yourself, or god. 00:00 Intro | 03:33 Power On | 14 ..read more

Hello! And welcome to the sixth season of Retrograde Amnesia, where we’re covering the original release of Final Fantasy Tactics and The War of the Lions. In the opening, information-loaded episode, we’re determining who is playing which version, ignoring Tactics Advance, pronouncing “Ivalice,” buying the mobile version, leaving Quest en masse, framing Tactics as another attempt at an Ogre, adding a sense of swashbuckling heroism, valuing 60fps, calling Matsuno for help, canceling a sequel, listening to commercials, reading old game magazines, applying elite hacks, hot-seating a past playthrou ..read more

Kindness is something I don’t want or need. In the final episode for season five, we’re doing all this for Rubedo’s sake, simultaneously blaming Rubedo for everyone's sake, installing Sonic Adventure’s Chaos as the final boss, tormenting for fun, consulting Brady, detaching subcompartments in one whole minute, worrying Chaos, denying Ziggy his need to kill himself, justifying an incomplete arc, setting a Christ Denial Record, deploying Joanne twice, seeing with our heart, gender bending The Creation of Adam, finding chaos alone, relinquishing pain unto robot, performing a silent shout, playing ..read more

I’d accompany you to the very depths of hell. That task includes making sure we have company approval, wondering if Junior or KOSMOS is a bigger liability, god blessing the dungeon music, shifting bridges to solve a puzzle, celebrating the voiceless cut-scene, observing a hologram, locating satan, prototyping Dora, relieving goods, blacking out Lost Jerusalem, growing arms out of a head, refusing parent-child abomination transfers, engaging in a classic elevator battle, and revealing the power of will (purple shit with a face on it). Ziggy is a computer, but he can’t use one. 00:00 Intro | 03 ..read more

You know what awaits you if you are defeated in a gunfight, boy? Consequences include detailing the Dumb Virtual On, coming to terms with CCG’s, checking in with some folks one last time, nabbing the final robot part, drinking to cope, realizing friendship is the key to building the Erde Kaiser, maturing into a man, knocking all the boxes off the truck, building back the community, saluting child labor, concluding the saga of Johnny and Mina, no-selling an exploding car, battling a goth gnosis princess, speculating over character-specific bosses, and battling the greatest Joe of them all.

We were made to discover the true form of the universe. You were made to discover us asking masked men relevant questions, amnesia’ing away Virgil, realizing Junior has failed, summoning even more fucked up shit out of space, going way off villain plan script, hallucinating heroines, ejecting a science lab into space to rebuild a knowledge daughter, throwing dangerous items into the abyss, losing it over the idea of a double black hole, rebuilding the Death Star, forcing a time-based ultimatum, favoring a goop scenario, and finally finding the boss (of us). The laws by which we are governed ar ..read more
