Disappointment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Caitlin and Alan aren’t angry they are just disappointed. Some games not only fail to live up to expectations but they throw us completely out of the experience. Sometimes that is because they are a lazy cash grab but more often the gameplay is beyond us!
Vehicles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Caitlin and Alan ride around in our favorite video game vehicles. Fast travel is out and vehicles are in. Especially airships in the Final Fantasy series. But horses, chocobos, and tanks have a place in our hearts too!
Main Characters! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Caitlin and Alan get into what it means for a character to be a video game protagonist. Does a Silent Protagonist just lift up the villain as cool? A main character who is relatable can have a stale personality, but anything else might turn people off. Is there a balance?
Kingdom Hearts 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Caitlin and Alan discuss Kingdom Hearts 1. We both bought this game when it launched on PS2 in 2002. The magic of the game seems too big to fit into an elevator pitch, but the lore claims that is where it all started. Pretend and play are central to what makes the universe of Kingdom Hearts work, but so is design. This is the masterpiece that launched the franchise that continues to keep pulling in fans.
PlayStation Discs are Done! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Caitlin and Alan talk about the end of the PlayStation physical discs for games. Things have been leading to this point for a while- however… that doesn’t mean that we are happy about it. And that things might be more unsafe for consumers and preservation of the Art. No to mention the AI of it all.
