It's all fun and games until the Shure SM7b whispers its sweet, dulcet tones in your ear.

CAUTION: Thoughts like these lead to starting a podcast. If you are experiencing these thoughts or catch yourself saying transitional phrases such as "*chuckle* yeah, we'll get there, we'll talk about it," consult your doctor.

Playing video games is almost as fun as talking about and planning which video games you will play next

Hell yeah to your hell yeah. And judging by your bio you might also like to know that the Xenosaga trilogy is in my top 3 JRPGs, too. (How do you break that down into one game, but I have the most fondness for episode 1)

8 is so over-hated. Both it and 13 are high on my replay list.

Absolutely. It's so much fun when all the pieces are put together—and it's a fantastic sequel, narratively. Makes total sense that that culture, finally free from sin/Sin, would err toward opulence and Having A Good Time.

(also Magical Girl is a fun genre, OK? Sue me!)

And finally, 2 episodes I wish were higher in downloads: 1000xRESIST. This game blew me away! The devs' backgrounds in theater and art complement the narrative so deftly, in a way I almost never see in video games. It's brilliant, absolutely rife with the ingredients for interpretive discussion.

Of course, the newest series at the time of writing is Clair Obscur and I would be remiss not to recommend it. Across 4 episodes we break the game down meticulously, discussing how the game details grief, the unlikely origins of the studio, and much more. I'm so proud of this series.

One of the somewhat older ones (when I couldn't create thumbnails) on the music of Nobuo Uematsu was simply a delight to make. Uematsu is a titan of the video game music industry, and this episode explores why. He is SO much more than just Final Fantasy.

Outer Wilds, done across 3 episodes, quickly became one of my all-time favorite games. The discussions in the episode centering on existentialism, worship, ancestry, and more were so stimulating and left me with lots to think about after the fact.

Oh wow, congrats. For many years I went there each January to take part in the Navy Band Saxophone Symposium. I've always liked that campus.
