No, we are not talking about Final Fantasy X-2. Maybe one day... In the mean time, enjoy this discussion we had. It touches on a variety of topics, ranging from Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov, to the Bible, to politics and modern monetary policy. I hope you enjoy it!

It's an experience that will stick with you for years. The story for Journey is a distillation of the hero's journey, and presents it in a most beautiful and compelling way. Also, I hope you all love Dante's Comedia because we'll be diving into that a fair bit. Enjoy the discussion!

Childhood vs. Adulthood | State of the Arc PodcastResonant Arc2024-03-20 | Do you play games for different reasons today versus when you were a child? Does that reflect any big changes in your life and how you perceive the world? It has for me. While I still enjoy many of the games of my childhood, it is for different reasons now compared to then. Thanks for watching, and of course, enjoy the comments!

But sometimes it's done extremely well and some people just can't see it. It's OK to disagree with the translation choices made by a team of translators, however, if you think the translation for Unicorn Overlord isn't DOPE then you run a high likelihood of being wrong. I think the odds are maybe like 99% that you're wrong. But hey, there's still a chance. Listen to hear opinions that are softer than this description might let on. Enjoy the comments!
Is social media ruining gaming? Or is it making things better? That's possible. Maybe things are actually better and you just didn't realize it yet? Or maybe things are just worse. But even if they're worse and bad, does that mean that gaming is ruined? Can it be salvaged? How? HOW!?!?

Is he just dreaming? We are about to take a (quite) critical look at the Squall is dead theory. Why? Why does Squall have to be dead? Is Mario dead? All those mushrooms and turtles sure seem to indicate so. Is Final Fantasy VIII too Fantasy and not based enough in reality for you? Do we feel the need to bring fantasy down to the materialist, hyper-rational world in order to enjoy it, or can it just stand on its own two feet? Or, maybe to hit a little closer to home... are YOU dead?

Mike and Casen have taken it upon themselves to analyze this most interesting piece of history. We talk about the Gaia Hypothesis by James Lovelock, and how it fits into the story of this film. The movie is deeply misunderstood, but that is of course its own fault. Enjoy this analysis of a pretty average movie, with an extremely thought provoking spirit hiding deep within.

It's mind blowing to see just how thematically consistent this movie is. Every scene adds to it yet detracts nothing whatsoever to the general plot or development of the characters. It is a masterpiece in so many ways. Come, watch our 4 hour celebration of this amazing film on its 30th anniversary. Leave a comment if you feel so inclined! Thanks for watching!
