Happy New Year to the End of Time!


As we look back on 2015 and forward to the new year, what better way to celebrate than by playing a game with a character named Janus?

After Thanksgiving and Christmas, I wanted to marathon a game that would really challenge my endurance for New Year's and my birthday. Chrono Trigger is one of my very favorites, and while I know it well—even going so far as to record every ending to VHS when I was a kid—I've never attempted to beat it in a single sitting, or even come close accidentally.

So, New Year's Eve at 4pm ET, I will sit down and attempt to do just that. Straight through, no stopping, from start to finish. I'll even try to stick through all the endgame sidequests.

There'll be some friends dropping by over the course of the stream, and I hope to see y'all join us in the chat!

Final Fantasy II - Imperial Foray

Last time, I wound up spending the whole show grinding in preparation for the next part of the game...whoops. However, after the show ended, I continued until I was ready to proceed! So this time, we shall proceed to...the Empire's Coliseum, I think? I'm flying without Daniel to guide me tonight, so my sense of direction may prove faulty.

Tune in tonight at 9pm ET as I continue Final Fantasy II!

A New Holiday Tradition?


Like last year, more holidays than Thanksgiving are landing on a Thursday! And since last year's Thanksgiving stream of Secret of Evermore developed into something more across Christmas and New Year's Day (eventually becoming Thursday Throne), I think I'd like to do something similar this year.

This Thanksgiving, I marathoned a game: Illusion of Gaia. One that I knew would take me a while, but I was confident I could clear in a single sitting. For Christmas Eve, I'm upping the ante by bringing you two games (albeit shorter ones), back-to-back! From start-to-finish and start-to-finish, I'll be playing Sam & Max Hit the Road, followed by Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle!

Then next week...I'm really going to challenge myself.

Tune in today at 4pm ET, and don't miss a moment of these brilliant comedy adventures!

Happy Thanksgiving!

So, I just had an insane idea.


I'm going to marathon Illusion of Gaia for Thanksgiving. I'm even going to try to 100% it without a guide. I know it's a little late in the day for this, but I don't have anywhere to be until Monday, so screw it. :P

I'll be starting as soon as I get everything set up, so tune in and get ready!

Stone of Graves - The Crooked Man - Session 2


On Halloween, since we finished Yume Nikki with plenty of time to spare, we moved on to The Crooked Man — a game which, while less eerie and unsettling, is more tense and scary. So far, our protagonist has moved into a new apartment, where strange things began happening, leading him to try and track down its previous tenant. His search brought him to an old, abandoned hotel, where he met a girl who seemed much like himself, and a monstrous man with a stretched, broken neck. After several encounters, he stopped running, and with some effort, dispatched the threat. He and the girl went their separate ways, and he continued following the trail to an abandoned...school, I think? Maybe college? That's where we'll proceed from tonight, and hopefully finish.

That's right — we're going to be wrapping up Stone of Graves before Thanksgiving. I don't think we've ever managed to do that.

Join us for the spookytimes tonight at 9pm ET!

It's been a long time since I played a game this soon after it came out. But since it was made by friend and former Radio PSI DJ Radiation, I had to squeeze this in sooner.

Stone of Graves - Ib - Session 1.5


Previously on Stone of Graves, it only took us ⅔ of the show to complete Schuld, so we continued with Ib. We, of course, didn't finish the game in that time, so tonight we will be continuing.

Thursday Throne - Shovel Knight - Session ???

I don't know how to number this post. We've spent two half-weeks on this game due to technical difficulties with Assassin's Creed. Maybe a little time will be enough to allow those driver issues to get smoothed over....


But until then, Shovel Knight gets the spotlight! This retro-styled platformer plays like DuckTales with a dash of Mega Man, and Super Mario Bros. 3's overworld thrown in for good measure. In the past couple weeks, we've managed to play as far as the Lost City, and tonight, we'll proceed from there.

Thursday Throne - Assassin's Creed - Session 4 (for real this time)

Well, last week was completely ruined by video driver crashing. So instead of Assassin's Creed, we played Shovel Knight, gifted to me by Nightshade. Thanks again! It's a fun game, and I'll definitely return to it on here.

However, I seem to have gotten the driver issues ironed out, so tonight, we'll be continuing our stabby adventures in the Holy Land!

Final Fantasy XI - You Are a (Ghost) Pirate

Last time, we started trying to catch Swavely up to Daniel and I in Treasures of Aht'Urghan...which mostly involved him running around for cutscenes while I tried to replay them at the NPC.

I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing after wind. For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow. ~Ecclesiastes 1:17-18

Desmond Miles has been kidnapped by Abstergo Industries, who want him to use a device called the Animus to live through the memories of his ancestor, assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. What they hope to discover is a mystery, but they leave Desmond little choice. What is it they seek, and what else might be learned on the way?
