Glad to hear it, and that your mother's surgery turned out OK.
Because there's so many different areas and regions within the game, each one has been given a very strong regional feel to it. Specifically, in the case of Camus to Erik, it's because we wanted him to seem Scandinavian. To Japanese people, the name Camus comes across as Scandinavian but that's obviously not going to work for English speakers so we decided on Erik. It wasn't just off the cuff. We wanted it to seem like his name matched the region he was from."
I mean, we pretty much did! Poor '99 gets like... 1/3 of the episode's total running time, if that. And we started in on '89 in the previous Revue episode....89 is a year you could do a whole series on. Very important year for video games.
Ugh. I'm only 44 hours into DQXI so I guess this episode will have to wait. Really enjoying the picks for the modern game episodes. Can't wait to listen!
I see you've listened to the episode!Who could forget the most important day in gaming history, 9/9/99? The landmark day in gaming featuring the release of the hottest new product in gaming history, Final Fantasy VIII.
Oh, sure, it's just that my shameful confession here was that I bought a Dreamcast on launch day and then spent the next two weeks engrossed in FFVIII.I love the year in review episodes, just wanted to remind everyone of the key date in gaming history.
I didn't have money for either at the time so I bummed FFVIII a disc at a time off of my friend. All my friends and myself ended up getting the DC as the price plummeted after the launch of the PS2 and while it was extremely hard to find. A lot of high school tax refunds bought DC bundles instead of impossible to find PS2s that spring.Oh, sure, it's just that my shameful confession here was that I bought a Dreamcast on launch day and then spent the next two weeks engrossed in FFVIII.
Just hearing mention of Chrono Cross had me contemplating a run of it this summer. CC had always invoked thoughts of tropical weather and long days.
I don't think novelty is the appeal of anybody in DQXI besides maybe Sylvando.But he's an old guy that likes porn!! Original character, do not steal
We all know you like your monk battle women, Jeremy, but people like different things, and that's okay.
I'm still heartbroken that for all the special exceptions for modern games, we didn't get an Octopath Traveler episode. :(
Listen, I saw Ranma 1/2 at a very impressionable ageWe all know you like your monk battle women, Jeremy, but people like different things, and that's okay.
You aren't alone, Jeremy-darling.
Over under on Chrono Cross episodes in the next two years is currently at 1.5.
I was gonna say SCUMM emulation on smartphones but think that was episode 29 on horror games which I've listened to way too much.Pop quiz, hotshots:
What nerdy news broke right before the original Retronauts episode of Final Fantasy VII was recorded?
I'll give a hint:I was gonna say SCUMM emulation on smartphones but think that was episode 29 on horror games which I've listened to way too much.
