101 - Wonderful 101
Well, we definitely need to talk about Fallout 4, so take a break from playing to find out what the crew of Random Encounter thinks of Bethesda's latest. After that, Rob chats about his time with Danganronpa (and Derek yells at him for not trying it sooner), Caitlin talks about the latest changes to Final Fantasy XIV, and Stephen debates some Apollo Justice.

100 - 100!
Well, we finally made it to 100 episodes. Take a second to breathe that in, folks. What better way to celebrate than to keep doing the same damn thing we've always done! Rob tries his best to keep calm while playing Wasteland 2 and Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition, Derek talks about his Tales of Zestiria experience and teenage angst in Life is Strange, Stephen gushes over the Ace Attorney trilogy, and Peter describes his thirst for (slime) blood in Dragon Quest Heroes.

99.8 - Tokyo Greatness
Kept you waiting, huh? We certainly have a lot to talk about this week, starting with catching up on the games everyone's been playing. Rob got a chance to beat Witcher 3, Caitlin gushes over Until Dawn, Mike plugs another podcast with The Last Story, and Derek enjoyed some Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. After all that, we dig into the Tokyo Game Show and try to contain our excitement. Featuring: Robert Steinman, Derek Heemsbergen, Caitlin Argyros and Mike Sollosi Questions? Comments? Spare Potions?

99 - Anticipation Quest
Well, this might be one of the craziest episodes we've ever had. Not only is it a massive crew of podcasters this week, but we've also got an insane number of topics. Of course we have to talk about the latest Dragon Quest news and then we've also got updates on Divinity II, the latest Kickstarter controversies, the legalities of a Final Fantasy beat 'em up, and Stephen gets to gush about King's Quest so you'll all buy it!

98 - The Patch Episode
The summer calm gives our crew a chance to catch their breath and look at their backlog. Rob talks about the latest updates to The Witcher 3 and Diablo 3, Caitlin nearly persuades everyone to replay Final Fantasy Tactics, and Derek talks about betrayal and death in Lost Dimension. There's also a bit of Dragon Quest speculation during our news roundup, but that was before all of today's insanity. You better believe we will cover all of that on the next show!

97 - Oh Hai Lisa
E3 is firmly in the rearview mirror, so now we can finally get back to business. Derek and Stephen gush about Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, Rob tries to convey the utter weirdness of Lisa: The Painful RPG, and then everyone loses their minds over the news we're getting another Zero Escape game (while Jesse makes the mistake of asking if he should give it a try).

Sorry to keep you waiting! E3 is behind us, and now the crew gets together to talk about all of the craziness of this year's show. From the Final Fantasy VII remake to Fallout 4, we give you our thoughts on all of the RPGs at the show and what to expect in the years to come.

95 - The Witchering
Geralt rides into the podcast, and everyone has a ton to say about The Witcher 3. Following that, the gang engages in some discussion about sexuality, gender, race and whole bunch of hot button issues in gaming. There's a bit of Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker talk before we give some E3 predictions and desires (hint, Stephen wants Kingdom Hearts 3 info before he explodes).
