She talks about her massive undertaking as she takes on a Let's Play of all of the Megaten games, and then we veer off into talking about her experience in games writing honestly and unvarnished. Definitely our most hard hitting episode in quite a while, and frankly a ton of fun at that.

Finally, it's the return of the mack as Piss and I are back to talk Mob Psycho 100, in perhaps the most emotionally resonant bit of anime we've seen yet! Not to be missed, though keep in mind we delayed through much of the last few weeks due to it feeling out of place in the midst of direct action, so please forgive any political datedness.Thank u to Julian, the god, for production!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/no-cartridge-audio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Learn more about your ad choices.

No Cartridge 161 - Everything is Political
So this one is a bit old, and doesn't mention the current police brutality because I recorded it a relatively long time ago and didn't have the heart to release anything at all for a while! But it's a very good episode as Bryan Quimby of Street Fight Radio and I talk politics, games, pandemic, and more. A way to get back into content for us both perhaps, listener, and I hope you are doing okay.Production by the Great Julian!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/no-cartridge-audio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Learn more about your ad choices.

Patch Notes: The Slow Burn
Hi all! Jon and I are still at it but you may have noticed that 1) there has been very little video game news and 2) there has been a LOT of real life news. So we've had little and less to record on. That said, this is an episode we recorded a week or two ago, and should still be relevant to today. News and views that aren't exactly relevant to the current situation in America? Well, can't say I'm not consistent.Production by Julian! Production by Julian!
