Sekiro: Love and Daunt

The moonlight casts vines of a pale white downwards through low hanging clouds of the night sky. Reeds sway eastward with the wind. In a nearby structure, bystanders peer through gaps in shutters at the two figures standing on opposite ends of the plateau. All is silent, save for a slight babbling stream nearby. The two figures used to play there, together, as children. Back then, war was just a story told by grandfathers, a warning to future generations to avoid passing to the realm of their ancestors carrying with them the weight of the same regrets. The two figures are cold and tempered. They wait for one slight twitch before springing into action, eyeing one another in anticipation for their inevitable clash. Only one will survive, and the winner is obvious to all who stand idly by: The one-armed wolf is here, and he's slathered in barbecue sauce.  --- Games Discussed: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/intothecast Watch us on Twitch: https://twitch.tv/intothecast --- Produced by AJ Fillari ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

It's Warmer Today, Alright

Ganon's done a lot of harm in this world. He's ripped families apart, decimated the homes of the Hylian people, eradicated those who stood for peace and hope and prosperity. Zelda has been in a calamitous and ongoing battle against him for a century, and I mean that quite literally. I'm doing everything I can on my own to build up the strength to help, but first I need to go out in the desert and flex a bit in my boxers. It's warmer today, alright?

Third Grade PikaBlues

I arrive on the playground every day carrying my tomes of Prima Strategy Guides and printouts from GameFaqs. I sit atop the slide like a mad king as peasants bring their GameBoy Colors and crowd around the rungs, eager to climb up and allow me to bless them with my wisdom. I tell them "Nay, you must climb the slide to speak to me. The ladder's rungs are for I alone to climb." They only make it halfway up before the slide takes hold of them; and like a bowling ball they careen down into the masses of other third graders hoping to glimpse into my stack of parchment. I often whisper rumors, like deleting your save file will allow you to capture Mew, like speaking to the phone one million times will bring Ness' father back. They listen to me, because I am the keeper of knowledge, and nobody else has enough room in their backpack to challenge me. --- Games Discussed: Apex Legends, Pokemon Sword & Shield, Final Fantasy IX --- Things Discussed: Stephen thought Crash Bandicoot was real, Third Grade, possible Apex Legends characters, every Pokemon starter, what Pokemon could we feel okay about eating, Pokemon Sword & Shield, Gex, Crash Bandicoot Returns), Fangamer dot com is not a pyramid scheme, Final Fantasy IX, cheat codes are okay, card games ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

80s Synth Hell

It is 198X and Mountain Dew drips from every surface, clinging like a parasite to its host. It is a green haze that looms wide over this city, and citizens cover their mouths with masks to filter the Dew from the clean air trapped underneath its disgusting weight. This is the future Caustic always dreamed of, growing up. It is what he has been working towards. This is his twisted utopia, his 80s Synth Hell.

I am the Jumpmaster, I am 300 Crabs

Have you ever felt like you weren't yourself? You look in the mirror and the passage of time has presented you with a face that feels like an Other? Maybe it's what's inside that's different. Maybe the things you've experienced have changed you. Maybe you've become 300 crabs inhabiting the corporeal form of Captain Jack Sparrow. It happens to everyone, eventually.
