Megan and I continue our coverage of PAX East (even though you wouldn’t know it by the immediate tangent we take), talking about:

  • Marooners, an awesome local co-op game inheriting the best of Mario Party’s frantic minigames
  • Nuclear Throne‘s clever spectator giveaway
  • Steven’s addiction to (and subsequent abandonment of) Shop Heroes
  • how Megan becomes unhappy when children become happy
  • Puzzle and Dragons‘ booth

We cover tons of ground in this ep, but it can be boiled down to:

  • Megan’s TPA Orianna story, and the Gchat fistpump of celebration
  • The pro gaming apparatus that Steven handmade for Megan
  • Psychoanalyzing what types of stories Steven and Megan like, and how they’re the opposites of their own lives
  • Everyone’s thoughts on Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
  • The Final Fantasy XV:
    • Ultimate collector’s edition ($270)
    • Trailer with Florence + the Machine
      • Steven: “Is this the trailer where Florence + the Machine sings in the second half?
      • Megan: “I don’t even…is that…a person?”
    • Being completely the opposite of what Megan is interested in
      • Steven: “There’s nothing interesting for you – it’s four bros in a car!”
      • Megan: “And I don’t give a sh*t about cars!”
      • Steven: “Well, that was clear in the last episode.”

In this episode, we can’t seem to stop talking about handheld games!  We open with a tribute to the late Akira Tago, the Puzzle Master of the Professor Layton games, discuss some of our most memorable moments involving handheld systems, and we finish strong with how an ongoing obsession with fanfiction has shaped Megan into the bo-*ahem* girl she is today.

Topics in between include:

  • How New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the perfect game for anyone with an affinity for in-game collectibles
  • Why Bravely Default is no longer on Megan’s list of tentative games to buy/play
  • A throwback to Dogz and Catz, old PC games that taught Steven valuable life lessons about pet ownership
  • Frizbee’s personal YouTube channel
  • Megan’s coming out story, which were the first steps to her current dream of becoming a world-renowned author of Mamamoo fanfiction

Also, it’s still an open question whether you can make a poop level in Super Mario Maker for the Wii U.
