Now that Bobby's free from the clutches of his thesis, he's finally able to play games again! Bobby talks about Henry Hatsworth, GTA Chinatown Wars, and Chrono Cross, while J explains his XBLA plays and purchases.
There's an insightful two minutes of commentary about the PlayStation 2 price drop, Nintendo's game announcements at GDC, and the new OnLive service.
J poses the question "what do we want to see in an RPG in this modern day?" and we ruminate on what makes our favorite RPGs enjoyable.
It's a "meaty" show that you won't want to miss!

I agree with J's repeated phrase: most J-rpgs and Final Fantasy stories "don't make a lick of sense."
Whoa, you guys like Chrono Cross? Insane.
I enjoyed your Zelda talk! I agree with everything you said about Wind Waker, Bobby, right down to liking the boat but not being able to explain why in any convincing way. I liked Twilight Princess but felt deja vu the whole way through. Majora's Mask, on the other hand, is really unique. I sort of view it as a twisted side story to accompany Ocarina and is definitely one of my favorite Zelda experiences!
Totally with ya on OnLive. I was pumping my fist until I saw they want it out this fall.
Maybe I'll write something about RPGs to yas later...
I'd love to hear your thoughts on RPGs Erik! It's a genre I seem to fall in and out of love with. I'm definitely on a kick right now, firing up Cross again, FFVI, and the surprisingly good Jade Empire.
