The Final Fantasy MULTIVERSE: A Breakdown I break down the 6 levels, tiers, or spheres of the #FinalFantasy multiverse. How do things like Kingdom Hearts and Chrono Trigger fit? What about Mario and Disney? Is EVERYTHING truly Final Fantasy?

My son is secretly a 70 year old man

So I accidentally posted the 11th episode of our #FFVIII series before our 10th. OOOOOOPSSS!! Both are posted now but in a weird order on YT so here's 10 and THEN 11... y'know... how numbers go Ep. 10: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MtM... Ep. 11: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kddf...

The people who voted for Donald Trump because of the “economy” or because he “won’t do wars” have proven themselves to be the most gullible people on the face of the planet. Or they were always lying and it was about bigotry and hatred all along.

I truly wish there was another way to distribute our podcast. We quit Twitter on principle and that honestly cost us a lot. YouTube won’t pay out. So if we took our podcast off of Spotify, our show would just kinda disappear. If anyone has any ideas on podcasts distribution without Spotify, lmk.

Final Fantasy 8: Fisherman's Horizon What happens when pacifism is faced with encroaching fascism? Squall, our child-soldier hero, wrestles with the nature of violence and his own insistence on not relying on anyone else: #FFVIII #FinalFantasy

We begin #FFIX with a conversation about its legacy & reception, how/why it feels like such a throwback, the importance of the animal characters, & an examination of the main themes through each main character. That gives us just enough time to break down the iconic intro: #FinalFantasy

“I don’t like video games but…” “I don’t like comic books but…” “I don’t like Star Wars but…” “I don’t like RPGs but…” In 2026, stop doing reviews this way. Please and thanks.

My gaming New Years Resolution is to finally tackle some of the big JRPGs I’ve never gotten into. Just started Granblue Fantasy but after that I’m doing either Nier or Dragon Quest remakes. Then maybe Romancing Saga.

2026 is gonna be different. I can feel it. We are going to make a positive change this year. Now is the time to fight back. And to actually start winning.

All we want is a modern, turn based RPG with a strong character driven story, AAA visuals, a twist on the classic formula, and a world we can get lost in…

Superman & Fantastic 4: Hope & Modern Superhero Movies My brother and I discuss the two biggest superhero movies of 2025: #Superman and #FantasticFour We get into why we love them, a few minor quibbles, & the ongoing/ever-strange DISCOURSE surrounding comic book filmmaking:

🐢TMNT 1990: A Legitimate Classic 🎤We conclude the story of the 1990 live action TMNT movie and give final thoughts on why it is so much better than it ever seemingly got credit for in its time. Why its legend grows to this day. 🎶Please follow us on Spotify! open.spotify.com/episode/6po5...

Seriously think about your FIFTH favorite person. Unless you have 5 kids that person is like… fine. Final Fantasy is so much better.

Final Fantasy is better than the 5th best person you know

Might have to give up on #YouTube I can't get ahold of anyone for help and our account appears to just be stuck. Still getting views and running ads but can't get paid. Something is wrong with the account and there's no help at all. Super disappointing. Follow us on Spotify or Patreon.

We are in an absolute GOLDEN AGE for JRPGs! Awesome to see this oft-maligned genre soar to new heights! Dragon Quest & Suikoden live new again! Octopath/Tales/Trails do their thing SaGa/Mana return with triumph! FFT Remaster! Metaphor was WILD LAD & Granblue & Unicorn Overlord and so many more!

The lady who actively harassed children who were the victims of school shootings… …is not a hero now because she is against pedophilia. Please have higher standards. Thank you.

People who want everything to be non political had that idea handed down by think tanks with political agendas.

MTG will always and ONLY ever stand for Magic: The Gathering in THIS house

Late takeover of my 5th spot Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO!!!

On this episode of Dad Pod, Ira asks me about work/life balance with baby Lochlann and also the process of taking him to Coors Field for Rockies games. Plus, some thoughts on mental health in the first year of dadhood.

⚔️I've never loved the "Roguelite" genre and I'm not even entirely sure what that word means. 🐢But on this episode I explain to my brother why #TMNT Splintered Fate got me to buy in 🔥...and why I might try Hades now lol.

I almost never directly deal with MAGA anymore But spending a day watching a bunch of randos make the most 3rd grade level arguments of all time while hurling insults to declare GENAI good and holy and “the future” It’s a reminder that not everyone grows past their middle school bully phase.

Whatever happened to the Big Bad Beetleborgs?

PEOPLE WANT THE SLOP

Imagine spending a year hearing that every game you love sucks compared this one. It puts everything else to SHAME Being told the entire industry should be embarrassed they aren’t doing it like this… Only to find out the devs used GenAI, were dishonest about it, and had an award stripped. Damn.
