Oh, hey, I’m making my @giantbomb.bsky.social debut with my Top 10 games of the year! From Blue Prince to Clair Obscur, Cast n Chill, Consume Me, and Lost Records: Bloom and Rage, I cover a LOT of ground. (But, of course, you already know my top pick for Game of the Year.)

'Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium' was released on the SEGA Mega Drive 32 years ago today in Japan.

The video version is now live on the @funfactorpod.com YouTube page! We took a bunch of feedback from the last episode's video version, which was the first of the new format, and I'm pretty proud of the improvements here. Still a lot of work to go, but please let us know what you think!

In 1993, Rieko Kodama co-directed the final instalment of the original Phantasy Star series and was credited under her real name for the first time. Here is the story of the game's development: vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama12 Dispo en VF vgdensetsu.net/riekokodamav...

The existence of Werner Herzog implies the existence of Werner Panzer Dragoon 2.

no one else doing their Saturn wrapped??

The analysis of NIER AUTOMATA begins! A marriage of the sleek fluidity of Platinum Games and the philosophically-tinged narratives of Yoko Taro, NieR Automata highlights two human ideas: that of existence preceding essence; and that of dogmatic "othering." Hope you love the show today. Links below!⬇️

For a little show that was born out of a joke six years ago, it's still kinda wild that people listen to us talk about a single video game for 25-60 weeks.

Top shows for our listeners. Good taste overall but I question some of you a little. Just a little. You know who you are.

Top audiobooks for our listeners. Also checks out.

Top artists for our listeners. Checks out.

I would love to know how this localization choice got into Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium

I feel bad for Ty, but this is tremendous content.

episode 2 of our Phantasy Star IV series is now available, and there's like a secret 40 minute episode of @funfactorpod.com in the middle of it. @aidanmoher.com and @tyschalter.com join us for the segment where we review old magazine reviews of Phantasy Star IV! retroam.libsyn.com/phantasy-sta...

Happy to speak with @adashtra.bsky.social about Magic and UB (alongside the brilliant @shivambhatt.bsky.social & @emmapartlow.com). I actually like UB more than many people I know, because I view MTG as a game system, but it’s undeniably and forcibly encroaching on the game’s longstanding flavour.

hi, after 53 straight weeks of Lunar, we've moved on to Season 8, which is featuring Phantasy Star IV for the Sega Genesis. search for "Retrograde Amnesia" in your favorite telephone podcast application or internet-connected computer. here's a screenshot for which I couldn't imagine a good shitpost

Available wherever you listen. Host: www.spreaker.com/episode/cons... Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

The critical analysis of THE LAST OF US PART 2 begins! Revenge is a corrosive poison. This episode covers mechanics, visuals, game philosophy, controversy, and more before our narrative breakdown. We cover up to and through That Scene. You know the one. Hope you love the show today. Links below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
