Zach and Brandon review what we (both?) consider, and many others as well, the best Tales of game that exists so far - Vesperia. We go through a long history of the series, and then what makes this particular installment worth your time!

Zach and Brandon play HOTS and talk at the same time! So yeah, feel free to listen in either format!

Topics include Final Fantasy XV, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, Tales of, The Game Theorist, Christianity in Japan, Dark Souls, Pharisees, Sadducees, praying in public, Christian movies, suspense vs. horror, and Metal Gear Solid.

Is "Christian" a genre? Let Zach, Bryan, and Brandon talk (and ramble) about it!

Let's talk about discernment and discerning content in video games! Simple, but complex...

So...yeah. Zach, Brandon, and Ted go in without a topic, and end up with one of the longest, most rambling podcasts we've ever done. We're entitled to something every once and a while, right?

In the spirit of randomness, the topics are really all over the place, from rock bands to game series to consoles. It was a strange night!

You know...I think we should have a podcast about Dark Souls III as well, right?

Zach and Brandon talk about the game on Monday of its release week, before either of us had played it. Now, you can see whether our predictions came true or not!

Zach, Brandon, and new guest Jon Rendall ask themselves three questions about virtual reality:

1. Can we escape reality through video games?
2. When will it become so real that we can’t tell the difference (Matrix-level spooky)?
3. When will the wow-factor wear off?

Zach, Brandon, Nelson (from Video Games and the Bible) and Eric Anderson (of Nerd Chapel) join us to talk about the grey markets of video games - used games, Steam keys, and the like!
