A very silly self-guided tour through the history of videogames, from Advance Wars to Zork. Except chronologically. So it would be the other way around.

Nate, Sebastian, Jordan, and Ryan all gather to discuss DEVIL MAY CRY, Capcom's 2001 action game about slayin' demons and slingin' one-liners. Join us as we discuss a combat system that encourages finesse and expressive play, cutscenes with truly execrable dialogue, and trench coats. Ryan wonders whether the game has more in common with the Divine Comedy or Oedipus, Jordan relishes firing two guns whilst jumping through the air, and Sebastian refers to a boss as "The Big Gooey." All four hosts get "woke to justice."

Nate, Sebastian, Jordan, and Kari gather to discuss FINAL FANTASY X, the seminal RPG series' first entry on the PlayStation 2. We discuss early motion capture, awkward English dubs, and high melodrama. Sebastian laments that such good pathos is wrapped in a shell of anime nonsense, and Nate exults over his anime nonsense having a solid core of pathos. Kari loves an ending that sticks to its guns, Nate makes his "best Ryan Lucas joke," and Sebastian makes a surprisingly cogent criticism involving John Elway. Jordan references Michael Crichton's TIMELINE.
