I have not played any of these games, but they look interesting. I was thinking of trying the series, but at this point I have no idea where to start. There's just so many of them, and I don't know how if at all they are connected. I think the "rebirth" ones are remakes? So I put it to the Hyperdimension Neptunia fans out there: which one do I start with, and where do I go from there?

@riostarwind:Thanks for the suggestions! I was thinking about the Danganronpa games. I remember Patrick really liked the first one a lot.

I don't know much about the Disgaea games. A good strategy game with humor sounds awesome! Should I play Disgaea 3 first, or can I just jump into 4? Are they connected by narrative?

I recently bought a Vita on a whim, because there was a great Ebay deal. I didn't put a lot of thought into it, so I really don't know what games are out there that I should buy. A little info on what I like:

• I enjoy RPGs of both the Western and Japanese persuasion.
• I like a good strategy game, including the FF Tactics/Fire Emblem style and also a more Civ-like experience
• Adventure games are generally right up my alley.
• I'll play action games, but I'd rather play them on a TV or PC monitor

I know I'm going to get Persona 4 Golden, but apart from that I have no ideas. Any recommendations?

Edit: spelling typo

I'd be interested in seeing a poll of this topic.

I think it would be cool if they put up a video alongside the audio upload. I always enjoy the livestreamed podcasts from E3 and such.

Exactly. People just like to be defensive over nothing. OP, you are making a salient observation.

@zombiepie You like Mr. Plinkett and Redlettermedia a whole lot huh? Just giving you a hard time. I am loving this blog series.

I have really fond memories of this game. I absolutely loved it when I first played it as a 12 year old. It is really cool to see the perspectives of an adult playing it for the first time in 2015. It really highlights how seriously flawed the game is and how immature the storytelling really is. The bombcast guys were so spot on in their analysis of a "golden age" of games. I played this when I was 12, so to me it will always be awesome. I love this series, because it's allowing me to see these faults while keeping my own experiences and memories of the game intact. Keep it up!

Well put.

I was listening to some old Bombcasts and I stumbled across the 8-11-2009 Bombcast featuring Jared Rea. I had forgotten how great his appearances were! I know he appears on at least one other Bombcast. Could anyone point me to that/those episode(s)?

That high is pretty short lived. Dan starts to get old pretty quick, and Brad has become pretty annoying. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but Brad has just seemed like a jerk lately...

Edit: I should say though that Drew being a regular is the best thing that's happened to the Bombcast in a long time.
