@ethanielrain: This is Ep. #181; you've got some catching up to do! This podcast is great if you're into Japan and games and Japanese games! I think the fact that they do an episode every 2 weeks keeps it more fresh than weekly shows. (The waiting is the hardest part)

I really enjoyed Mark's short interview with David OReilly. Makes me nostalgic for his EGM / 1Up days.

Love to hear that fire emblem is going back to it's roots with echos, that dating sim stuff never jived with me.

Also there is a typo in the episode notes, rime digital price drop has "digital" spelled as "digiral".
