8-4 Play: 8-4 Play 7/22/2022: THE CAT’S AWAY

When the host is away, the rest of the cast will…explore the pain threshold of chocobo racing in Final Fantasy X, examine the extras in the Elden Ring collector’s edition, express some spoiler-free thoughts on Stray, and exhibit a variety of hot takes on all the news that’s fit to hastily throw in a google doc five mins before the show. Excelsior!

Every other week, tune into 8-4 Play for talk about video games, Japan, and Japanese video games, straight from the 8-4 offices in beautiful downtown Tokyo. Hosted by 1UP Japan's own Mark MacDonald, John Ricciardi, and Hiroko Minamoto.
