Ever since this series first debuted i wanted to see @vinny play the last level of Kotor. Maybe now that @austin_walker(resident Kotor expert) that will actually happen.

Music doesn't have to be defended, Alex. That's what makes art, art.

Also, didn't a Puddle of Mudd guy go crazy about six months ago?

Great start. This is so good. Loading your last save is such a fun idea. Been sometime since the last save was loaded. You guys should load up a save for a huge rpg like oblivion just to see what it looks like and what stuff you have on you. It's amazing how overwhelming it is to go back to a game even after a few months not to mention years.

Y'all talked about Izuna Drop, but you picked a save where is literally impossible to do one w/o backtracking. I know you guys were not looking for another load our last souls length feature, but I wish you had picked an earlier save to show off one of my favorite games ever. I still enjoyed the fuck out of this though. Keep up the good work!

So strange hearing them talk about EB as if it doesn't exist. Here in Canada EB is basically the only place to get video games that you can't find at a Walmart/Best Buy. Mind you, we have very few GameStops (which I'm pretty sure owns EB). There are 4 EB's within a 10 minute drive from my house, one of which is across the street from the mall that has another.

It's pretty much the same over here in Australia. I've never seen a GameStop in my life, but we've had EB games for as long as I can remember, except it used to be called Electronics Boutique before GameStop bought them out. I always assumed that our EB's are exactly the same as American GameStops and it's just a regional branding deal.

As an aside, back in the early 2000's when it was still called Electronics Boutique they used to get a lot of grumpy old men coming in looking for diodes and resistors, etc., so I always figured that was why they changed the name.

To add to this, Austin's experience with the multiple EB locations mirrors mine here in Ontario. Our mall had an EB Games on one floor originally and then opened a Gamestop on the other shortly after the buyout. Both of them had the exact same layout except the Gamestop was bigger.

Interestingly enough, the Gamestop closed shop after three months or so (probably sometime in 2012?), but the EB Games is still going strong.

Having a hard time guessing what triggered you so badly. Going to guess the great hits of the Xbox era like Puddle of Muuuuuudd.

Still one of the best action games ever. Sigma is the one to play, since it added more save points.
