Let the hate flow through you. Rob's got LOTS to say about Dragon's Dogma, but we accentuate the positive first when John talks about Dead Island Riptide. After Rob's meds kick in, Derek discusses Pandora's Tower and then we finish things off with a bit of news. Featuring: Robert Steinman, John McCarroll, Stephen Meyerink, Derek Heemsbergen Questions?

Spoiler Warning! And now for something completely different. The podcast crew decided it was time to take a long hard look at narrative in RPGs and video games as a whole. We pretty much get lost talking about the importance of player choice, strong character interactions, and the interactive nature of the art form. There are some spoilers here and there, but we do our best to bring up the game beforehand so you can skip ahead as needed. Derek brings it home with news, including some pretty disappointing financials from Square-Enix. Featuring: Robert Steinman, Stephen Meyerink, Derek Heemsbergen, Kyle E.

An amazing episode of Random Encounter has been lost to the ether that is the internet thanks to technical difficulties, solar flares, or perhaps intervention by the Heartless. Rather than attempt to recreate the magic, the crew decides to focus on topics associated with the games they've been playing. John complains that RPGs are too long and Kim talks about the resurrection and continuation of fan-favorite franchises. After arguing Hardball style for a while, John takes the crew for a ride into the news room. Featuring: Robert Steinman, John McCarroll, Stephen Meyerink and Kimberley Wallace

On this episode of Random Encounter, we talk about the news from both Microsoft and Sony, as well as our hype for FFXVI's reveal! Greg chats about his adventures in Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster and if it's worth getting into! Pete made a case to cover Crusader Kings III for the site, and are we glad he did cause the stories are wild! Getting Jono back into The Outer Wilds for Peril on Gorgon was an easy task, and he's glad this new adventure seems to hold up! Finally, Nathan and I are both excited for more farming with Rune Factory 5 getting some more coverage recently and can't wait for it to release! Idle chit-chat is at its minimum, but come listen to us anyway!
