[First recorded in November 2017]
After two years away, My Favourite Game is back.
Speaking personally, once the first episode of what was then Season 5 was out, I was just burnt out of the whole podcasting thing. Truth be told, I thought I was ready to come back to it but I didn’t really have any purpose in doing so.
Now with Play Diaries now out in the open and its motif of telling interesting and compelling stories, I’m now more motivated to get back into My Favourite Game again as well as other bits such as Press Play.
And it starts tonight with the second of our Lost Tapes collection of episodes.
Tonight, Mediatonic’s Ed Fear, who was game director on the just-released Murder By Numbers, talks of SquareSoft’s Xenogears as his favourite game. In it, we discuss the way it depicts religion, how it helped him come to terms with his sexuality and how Nier made hard heave cry. Seriously.
You can listen to it below as well as on most of the good podcast providers (links below).
Because of how stretched I am a bit right now, The Lost Tapes won’t be a weekly endeavour like past My Favourite Game runs, but when Season 5 happens (it actually will happen, for real this time!), it will be weekly. Stay tuned. For now, the next episode will drop sometime in early April, so keep an eye out.
