Shin Megamei Tensei V Vengeance A shout out to Arranger: A Role Playing Adventure, (Robert talks about this game in the pod, but cannot remember it's name).

How will we obfuscate the term 'indie game' for our own gain? What choices will Robert make that are categorically wrong? How much will we dunk on Atlus (there's always a little dunking)? Join Robert and Producer Miss...2023-12-1124 minZeboydZeboydCaptain N ep 11 - In Search of the Father (or ’objects in mirror are closer than they appear’)Welcome to our Captain N episode 11 unpacking.

This is one you need to skip if you have delicate sensibilities. Episode 10 is not for the faint of heart. Simon gets amnesia (so, quality plot device there) and upsetting hijinks ensue. He pretends to be a dog while the N team laughs. The princess dresses him in a tutu solely to humiliate him (not that he doesn't deserve it). And he enters into a disturbing relationship with Donkey Kong and sleeps in his mouth! THIS ALL HAPPENS!!!!

Come listen with us! 2023-10-2726 minZeboydZeboydCaptain N ep 8: Mr. & Mrs. Mother Brain (or They both could do better)Episode 8 did not disappoint in the unhinged department!
