Zeboyd This episode is epic! Or maybe it's epoch?Robert discusses what he thinks are the most important parts of game announcements this week. He gives us his head cannon about what the World of Goo balls are made up of, do you agree? Aren't South Korean ratings board leaks fun?! 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). Ok, so, if a game is already a million hours long, does it actually NEED DLC? And then after you...

Zeboyd He's not angry, he's just disappointed in Persona 3What's on the docket for today? Robert talks Persona 3 Reload and he seems a little surprised that it is very similar to the Persona 3.

Zeboyd But she's got a new hat!We discuss lots of reboots, releases, and remakes, you have to buy them because they've got a new hat! This means: Persona 3 Prince of Persia of course more about the impending FFVII remake release (oh, broody Cloud, we hope you find happiness).

Zeboyd Starcade! Star Wars editionSo this exists and is much funner than Captain N! We continue our exploration of ancient videogame media with the game show Starcade and we need you to know about it! We give Robert the opportunity to answer some of the questions, it goes as well as you might expect given the media we are dealing with. They probably should have found a host that didn't seem passively antagonistic toward videogames. That hair and clothes though! Wow, that style was definitely a choice I didn't need to be reminded of.

Zeboyd Captain N Episode12: Metroid Sweet MetroidWow, that title sounds like one we made up! But it isn't and it makes absolutely no sense, as usual. The princesses personality changes once again to fit the story, (she doesn't deserve any actual personality)! If Kevin is returning home to play videogames, he definitely won't need his Nintendo controller! Mother Brain comes up with half of a workable plan! (and then she bites it). Join us, and our demographically age-appropriate guest, to talk about all of this and more. Come play with us!

Here is the Zeboyd Game Awards, again, but this time with awards and actual words (we spared no expense on that). It's the 2023 Zeboyd Game Awards! Who will win? Who will lose? 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)?

Zeboyd Captain N: Simon the Ape Man (or you ape baby)This one... 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 commiserate with us!
