Awaken! It's finally time to talk about acclaimed fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio and how good it REALLY is. Winner of Best RPG, Best Art Direction, and Best Narrative at The Game Awards 2024, is this the best RPG that Atlus has ever created? Joining KC to discuss the game are Persona super fan, Lewis Cox, of The Dreamcast Junkyard, and Persona/Megaten expert Peky, of Persona Spain. This is a spoiler-free conversation that both veteran Atlus fans, and newcomers to the genre will enjoy.

242 - 30 Years of the SEGA Saturn with Ravsieg and The SEGAGuys
30 years ago, SEGA's 32-bit machine, the Saturn, launched in Japan. Three decades later, Ravsieg and The SEGAGuys - Dan 'The Mega' Driver, and James 'The SEGAHolic' - try to educate KC on the importance of the console back then and its relevancy today, all the while pitching a new Fighters Megamix game and deciding on a 5-game starter pack for new fans of the system.
