    Off the Deep End Episode 47: Time and Eternity

    Off the Deep End Episode 47: Time and Eternity

    Braden "ArbitraryWater" [REDACTED], Chris "ZombiePie" [REDACTED], and Adam "Borgmaster" [REDACTED] all put their lives, sanity, and marital status on the line to discuss another high quality JRPG banger, Imageepoch's own Time and Eternity. Along the way they discuss its jarring art style, unsurprisingly great Yuzo Koshiro soundtrack, and long dissertations over the difference between "good" anime and ""goood"" anime. Does it truly live up to being the worst-rated PS3 JRPG? How many games are we going to play that feature blondes and redheads sharing the same body? Where is Valmar.jpg when you need him?

    Episode 218: Hades 2 Is A Work In Progress

    In this episode Gino, Pete, Em, and special guest Billy Rothert discuss Hades 2! We start with a special announcement from Billy and then transition into discussing the early access status of Hades 2. We talk about how tuned the game is, what mechanics we would change, and whether we're bothered by an unfinished game with so much story. We then wrap by discussing the story as it is right now and some of the differences between how Hades and Hades 2 feel to play.

    Off the Deep End 46: Breath of Fire III

    Off the Deep End 46: Breath of Fire III

    After some diversions, Off the Deep End returns to its regularly scheduled fan pick to answer the pressing question of "Can a video game be too good and too normal for this podcast?" Along the way, Braden, Chris, and Gino discuss Breath of Fire III's solid mechanics, beautiful spritework, and shockingly dark story. Anime is threatened. Consider donating to the patreon if you think these doofuses should talk about 90s and 2000s anime into a microphone.
