We end with highlighting the final years of Crunk Games, and what it all meant.

It's Spray and May! On a platter for you today: Guess Who's Coming to Nihon; unprepared Drink Food time, and struggling to pronounce "alcohol;" the Komeda Chronicles; Alex assumes the throne of English textbook guy; a long talk on what the deal is with cartoons these days; 3 Body Problem sounds like a You Problem; Alex apologizes to the UK; god forbid you make an Underoos joke; what's up with Dragon Quest? And smashing prices on mashed gadgets! This podcast has a duty to protect the mountain on which its shrine rests.

Clawing our way out of the ice! This April, we share notes; what do Patreon and Uniqlo have in common?; platforms and piracy in the realms of games, movies, and music; Ray reports on his sojourn to the Game Developers Conference; publically announcing the bar's closure; Alex is finally diagnosed with Advanced Stage Alex; a trip to the Koban; FF7R (no, the new one) and a critique of precious dialogue; the many faces of Akira Toriyama; Phone Phun, and a collection of Collections! Check out our pavilion at the Minute Maid Spring Break Concert Series sponsored by Mint Mobile! Mint Mobile: Why Else?

Hey whoa, get a load of this: It's a packed discussion about a packed month, and we lead off with ACAB Japan; game developers and the conferences that love them; way too much about taxes (it's March, give us a break!); dumb slogans and the guys who read them; two big RPGs with big parties, including Cosmic Kiryu; applause breaks; Alex retro-achieves crawling back to Vana'Diel; and hey, play some of those free games! As ever, this podcast is nonrefundable.

Celebrating our fourth leap year! This episode, the podcast returns to free-range easy-livin'; the enigma of the podcast promo; the inaugural installment of What Did Alex Do?; commencing Operation Sunset (thanks in part to the rules of Japanese unemployment insurance); phone etiquette in the wild; Alex concludes his research on Love Letter RPGs; Ray continues to like a dragon; games on the horizon and an analysis of survival horror combat; a tight and tidy Phone Phun, and video games for fitness and otherwise! This is the last rest area for 60 miles!

Casting pods for 242 years! Or it feels like it, anyway! This time: Alex shoulders the burden of being an American taxpayer; for Ray, No More Schoolers; how both those things leave us hopeless; Hemophobes beware because talk about a very bloody good time; and obsolete sitcoms rule our lives. This podcast is like AI but we can't tell you how to start a car dealership.
