    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Surprise! One final Abnormal Mapping before the end of the year. Jackson is joined today by Erin to get thoughts down about the most baffling Game of the Year in recent history, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is a game that has kicked off a ton of discourse most of which talks around the actual game itself, which is what this podcast is about. I could not care less about France vs Japan I want to talk about this game’s weird fucking ending. Erin can be found on bsky here, go give them a follow!!

    Mega Man 7 & 8

    This one was in the can way before the new Mega Man was announced, but I’m glad they finally listened to us and made another one of these. But we went back to the first evolution of classic Mega Man with two of the less respected but surprisingly disparate entries in the Mega Man series. Hope you enjoy!
