    Friend Request Episode 26 – The Weight of Queerphobia

    [Content Warning: Includes extensive discussion of fictional transphobia and queerphobia.] We’re not always positive on the relationships and characters we discuss on this show, but this week is a different matter altogether. I like to think we err on the side of constructive criticism on this show, never hating for the sake of hate, and […]

    Friend Request Episode 25 – Sam & Sarah, Asagi

    It turns out, the Tom Clancy series is pretty badly written! Marvel at the “relationship” of Sam and Sarah Fisher of the Splinter Cell series, a father-daughter duo where the woman’s role is simply to be a carrot on a stick to drive Sam forward. She isn’t treated as valuable in her own right, only […]

    Friend Request Episode 24 – Kratos, Marcus & Wrench

    You know, in looking for sound clips for this week’s intro, I found out that Kratos spends less time angrily screaming the name of his enemies than I thought. He actually does a lot of stiff, really-pissed-but-handling-it normal talking, which I did NOT remember. Whatever, it’s still a travesty how utterly every God of War […]

    Friend Request Episode 23 – The Fire Emblem Kids, Wander & Agro

    A horse is a horse; of course, of course. And no one can talk to a horse, of course. Except, of course, if the name of the horse is Wander’s noble steed Agro. Throughout Shadow of the Colossus, Agro is without friends or allies, set on a seemingly impossible task, and his only friend is […]

    Friend Request Episode 22 – Evie & Jacob, Edgeworth & Gumshoe

    I thought about making that “Miles & Dick” instead of “Edgeworth & Gumshoe.” Then I was like “I should REALLY avoid putting ‘Dick’ in the title of an episode. Is he a Richard?” And then I realized even if he was no one calls him that so then no one would know what I was […]

    Friend Request Episode 21 – Yu & Akira, Adam Jensen

    I would feel guiltier about coming back to Persona characters over and over if we didn’t have good conversations every single time. This week on Friend Request, we’re starting off by comparing the protagonists of Persona 4 and Persona 5, Yu Narukami and Akira Kurusu! Then Colin needs to quickly correct verself for their previous […]

    Friend Request Episode 20 – Varian Wrynn, Lara Croft

    It’s a character study this week on Friend Request, as both Jen and Colin brought individual characters! Colin asks us to ponder Varian Wrynn, High King of the Alliance from World of Warcraft, and how he defies Blizzard’s usual indecision and instability in writing. Jen wants to look at the gaming icon Lara Croft, and […]

    Friend Request Episode 19 – Guardian & Ghost, Sam & Lonnie

    Sequels are often a progression and development of the strengths of the original, but sometimes part of the predecessor’s appeal can be left behind in the efforts to improve. Such is the case with Destiny 1, where part of the charm of the Guardian and the Ghost as characters and partners simply didn’t make the […]
