Cyberpunk 2077, Episode 15: All These Things That I've Done
And so V and Johnny Silverhand's story comes to an end.
In our Cyberpunk 2077 finale, we talk about all the games' endings and why we picked the ones we did in the end of our respective playthroughs. We touch on the inner politics of Arasaka, finding a new family in the Aldecaldos, and what it means to stay in Night City after everything V has been through.
We also close out the episode by talking about what's next for Normandy FM.
Enjoy the show!

A Brief Hiatus
Hey everyone. We wanted to take a moment ahead of the Cyberpunk 2077 finale to set some expectations, as the show will have to go on a brief hiatus ahead of the Nier season. Some life stuff has come up and we're not going to be able to pick up right after Cyberpunk as we planned, so we wanted to take a quick second to put this announcement on the podcast feed where everyone would hear it.
But don't worry! We will be back as soon as we're able. This isn't goodbye.

Cyberpunk 2077, Episode 14: On the Brink feat. Collin MacGregor and Sam Greer
Before we head into the finale, we've got some odds and ends to clean up. Collin MacGregor and Sam Greer join us to talk through some of Cyberpunk 2077's Act 3 side quests, and we work through our feelings on the uneven segment of the game, and hypothesize why it ran out of steam at the very end.
Enjoy the show!

Cyberpunk 2077, Episode 11: The Hand That Feeds feat. Matt Kim
IGN's Matt Kim joins us to talk about Goro Takemura and how he helps us set up Cyberpunk 2077's final decision, but doesn't do much else.
In this episode we talk about how Goro embodies Asian stereotypes often perpetuated in the Cyberpunk genre, and how he offers one of the game's best conversations about class issues, but does nothing with it.

Customer Reviews
Enjoyed the Final Fantasy X/X-2 season!
Really enjoy the passion the hosts have for the games. They go in to a lot of detail describing them as well as give their opinions on various aspects of the mechanics and story. It is a good time.
Great pod. Great hosts.
These gents are a genuine delight. The show is a blast. The guests are stellar. If you’re a Mass Effect and Dragon Age fan it’s a must listen. They go so in-depth it’s like hanging with friends and just chatting about games. It’s easily the second best BioWare related podcast ever made.
-Matt aka Stormageddon
Thank you
I've had a lot of hit-or-miss luck with podcasts, but found this group in the midst of a great streak. I simultaneously have some "I wanna fight you on that" moments as well as some really strong "YES, EXACTLY THAT, YAY" moments.
I haven't even TOUCHED a lot of the podcast at this point, but knowing this podcast is here is definitely encouraging me to pick up some ME games as well as dive into another Inquisition run just so I can come back and see how well we match up (and where we differ) with our Inquisitors.
Thank you for being here and doing what you do.
