    50.2 - Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (Part 2)

    Don’t look at the calendar. Today we finally bring you the second part of our discussion on Smashterpiece #50, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance! Stop looking at it. There’s lots of stuff in this game, there’s swords, there’s magic, there’s uncomfortable conversations about racism and classism and how they shape the systems that build our societies, there’s people who can turn into cats. The date doesn’t matter, stop it. Ike’s got a big sword that he swings around and that’s pretty cool. I will take that calendar away I swear to god. Lethe is also very cute and I wish she’d disembowel me but we don’t have to worry about that. Fine, it’s been a full year, okay? Okay?? You happy now? Put the CALENDAR AWAY. YOU’RE RUINING THE HOLIDAYS.

    50.1 - Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (Part 1)

    I present to you this lukewarm defense of the one named Boyd: yeah sure he sucks, and he’s bad at combat, and he got his ass beat by a child that one time, and the only girl his age thinks he’s a huge dumb loser, and nobody actually values his opinion, and he seems weirdly full of himself despite all the abuse, and he’s definitely never gonna be in charge of anything, and his brothers are both more liked than him somehow, and… sorry, I lost my train of thought, what were we talking about? Aw, whatever. Let’s just move on to part one of our discussion on Smashterpiece #50 (oh my god what do you mean 50): Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, this episode covering up to the end of Chapter 8. It’s the game with the swords and the grids and please stick around, yes I know the last one took a really long time but we’re- no hey come back, just give us a chance! Don’t take the kids! We’ll be back soon with more discussion on Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance!

    49 - Star Fox: Assault

    Space. Some say it’s the final frontier, but I never watched Star Trek so honestly I wouldn’t say that. Nobody can hear you scream in space, though! … But I haven’t seen Alien, either. Neither of these things has anything to do with the topic of this episode, the only slight thread that can be found is the fact that they all take place in space to some degree. Sure, not entirely in space. In fact some might say the amount of times our subject isn’t in space is too many. That subject is Smashterpiece #49: Star Fox: Assault, where space ships are reportedly part of the whole experience. I don’t know where I’m going with this and the meds are kicking in. Which meds? Iunno, Peppy had a lot sitting on his desk and I just sorta went ham. The music in this game is pretty alright, though! I don’t like dinosaurs. Does anybody else see those bugs? Please call a doctor. Join us next time as we sharpen our swords and return to war in Smashterpiece #50, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

    48.2 - Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (Part 2)

    I don’t wanna write this episode description. You can’t make me write it. What did this game do for me that makes it deserve an episode description from Michelin five star episode description chef Joe? Oh, what, is it pretentious to give myself five stars? It’s called self-confidence and I’m usually devoid of it, unlike the protagonist of Smashterpiece #48, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Samus Aran. She fights those there Ing and she does it without breaking a sweat! I assume. She wears a helmet, it’s difficult to tell. Anyways, no matter what Melanie says I don’t believe I owe this game my time in writing an episode description. I won’t be bullied into it, there’s nothing you or those Luminoths or any other space bugs can say that will change my mind. Especially not Spider Guardian, don’t you DARE bring up Spider Guardian, stupid rolly thing it doesn’t even look like a spider, can’t even do that right. With that being said, I’ll just stop writing and read over what I- OH GOD DAMNIT. Join us next time as we enter THE BUG WARS (or something) in Smashterpiece #49: Star Fox Assault

    48.1 - Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

    So I’m talkin’ to this fella, right? And I says to him, I says, “I crashed my ship on this planet and now you tell me it’s planets? Two of ‘em?” And he says, here’s what he says, “my people are dying in an endless war between light and dark, please help us.” I say “fella listen up I just got here and you’re lookin’ for money? What is this, my most recent divorce trial?” He looks at me and he says “I need you to collect energy from the Ing and bring it back to this temple in order to help turn the tides.” I sit down cause this is a lot, I say “listen fella you want energy? So do I! Tired all the time, like I’m some kinda old coot!” He says “Go to the Agon Wastes.” I say “Buddy lemme tell ya I know a lot about waste, cause I’m a waste of space!” Then he shot me! This episode covers up to the end of the Agon Wastes. We’ll be back soon with more discussion on Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
