Braden "ArbitraryWater" [REDACTED], Chris "ZombiePie" [REDACTED], and Adam "Borgmaster" [REDACTED] all put their lives, sanity, and marital status on the line to discuss another high quality JRPG banger, Imageepoch's own Time and Eternity. Along the way they discuss its jarring art style, unsurprisingly great Yuzo Koshiro soundtrack, and long dissertations over the difference between "good" anime and ""goood"" anime. Does it truly live up to being the worst-rated PS3 JRPG? How many games are we going to play that feature blondes and redheads sharing the same body? Where is Valmar.jpg when you need him?
