    What could this possibly be?

    Seems a lot like a podcast…

    Wonder what specifically?

    Talkin’ bout video games,

    With your hosts, you’re in good hands.

    Not more of the same!

    Now we’ll jump right in,

    So expect the unexpected and more.  

    Now we’ll get groovin,’

    Never know who’s gonna walk through the door!

    There just might be some treasure in this chest,

    Having fun with our special guests,

  • It’s an oddly short edition of The Stage Select this week,

    as it’s been quite the ordeal for both Julian and Justin since the last episode.

    We’re light on shenanigans this week, but we have plenty of games to talk

    about.

    00:00 Introduction, Julian’s quest to find something

    to play (Hellblade 2, The First Descendent, Zenless Zone Zero)

    36:04 Convincing Justin to play I Am Part-Time Worker,

    Until Then, Miitopia, the sad state of the arcade scene

    01:23:03 V Rising, Final Fantasy XIV

    01:58:07 Questions, Comments, Concerns

    Theme song lyrics:

    What could this possibly be?

    Seems a lot like a podcast…

    Wonder what specifically?

    Talkin’ bout video games,

    With your hosts, you’re in good hands.

    Not more of the same!

    Now we’ll jump right in,

    So expect the unexpected and more.  

    Now we’ll get groovin,’

    Never know who’s gonna walk through the door!
