Game amnesia is a rare medical disorder where a person contracting the ailment forgets that they ever played a game or series. It is 100% a real disease and not at all something we made up as a what if for the show. Join us as we discuss which game series we would love to forget so we could come back to them and enjoy them some more.

Many have asked "What is Game?" Is this game? Are you game? Maybe only game is game. Titanfall is probably game. This week we talk about South Park: The Stick Of Truth and if it makes us bad people, Tetris Battle Gaiden and why it was never released in the states, and The Wolf Amoung Us episode 2 and once again if it makes us bad people. In Gameclub we play Today I Die and ponder the deeper meanings of life, poetry, and once again, what is game? We get sorta deep. We also revisit the developer swap topic with a fan letter and go full game reviewer on his ass.

To many, Japan is a mythical place where young girls in school uniforms fight with katanas over matter of honor or cell phone charms. To Jon, Japan is a real place... where young girls in school uniforms fight with katanas over matter of honor or cell phone charms. Learn about all the wonders he saw while he was there, from robot fighting arenas to retro gaming bars.

Jet setter and Worldly traveler Jon Anderson (pictured in post as the Riddler because why not) returns to the show from his trip to the other half of the planet just in time for us to discuss Threes!, Strider, Bravely Default, Attack on Titan, and Indiecade East.

For reals. He. Is. In. China. In his absence we go 3DS crazy, playing though Gunman Clive, collecting Rupees in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition, and diving deep into the world of Bravely Default. In gameclub we play through the last half of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Does it hold up or is it a not so delightful romp into the world of endless backtracking?
