<p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We’re playing two not very classics of their respective genres today as we go back to the back half of the 90s to play an early action game and a relatively early 3D platformer. We’re kind of split on which game we prefer along lines I expect you’d predict, but we both had a pretty good time with both games anyway! Also, before that, Jackson gives the MOTHER of all segment 1 updates. </p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">At 16:15 or so until 1:15:30 Jackson's Audacity file broke and we had to use the backup. Em's a little quiet during this section but it's mostly okay. I did my best with the edit. Sorry about that! </p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Thank you so much as always for listening, please rate and review the podcast, and tell all your friends on whatever social media you call home that they should check us out.

<p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We tackle a newer game this month as we talk about the critically acclaimed adventure game 1000xRESIST. We found plenty to love and plenty to pick at during our time with this one, but it’s exactly the kind of messy game we tend to like around here, so we’re glad we played it and I hope you enjoy listening to us talk through it!</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Thank you so much as always for listening, please rate and review the podcast, and tell all your friends on whatever social media you call home that they should check us out.
