A party of four puts on our thinking hats, contemplating games we haven’t played – and which we should tackle in a packed April. Surprise...




pi

RPGCast – Episode 499: “Kung Fu Maids”

It's the final countdown! Chris and Anna Marie are joined by regular Kelley and irregular Jonathan, who always brings interesting games and hardware to discuss. April Fool's just passed, and several companies got silly. We also considered piles of feedback in the Question of the Week. We'll miss you all, see you in six weeks.




pi

RPGCast – Episode 500: “Prince’s Woof-fu”

Today we celebrate 500 episodes of fun with memories and clips you picked. While we don’t know why you keep listening, we’re sure glad that you do. Here’s to 500 more and our apologies that we still don’t have that dang horse for sale.




pi

RPGCast – Episode 501: “Why Gato No Swim?”

After the giant Show 500 last week, we’re back to a more normal format. A robust Minecraft discussion during Now Playing precedes news including first hints of things being shown at E3. We also discuss your feedback and this week’s releases include a game both Kelley and Anna Marie are very excited for!




pi

RPGCast – Episode 502: “#Chickenshame”

Kelly commits fowl atrocities. Chris gets satisfied. Josh does a musical number. Pascal takes a cold steel shower. And Peter is streaming now at mixer.com/peterthomas6!




pi

RPGCast – Episode 503: “Goku Twerking At Fish”

Goku got moves. Square Enix got the dollar bills. Keanu got a fandom. And you got a really long post E3 podcast. Now go teach those youngsters how the weapon triangle works.

RPGCast – Episode 504: “Officially Canon Girl”

A post-E3 slump won’t get this podcast down! The RPG Cast chats about Judgment, discusses what little news did trickle in during the week, and looks ahead to an exciting #JRPGJuly.




pi

RPGCast – Episode 505: “We’ll Just Postpone It Every Week”

Anna Marie loses her mind as well as control of her mouth. Chris investigates the impacts of bringing Diet Coke into Mementos. Peter buys more games. Nathan finishes Final Fanatasy VIII just in time to start playing Final Fantasy VIII. And Kelley just tries to survive Bloodstained's framerate on the Switch.




pi

RPGCast – Episode 506: “Luigi Tries His Hardest”

We’re back from our mini-vacation and #JRPGJuly is in full swing. Now playing includes praise for Persona Q2, FF14, and Atelier Lulua. We're also impressed with how everyone agrees in the feedback section. Now I must go find Chris and comfort him as he laments Marle.




pi

RPGCast – Episode 507: “Are You Even A Gamer?”

Chris got kicked off his own show this week to make room for a panel full to bursting with #JRPGJuly updates! Some are playing new games, some are playing old games, but let’s face it - everyone will be playing Fire Emblem next week.

RPGCast – Episode 508: “I Need Waifus”

Fire Emblem Three Houses released this week and we're (almost) all playing it - but there's a bit of controversy afoot. Pascal talks about poor choices he's made in other games. And the news section is all twisty, tumbly, and turvy. Now back to our respective waifus, husbandos, and depressing games...sos.




pi

RPGCast – Episode 509: “I Need A Guide”

Johnathan, Nathan, and Chris try to figure out the code running behind Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Yokai Watch is coming out again. China has a bunch of cool RPGs. And Persona 5 Royal leaks some more details!




pi

RPGCast – Episode 510: “The Anna Marie Seal Of Mediocrity”

We hope you’re not sick of Fire Emblem: Three Houses from last week, because we’ve got even more this episode. We discuss strategies for raising professor rank and recruiting, in case you need some tips. We also cover a variety of games and their official release dates. Finally, our briefs are more like long underwear this week.




pi

RPGCast – Episode 511: “Tit For Tat”

Remember your lost days of innocence? Neither do we. Peter, Kelley, Josh, Matt, Chris, and Anna Marie all prove they shouldn't be trusted with a podcast this week. Then we investigate whether...oh no, look out! Fraulein!




pi

RPGCast – Episode 512: “I Gave Hubert A Teddy Bear And He Burned It”

While Fire Emblem: Three Houses seems to finally be put aside by most folks, a few are still learning the dangerous pitfalls of gift giving. As usual, cats and Robin Williams are discussed. Then someone pre-orders Pantsu Hunter and someone else tries to shove CDs into an iPhone to get monsters.

pi

RPGCast – Episode 514: “Holy **** a 12-slot bag!!!”

What’s old is new again as we deep dive into WoW Classic and how the heck did we even get onto this topic again? News from TGS, what games you’re playing in September, and even more releases coming in the second half of the month, please pity our reviewers.




pi

RPGCast – Episode 515: “Jerky Goose Things”

HONK! This week’s RPGCast has almost everyone playing a different game. HONK! We also discuss plenty of news and your feedback. HONK!




pi

RPGCast – Episode 516: “Listening to Link Drown Is the Cutest Thing”

While Chris destroys Anna Marie's right joycon (press R to pay respects), the rest of the cast discusses their now playing, the news of the week, and there are still far too many games releasing every week. Please save us.




pi

RPGCast – Episode 517: “Sonic and the Holograms”

Not much news, but there are many games out this week. We won't play any of them though. Alice is on about Space Station 13, Kelley re-upped World of Warcraft, Anna Marie is playing Dragon Quest III, and Chris is still playing Final Fantasy IV.




pi

RPGCast – Episode 518: “Cohesive Beginning, Middle, and End”

This week, Alex and Anna Marie can talk about their embargoed games, Peter finishes a game, and Chris worries about his cats. Kelley’s question of the week leads us down rabbit holes we probably shouldn’t have explored, but we’re doing it live and that’s how we roll.

RPG Cast – Episode 519: “Sommersaulting Cat Buses”

Jonathan crashes the RPGCast this week because he heard that Chris, Anna Marie, Kelley, Peter, and Nathan were dissing on Tactics Ogre. We also discuss child care our Now Playing. But don't worry, while the news is slim, it's also pleasantly robust.




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 520: “Spider Sores”

This week, Anna Marie is so excited about Blizzcon that she totally forgets the order of the show! Chris, Kelley, Peter, and Josh somehow still cover what we're playing, news, and new releases...eventually, anyways.




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 521: “Upsell You to Unlimited Meows”

We figured it would be a short show because there's not a lot of news this time of year. Turns out Alex, Kelley, Peter, Chris, and Anna Marie still had plenty to discuss with their now playing, your feedback, and the upcoming releases including Pokémon.




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 522: “Pants at Finding My Way Around”

Alright folks, it's out so it's time to feel out if the Dexit folks were right or wrong. We also hear about Path of Exile 2 and more RPG news than you'd expect at this time of year. But let's be honest, we just want to go back to leveling up our starters.




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 523: “He’s Big Enough for Both of Us to Pet”

We're all Pokécrazy this week, with Alex, Anna Marie, Chris, Kelley and Peter all discussing their Pokétales and where the series could go moving forward. Josh is the odd man out, but he's got interesting demos to share instead, so it's cool. Wait, wasn't this supposed to be a short show?!

RPG Cast – Episode 524: “Overhead Isometricy Game”

Alex, Johnathan, and Chris run through the past two weeks of news, bemoan the lack of time to play games, and then commit to not trying to play anything new. Ring Fit Adventure wins RPG of the year. But seriously, why isn't Shining Force II on that thing?




pi

RPGCast – Episode 525: “Schrödinger’s Phoenix”

It's the final podcast of the decade! Alex, Anna Marie, Chris, Kelley and Peter end the year with a bang...and maybe a whimper too. News, your lists of top DS games, and what we're going to play to ring in the new year. See you in 2020!




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 526: “Slightly Smaller Than Your Average Spoon or Fork”

We're back and better* than ever! On this special episode of the RPGCast we do a deeper dive into what we've been playing and discuss our holiday hauls. *Note: RPG Cast 526 may not actually be better than any other previous RPG Cast.




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 527: “Chris Should Play Nier Automata”

It's Alice's first appearance of the decade! Ther crew is rounded out by Alex, Anna Marie, Chris, Kelley and Peter who are back to discuss your treasured memories of the last decade, as well as the news, reviews, and releases from the last few weeks. Wasn't there supposed to be a break from releases...?

Woop woop! Explicit alert! This get a bit unclean as we try to figure out our Game of the Year picks for 2019. We find out just what you can get done with slave labor. We learn the true martial power of haircuts. And we finally realize Anna Marie shouldn't be allowed to keep animals.




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 530: “Look, It Has Red XIII in It, Just Buy It”

Today we learned that Pokémon Home may rival Kingdom Hearts for difficult to understand stories. The Switch is finally getting some Outer Worlds love. And Anna Marie passes a kidney stone.

RPG Cast – Episode 531: “Postage Stamp Emblem”

While you're going to gaming jail, you'll want to listen to our show so you know what games to bring with you. Fallout 76 has a new update, perhaps it'll be a good choice for you. Phantasy Star Online 2 had a wonderful beta, maybe it's the way to go. Unfortunately, Metal Max Xeno: Reborn was delayed so you'll have to wait a bit for that one.




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 532: “Meowls”

Anna Marie is finally back (and a little loopy on painkillers). There’s ample fawning for Mass Effect in our Now Playing, as Kelley chooses an unusual romantic encounter! Arguments break out over March and April’s packed release schedule, but a truce is eventually reached.




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 533: “Oops, All Dead People”

This RPG Cast was recorded in the dark before a dead studio audience. Josh fails at Fire Emblem. Jonathan becomes a rock star. Kelley pines for Garrus. Chris gets spooked. And Anna Marie harvests squid poop. Yeah it's a weird show.




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 534: “Dr. Thunder Fallout”

We missed you all last week, but we’re back with a bunch of hot topics, including the FF7R demo, Dragon Quest of the Stars, and which alien Kelley got busy with in Mass Effect. Anna Marie gets really confused about review scores, and we can’t really decide when a Millennial starts and a Gen-X ends. Of course, none of that matters because Animal Crossing is almost here!




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 535: “Hand-Washing Song”

We’re all cooped up, but that doesn’t mean the video game news stops! Well, it actually was a little slimmer this week, but Anna Marie, Chris, Jonathan, Kelley, and Peter still have plenty of games to discuss. We also have an impromptu hand-washing sing-along?




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 536: “When We Get Back to Work We’re Building a Box Fort”

Guest star Sam Watcher joins us, and that means this week's podcast is officially explicit! Between the occasion cuss bomb, we discuss Animal Crossing and Chris' poor decision making, Alex's dive into Persona 5 Royal, and exactly why Kelley needs to finish FF7: Crisis Core in the near future. Anna Marie and Peter round out the 'cast crew this week as we dive into the weekly headlines along with your feedback.




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 537: “Shady Turnip Deal”

Peter, Kelley, Chris, and Anna Marie are joined by Alice this week; while she didn’t deliver any missiles, large robots may be a part of the podcast in unexpected ways! We discuss cheating on the stalk market, the news of the week, and your feedback. Now to wait for our copies of Persona 5 Royal to arrive...hurry up already!

Alex, Kelley, Nathan, and Peter have all descended into the slums of Midgar, so the Final Fantasy VII Remake dominates our Now Playing, but Anna Marie still manages to answer a question left over from last week about Persona 5 Royal. Our listeners recount their memories of the original FF7 and we even manage to squeak in some news of the week too.

RPG Cast – Episode 540: “Dooting While I Was Muting”

Alex, Josh, Kelley, and Peter join hosts Chris and Anna Marie for a lively show, but be warned: CONTAINS PERSONA 5 ROYAL AND FINAL FANTASY 7 REMAKE SPOILERS in the Now Playing section. Beyond that, the panel discusses news of the day, including the bizarre Cooking Mama drama. Hey, that rhymes!




pi

RPG Cast – Episode 541: “Let Him Explain!”

We’re back with a juicy show to kick off May. Alex, Chris, Josh, and Kelley join host Anna Marie for a catch-up segment of what we’ve all been playing for the last two weeks. News of the last two weeks gets a little weird as games are being delayed left and right, yet Indivisible somehow gets released early? What a weird world we live in.
