    This week's episode brings a different round table to the mic, as Nayan is off in California for Playstation Experience. Dan and Bryan are joined by Bart, who is our sound engineer and was more than happy to add his voice to the conversation. Besides a riveting discussion of Netflix's new Marvel drama, Jessica Jones, we take a three fold look at the genre of Japanese 16-bit horror. First, there's a talk about Yume Nikki, a psychological horror game that's been on Playism for some time now and is available completely free. Secondly, we discuss Witch's House, a semi-known indie game that Dan's been getting frightened by. Lastly, Bryan talks Memento, an upcoming game on Playism that's sure to both scare and enrapture the right crowd. It might be December, but there's nothing more frightening than the J-Play podcast this week!

    Episode 9 - Julius Wouldn't Do That!

    Episode 9 finds Dan, Nayan and Bryan back together to continue talking about games, gaming and all things great! Nayan is incredibly excited to break down all the things he loves about the MidBoss game Read Only Memories, but everyone gets distracted by the things around them. From Bojack Horseman to Demon Souls, it's clear that there's so much to say! There are no spoilers contained within, but, if you're on the fence about Read Only Memories, Nayan and Dan's enthusiastic examination of the game's inner mechanisms and how our own lives are mirrored (or at least examined) by playing characters as we, ourselves, would live. It's quite the trip, and one that you should definitely strap in and enjoy!
