Hey hey! We're back with our second episode that we recorded at this year's GDC, and it's a doozy!

Please Don't Tell Industries would formally like to grant every member of our audience permission to have a #pleaseDOtellsummer. That's right. The temperature is warmer, the shorts are shorter, and the honesty is unabated. Unabated, I say!!! Will there be an abatement? NAY, NAY, NAY! That's right. This will be a summer of truths and in the spirit of this, Sarah and Jackie have decided to play a round of “Full Disclosure.” They'll go through their OWN search histories and challenge themselves to offer up something the audience will find interesting, embarrassing, or down right despicable. Well…not despicable. Unless you are a fundamentalist Christian who finds palm readings to be particularly heinous. Otherwise everythings cool here. Just some honest discussion about whether Wario and Waluigi are related, a round of “he's a ten but…”, and why a Duck Dynasty article leads to a viral TikTok leads to a childhood friend of Sarah's.

Episode 5 - Fan Translations Description: Part 1 of our new 3-part series on video game communities, we explore the wild world of fan translations. What motivates someone to hack a video game into another language when it may not be legal to do so and how do game companies benefit from the exhaustive labor of fandom? GAME CRIMES is a history project by Mike Bachmann (Greetings Adventures Podcast, Roll for Streetwise) and Jay Munford (SHU Podcast, Poor Skeleton Games) detailing the black market history of video games. Each podcast covers a single topic, provides some historical context and reviews a few games related to the topic. On the GAME CRIMES interactive streams, Mike and Jay answer questions, give how-to demonstrations and play these games for the first time.

Kingdom Hearts II by Disney and Square Enix is a video game originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2005. Kingdom Hearts II by Alexa Ray Corriea is a book originally released in both paperback and e-book formats in 2017. Both are excellent. Alexa's book takes an in-depth look at the stellar game; the characters, the themes, the lessons to be learned, and a whole lot more. Unfortunately she's not my guest this week; in fact, I don't have a guest at all! So instead I shake things up by doing a kind of solo book club where I break down and analyze the book Kingdom Hearts II, which breaks down and analyzes the game Kingdom Hearts II. Fun, right? I reviewed the book previously, on episode 120 of Super Nerd Pals. You can find that episode here: https://soundcloud.com/supernerdpals/snp-120-1198-xehanort-radio You can also find (and purchase!) Alexa's book at Boss Fight Books, right here: https://bossfightbooks.com/products/kingdom-hearts-ii-by-alexa-ray-corriea

Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and a spiky haired kid vs. the forces of evil. What makes Kingdom Hearts great? We ask the person who wrote the book on the subject to chime in. We recorded this interview last year, so very happy to finally get it out to you.

For years, Alexa Ray Corriea has impressed games enthusiasts with her passion for RPGs and her deep knowledge of the industry. Today, she joins Fireside Chats for a discussion about the games of 2017, the role-playing genre we both adore, and the meteoric success of the Nintendo Switch. We also delve into a chat about games media, and whether it's in as much trouble as it seems to be, and whether many sites' adversarial tone and seeming lack of knowledge will simply drive more lapsed fans to YouTube, Twitch, and podcasts.

HELLO FRIENDS. Enter Kingdom Hearts quote here!
