This week games journalist extraordinaire Kat Bailey returns to discuss her novice journey into becoming a Magic fanatic, and how great the Final Fantasy set is! Casual Magic is brought to you by Quivertime and Archidekt and by my patrons at Patreon.com/shivamb. Thank you for your support!

Kat Bailey (Axe of the Blood God podcast, formerly IGN & USgamer) uses a jump gate to warp through hyperspace for the sake of a ninety-nine question interview. Join Kat and I as we discuss the 10 year anniversary of her show 'Axe of the Blood God', iconic RPG weapons, a KFC SNES, cozy vibes, Babylon 5, being a sports game fan in the video game industry, the Zelda formula, and how many penguins is too many.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠99 Questions on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠99 Questions on BlueSky!⁠⁠⁠--ASK ME A QUESTION!

This week Nathan and Riley are joined by special guest Kat Bailey, former news director at IGN and current host of the Axe of the Blood God podcast, to discuss a news week that's certainly been… interesting. First we talk about the entire staff of long-running video game site God Is A Geek quitting after its now-ex-priest owner threw up a Nazi salute at a pro-life conference. Guess you can only get away with that shit if you're a billionaire. Then we dig into BioWare's recent post-Dragon Age woes, with EA reshuffling some developers into non-BioWare teams and laying off others. Is the next Mass Effect in trouble? And beyond that, does BioWare as we know it have a future? Lastly, in response to a variation on the age-old question of which Pokemon would taste best to eat, we pose another: Could Moltres die of avian flu?    Credits - Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Riley MacLeod, & special guest Kat Bailey - Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude - Subscribe to Aftermath!

It's the end of the year and Rob has crawled out of the ruins of his home repairs long enough to talk to Axe of the Blood God's Kat Bailey about the ruins and rebuilding opportunities in game journalism. Kat talks about the challenges of making game journalism relevant to the communities most engaged with games, and the challenge of adapting a model that has its origins in print to our fractured digital age. Plus, Kat tells Rob which RPGs he needs to go back to, and tells everyone what is the one RPG they shouldn't miss this year. Then Cado and Rob solve lasers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kat Bailey, one of the general managers of the Tonga Hut (LA's oldest tiki bar), started mixing tropical drinks there in 2018 after years of slinging martinis alongside wanna be actors and crafting menus for karaoke bars. A lifelong Angeleno, Kat was going to the Tonga Hut years before she actually worked there, and was a huge fan of LA's 90s alt rock scene too, as her devotion to locals the Red Hot Chili Peppers demonstrates. Check out her Tonga mix here, because it truly had a bit of everything: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3yq2g5ZhdBgoWH8GsrMUbb?si=33be0f940e04448b

It's football season, so what better way to mark the occasion than watching … an NFL propaganda film?

Throughout the '90s, Star Fox transitioned from technical showpiece to extremely reliable rail shooter; but in the following decade, Fox McCloud and the gang didn't fare nearly as well. The 2000s saw the Star Fox brand transform into a sandbox for gameplay ideas, with each attempt disappointing players still chasing the high of Star Fox 64. Then, the series went into hibernation for a decade, only to emerge when the Wii U desperately needed a hit. Still, one question remains: are these various tamperings with the Star Fox formula really all that bad? On the finale of this two-part series, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, Diamond Feit, and Kat Bailey as the crew barrel rolls into the back half of the Star Fox library to explore the lower moments of Nintendo's most tortured IP.

Join Peer Schneider, Kat Bailey, Brian Altano, and Seth Macy, four radical post-teens, for this week's Nintendo Voice Chat as we talk Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, which is just the best possible game going right now. We also discuss the Fire Emblem leak, Persona coming to Switch (actually, not coming to Switch) and we learn about a game called Monkey Donkey, which is a rip-off of a Nintendo property from back in the days before Nintendo was able to stop such blatant copying. Seriously, it's the same game, but with gross colors.

Jeremy Parish, Stuart Gipp, Jared Petty, and Kat Bailey look deep inside their hearts and find that there is indeed room enough for love, even for crummy games that don't deserve it. This week, we discuss the lousy ol' games we love despite themselves. Retronauts is made possible by listener support through Patreon!
