Support my work on Patreon- https://patreon.com/realdavejackson Persona games are a tough sell for a guy who does a weekly podcast like this, so thank you to my wonderful patrons for voting Persona 4 Golden onto the show. While it has all of the pacing issues that you would expect an 80 hour game to have, I thought this is, in some ways, the best of the Persona 4/5/Metaphor trio that I've played in the last five years. Tune in to the episode to find out why.

Continuing along my journey of playing Konami and Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid series, next up is Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. This is the one that is most often held up as the greatest in the series, and I can absolutely see why. It's not without flaws- it's still clunky to play and continues the trend of no Metal Gear Solid game having normal pacing, but I greatly enjoyed my experience with it. We also discussed some things we would like to see in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta remake. Joining me for this discussion is Katie Lesperance of Left Behind Game Club and Cutscenes: A Video Game Movie & TV Podcast. Both of those shows are worth your time if you like the pitch, and you can find them both on your favorite podcast app or by following these links: Left Behind Game Club (https://plnk.to/leftbehind?to=page) Cutscenes (https://linktr.ee/cutscenes_pod) TIMESTAMPS Intros/Personal Histories/Opening Thoughts 1:52 Story Setup/Theme Intros/Male Gaze/Pacing 14:49 Presentation 41:17 Stealth/Survival Gameplay 48:18 Closing Thoughts/Recommendations/Housekeeping 1:17:38 SPOILER WALL 1:26:17 Music used in the episode is credited to Harry Gregson-Williams and Norihiko Hibino.

From the first time I saw a screenshot of The Case of the Golden Idol, by Color Gray Games, I was struck by these caricaturish portraits and knew I'd have to follow up on it someday. Then the comparisons to a favorite of mine, Return of the Obra Dinn, started rolling in and I knew I would have to play it sooner rather than later. And a big shoutout to community member Soccr for buying this for me in our Discord server Secret Santa! Yay!

The Last of Us Part II, by Naughty Dog is one of the most polarizing video games ever made. The sequel to a wildly successful, and some would say "complete", video game was bound to leave some feeling left behind, but this game quickly joined The Discourse....and I didn't hear any of it. So I came to this relatively fresh, and invited on Flora Merigold from Epilogue Gaming (https://epiloguegaming.com/) and Left Behind Game Club (https://leftbehindgame.club) to discuss! Find out how we felt about this landmark, yet controversial game.

Hey there Screen Beans! New podcast time and this week we are joined by podcaster and writer, Flora Merigold.

It's the end of an era… the Left Behind Game Club is changing. Read the full text below or listen to the announcement: After over 160 episodes over five and half years, our release cadence will be slowing down. Going forward, we will move from a twice-monthly model to a non-regular publishing schedule. We don't quite know what that cadence will look like yet but we know that it will be much less than 24 shows a year. Please stay subscribed to the feed, though, as you should expect non-regular new audio, like episodes about very long games that we have been dying to play but couldn't due to the time constraints that come with producing a twice-monthly show, as well as interviews from conventions and updates on some of our new projects. A few very important pieces of housekeeping: Our Discord community will remain active; if you haven't joined yet, please find it at leftbehindgame.club/discord The podcast back catalog will stay up for the foreseeable future although we may migrate podcast hosting platforms this year We will send out updates about new episodes via our Twitter (@LeftBehindClub) You can still find us all of us on the Internet: Moe will be on Twitter and Instagram Mike will be @ruffolom on all major social platforms or at michaelruffolo.com and michaelruffolo.ca (branding, baby) Jacob will be @JacobMcCourt on Twitter and TikTok. You can see his seasonal Video Game Trivia show on YouTube and his written work at TheGamingBrief.ca. Katie can be found @lesperak on Twitter and you can listen to Jacob, Travis and Katie's other podcast, Cutscenes, on all major podcasting platforms. You can find Flora's work at EpilogueGaming.com and follow her on Twitter @ludonarrativefm. Travis can be found on Twitter at @traviscolenutt. So to summarize again, the show is moving to a non-regular publishing model. We aren't going to commit to the next show or number of episodes per year, so our Discord and podcast feed will be the best places to find updates. Over the past nearly half dozen years, we have been humbled by the support that you have shown our little independent Canadian video game podcast. With over 100K downloads, six nominations from the Canadian Podcast Awards, and press from Apple Podcasts, PocketCasts, CBC, and more… I think we did alright. Thanks for everything, and with that, my friends, we'll see you when we see you.
