Im Gespräch mit Michael Jost, dem ehemaligen Chefstrategen des Volkswagen-Konzerns und Gründer von eD-TEC, ging es um nichts weniger als die Zukunft von Mobilität, Energie und Industrie. Schon zu Beginn machte Jost klar: „Die Energiewende und damit auch die Mobilitätswende sind keine Frage des Ob, sondern des Wann.“ Für ihn steht fest, dass der Weg weg von fossilen Energien hin zu erneuerbaren Quellen unausweichlich ist – und dass Europa diese Transformation nur mit klarer Strategie, technologischem Mut und entschlossenem Handeln meistern kann. Er erinnerte daran, dass bereits 2018 bei Volkswagen die Weichen in Richtung Elektromobilität gestellt wurden. Doch rückblickend sieht er auch Versäumnisse: Eine zu starke Fixierung auf kurzfristige Renditen, zu wenig gemeinsame Stimme der deutschen Hersteller. „Wir haben es nicht geschafft, die großen Automobilplayer in Deutschland zu vereinen – jeder hat seine EBIT-Optimierung in den Vordergrund gestellt,“ so Jost kritisch. Im Gespräch, welches an die zwei Stunden ging und daher in drei Podcast-Folgen aufgeteilt wurde, wurde deutlich, dass für ihn Energie- und Mobilitätswende zwei Seiten derselben Medaille sind. Jost forderte, Deutschland müsse jährlich 100 Milliarden Euro in erneuerbare Technologien investieren – in Erzeugung, Speicherung, Infrastruktur und Ausbildung. Nur so könne echte Unabhängigkeit von fossilen Energieimporten erreicht werden. „Das wäre keine Ausgabe, sondern ein Asset,“ betonte er. Ein weiterer zentraler Punkt war die Notwendigkeit langfristiger Planung. Jost kritisierte den politischen Zyklus von vier Jahren, der tiefgreifende Strategien verhindere. „Wir brauchen eine übergreifende Strategie, die länger hält als eine Legislaturperiode,“ forderte er. Auch wirtschaftlich sieht er ein Umdenken als zwingend: Europa müsse wieder stärker auf Eigenständigkeit setzen – in Energiefragen, Technologie und Mobilität. Dabei blickte Jost nach vorn auf neue Geschäftsmodelle, die das klassische Besitzdenken ablösen. Modelle wie „Pay per Use“ oder flexible Subscriptions seien laut ihm unvermeidlich, ebenso wie das autonome Fahren. „Wenn wir in Europa als Erste den Menschen 20 Monate ihres Lebens zurückgeben, weil sie nicht mehr selbst fahren müssen – das ist echter Fortschritt,“ so Jost. Er sprach außerdem über die Rolle von Marken in dieser neuen Welt. Für ihn wird die Marke zur entscheidenden Währung – als Trägerin von Vertrauen, Identität und Sinn. „Marken sind die Antwort auf die Sehnsucht nach Vertrauen,“ erklärte er. Dabei müsse sich Europa wieder stärker auf die emotionale Seite seiner Industrie besinnen, anstatt sich ausschließlich über Zahlen und Technik zu definieren. Zum Schluss wagte Jost den Blick in die Zukunft: Elektroantriebe werden seiner Meinung nach 80 Prozent des Marktes dominieren, während der klassische Verbrenner nur noch als Nischenprodukt überlebt – ein „Uhrwerk der Ingenieurskunst“, betrieben mit synthetischen Kraftstoffen. Hybridlösungen könnten dort bestehen, wo reine Batterieantriebe an ihre Grenzen stoßen. Nun aber genug der Worte – hör am besten selbst rein in die aktuelle Podcast-Folge mit Michael Jost.

If you can't find something to enjoy in this movie, I have to question whether or not you have a soul.The movie is to video games what Toy Story is to toys. We watch Ralph struggle in his role as a bad guy when he isn't really a "bad" guy, and when he sets out to prove it to the NPCs in his game, the world of Fix It Felix Jr comes crashing down. Add in an adorable sidekick, a badass heroine, and more video game easter eggs than you can count, and you have one hell of a movie.Pending RTG Hall of Famer Mark McCue is my guest this week and we praised the piss out of this movie.

In this episode of the Paywall Podcast, Pete and Tyler give an "absolute yes", arguing that the "enormous" revenue gain far outweighs the admin work. They break down solutions for the two biggest publisher fears: payment hassles and login issues. They explain how to automate payment management and churn reduction using tools like Stripe, and how to make login support tickets pretty much disappear by combining a single email registration field with an auto-login system from your newsletter.

In the arts world, success isn't just about bringing in new people; it's about building long-lasting relationships with the ones you already have. The key to sustainability lies not in finding more first-time visitors, but in building strategies to inspire your existing audience to return again and again (and again).This episode explores why frequency, or deepening the rate at which customers come back, is the most powerful strategy for arts organizations.Key Takeaways to Put Into Action:Are Subscriptions Really Dead? No, but the mindset is. Subscriptions, memberships, CYOs and flex passes all still work when they're tools for one thing: driving frequency.Prioritize Returning Patrons: Focus on retaining loyal patrons, as they are your most reliable source of long-term success.Recency Leads to Frequency: Get people back sooner; it's the first step toward loyalty and one of the simplest, most powerful growth levers you have.Build Recurring Revenue: Prioritize audience return rates to create steady, repeatable revenue instead of relying on occasional sales.Organizational Alignment Drives Growth: Align marketing, development, and box office teams to create a unified strategy that nurtures long-term engagement.For more insights, past episodes, and to sign up for our newsletter, visit trgarts.com/leadingtheway Contact Info:  Email letstalk@trgarts.com

Click here to sign up for a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from my conversation with Nancy Fox:* Strategic Networking is Essential: Nancy emphasizes that building relationships with the right people is the foundation of business development, especially for professionals like lawyers and accountants. Networking should be targeted and strategic, not just about meeting as many people as possible.* AI as an Enhancement, Not a Replacement: Both Nancy and Mathew agree that AI is a powerful tool for enhancing professional work, not replacing expertise. AI can save time, provide strategic insights, and help with tasks like business planning and niche analysis, but it cannot substitute for real-world experience and judgment.* The Importance of Specialization and Niche: Specialization is evolving. While AI enables professionals to be more generalist, true differentiation comes from having a clear niche—whether that's a specific industry, demographic, or service. Being specific in your value proposition and target market is key.* Productizing and Recurring Revenue Models: Nancy discusses the value of productizing services and adopting recurring revenue models (like subscriptions or memberships) for professionals who want to scale without building large teams. This approach allows for more predictable income and leverages expertise in a repeatable way.* Embracing Failure and Adaptability: Nancy shares that a willingness to experiment, take risks, and even fail is crucial for growth. She stresses the importance of being willing to try new things, learn from failures, and pivot when something isn't working—qualities that are especially important for entrepreneurs and innovators.__________________________Learn more about Nancy Fox's networking group Wyze Rainmakers.Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.Here's a link to purchase lifetime access to the recordings of My Shingle's AI Teach-In if you couldn't make it live.I've partnered with Pii to make it easy for you to purchase the hardware I use in my law firm: (1) Studio Setup; (2) Midrange Setup; (3) Highrange Setup.Get Connected with SixFifty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gavel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an automation platform for law firms.Check out my other show, the Law for Kids Podcast.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Law Subscribed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to subscribe to the weekly newsletter to listen from your web browser.Prefer monthly updates?

R. Kenner French interviews trader/author Chris Vermeulen about a practical approach to making money in both rising and falling markets. Chris's core tip is simple: don't hold assets that are declining, and don't “over-diversify” across similar stock/bond assets that all sink together in bear phases. After trying nearly every trading style since age 16, he now focuses on a clean, rules-based approach using highly liquid ETFs and taking only a few high-probability trades each year.His method blends two pillars: technical analysis and sentiment. Technically, he rides established trends (higher highs/higher lows) and treats markets like ocean sets—catch the strong wave, raise stops as momentum fades, then exit and wait. On sentiment, he tracks flows across ~11 asset classes to see where money is moving (risk-on vs risk-off). When both price and flows align, he enters; when they don't, he steps aside.The audience “avatar” is typically 45+ investors who prioritize capital protection and steady growth over thrill-seeking. Many are entrepreneurs and real-estate owners. Chris doesn't manage client money directly; instead, subscribers can mirror his allocations via alerts. The team is distributed (operations, support, education) with daily videos and mentoring to keep members informed without complexity.Results and resources: since the 2007–08 peak, Chris cites ~14.3% average annual returns with a max drawdown under 6%, compared with far larger declines for buy-and-hold benchmarks during crises. He trades instruments like SPY, QQQ, and TLT, and often sits in interest-bearing cash ~40% of the year when conditions aren't favorable. He's written two books—Technical Trading Mastery and Asset Revesting—the latter outlining the “own what's rising; hold cash when nothing is” approach. Subscriptions run about $2,500/year and include a members area, mobile alerts, daily market videos, and twice-monthly live mentoring.Takeaways• Smart investing isn't just about growing wealth — it's about protecting what you already have, especially in bear markets.• Move away from declining positions instead of hoping they recover — that mistake ruins portfolios.• Spreading money across similar assets like stocks and bonds won't save you if they crash together.• Rather than reacting to news, focus on price trends that show where money is really flowing.• Like surfing — wait for the right wave, ride it strong, then step off when it weakens. • Tracking where money flows between assets helps spot fear or greed before big moves.• Own what's rising, shift to cash when nothing is — earn interest while waiting for better setups.• Level-headed investors know chasing quick gains usually leads to losses.• Steady discipline with low drawdowns outperforms risky, high-chase strategies.• Don't wait for a crash to act — prepare early to protect and grow your wealth.Soundbites• Don't hold assets that are going down. • When the tide rises, all boats go up — but you need to know when it's going out.• Technical analysis isn't about predicting; it's about reacting intelligently.• It's not about making 50% a year — it's about never losing 50% in one.Listen & Subscribe for More:

Namaskar Bandhu!

I've heard it described as playing a Stephen King novel, and I couldn't agree more.The game goes as far as to have you play AS a writer (Alan Wake), and while you don't write anything yourself, you stumble through a horror movie set in a novel, finding pages of a manuscript that keep the plot moving as you fight enemies with guns or flashlights. Or should I say guns AND flashlights. Combat isn't its strong suit, but Alan Wake tells a HELL of a story.The Al to my Barry, ye olde Bradley McCue, joins me on the show this week. He was as stoked to jump into this game as I was, and now that we're both done our first playthrough, we have a lot to say about this one. The entire game is 100% story focused, so if you've read this far (does anyone read these?), know that spoilers are incoming.And before we wake Alan, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week we talk the indie game Ball X Pit, the best games to play while high, and will we ever see Sega Saturn or Dreamcast games on Nintendo Switch Online?Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One'!!

Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode with Austin Brittenham of 2nd Chair:* AI is Transforming Legal Workflows and the Billable HourAI tools like 2nd Chair are changing how legal work is performed, reducing the need for billable hours and enabling lawyers to work more efficiently. This shift challenges the traditional billable hour model and encourages new business models in law.* Access to Justice and the Latent Legal MarketThere is a huge unmet demand for legal services—most people with legal needs never consult a lawyer. AI-powered tools and new pricing models can help lawyers serve this “latent legal market,” expanding access to justice and creating new revenue opportunities.* Differentiation in Legal AI: Engineering and User Experience2nd Chair differentiates itself from competitors by building custom solutions for parsing legal documents and providing AI with citations, making it more reliable and useful for lawyers. Transparent, simple subscription pricing is also a key part of their appeal.* The Evolving Role of LawyersAI is automating much of the routine, document-heavy work that has dominated legal practice since the rise of the billable hour. This is pushing lawyers back toward their traditional roles as counselors, advisors, and advocates, focusing on higher-value tasks that require human judgment.* Changing Consumer Expectations and Legal Service DeliveryClients are increasingly using AI tools themselves before consulting lawyers, which changes their expectations for speed, cost, and value. Lawyers need to adapt by leveraging AI to deliver faster, more cost-effective, and higher-quality services, while maintaining the human accountability clients still demand.__________________________Learn more about 2nd Chair.Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.Here's a link to purchase lifetime access to the recordings of My Shingle's AI Teach-In if you couldn't make it live.I've partnered with Pii to make it easy for you to purchase the hardware I use in my law firm: (1) Studio Setup; (2) Midrange Setup; (3) Highrange Setup.Get Connected with SixFifty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gavel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an automation platform for law firms.Check out my other show, the Law for Kids Podcast.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Law Subscribed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to subscribe to the weekly newsletter to listen from your web browser.Prefer monthly updates?

I couldn't put it down and now I get why so many say it set the bar for remakes all those years ago.The OG Resident Evil is one of the most important (and fun) games ever made IMO, and Remake improves on practically every aspect of it. INCREDIBLE graphics, better controls, slightly less cheesy voice acting, and more. It takes all the ingredients in a great bowl of soup and someone makes them even greater. I don't know if I'd call this the place for newcomers to the series to start because of the tank controls, but I think it's an absolutely must-play for horror fans and one of the best in the series.RTG's resident evil, my buddy Patrick, is my guest this week. We have different opinions on some entries in the Resident Evil series, but we both agree this remake is top shelf. One of us doesn't care for the mansion setting though, and the other thinks that's crazy.And before we kill zombies, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week someone asks what Nintendo needs to do to stop being a villain?

This week, Monika turns the spotlight on a silent financial burden many carry — not bad investments, but chaos. After years of conversations and examining real money lives, she observes that it is not low returns that do the most damage; it is clutter — too many accounts, scattered assets, forgotten subscriptions, and decisions made only to save tax. She shares the story of someone who bought faraway properties just to avoid capital gains tax, only to be trapped in years of maintenance, legal risk, and stress. A simple tax payment and a clean investment could have cost far less. It's a reminder that financial tidiness is not frugality — it is clarity and peace.Monika walks through the common clutter that silently erodes wealth: multiple bank accounts with no defined purpose, excessive credit cards increasing the risk of missed repayments, auto-renewing subscriptions eating into monthly budgets, and multiple investment platforms that fragment portfolios. She warns against buying assets only for tax breaks or collecting funds without strategy. This “confusion tax” — paid in stress, oversight, and poor decisions — is rarely acknowledged but deeply felt. A clean money box, she argues, does not just save time; it restores control.In listener questions, T. P. Singh, aged 55, seeks resources to decide the right allocation between fixed deposits and equity while already owning property and having no loans. Anonymous, a 52-year-old from the IT industry, asks whether selling his house to clear a heavy EMI is wiser as retirement nears and future job security is uncertain. Nikilesh K wants guidance on finding a disciplined investment vehicle with commitment like an insurance plan, but without the rigid lock-ins, to prevent impulsive withdrawals.Chapters:(00:00–00:00) The Real Cost of Financial Clutter(00:00–00:00) Decluttering Bank Accounts, Cards & Subscriptions(00:00–00:00) Simplifying Investments and Real Estate Decisions(00:00–00:00) Allocating Assets Safely in Retirement(00:00–00:00) Preparing for Retirement Under PressureIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠@MonikaHalan⁠Production House: ⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠Production Assistant:⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠

Some news outlets insist that London is a city in crisis—but who profits from that message?On the first anniversary of the launch of London Centric, its founder and owner Jim Waterson joins Alan and Lionel to talk about the new London-focused publication.Within four months of launching the newsletter, the news outlet hit its three-year targets. Jim unpacks this wild success, what makes his approach different, and what he chooses to cover. He also talks about the challenges facing local journalism, and why he doesn't rely on clicks to tell stories.The three also discuss the recent backlash against Substack, and who benefits from the narratives about London “going to the dogs”.

Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode with Sateesh Nori of Just-Tech, LLC:* AI and Technology Are Transforming Legal ServicesThe legal profession is undergoing a major shift as AI tools like RAG bots (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and platforms such as Paxton are making legal information and services more accessible, efficient, and affordable. These technologies can help lawyers serve more clients at scale and reduce overhead.* The Billable Hour Model Is Outdated and RestrictiveThe traditional billable hour model limits access to justice, incentivizes inefficiency, and perpetuates a pyramid scheme within law firms. Alternative fee arrangements, especially subscription models, empower lawyers to focus on value and client outcomes rather than time spent.* Access to Justice Remains a Critical ChallengeA vast majority of Americans' legal needs go unmet each year due to high costs and systemic barriers. Technology and new business models can help bridge this gap, allowing lawyers to serve the “latent legal market” and provide affordable legal help to more people.* Legal Education and Professional Culture Need ReformLaw schools and the broader legal culture are slow to adapt to technological change and alternative business models. There's a need for legal education to teach technology, business skills, and new ways of delivering legal services, rather than focusing solely on traditional paths.* Actionable Legal Information vs. Legal AdviceThe line between legal information and legal advice is blurry and often protectionist. AI tools can provide actionable legal information at scale, but regulatory frameworks need to evolve to allow innovation while protecting consumers. Lawyers should embrace these tools to remain competitive and relevant.__________________________Learn more about Just-Tech, LLC.Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.Here's a link to purchase lifetime access to the recordings of My Shingle's AI Teach-In if you couldn't make it live.I've partnered with Pii to make it easy for you to purchase the hardware I use in my law firm: (1) Studio Setup; (2) Midrange Setup; (3) Highrange Setup.Get Connected with SixFifty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gavel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an automation platform for law firms.Check out my other show, the Law for Kids Podcast.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Law Subscribed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to subscribe to the weekly newsletter to listen from your web browser.Prefer monthly updates?

I FINALY played this one for the first time and damned if it isn't the most impressive video game I've ever played.I didn't love Vice City back in the day and kinda checked out from the GTA series after that. But hosting this show got me to play San Andreas, GTA IV, and now GTA V, and with each entry I like the series more and more. IV and San Andreas are fun, but V takes it to a whole new level. Michael, Trevor, and Franklin are awesome, the missions are entertaining, the story is interesting, and the world of this game is just, I know I keep saying it, impressive!Our GTA guy, Andre, joins me this week to break down the story mode of Grand Theft Auto V. We spoil everything, get into the quest for The Big One, talk about our favourite plot points and side missions, and heap as much praise as we could squeeze into a 75 minute review onto GTA V this week. A rare-perfect score is in contention on this episode.And before we theft autos, I put together another (super-sized) edition of the Infamous Intro!This week we talk about the crazy number of remakes and remastered we're getting these days. Did I score Mario kart World too high when I reviewed it?? And what 5 games do I consider 'must buys' from the last couple years??Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Rockstar games: Red Dead Revolver, Bully, and Manhunt.Thanks for getting us to 350!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

But for those of you that have been waiting patiently for a FE episode, I think the wait was worth it, because I love this series and I'm ready to start handing out some flowers.The Blazing Blade was the first Fire Emblem game to find its way across the pond and onto the GBA, and while it may be a *little* archaic compared to modern titles like Three Houses, it's still as good as tactical RPGs get. You control an army of soldiers through various chapters like playing a digital board game, and with the permadeath options waiting for you to make a mistake and a decent story to drive the game forward, I'd argue this is the best bang for your GBA buck outside of Pokemon.Resident RPG nerd Keegs makes his return to the show this week and we spent over an hour working though Fire Emblem. We talked story while avoiding major plot points so you can play the game untarnished if you want to, take a dive into our favourite (and least favourite) party members, and basically just sing the praises of the Fire Emblem series as a whole. And before we blaze blades, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week we talk about what kind of console I'd design if I had infinite money. I get into some details on my upcoming Extra-Life charity stream. And where do I stand on using walkthroughs while playing games?Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Fire Emblem games: Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance, and Awakening.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I recently played the Pixel Remaster version for the first time, so I wanted to give Cecil and friends another round of RTG.I don't disagree with anyone that says Final Fantasy VI is the superior game, but IV isn't without its charm. I love the characters, betrayals, and combat system, and personally I like the linear party management of this one better to future entries where you can mix and match as you please. It's really wild to see how far JRPGs have come since Golbez's started robbing jewelry stores, and I think FF IV deserves its flowers for helping the series evolve from its basic NES counterparts.Captain N of the Retrotopia podcast joins me this week and we both geeked out pretty hard over this game. A couple dungeons (Dark Elf) and characters (Spoony Bard) got under our skin, but at the end of the day I think we agree that this is a must-play for fans of the genre, and a great place for someone new to Final Fantasy to get their feet wet. And before we argue with Tellah, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week, someone asks what the next big trend in gaming is going to be? What Mario moment blew my mind the most as a kid? And where doI stand on silent protagonists in games?Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Final Fantasy legends: Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy IX, and Final Fantasy X.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I've had many people tell me that the sequel is a completely different game from the first, but that didn't stop me from wanting to give it a shot. Unfortunately, the new gameplay didn't really connect with me. I loved the first game's roguelike mechanic, but this one went more in the direction of side scroller, and while it's gorgeous to look at and the dialogue is charming as hell, it's just not that fun to play.My buddy David Rae makes his return to the show this week, and while he grew up playing this one, he's not sure if he liked it because it was a good game, or because it was the game he rented for the weekend as a kid. We don't go full 'Ecco the Dolphin' or anything this week, but the illusive Perfect Score isn't making an appearance either.And before we panic funkingly, I deliver another edition of the Infamous Intro!This week, someone asks if the price of a game should play a role in GOTY voting? Will games today be as valuable as classic retro games are in 30 years?
