The Lifecast

Persona 5, Shadows of Valentia, Revelations, and Candies | Ep.65

Greg and Adam continue their trudge through Persona 5— and Adam finishes it. Sydney and Greg keep playing through Fire Emblem games: Shadows of Valentia for Greg and Revelations for Sydney. And Deanna, despite running a video game podcast, didn’t play any new games. We also decide what candies we’d be. Some of us have an easier time of it than others.

Our E3 predictions will be the topic of next week’s podcast. E3 coverage will start at 3PM EST on June 13, after Nintendo’s Special Direct. It’s going to be an all-afternoon stream picking apart what we liked and what we didn’t about each conference. Our full streaming schedule can be found on Twitter and Facebook, and is also the offline image on our Twitch channel.

 

Recorded live on May 30, 2017.

We accept questions for the podcast constantly on our site, through Discord, and if you email questions@thelifecast.net.

Our First Twitch Talk Show | Ep.64

We venture out into Twitch talk show territory and have a good time with it. Greg discusses Shadows of Valencia, Deanna played through The Sexy Brutale, Chris struggles more with Kingdom Hearts, and Dan gets way too into Voez and LOVE LIVE.

Ask Memes and not much else. | Ep.63

Chris leads us in with a short ad, and we roll right into what we’ve been playing, since it’s not much, we go through an ask meme for about 50 minutes. Featuring announcements of upcoming content!

Fourth Walls, Fandom, Persona 5 (Again), and Pulp Fiction | Ep.62

We start out by reading names that Dave gave Deanna’s Pokemon in Pokemon Go, and then move into naming Kennedy’s ska band.

Further than that, Deanna complains about her relatively recent medical mishaps.

Deanna’s been cracking down on Animal Crossing on steroids, or otherwise known as Stardew Valley. Also, she smacks down all the Tom Nook hate.

Kennedy discusses the nuances of having a Gamecube when all your friends have PS2, and what a struggle it was as a kid. In terms of today, she beat Thimbleweed Park (which we’ll have an in-depth episode about sometime in the future) and What Remains of Edith Finch.

We have a short discussion about Undertale’s brilliant use of fourth-wall breaks and how fandom really just ruins things for a large portion of people.

Adam mulls over how Persona 5 started feeling like a bit of a chore, taking us into a short discussion on criticisms and how saying something is part of a series isn’t a valid one sometimes.

Colin talks about how he’s been revisiting Dragon Quest and doing a bit of writing, in the spare time when he’s not working his Real Adult Job.


Thank you to everyone who sent in questions this week! Since we’re getting so many, we are going to start picking out just a few each week to answer. We’re seriously so humbled by all of you, and we can’t thank you enough for all your enthusiasm.

We aggregate everything on thelifecast.net! We have Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and a Discord server. We’re always taking questions through the ask box on our website and in our Discord server, so you don’t have to wait ‘til recording time to ask!

We did a collaborative episode with The Gamer Stand podcast, and thank you again for having us on!

Lastly, if you’re able to do so, give us a rating on iTunes. It’s something that would help our show a lot and we’d be immensely grateful.

Stardew Valley, Bloodborne, osu!, and Thimbleweed Park | Ep.61

This week we revisit some old gaming flings, and take on some new ones! Deanna revisits Stardew Valley and Bloodborne, Pat talks about Thimbleweed Park, and Derek compares Player Unknown Battlegrounds to another game that’s already been through its run and talks about osu!. As a welcome improvement, Tiffany mixes our audio live.

The episode where we recapped our Game of the Year episodes is here.

Thank you to Sydney, Colin, Damian, Wasabi, and Dave for your questions!

If you do wanna do us a huge favor, rate us on iTunes, follow us on Twitter, and like us on Facebook. We have YouTube, and a Discord server, and we stream at least once a week on Twitch. Thank you all so much for listening!

PAX Games, School Trips, Whimsy, and Pet Care | Ep.55

“I’m gay for friendship!” “A fucking wasteland of mediocrity and disappointment.”

 

Please note that we don’t really start talking about video games until fifteen minutes in. These timestamps are here to help! It’s also a long podcast this week.
