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!

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.

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!

This week, we tackle Persona 5 and Fire Emblem.

This week, we discuss the substories in Yakuza 0, granny shorts, Persona 5, and the recent decision surrounding Atlus’ streaming ban on Persona 5 after a certain point. Oddly enough, Sega made the same decision with Puyo Puyo Tetris.
Slight spoilers for Yakuza 0’s substories (around 12 minutes) and Persona 5 in this one!
Thank you to Sydney and Colin for our questions this week.

“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.

This week, we bring you a longer podcast about the Nintendo Switch, a good chunk of in-depth Zelda: Breath of the Wild critique, some words about Into the Woods, a dash of Nioh, some discussion about the one and only 2B of Nier: Automata, and Kennedy with one particularly inspired conspiracy theory about puberty. You’ve been warned. Buckle up.
We’ll be at PAX East this weekend, doing some coverage of stuff we like and roaming the show floor. Heading to panels. All that jazz. If you notice us, stop and say hi! We’ll probably break down with gratitude. Stay tuned for our upcoming features! A lot of them will be video features posted on our Youtube channel.
