These two episodes were originally planned to be one, but we suffered from some ill timed technical difficulties. So we released what was the first part, and then recorded the next episode with Rufusman!

First up: Dragon Quest. I love JRPG's. I get that it's a genre that has never been extremely huge here in the west, and only occasionally does a game get a lot of buzz and recognition, most recently Persona 5, but Final Fantasy 15, 10, and 7 in the past. Kingdom Hearts as well (which is an action JRPG). The Dragon Quest games are great though, and if you have a 3DS then I highly recommend you pick up Dragon Quests IV - IX. It's probably about 500 to 600 hundred hours easily of entertainment between all six games.

John chat's a bit about the Santa Clarita Diet, a dark horror comedy that is available to stream on Netflix. John touches on something he's touched on in the past a bit, and that is comedy, and how it's changed for the worse in many ways. We will eventually be doing an entire episode about that with many examples, but until then check out this show. It's one that I personally haven't watched, but if I like it, we may end up chatting about it soon here on the podcast. 

And of course Far Cry 5. There's been some controversy with the game and the message it's trying to portray. Or not portray. The game does sound fun though. Regardless of the plot. I really want the dog, the cougar and the diabetic bear as my best friends. I bet you do too.

And here we are! An interview with Rufusman! Rufus' Kickstarter is still going on for a few more days. I apologize about the audio with this one. It was rough and we had a number of technical issues capturing it. Some of the audio was edited for clarity. Rufus is fun to talk to, and John and I may be working (together or even separately) with him in the future. If you can support his Kickstarter. There's a couple of great comics, including Yahvi that was inspired by Rufus' daughter and is written for kids.

As big gamers and fans of the comics it's no suprise that John and I would be interested in a game based off of Chew. Check out this review for the game from Board Game Brawl.

John and I have a long rambling conversation about the comic Chew. It's not for the faint of heart, the comic that is, not our conversation.

For the uninitiated Chew is a comic by John Layman and Rob Guillory about an FDA agent Tony Chu who is a cibopathic, which means he has the ability to see the past of anything he eats. The comic is full of cannibalism, people with strange food powers, alien fruit that tastes like chicken and a fighting rooster named POYO!

The movie is in the works and David Tennant has been confirmed to play Mason Savoy.
