The Incredible History Of Nintendo W/  Acquired  | State of the Arc Podcast

The resurrection of the genius is chapter 3 of Terranigma. Genius can mean several things, and we go with more of the old Greek reading of that word. Chapter 3 is the longest and most fun chapter of the game. Also, a heads up, Casen's jaw was giving him all sorts of trouble so if he's stretching it out a lot, mercilessly tease him in the comments.

Suikoden HD Remaster Review | Worth Playing In 2025?

Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey isn’t just a sci-fi classic—it’s a cinematic milestone that changed the language of film. In this video, we break down the film’s mysterious symbolism, groundbreaking visuals, and philosophical questions about evolution, technology, and humanity’s place in the universe.

Whether you’re a film buff, a philosophy nerd, or a JRPG fan who spotted the Xenogears influence a mile away, this deep dive is for you!

Kubrick’s Mind-Bending Masterpiece, Explained  2001 A Space Odyssey  State of the Arc Podcast

In its opening moments, Suikoden II plunges you into a war-torn world where childhood friendships are shattered and impossible choices must be made. Underscored by Miki Higashino’s masterful soundtrack, it promises a journey filled with heartbreak, betrayal, and a desperate struggle for peace.
This isn’t just another retro RPG — it’s a deeply personal tale about the cost of conflict, the bonds that define us, and the tragic paths we walk in the name of power. Suikoden II’s emotional weight and unforgettable characters have cemented its place in the rich history of the PlayStation library. Today, we dive into what makes this classic resonate so deeply, even 26 years later.

Vivi Finally Gets ANGRY | FF9 Analysis

Gear up for this SPOILER filled review of Death Stranding 2! Guitar battles and dance routines make this game a hard one to pin down, but when dealing with Hideo Kojima, it's usually best to leave all your preconceived motions at the door (as much as you can, I suppose).

Death Stranding 2 Review [SPOILERS]

Princess Garnet has been locked up everywhere she has gone, and doesn't feel like she has much control over her life. That may be about to change. Through the ritual of cutting her hair, she is freeing herself to become the person she needs to be in order to rule as queen. We go from Kuja's prison, through Oeilvert through to the point at which we can finally fly in an airship! This is Final Fantasy IX at its peak.
