| Diablo 3 may be hitting beta this year, WoW may be changing to mini-expansions, and PSN may come up this month. We've got more coverage than just things that always get delayed, though. For example, a new game about the racial tensions between Orcs and Humans. |
Discuss |
| Too Human is back from the dead but PSN hasn't managed to pull that off yet. The Wii successor may be setting itself up for storage related fail, and Bioware is delaying two games into 2012. In the end, at least Play for Japan did well. |
Discuss |
| PSN is still down and Chris has to turn to old games he had long left behind for solace. But lo, there is hope in the form of Shawn "Lusipurr" Cooper, who returns to bring light and cheer to these dark times. Anyone up for buying a new Sony tablet? |
Discuss |
| What appeals more to you, an alpaca or an action figure? Perhaps you've been waiting to play a strategy RPG version of your favorite MMO? Ah, I know. You've been so excited about the upcoming Colosto-Wii that you've been looking for some concept art for it. Well we have you covered. |

| RPGamer begins plans to launch its dream RPG console. Listen for details on you can help out. Also we've got the latest on Capcom's new Dragon themed game, Disgaea 4 pre-order bonsues, and Pokémon's new Global Link site. |
Discuss |
| We learn about Taco Bell meat, Fezzes, and how to solve problems. As part of that, RPGamer gives the definitive solution for tablet gaming. Then, it gets real as Sony talks about babysitting and Gamestop buys Impulse. |
Discuss |
| It's a very special RPGCast today. First off, we've got a report from the latest Insomniac community day. Manny helps us decipher In-n-Out's secret menu. Finally, Anna teaches us about a charity Pokémon Patchwork Gym effort to raise money for Japan. |
Discuss |
| Diablo with body parts, iOS ports of bad games, and cool video game auctions make up the brunt of today's show. Random Encounters is back too, rounding out the week's festivities. |
Discuss |
| This week, Anna Marie is scared of Aya Brea. Then we see Free Realms pretend to be free. Finally, Cthulu Saves the World gets the best subtitle ever. Also, go donate to Japan. |

| Michael Cunningham joins us this week as we chat about Pokémon, Dragon Age II, and Torchlight on XBLA. Michael also shares his experiences with Kingdoms of Amalur. Finally, Michael and Chris commiserate about the prospects of White Knights Chronicles II. |
Discuss |
| Torchlight conquers your console gaming time. RPGamers pimp their sexiest character nominations. Finally, Magicka napalms its way to our hearts with its new expansion. |
Discuss |
| Zelda is 25 years old, but we still have to call a spade a spade. Dragon Age II has two buggy releases this week, but Sting gives us hope with a new title announcement. |
Discuss |
| Dragon Age II is getting close to release and they've got the PR stunts to prove it. Saiyuki is attempting to journey into Western culture once again. Sony reveals the PlayStation phone, but does anyone care? |

| Blizzard announces two games come out this year, unless they do not. RPGamer announces you'll like Two Worlds II, unless you do not. And finally, Nintendo announces the next main Pokémon game will be on 3DS, unless it isn't. |
Discuss |
| It's a week of release dates and pre-order bonuses. But we've also got some interesting statements from EA about The Old Republic. Sony may also be spicing up the NGP's appeal with a way to play UMDs. |
Discuss |
| The details of both next generation handhelds are out there. Which will you be getting? We debate the merits of both while trying to figure out other important issues like exactly what Atlus is bringing over to the 360. |
Discuss |
| Nintendo and Square Enix flood us with announcements this week. We have to try to figure out what's most interesting: a bland launch list, a teaser trailer with no gameplay, or a game with no release date. |
Discuss |
| A short news week leads to a lot of wondering about what Nintendo's thinking with its new system's battery life. But don't despair, RPGs are still in the mix as we have a ton of details about Skyrim and then try to figure out Oblivion's leveling system. |
Discuss |
| This special episode of the RPGCast gathers together the people who played all the games this year to answer the question, "What was best?" You'll also get to hear why Michael loves Sega so much. |
Discuss |
| Mikel takes a break from enslaving young goats to capture Pokémon for him in order to join us for the first RPGCast of the year. Torchlight, Cthulu, and even a new D&D; game show up this to welcome us into 2011. |
Discuss |
| We give you the bait and switch about a popular RPG coming to the PSN. Phil Willis also comes back from a long hiatus, just in time to give his expert opinion on Square Enix's financial prospects. But don't worry, the future is looking bright as the wraps have been taken off of a number of 2011 games. |
Discuss |
| Pan media sensation Jackie Chan headlines this week's fantastic podcast. We also have the premiere of Roy "Rosestorm" Burnet, who helps us delve into such amazing issues as PlayStation Quests. It's also a big week for MMOs with Blizzard launching a new expansion and Square turning over all the leaders of the FFXIV team. |
Discuss |
| While the creepy chocobo watched all the live stream viewers, we discussed NISA and Imageepoch, Infinity Blade and iPhone, and Ni no Kuni and large books. The real show stealer, of course, is the Harvest Moon news. You'll be blown away. |
Discuss |
| The JRPG makes a triumphant return? Nintendo is starting up its own gaming event again? Inazuma Eleven is showing up in English? Nothing makes sense this week. |
Discuss |
| Spike reveals the VGA nominees and we've got the expert analysis...oh who are we kidding, they suck. You're better off just paying attention to the awesome The Witcher 2 collector's edition details. |
Discuss |
| It's a slow news week so we have to resort to Playstation Home to bring us some entertainment. But don't worry, Glenn comes on one hour in, so make sure to fast forward to that part. |
Discuss |
| Yu Suzuki continues to torment us, Aksys wants give us more naughty Agarest Wars, and Tactics Ogre scores well in Japan. Then we learn Quin's secret kryptonite. Hint: it's Ys-y to do. |
Discuss |
| Innocent Sin, a PlayStation Phone, and a game about personified game consoles may top the list of stuff we didn't expect to ever see. We've also the Extra Life drawing winners and some thing called Blizzcon? |
Discuss |
| This week we have an update on the Extra Life totals, a recommendation for scary RPGs to play, and some news from Blizzcon. Then we go spend some quid at Game. |
Discuss |
| Listen to the Extra Life 2010 edition of RPGCast and you get to hear Chris's epic battle against Dr. Eggman. But if you just want the news, we've got that too. How do signature editions, Tenacious D, FFXIV, and Pirates of the Carribean sound? |
Discuss |
| RPGCast really gets into the thick of it this week. We debate the merits of a FFVII remake, the merits of physical vs. virtual, and the merits of turning into a sheep to fight enemies. Also we've only one week left until Extra Life, get those donations in! |
Discuss |
| Nintendo opens the Kimono on 3DS launch details, Tales of the Abyss and Planescape Torment are back, Fable III has Stephen Fry, and Kirby shows off his Epic Wii. And remember, it's only two weeks till Extra Life, get those donations in. |
Discuss |
| Americans are apparently too busy to notice the great things going on around them. So we point out some of the things they may be missing like GOG's hoax, 3DS's specs, Milo's sacking, Nomura's game announcements, and PC digital download sales. |

Foxworth, JCServant, Paws, Risingsuntzu, Sabin1001 |
| RPGamer was at PAX and we tell you everything we saw and loved. We also get into the week's news which seems to be dedicated to games Anna cares about. And to wrap it all up, Sarah Williams has an interview with Tony Oliver, voice director of the US voices of games like Magna Carta 2. |
Discuss |
| Cryptic is giving us another chance to venture into the world of NeverWinter. Meanwhile, Square Enix is confusing the entire internet again. The biggest story of all is that Manny is getting his teeth pulled. These exclusives and more on this week's RPGCast. |
Discuss |
| Bioware reveals the name of the Jedi newspaper, Tactics Ogre continues talk about its upcoming game show, and Peter Molyeneux is adding DLC to books. One of those is real, I leave it as an excercise to you to figure out which. |
Discuss |
| We've got another week of RPGCast awesomeness for you all to take to your mommas. Nothing makes sense when Square Enix makes social RPGs, Pokémon in musicals, and Odo and Wayne Newton star in a Fallout game. Beware the Zabrak! |
Discuss |
| Cataclysm impressions, Dragon Quest IX multiplayer, and Mortal Kombat highlight this week's show. Mikel also gives you his Pokémon trading rant. |
Discuss |
| RPGCast finally jumps the shark when Anna recommends hidden object games. Starcraft II also makes large inroads in the conversation. But don't worry, we also have a long discussion on the history of Shin Megami Tensei games, in order to preserve our street cred. |
Discuss |
| Phil tells about why his mad skills are too much for Dragon Quest IX to handle. Lee Gordon joins us once again and let's us know how good PSN's PSX classics are in Europe. Finally, Square Enix had some sort of announcement about Ogres. |
Discuss |
| Dragon Quest IX is here! We talk all about its lack of gambling options as well as the NIS America press event. In addition, Cavia, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Dragon Age make the headlines this week. |
Discuss |
| We try not to fight about iPhones, Androids, and solo MMORPG content, but we fail. It's okay because Ni No Kuni is coming out here! There's also some Dragon Quest game coming out tomorrow. |
Discuss |
| It sounds like Manny didn't exactly fit into Anime Expo. It sounds like Mikel and Chris didn't really jive with Puzzle Quest. It also sounds like Canada is attempting to invade the RPGCast again. But don't worry, at least Nintendo is sending out free figurines. |
Discuss |
| Mikel and Chris play through the new Puzzle Quest 2 demo. Get a drink and play along through the demo to add to their commentary to your experience. |
Discuss |
| We have some special guests this week as we cover a deluge of news while trying to finish in time to blow our vuvuzelas. Aya Brea's health issues, digital copies of Sora, and the Deathspank hotline are just a few of the strange topics we touch this week. |

Discuss |
| Reviews from iTunes, disappointing games, and E3 predictions make up the meat of this show. Mmm...meat. I'm hungry, time for a sandwich. |
Discuss |
| The podcast learns what a hipster is. The Witcher 2 teaches us how to appreciate our women better. And Glenn shows us the truth about Alpha Protocol reviews. |
Discuss |
| We learn more about the day to day life of Team Rocket. We figure out how Star Ocean works. We even figure out what makes a collector's edition good. So much learning, it should be a G.I. Joe special. |

| This week is heavy on the Pokemon as Team Rocket calls in, the cast makes their picks for new favorite starter Pokemon, and Mikel orders a $200 Pokéwalker cover. Glenn also gives his reviews of Shiren and Mimana Iyar while the casts consoles him with hopes that one day he'll get to review a good game. |
Discuss |
| What do Bumpy Trots, posses, Monster Hunters, and Gackt all have in common? They are what we talk about this week. Well that and Mass Effect DLC. You can never have enough $2 weapons for your Mass Effect character, that's what my grandpa always said. |
Discuss |
| RPGamer shows you its poker face...not really. But we do show the love to Kirby, Castlevania, and Persona. Also, Moo cow. |
Discuss |
| Breath of Death VII developer, Robert Boyd, joins us today to discuss his recent Xbox Indie hit. You can also hear as the panel gets addicted to Lord of Ultima (share your usernames in the thread and join our alliance). |
Discuss |
| Ya! Come watch my new radio show! I have excellent coverage with the Demon's Souls, the Infinite Space, and the sausage. Get to the podcast! |
Discuss |
| Pokémon and skirts and horga'hn sum up the panel's goals today. Phil also returns to the show and proves that it really doesn't matter if you're Black or White, just don't try to sing the song. |
Discuss |
| Chris gets distracted by his new iPad (*drink*), Anna is distracted by her roommate's Ditto, Nyx is distracted by her insignificant other, and Manny is wondering why he bothers. |
Discuss |
| Atlus downloads a bad CD from torrent, BioWare decides to develop Mass Effect 3, and Nintendo figures that this handheld business may be worth pursuing with a new portable. Or I may have made all that up. |
Discuss |
| Gotta listen to 'em all! We all gain levels in our pokewalkers while discussing the new Pokémon releases. Mikel gives us the scoop on his new game and Reggie gives us some interesting quotes regarding PlayStation Move. |
Discuss |
| It's a small panel but a big podcast! Final Fantasy dropped this week and it's obvious because it took over our feedback, news, and picks for the week. We go in depth with our impressions but try to lay off the spoilers. |

| Glenn Wilson is on to discuss Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. Sony had its own strangeness this week. And even Valve got into strange fun with its images hinting at Steam coming out on the Mac. |
Discuss |
| Puffy, Finny, and Prinny all get into the cast this week. Perhaps they all wanted to celebrate the upcoming Level 5 US branch, or perhaps they just want a Nanaimo bar. |
Discuss |
| Did you know you can get free release date shipping for games you buy on Amazon.com? Go there now to to preorder your copy of Final Fantasy XIII and get a free $10 Video Games Credit. Order today! |
Discuss |
| Final thoughts on White Knight Chronicles, the recurring saga of Yakuza DLC, and a possible Demon's Souls sequel all should whet your appetite for this week's show. So sit down, take a load off, and prepare for a heaping helping of RPG. Pass the Fable III. |
Discuss |
| Monster Hunter and White Knight Chronicles have trouble proving their worth. We've also got a big wrap up of Mass Effect 1 and some in depth discussion of 2. Lastly, it wouldn't be an RPG podcast if we didn't have more news about the lack of a FFVII remake. |
Discuss |
| Wait 'til you hear about the pre-order bonuses we've got this week. We also have a bit more palatable Aion discussion and Chris's initial impressions of Mass Effect 2. |

Discuss |
| RPGamer welcomes you to the new year with open arms. News may be a bit sparse, but we do have hamburgers. Pass the ketchup. |
Discuss |
| We make the mistake of looking at the list of upcoming 3D movies. But we get back on course with special editions, mac releases, Nier cutbacks, and Final Fantasy betas. |
Discuss |
| WoW's got a new patch, Yakuza 3 is coming out here, Mass Effect 2 has Worf, and we're back on the air! Oh, you were happier with us not on the air? Okay, I'll just be over crying in the corner... |
Discuss |
| Big news for 3D Dot Game Heroes, Lufia, and Star Trek Online makes us happy. Gyromancer makes us sad. Then Philip offers inexpensive revenge. |
Discuss |
| Every episode of RPGCast is full of special features, but this one brings you an explanation of Star Trek's timeline, rehashes of stories from last week, and more Dragon Age content than you'd ever want. Only on RPGCast: The Collectors' Edition. |
Discuss |
| RPGamer somehow managed to stop playing Dragon Age long enough to do a podcast. We talk about Star Trek and Zelda and Sakura Wars but mostly just want to get back to winning Morrigan's heart. |

| This week Chris violates the terms of usage for his hat, Dungeons and Dragons gets the best port ever, and Mikel has a baby? |
Discuss |
| We recorded live during the Extra Life marathon. See if you can count how many times Chris dies in Demon's Souls. Also let us know how Mikel and Anna do as segment hosts--ah crap. I don't even have the game in my PS3 right now and I think I just died again. |

Clix, Firemyst, Kiro, Risingsuntzu, Noodle, Paws, Sabin1001 |
| Chris records a final podcast before his long absence. Everything's fair game and improvised in this live after dark on the edge full of modifier extravaganza. |
Discuss |
| Gamescom and Blizzcon mean a ton of news for you. We've also got several people bargaining for Anna's time. And of course no week would be complete without a Fallout 3 story. |
Discuss |
| To be honest, I don't even know what we talked about on this show. There was something regarding catgirls, some video games, and a giant arcade-card-action game mecha from Japan. |
Discuss |
| It seems everyone's playing Little King Story except Chris. He's too busy filing his bunion down. But the panel ignores him and brings you the latest on Valkyria, the iPhone, and the PS3. |
Discuss |
| We rag on PSX games, talk about good parts of bad games, and ease on down the RIZ-ZOAWD. Bah why am I wasting time writing this blurb when I could be posting the already late show for you all? |
Discuss |
| Manny gives us the skinny on all the great stuff RPGamer got to see at Run to the Sun this year. Who has the best food? Is Square Enix's lobby really filled with Japanese developers grilling hot dogs? Did Manny truly open the secret midnight portal into Atlus? Will RPGamer be allowed back next year? Find out on this week's RPGCast. |
Discuss |
| Kiro and Sabin talk monkeys while the rest of the crew plays their PSPs. Okay, so it isn't that bad, we do have another installment of Release Tracker as well as a bunch of NIS news. |
Discuss |
| The crew took some time out this Fourth of July in order to bring you their thoughts of Aion and Dragonica. They also react to the latest PS3 emulation rumors, Fable 3, and Sony's recent retcon. Beware the Dire Lamb. |
Discuss |
| MMO's have betas, FFVII had sales, companies had mergers, and Kiro's a girl. Then RPGamer was sued for not disclosing the hidden cost to your life from listening to RPGCast's bad jokes. |

Discuss |
| Anna, Mikel, and Chris recount their impressions and go through the news from this year's E3. Victor and newcomer Sarah come along for the ride and try to sell the audience on how awesome Final Fantasy XIV and Dragon Age will be, respectively. If you haven't yet, go watch Mikel's Kung Fu Fighting video on our E3 page. |
Discuss |
| Manny and Glenn join us this week as we seek to insult every racial group on the planet. In a less inflamatory segement, we have big news about Half-Minute Hero, Fragile, and the PSP Go. Then we get back to angering fanboys by making our E3 predictions and speculations. |
Discuss |
| We start out with an indepth look at the addictiveness of MMOs. Then Victor gives us his initial impressions of Free Realms. Finally, we react to the big news about Demon's Souls and Fallout 3. |
Discuss |
| This is a week of perplexing new announcements. A Lunar remake and Might and Magic puzzle game have us wondering. What's next, a Punch Out MMO? |
Discuss |
| We've got word of the new Nippon Ichi-Gust crossover game. Bioware also surprises nobody and announces troopers for its Star Wars MMO. And speaking of unsurprising, Bethesda releases another Fallout 3 add-on that doesn't work right. |
Discuss |
| Motorcyles in Fallout, plants with zombies, mysterious game images, and a show title that isn't from the episode should give you an idea of the lack of theme we have this week. Just check it out and see if you can figure out why Arcanum stole our webpage design. |
Discuss |
| Adriaan proposes the solution to all the issues with RPGamer reviews. Chris plays the same three games he always does. Hank Hill says, "Hi." Anna continues her PR campaign for Canadian game development. And finally, Mikel says everyone is an idiot and goes back to playing his favorite PSP game, Blade Dancer. |
Discuss |
| You'll have to answer the question of whether Chris's new mic equipment makes him sound less like a nerd. Adriaan den Ouden guest stars this week as we answer your four minute questions and debate ferret themed censoring. |
Discuss |
| Mikel marks the most significant progress he has ever made in an RPG. Meanwhile, Hellgate London is back in the news. I'm voting for the cat swords as the more profitable venture. |
Discuss |
| What RPGs did you get stuck in when playing? What didn't Anna play this week? Why is horse armor now the best deal ever on Xbox Live? Will The Pitt ever work? Where is this week's news? The answers to these questions and more on this week's RPGCast! |
Discuss |
| Impressions of The Last Remnant, a report from Midwest Gaming Classic, and a fan who appreciates Chris's beer recommendations make up this week's show. Don't forget the Zelda MEGATON from GDC. |
Discuss |
| We spoil Dragon Quest for you this week on RPGCast. We even get new content staffer Victor Balbian to help! Find out what he thinks about Crimson Gem Saga, Alpha Protocol, Valkyrian DLC, and way too many old PC RPGs. |

Discuss |
| Puzzle Quest Galactrix came out this week and we've got our in-depth impressions about it. Find out if it's worth picking up and then listen to the normal news round-up. FFXIII demo, FFIV The After Years, and Avalon Code news should keep you busy between leapgate hacking. |
Discuss |
| This week we've got tons of impressions, your worst boss battle moments, and Macstorm changing his shirt. Please suggest some new discussion topics in the forum thread. |
Discuss |
| RPGCast shares the love with new panel member Glenn Wilson. We've got your top five lists of worst RPGs and give some of our own. Glenn also takes us through his review of Dragon Quest V. By the way, if the podcast doesn't make it clear, you should play Yggdra Union. |
Discuss |
| Atlus has a deluge of news and announcements to drive our excitement way up. But then Bethesda, Blizzard, EA, Sega, and Square Enix put on the brakes to our good mood with a series of delays and cancelled plans. Oh well, at least we have Max's accent to pull us through. |
Discuss |
| Sam Marchello makes her podcast debut and regales us with tales of fantasy farming and fantastical accent worship. It also seems like the news drought is over with stories about Crystal Chronicles and the best Dragon Quest IX accessory ever. And if that wasn't enough, our Best of 2008 awards are out and we break them all down for you. |

A new RPG you can play in 30 seconds, FFXIII demo dates, and, best of all, more Megaman Starforce games are the top news items this week. |
Discuss |
| Mikel, Tom, and Chris sit around and talk about Prinny dessert sets, pouting princesses, and royal Koopa intestines. That's right, it's a distinguished beginning for our live streamed podcasts. |
Discuss |
| Just The Three Amigos today to give you what little news there is in the world of gaming and RPGs. A CES photo-rundown, Dragon Quest IX speculation, and a Final Fantasy XIII website are pretty much all we've got. Please, February, come and rescue us from this dearth of news. |

| Michael Cunningham joins us this week to make sure we actually have accurate information. Solid Snake may have also dropped by a few times, but it's so hard to tell with the Octo-Camo. Jump Festa news, FFXIII details, and an Epic Recently Played section round out the show. |
Discuss |
| Hopefully you won't be bored listening to Anna's impressions of Persona 4. If that doesn't do it we have a discussion about the validity of MMO talk on the podcast. Other than that though, all we have is a bunch of news about some series called "Dragon Quest," if you care for that sort of thing. |
Discuss |
| Sorry for the tardiness this week! It shan't happen again. Accept my apologies by finding out who won the World of Warcraft contest, my early impressions of Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online, and where Paws is working. |
Discuss |
| A shadow from the past makes a return all too soon as Lusipurr and Metaridley once again break into the RPGamer headquarters to bring you anything but RPG news. Chris really needs to keep his equipment under lock and key. Boing! |

November 15, 2008 |
Ethos, Firemyst, Metaridley, Paws, Sabin1001, Vortex566 |
| Ethan reveals himself as a true Britaku on this week's programme. This week's show really is the bee's knees as long time listener turned staffer Lee Gordon joins the panel. Highlights include Lee giving a dramatic reading and the Magic 8-Ball predicting whether Chris will finish his Valkyria Chronicles review. Also, Lee has an accent. |
Discuss |
| So, there was plenty of news this week, but most of it put Oliver to sleep and made Mikel want to quit. Not really sure why as we have plenty of good stuff like Valkyria Chronicles' DLC, three Shin Megami Tensei games, and some FFVI love for Dissidia. Plus, the great beer debate of Seattle vs. Wisconsin continues. |
Discuss |
| Now that Shawn's gone we can actually talk about Fable 2 freely without fear of getting fired. We've got impressions of that and Fallout 3 just for you. Then to wrap it all up, we've got what's either one of the most enterprising or depressing uses of an emulator ever. In my opinion, it should have said, "You're engaged! But you're still lonely." |
Discuss |
| Did you know Canada won't allow Ethan to drink Mountain Dew Code Red? It's true. Other things that are true include zombie plagues in World of Warcraft, bugs in Fable II, and upgraded Vista Solitaire graphics. |
Discuss |
| This week we say goodbye to Shawn "Lusipurr" Cooper as he leaves the podcast and the site to pursue his education. Our listeners have lots of good things to say about Shawn, Paul Koehler has lots of good things to say about TGS, and Shawn has lots of good things to say about Mother 3. We'll miss you, Shawn! |
Discuss |
| TGS is over and we take a look at the big announcements and game demos. Star Ocean, White Knight Chronicles, and The Last Remnant all caught our attention. Fable 2 would have none of it, however, and attempted to recapture our hearts as it responded to last week's criticisms. Pata Pata Poooon! |
Discuss |
| Get ready to hear the most heated argument over Dragon Quest IV's story that you'll find on the internet. But before that we cover DQIX's release window, news from the Nintendo press conference, and the sad news regarding Fable 2's Collector's Edition. Oh darn, they just cut the game disk from it too. |
Discuss |
| We explore when Winter 2008 actually starts in order to try to determine when we'll get to play A Witch's Tale. We also dissect the particulars of squad based combat as it pertains to The Last Remnant. And don't forget the news of Sega's 7th Dragon and Level-5's five new games. Mystical Get~! |
Discuss |
| Kingdom Hearts gets a new keychain, Suikoden DS gets details, and White Knight Story gets a release date. The panel, however, gets a ton of feedback from listeners in the first segment. See? We do care! |
Discuss |
| Our 50th episode is an extravaganza filled with 80s rap stars ordering breakfast from McDonalds in alternate timelines. A new Phantasy Star game, an enhanced version of The Witcher, and a new MegaTen game aren't enough to calm this craziness. Ethan even pops in to share his thoughts on the upcoming Dragon Quest IV for DS. There ain't no stopping this train, 50 more episodes to come. |
Discuss |
| But soft, what Magitek through yonder airship breaks? It's our first show after PAX, and we leave no game unturned. From Final Fantasy to Kingdom Hearts to Prinnies, no series escapes unscathed from our critical cynicism. Also, hear some of the stories of who we met at PAX. |
Discuss |
| Umbrellas. Tea cozies. Lint. Plywood sheeting. Landscapes. These are some of the most boring things in existence, but they cannot compare with the sheer boredom present in this supplemental RPGCast. Lusipurr and Metaridley host this exercise in tedium whilst Firemyst, Paws, and Sabin enjoy the wonders of PAX. Warning: Listeners may experience intense head pains and diminished intellect. Proceed with caution. |

Ethos, Firemyst, Lusipurr, Paws, Sabin1001 |
| We had to wait a couple days to record due to some scheduling issues and it has our clocks all screwed up. Before we get into the Delorian hear us talk about Suikoden DS, Ys on Wii, Vesperia DLC, and an FFXI item you can buy with real money. It's your kids, Marty! They're at PAX! |
Discuss |
| Did you know that the recorder was internet-enabled? Neither did Chris. The panel tackles the 18 hour fight in Final Fantasy XI, Dragon Quest IV, and the new Runic Games. Then Ethan unveals Lusipurr's Fountain of Perpetual Disappointment: The Game. |
Discuss |

Discuss |

Discuss |
| New Lost Odyssey content, Square Enix websites, and a potential US release for ASH make up the headlines this week. Also, another company has left the ESA, what could it mean? And how did Chris do in Hello Kitty Online? |

Firemyst, Lusipurr, Metaridley, Paws, Sabin1001 |
| The Run to the Sun coverage continues with Anna Marie and Mikel's impressions from Aksys. We also discuss RPGamer's first Jack Thompson letter. Hooray, we're all growed up. |
Discuss |
| We've got a special extra episode of the podcast this week. All our people out in Los Angeles are on the show to tell you about the latest games they've been seeing this week. |
Discuss |
| We talk about the new crossover RPG Cross Edge, the impending release of Penny Arcade's game, and a marvellous merger involving XSEED. Then we find out that we're all losers and someone else's website is better. It's a great podcast! |
Discuss |
| GTA IV did a good job killing most of the news this week, but we find a few things to talk about. Atlus has some disappointing delays, Diablo 3 might be coming soon, and Shawn Cooper has sold half his game collection. But if that's not enough we can always ramble on incessantly. |
Discuss |
| If you've been waiting to try Persona 3, you have no excuse now that FES is out. In addition we have impressions on the latest Pokémon title as well as some tales of woe from the Pirates of the Burning Sea economy. Yarr, what kind of Pokémon do ye be? |
Discuss |
| Everyone on the podcast is now playing a MMO, some have three, so naturally we cover a lot of MMO related items this week. But, we also have news about a FFIV followup and we delve into the mysteries of the ESRB ratings list. |

April 5, 2008 |
Firemyst, Lusipurr, Metaridley, Paws, Sabin1001 |
| Highlights of this illustrious episode include examining in-game advertising coming to a popular MMO as well as a very japanese DS game that we'll probably never get. We also configure a Dell World of Warcraft laptop on the air. |
Discuss |
| Atlus announcements, Crisis Core, and Jack Thompson make up the brunt of this week's show. Plus, someone sells a Miyamoto-signed Super Famicom. But all this pales to the fallout of Oliver's opinions of the Metroid series. |
Discuss |
| You asked for it and so we deliver. This episode starts with the panel playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl and here's a hint: Chris doesn't do too well. Finally, we go over the big news like Persona 4 and the Two Worlds sequel. |
Discuss |

Discuss |
| Shawn Cooper keeps us up to date on Super Smash Bros. Brawl's release date. Then the panel discusses whether Blizzard is good or bad for game genres and if western characters are too stereotyped. Disgaea news, Gygax respects, and a certain feline MMO round out the rest of the podcast. |
Discuss |

January 26, 2008 |
Firemyst, Lusipurr, Metaridley, Paws, Sabin1001 |
| Oliver Motok joins us for his first RPGCast this week. That means one thing, of course, there's not much RPG news so we hit Currents again. We get into the controversy over Mass Effect's sex scenes as well as the huge console sales of December. Also, you'll get to find out what game has gotten Shawn to not play much FFXI this week. |
Discuss |
| It's award time at RPGamer and RPGCast doesn't miss a chance at the fun. First up are big stories for games like the Sonic RPG and the Star Trek MMO. Then we go through the awards list and give our reactions and personal opinions about who came out on top. Over two hours of punditry, what else can you ask for? |
Discuss |
| We run out of RPG related news in twenty minutes. Thus, we take on the current gaming industry news in general, so that we have something to give you. We wouldn't want a lawsuit over not providing enough RPGCast. |
Discuss |
| We have a special guest! Jon-Enee Merriex from K2 Network joins us for this week's podcast. Jon is the Lead Game Master for Sword of the New World: Granado Espada, so we talk to him the upcoming expansion, Manifest Destiny. |

The festivities start with Atlus's new SRPG and Square Enix's upcoming releases. Shawn's glowing review of FFXI: Wings of the Goddess follows. Then comes an in-depth look at one of the more interesting review scales on the site as well as what we've been playing. See you in 2008. |
Discuss |
| Shawn Cooper, Anna Marie Neufeld, Mikel Tidwell, Jordan Jackson, and Chris Privitere are the panel this time. This week Square Enix raises our ire over a cellphone-only FFIV sequel, Blue Dragon gets an extra word, and Chris tries Culdcept Saga. We also find out that half the panel wants Pokémon Snap and that Shawn and Mikel really like FFXI. |
Discuss |
| Shawn Cooper, Michael Cunningham, Mikel Tidwell, Jordan Jackson, and Chris Privitere are on the panel this week, so we have a huge panel for you. We discuss waffle eating cats, game review theory in the wake of the Gamespot fiasco, and Final Fantasy VII. Oh and we discuss the week's news like the Blizzard merger. Jordan and Mikel also go in depth about their reviews of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Dragon Quest Monsters - Joker, respectively. |
Discuss |
| Anna Marie Neufeld, Mikel Tidwell, Jordan Jackson, and Chris Privitere conspire this week on the podcast. Tons of news after last week's drought. We cover unoriginal naming schemes, the correct way to pronounce "XF," and why anyone would want a Two Worlds expansion. We wrap it up with some Pokémon Snap, Mass Effect, and of course our ever popular MMO coverage. |
Discuss |
| Anna Marie Neufeld, Mikel Tidwell, Jordan Jackson, and Chris Privitere make up this week's panel. Not much news this week, but there was a lot of turkey. Atlus also announced a couple games, the panel gives excuses on why it isn't playing Mass Effect, Jordan laments Fire Emblem's difficulty, and one of the hosts might be starting a new WoW addiction. |
Discuss |
| This week it's Mikel Tidwell, Jordan Jackson, and Chris Privitere. We start off with on the scenes coverage of the FFXI Fan Fest by Mikel. Then we delve into Mass Effect and why you should buy it...before we review it? Finally, we go over some daily lesson plans from the new Pokémon science lessons. All this is yours if the price is...er...if you download the podcast. |
Discuss |
| Michael Cunningham, Jeffrey Cottrell, Mikel Tidwell and Chris Privitere coming at you with the latest and greatest. Bandai-Namco-Banpresto mergers, Mass Effect hype, and Final Fantasy XI Fan Fest highlight the news. While Dragon Quest Monsters and Fire Emblem dominate the panel's playtime this week. Also, Mikel is hoping there'll be Mithra at the Fan Fest, I think that'll work out for him. |
Discuss |
| Anna Marie Neufeld, Adriaan den Ouden, Chris Privitere, and Mikel Tidwell bring you the latest news. The new Parasite Eve game, Mass Effect, Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, and Dragon Quest Monsters all get the panel's attention. And this week marks the return of Persona 3 to podcast, so those despairing about its absence last week have nothing to fear. |
Discuss |
| Very different cast this week as we work out the kinks in our new schedule. Adriaan den Ouden, Katie Crandall, and Chris Privitere talk about the Okami annoucement, the new Disgaea, and plenty of other goodies. Also, the panel looks at how credible this Bioware KOTOR MMORPG rumor really is. Also, we had some recording problems so the podcast has a lot of clipping, so turn the volume low and we promise it'll be fixed next week. We're sorry. Special thanks to Ed Walker (Foxworth) for doing the sound engineering this week. |
