Retrograde Amnesia: Comprehensive JRPG Retrospective
Are you being able to look into my brain magically? Are you able to ear listen to us yearning for days of wine and song, creating a Hot Rod situation, making sure this Bud’s for you, speaking with bad grammar, calling dad by his first name, focusing on the world of nature, staying in the closet, ogling stuff we don’t need, establishing the prescient NPC, getting drunk after an argument, building a body for sin, bringing out the slipper-kisser in me, reliving the trauma of the past, and falling down a spiral of regret. No nuts. Only sadness. 00:00:00 Season 8 Speculation 00:02:44 Intro...

Down here, it doesn’t matter. Down here, we’re loving when a town turns into a dungeon, keeping the Ramus Shop vibes intact, starting a signal fire, CAPITALIZING words ARBITRARILY, ethically debating nude fortune telling, yacking all over shoes, asking for booze, screaming like a cat in heat, frying bastards alive, exploring tomato broiling technology, really getting into the weeds with flame broilers, getting dad stoned, reading Mel’s book titles, and reminiscing Larry Johnson and the value of physical nostalgia. Get out there and be the hero you always talk about becoming. 00:00:00...

It’s painful when the memories return too suddenly. It’s less painful when we’re stealing villagers for mining work, blowing up a tombstone, revealing Chris’ ultimate weirdo secret, counting action figures, seeding rumors of a beautiful singer, shaking the faith of the faithful, extracting lore from the library, taking over the world for non-sexual reasons, psychologically torturing mom, realizing Alex is the last potential Dragon Master, guessing the next three plot points, mistrusting handsome men, confusing GnR with AC/DC, and yanking buns out of a fire. Whatever the problem is, the...

I have so many frightening dreams these days. You have so many Lunar podcasts. This one’s got us getting villainously angry at Dyne’s Monument, locating a prescient Burg resident, being last beheld, refusing to forgive a loss-causing world, sending in the clowns, executing the perfect anime betrayal, speculating jokerification points, staring a dragon equipment collection, becoming a nasty little stain, mixing titillation with fear, asking Ghaleon to not kill one specific guy, threatening to bite off nuts, and boiling every video game objective down to this question: are you a bad enough...

Once more into the poopy pit. Inside that mess we’re aspiring to the rank of Dragonmaster, misunderstanding Jessica’s social cues, hijacking the seas, letting Jessica cook in Silver Star Harmony, blowing up food, sleeping on the floor, getting my dinghy wet, better concealing the evil in our hearts, hitting Alex with a Trolley Problem, refusing to sign cleavage, suggesting a three way, repairing the marriage for the kid, avoiding hag sister friendship, debunking Fulari, and living a Total Elimination lifestyle. Just kidding, perv. 00:00:00 Fake Net Tryout Eval #1 00:01:44 Intro 00:03:08...

Enough with the googoo eyes, you geek. All you need is googoo ears to hear us forcing Mia to take control of the Magic Guild, sequence breaking a heel turn, addressing a problem but refusing to solve it, sniffing Mia’s bed sheets, beating the shit out of Lemia, using knowledge of the past to deal with the present, seeking to get railed, ogling at a birdy leggy bromide, becoming a sensual tomboy, only hiring pretty ladies, playing music from Eternal Blue, and marveling at Mary’s lust for Sega CD Alex. Loser pays for the drinks. 00:00:00 The Fake Net Is Dead 00:02:40 Intro 00:04:42 Great...

Show all the true soul of this imposter. Show your ears the tales of us demonstrating bravery, wearing underthings on the dome, prohibiting weapons at church, restoring memory with song, kidnapping singers for occult rituals, going Full Mom, predicting anime, desiring evil mommy punishment, blinging the dragon ring, passing back through the Cave of Trial, sorting through extended Sega CD events, and debuting the world’s finest Ghaleon impression. Brought to you by Michael “Rage” Hardy and James “Smarty” Cools. 00:00:00 Let’s Be Cops 00:01:09 Intro 00:02:43 Return to Magic Guild...

Screaming will achieve nothing. That's why we're speaking at normal volume about lamenting the loss of democracy, getting weirdly nationalist about fish and chips, committing to a Ghaleon bit, doubling down on menopause jokes, finding ourselves incarcerated, taking Luna to Golgotha, spitting up dots, wondering if mom’s soul has been poisoned, smelling the real mom, freeing a criminal, growing a backbone, eating lunch during class, telling the world Alex is not a criminal, and doubling down on feet stuff. Crap on a Krispy Kreme. 00:00:00 Naming Roses 00:02:38 Intro 00:04:23 Grand Hall...

Real men can pitch tents in the blink of an eye. Real listeners will know when we’re threatening to zap men to the Frontier, steering a boat, deploying pipe organs in a fetid swamp, avoiding poisonous wa-wa, guessing dragon colors, regretting infernal curiosity, performing a sexual attack, promising not to use magic for evil, wondering if Phacia is real, feeling meat pass fresh lips, leaving to pursue a music career, blowing on my nevermind, bumpin’ uglies, predicting a fortune in the past, and using practical magic. I’ll never shut my cake hole. 00:00:00 Intro 00:03:21 Guy and...
info_outlineStill your tongue, cat. And activate your ears, as this time we’re receiving Japanese turd confirmation, roughing up Dross with kicks and pows, self-realizing limitations, sassing up “driveway,” getting ripped off on Black Rose Street, deploring a PMS joke, exposing beastwoman babes, talking on the world map, blowing the Vane reveal on PSP, stroking Nash’s ego, stretching out a floor mat, burying the dragon tribe, conjuring memories of Phacia, and realizing Phacia has red eyes. “And I’m always been comfortable with my body.”
