Gearing Up For Crazy (with Adam Nelson)

Runtime: 87 Minutes

Today, we're joined by Adam Nelson as we all take in the story of Xenogears (1998), the Square developed role-playing game originally released for the Sony Playstation. As part of its story, we'll learn all about its creators, Tetsuya Takahashi and Soraya Saga. We talk in depth about the inspirations of Xenogears' story, as we talk about our own extensive experience with the game. Finally, we'll talk about its important to ourselves and gaming, in general. Join us for today's egotistical trip down Memory Card Lane.
