In our first spotlight episode of Friend Code, get some insight into why Damiani still loves Super Mario 64.
So this is the first attempt at one of the special (or different) types of episodes of Friend Code I mentioned when pitching the idea to you all earlier this year. Not every single episode needs to be a news-focused discussion and feel lik...

As I was stirring my chilled egg dish in this lavish-yet-perfectly-quaint villa made of African teak wood, I remembered my poor fellow Easy Allies left behind in miserable old Los Angeles, California. While I won't be attending Group Stream Night this Tuesday, the group certainly still needs a game ...

2017-07-15 01:55:19 +0000 UTC View PostHello fellow Patrons! So this upcoming episode of Friend Code is going to be my first attempt at the Spotlight episodes, which focus on a single game. These will eventually contain more than just my voice behind them, but I wanted to try out the first with just me to see how it goes. I expect the meat of this episode to be much shorter than the hou...

I'm going to be out of town visiting family for the next two weeks starting today. My hope was that myself, Brad, and Huber would be able to shoot the Hajime no Ippo episode of EZAnime before I left. Unfortunately, we weren't ready in time. We do have a hard date for when the episode will go up though, which is July 28. Our next EZAni...

Hey there! Here's a Don't Skip for Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. From what I've played so far (around 11 hours), it seems like a very substantial remaster and I've very much enjoyed my time with it. The new additions feel very substantial and the world Ivalice is a pleasure to take in. I hope you enjoy the video and there will be more updates ...

Hey allies! Here's our review for Ever Oasis. The review was a bit bittersweet for me. I loved it initially but as time went on the shortcomings became more prominent. It's still an enjoyable game and I do hope we see more town building/action RPG mashups like this in the future from Grezzo. Enjoy the review!
