98 - The Patch Episode
The summer calm gives our crew a chance to catch their breath and look at their backlog. Rob talks about the latest updates to The Witcher 3 and Diablo 3, Caitlin nearly persuades everyone to replay Final Fantasy Tactics, and Derek talks about betrayal and death in Lost Dimension. There's also a bit of Dragon Quest speculation during our news roundup, but that was before all of today's insanity. You better believe we will cover all of that on the next show!

97 - Oh Hai Lisa
E3 is firmly in the rearview mirror, so now we can finally get back to business. Derek and Stephen gush about Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, Rob tries to convey the utter weirdness of Lisa: The Painful RPG, and then everyone loses their minds over the news we're getting another Zero Escape game (while Jesse makes the mistake of asking if he should give it a try).

95 - The Witchering
Geralt rides into the podcast, and everyone has a ton to say about The Witcher 3. Following that, the gang engages in some discussion about sexuality, gender, race and whole bunch of hot button issues in gaming. There's a bit of Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker talk before we give some E3 predictions and desires (hint, Stephen wants Kingdom Hearts 3 info before he explodes).

94 - Pillars of Awesome
The gang gives some final Bloodborne impressions (we promise!), Michael talks some Oreshika, Stephen does his best to convince Rob to buy Pillars of Eternity, and then everyone weighs in on the insanity in the industry over the past two weeks.

92 - Anticipation
Man, March is going to be crazy! The whole crew is filled with anticipation (hence the title), and it's proving rather difficult to keep their hype in check. Still, we have some cool stuff to talk about this week, including Rob's new Playstation 4, some off-topic debates, and Derek's journey into Atelier Shallie.

91 - Party of Five
Jeez, there are almost too many games to talk about this week. We've got Citizens of Earth, Criminal Girls, Darkest Dungeon, Ghost Song, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., and a little Brandish to keep you warm during this incredibly cold winter. Oh, and there was some kind of new trailer for a game that has everyone hyped. I think it was called Persona 5 or something.

90 - Sanctuary
2015 is upon us, and we're certainly excited about all of the amazing looking RPGs to come. Before we board the hype train, however, we talk about some gaming trends and whether or not we actually have time to play all of these massive games. Stay tuned after the main show for our interview with Michelle and James over Ska Studios, who are currently working on Salt and Sanctuary. It looks like a 2D Dark Souls, so you know Rob and Stephen are excited!
