Xenogears | E12: Black Market Concerns [Kislev Capital]

Hey. We're in Nortune now, which means everything is different until it becomes the same again. Enigmatic forces of questionable benefit are everywhere. Prison initiation rituals are unavoidable. There are suspect choices on diversity and representation. Fei finally sleeps a lot. We also discuss pretentious attempts at creating introspection, our wish for a D Block Animal Crossing spinoff, bomb collars in popular fiction, Rico's clear origins in Blanka, and bro'ing out Hamer The Supplier. At the end our JRPJesus returns to put more sins on a tab that he will never pay. 00:40 - Intro / Elru + Element Corrections 02:38 - Enter Kislev 04:25 - Kaiser Sigmund's musical detour (music sample: "Pray For The People's Joy") 08:43 - Snake basket spaceship and its Masked Woman 11:43 - Pretentious old timey film grain flashbacks (music sample: "Far Away Promise") 18:21 - Bunk Bed, Dorm, D Block, Kislev, Nortune 19:23 - Meeting Rico & The Battle Boys 23:21 - Questionable prisoner ranking systems via Baptismal Ceremony 28:30 - Exploring D Block (music sample: "Invasion") 38:04 - Latina's Bar and its shifty anthropomorphic otter, bro 41:44 - Rue Cohen's battle arena hard sell 43:15 - D Block has a new doctor 51:15 - Outro Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter @RetroAmnesiaPod, and through e-mail at [email protected]
