Xenogears | E13: Grahf's Spreadsheet [Brave Battlers + The Sewers]

It's episode 13, the best number. We begin with an outrageous Blue Guy/Red Guy Digital Thunderdome sequence before moving onto the Battle Arena and discovering someone tried to make a fighting game in the middle of this role-playing game. We also find Hammer The Supplier in our modern society, get body shamed by French cooks on a planet that doesn't have France, question whether Rico seeks justice or recruitment, stomp out grotesque monsters in the sewer, experiment with vertical platforming, and discuss the biological and social nature of Solarian sympathy. Memory cubes exist in Xenogears' world but the real life versions of save points are apologies. 00:49 - Intro  02:17 - Eric's text-to-speech puppet theater production, "Red & Blue Brain Guys, Part 1" 04:53 - Breaking down brain ministry and their techno-sphere  12:23 - D Block'n around  15:28 - C Block, Battling Arena (music sample: "Invasion" "Stage of Death") 18:43 - There is a sub-Destrega arena mech fighting game in Xenogears  23:40 - Creeper in the darkness  26:16 - Battle Arena: Tin Robo, Titan, W-Shaver, MUSHA 28:46 - Seeking justice and beating ass in the sewer with Rico  37:25 - Citan's emerging skills  38:40 - CSI D Block Sewers  42:54 - Redrum 47:23 - Round 2 with Citan and "Emperor" in the JPEG Cosmic Zone  51:40 - Chris' Gebler etymology update 54:48 - Elly and the proud boys sort out their orders To Purge  01:00:50 - Outro  Find us on Patreon at patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter @RetroAmnesiaPod, and through e-mail at [email protected].
