The First Hour

 Four discs, one PlayStation RPG that refused to be contained. This week Matt, Jarin, Joel, and Visor dive deep into The Legend of Dragoon. The group takes on the philosophical crisis of our generation: what is THE Final Fantasy, and will we ever truly know when it comes?  More importantly, what do you even call a fan of Dragoons? The answers may surprise you. Drop into this one, Dragoon fans (or whatever you're called) and find out!Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://linktr.ee/thefirsthourpodcast

 Grab your balls and find a monkey, the boys are back! This week it's Super Monkey Ball 2, and the question on everyone's mind is just how good a game with minimal controls can really be. The Jacobs team up to sandbag yet another one of Matt's picks. How many levels did they actually get through? What set them off the most? Tune in and find out. Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://linktr.ee/thefirsthourpodcast

The original three are back. Matt, Jacob, and Jarin morph their way into Animorphs: Know the Secret this week, and things get weird fast. We talk about what animals we would each become if we had the power to morph (we don't actually pick animals just the fact that we would pick some). Yeerk slugs and what we think might be candronal rays get a thorough discussion, Jarin spends the entire hour posting morphing gifs in the Discord, and awkward voice lines are appreciated. Brush up on your alien lore before tuning in because this one's a wild ride!Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://linktr.ee/thefirsthourpodcast

 It's finally here - the sweaty couch classic. The boys dive into Super Smash Bros Melee and things get heated fast. We discuss what it would look like to find Smash item drops in real life, tier lists are debated, tournament rules are dissected, and we take a moment to give a hot take on unlocking characters in games. Also, Jarin gets absolutely destroyed by Yoshis. How? Just sit back, listen, and find out! Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://linktr.ee/thefirsthourpodcast

The boys snap, crackle, and creep their way through Addams Family Values this week. A Word of the Day has been chosen, but you'll have to listen closely, it's a secret. Each of us gets assigned our very own Addams Family name. Jacob takes a moment to air his grievances against generic Great Value products, which somehow feels very on brand for this episode. Plus many more spooky surprises lurking in the shadows. Don't let this episode FESTER in your queue. Give it a listen! Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://linktr.ee/thefirsthourpodcast

You asked, they delivered. In this episode Jacob and Joel make out hard.

Joel edited this one, and told me nothing about it. I'm guessing we talked about Soul Reaver, probably did a quiz and the Here to Help segment. Jarin maybe discusses the souls he has reaved in real life. Is Jarin even on this episode? I have no idea this one is a total mystery. I think we recorded it 6 months ago at least. Enjoy!Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://linktr.ee/thefirsthourpodcast
