This Season's Theme by Javagore

Rid of the curse of Kingdom Hearts for now the gang stumble onto Mistwalker's Lost Odyssey - a cult classic JRPG that flew under the radar back in 2008 in spite of an expensive ad campaign.

Also:
- International Cheese Day
- A Leaky Staff
- Her Chest Lacked the Swellings of a Grown Woman
- Big Sidekick Energy
- Prince Sparkle Pony
- #FriendsReunion
This Week: Kaim goes to jail after defeating a big ol' wormy boy in Lost Odyssey!

This Season's Theme by Javagore

The gang has mixed feelings over the ending of Kingdom Hearts 2 and are left with a lot of questions, like:

- Did any of this make sense?
- Why did Johnny yell at Matthew?
- Does what happened to Riku make more sense than the Marvel movies?
- Should you be pressing the Y / triangle button more? Or the X / Square? Or not?
- How do you pronounce Saix?
- And of course, the long requested: would you eat this summon?

This Week: We finish Kingdom Hearts 2, Thank God

Coming hot off the heels of one of our Scare Roots Livestreams, Vanessa and Jim sit down with the star of Phantasmagoria 2 - Paul Morgan Stetler! We discuss his new YouTube project Conversations with Curtis centered around the game, why the game may be finding a new life with today's gamers and get some insider details into what it was like to bring the game to life.

The whole Square Roots is out of sorts this week as they are obsessed with chilli dogs, and not really that interested in Sora revisiting the Disney worlds again. But that doesn't mean there's not a lot to talk about, like:

- "I Love That You Love It"
- Evil Uncle Scratch
- Fitness Deez Lutz
- She Wants That Knot
- Not Gas-X
- Auron Action Figure

This Week: Land of Dragons 2, Beast's Castle 2, Olympus 2

We all have a game
That we hide away forever
Then we take it out and play ourselves
When everything is wrong
Some are Seifer some are Squall
Some are Selphie and some are Quistis
They're the cast of this chunker
But we love to play them all!
Well, we all get impaled
But we disregard the danger
When you try to assassinate the sorceress
Sometimes you go to jail
Why were you so surprised
That you didn't kill the Squallster
Did you really think the game would end
When we're on disc number 2?

This Week: We reach Fisherman's Horizon!

Vanessa gets lost in her role as the Sorceress Edea in this jam-packed episode of Square Roots. Not only do we discuss all sorts of kinds of tap dances, we also look at Rinoa's comfortable sweater, get involved in another caper, meet some big beefy bull boys, realize Irvine looks like a male stripper-slash-magician, and cast a 1990s dream version of Final Fantasy 8 for which we are cancelled.

Have the tables turned on Final Fantasy 8? Is everyone loving it all of a sudden? What the hell? One word: TRAINS. On this episode of Square Roots: we visit the hot dog room, Vanessa wants feathery soft chocobo cuddles and fluffly flappy moogle cuddles, Laguna Loire is the first real protagonist of the game, Johnny breaks the game, a three-person locker is ordered, and Jim body shames Muncher.

Oh boy. The JRPG you either love, hate, or have another opinion on - Square's Final Fantasy VIII. Topics covered today: L'il Baby I Don't know; this game is about reading in a serious way; identifying a real Lisa Kudrow; thicc, thicc Quistis; cargo jorts; sometimes Squall has a 4K face; and Vanessa's greatest mashup ever: Truly, Madly, Crazy.

You'll be glad you came to listen to this episode of our Mass Effect 2 playthrough, because it's got it all: Vanessa questioning whether Johnny knows what a nipple is, Luke's classic line "No you weren't, Obi-Wan!", classic dumb robot logic, a doctor definitely not being controlled by this lovely, beautiful artifact, and Vanessa reveals that Batarians are technically people, but, you know. Also, don't forget: pew pew pew, launch launch launch, float float float, it's Mass Effect.
