Hi gamers, no new episode from us this week. Instead, here's a treat! It's Video Game Podtimism! This is a recent episode of their fantastic show where Noah guested to talk about all kinds of stuff including a stupidly difficult Star Wars game for the PS1. We'll be back next week! In the meantime, the original description for the this episode is below.
Go subscribe to Podtimism!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Podtimists,
This week David is somewhere chilling on a beach so we were instead joined by the wonderful Noah Hertz from the Press START podcast. This week he has played two supremely confusing (but also good) video games. Chase on the other hand is just soaking in the Hoyoverse.
We also took a deeper look at Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles, which promptly kicked out whole ass. The game is both good and incredibly hard!
Games Mentioned:Luigi's Mansion 2
Zenless Zone Zero
Death Stranding
Final Fantasy Tactics
Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles
