A bonus for listeners of the show! This bonus episode tackles my mention of playing Bloodborne seven times (it’s actually six!) and never explaining it in the episodes, so here I am trying to explain myself. Hope you enjoy the story!

I can't wait to see what the future brings, and I hope you'll stick around for the ride.

This episode takes a look at a niche JRPG called The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel.
