Colin Behrens and Kevin Bloomfield
Trails in the Pod
Colin has played all of the Trails (Kiseki) games currently available in English; Kevin is a newcomer to the series and has only played through Trails of Cold Steel 1. Together they embark on a journey to play through the entire series in a slow, systematic fashion. Both Colin and Kevin come from an academic background, and apply their scholarly training to the Trails series in their quest to treat video games as the artistic products they are.
