Kamurocho Radio

We're back in Kamurocho and we miss the orphanage already. Before we can go visit our alive friend Kashiwagi we first need to fight some Mysterious Foreigners, do some racial profiling, and see how many jobs one woman can get in a night. Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

This week, Kiryu learns about the power of posting. Need I say more? Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

More orphan drama this week before we finally head back to Kamurocho. Riona and Koji are cancelled. Taichi thinks all landlords should die. Kiryu may or may not be aware of the United States. We talk about Oval Pawffice and DogRates in this one. Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

Awoooooof! You're pawstening to Pawmurocho Radiwoof! The only PAWdcast about the Pawkuza Series of Puppy-o Games. This week, Pawgyle and Jordog are continuing to PAWK about Pawkuza 3 Chapawter 3: Paw-er Puggle. Can't wait to eat some Yummy NomNoms with #Pawruka. Awooooof -Rikiya Pawyle | Jordog Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Pawdcast

We put Yakuza 3 on hold to talk about our (spoiler-free) thoughts on Lost Judgment a few chapters in. Spoilers: We like it! Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

We're back with a CHUNKY chapter, so we split it in two! This week, we're talking about the first half of Yakuza 3 Chapter 3: Power Struggle. This week, Kiryu meets a politician for a few links of ball chess, solves a robbery, and picks up a stray! Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

Please donate to help with relief after Hurricane Ida if you can! Are you sick of working? Wouldn't you rather just sit around all day and play Wii Sports with your boys? Well then you should join the Ryudo Family! All you have to do is bumble around and maybe collect rent from our tenants sometimes, and in exchange you get a clubhouse to stay in and all the popsicles you can eat! ... Look, we rea...

Uhhh, sorry about the title for this one. It's not what it sounds like, we promise. We started Yakuza 3 this week with Chapter One: New Beginnings, there's some little kids now and we like it. Sorry about the title. Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

We've finally reached the end of Yakuza 2. Does it hold up? Will Jin Goda survive? And who will Argyle get to replace Jordan after the shit he said in this episode? Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

Put on your snakeskin jacket and grab your Demonfire Dagger, because this week, special guest and Majima-enjoyer Audrey joins us as we talk about the Majima Saga. This relatively unremarkable side story in Yakuza Kiwami 2 contains THREE cutscenes that you'll really love to see. We're talking about the Tojo Clan's aversion to crime, skeleton massages, and Cabaret Club ruckus. No crime!!! Argyle | J...

CyricZ joins us as we spend Entirely Too Much Time talking about Majima Construction and Cabaret Club Grand Prix. Argyle | Jordan and Special Guest CyricZ ! Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

It's the penultimate chapter of Yakuza 2: Blood and Bonds and uhhhh not much really happens in this one. We get a shocking reveal of incredible importance(?), Sayama makes an apology video, and I'm sure those bombs will come up again...right? On the side, we meet an absolute queen. Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

This week we get worn out from fighting exactly eleven (11) goons. Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

Things are heating up as we square up for a showdown for the ages in Chapter 13 of Yakuza 2: Settling Accounts. Wait? Is that really what this one is called? This week, we learn the difficult, convoluted truth about Sayama's parentage and Kiryu tries to make life-altering decisions for his daughter without asking her first, but it's fine. Yeah...it's fine. Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise...

This one is pretty normal, actually. Argyle | Jordan | Dan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

Sayama makes a huge leap in logic that leads us into an interesting (not really) diverging set of paths between the original game and the remake. Kiryu bumps into an eternally old friend. Neither of us understand shogi and we refuse to learn. Could someone please tell me where the K-Mart is? I've walked down every street and climbed every tower in Osaka looking for it I'm begging you. Argyle | Jor...

Aw fuck do we really have to deal with the Florist's failson again? Fine. We also get some out of character romance between Kiryu and Sayama (as opposed to the in-character romance between Kiryu and Majima), and some interesting tattoo lore. And yes, we talk about Lost Judgment. Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

This week on Kamurocho Radio, we're talking about Chapter 9 of Yakuza 2: the Omi Invasion, and guess what? The Omi? They invade! This chapter rules and we loved to play through it! We also chat about Kiryu's ice cream preferences, Majima's personal protective equipment, and the Yakuza series' tenuous grasp on world events. Oh and swords! Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

Oh no, Date is funny sus! To get him out of this jam, Kiryu pays a visit to our sleazeball pal the Florist, then runs into another iconic Yakuza 1 character that you definitely remember before Kiryu says exactly who he is. Somebody please help Kiryu, he doesn't understand computers and is gonna get himself hurt one of these days. Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

Fuck Kawara!!! We're talking about the Yakuza 2 Chapter 7: A Foreign Threat, which we're pretty sure was written by Tucker Carlson. We learn how Kawara got his nickname and it sucks and we meet a new, xenophobic player in the world Kamurocho-based criminal organizations. it's rough...so we also just talk about a bunch of substories! We also talk about Kiryu's streaming career and why you should su...

Yakuza 2 gives us a little peek of the weirdness and xenophobia before it blasts us with both barrels. We have a new least favorite cop character, which is quite the feat considering there's now three of them all vying for screentime. Jordan likes the doppelganger plot so much he decides to see another one on the side, and I take no pleasure in saying this but Argyle encounters what can only be de...

Sotenbori has been nice, but we're back in Kamurocho this week for Chapter 5 of Yakuza 2: Hidden Past! Kiryu has to pay a visit to the Cool Boardroom and reunites with someone who has been suspiciously absent from this game. He also meets some pro-wrestling legends. This week, we're talking about the Yakuza Hard Rock Cafe, horny Morrowind mods, and Sayama snafus. Activate extreme heat mode! Argyle...

Kiryu has to avoid content at all costs or risk the death of his new cop acquaintance! Once that's been averted, we've got some busywork that thankfully doesn't involve actually playing mahjong. On the side, Jordan gets a very convenient sum of money and Argyle meets an old friend. Do not worry about Chairman Goda, the A/C is on, he has a Happy Meal, and is listening to Judgement Shinpan. Argyle |...

We're back on the mean streets of Sotenbori for Chapter 3 of Yakuza 2: The Yakuza Huntress...or is it the Yakuza Eater? No one is quite sure. Kiryu has his fated meeting with Omi Alliance Chairman Jin Goda and it turns out he was a lot nicer than we thought he was going to be! This week, we're talking about Kiryu poses, doing the wave, comfortable seating, and Chekov's Chandelier. Watch out for Co...

It's Yakuza... 2! Chapter... 2! This week, we make our long overdue return to Sotenbori and the Cabaret Grand to meet perhaps the single best antagonist in the entire series. He's large, he's blonde, and he's so fucking cool dude holy shit. On the side we discuss some further changes to the series formula in the Dragon Engine, and learn how to relieve ourselves and have fun at the same time. I'm s...
