Take this with a grain of sand, but 2.0 is a whole different ball-game.   Eric and Brian discuss everything in 2.0 except the story (spoiler-free, baby!) - Yixuan, Suibien, Waifei, no way!

[Character Name] got robbed!   Curious about our deeper takes on each character, flip on back to episode 22. Listen as we wallow in the exhaustion that comes from talking for, like, over an hour.

It's our Season 1 end-of-season spectacular! We're celebrating the only way we know how:  by ruthlessly, and with increasingly flawed logic, winnowing down Season 1's S-Rank Agents to find out who is number 1 (and 2, and 3). This is part 1 of our knockout bracket, the finale will be out for our regularly scheduled next episode on 5/29. Also, all rankings are completely subjective and that Eric and...

Trigger?! I barely even knew- ah, you get where we're going.   It's April Fool's (I mean... it's not, but that's not going to stop Brian) and we've pulled out all the stops! To keep from spiraling over the lack of Trigger on their accounts, Eric and Brian are filling the time with the rambling discussions and vague advice you've come to know and love.   In this episode: new story discussion, Trigg...

If Silver Soldier 0 can use her weapons with either hand, is she Anby-dextrous?   Eric and Brian are celebrating Silver Anby and her stunner friends and unpacking the newest story beats of version 1.6!

Astra Yao is here and she highlights a key element to what makes the design of ZZZ so interesting: simplicity.   Brian's not able to record this week, so it's a solo day for Eric.
