Unknown Games Podcast

Let's play, let's share, let's listen to the sounds of Alex and Adrian playing the Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo. We've been waiting forever to get our hands on this demo, and we wanted you to be there with us as well did!

Seriously, the show this week is an hour and twenty, so make sure to rest up before coming back for the second half! We're asked some serious questions about the animation industry in Japan, as well as, our life in Japan. Up until now, we just gave you the short form answer, but this week we don't hold back.

Gaming podcasts are all the rage, so we decided to spice ours up with some Japanese mayonnaise and a brand new season! Welcome to Arc 2.

Adrian's finished Metal Gear Rising and the epic senator fight, plus we have game news and Japan life! Everyone is listening to podcasts these days, so go ahead a...

This episode we struggle to English because our brains can only think of the Japanese words to say! It might be because of the crazy heart pizza Alex ate from Domino's, or it could very well be the fact that Adrian is continuing his training as a samurai-ninja in Metal Gear Rising. Just as baffling, the new Sonic movie is doing well in theaters! The world's turning upside down, but we hope this we...

Adult Cream Pies from McDonald's are all the talk in Japan, so we figured we'd spread the love with you, but please remember to stay pure at heart!

2019 is winding down and the true future, 2020, is upon us! We review Polygon's Best Games of the Decade and ask ourselves, "Wait, why is this game on the list?"
