    Crash 2 really is the best in the series. Perfect balance between platforming and some of the more gimmicky gameplay (which Crash 3 leaned into way too much). With some of my favorite tunes on the Playstation.

    And oh, hey, my favorite game of all time in Symphony of the Night (tied with Mario World).

    I hope this was worth the wait for everyone! I kind of regret recording the number one segment when I had a cold, but hopefully it’s not too distracting.

    Anywho, I’ll try to make there be less of a gap between the ‘98 episode, though I can’t make any promises since there will probably be an extremely lengthy RPG on that one.

    For anyone who hasn’t seen FF7’s ending and is interested in seeing it, I’ve uploaded it here:
