There’s no accounting for taste, but that doesn’t stop Angela, Robert, and Zack from taking turns trying to express and explain our love for our favorite video game characters, heroes and villains and little oddballs alike. Fair warning that due to its nature this podcast will potentially contain spoilers for every character discussed, with the exception of Final Fantasy XIV’s Emet-Selch, who is discussed only vaguely.
