“It’s all I ever wanted in two adult gamers: the ability to turn (mainly) JRPGs into marathon therapy sessions. And they also discuss their marathon experiences. No I did not repeat myself!
Do you wanna’ hear some hot sounds I’ve recorded?”

“If you love Retrospective type podcast this is one of the best out there. They pick great games and take their time going through them. Just the perfect type of podcast for me. It’s like getting to live through these games from my childhood again without having to play all the way through them....”Read full review »

“Discovered these guys when I was searching up stuff on Xenosaga (their current season), and saw a back catalog of amazing games. Started with ff8 and am about to do the next season. Chris and Eric are hilarious, insightful, and worth your time to listen to.
Also Fakenet will you marry me.”

“Chris and Eric rock. They play off each other super well, it’s like hanging out with a couple guys with a bottle of whiskey and even though you never have a chance to get a word in, you don’t really want to. Thoughtful and interesting with hilarious in jokes they are more than happy to bring you...”Read full review »

“It’s a joy to listen to Eric and Chris dissect some of my favorite JRPGs and even the ones I haven’t played they paint a colorful and hilarious picture of the games events. Character reads I would’ve never thought of, next to a biting wit make every listen an awesome experience! Keep it up guys!”

“Hands-down the best longform RPG podcast. Two funny, smart friends playing through some of the best SNES/PSX-era RPGs, in hilariously meticulous detail, from item drops to musical cues. Thoughtful, sometimes poignant, commentary mixed with random personal anecdotes. One of the only podcasts I...”Read full review »

“I am glad that some people decided to make a podcast specifically for me, a late 30s JRPG nut who’s too old and busy to play games anymore but is still trying. Extra applause for Chris, a fellow Dad Gamer.
This is the most essential podcast available for anyone who spent 100 hours in Xenogears...”Read full review »

“I usually dislike retro gaming podcasts since a good amount of the hosts' interest and excitement about games is about the memory of the game rather than the game itself. RA is an exception. They may have good memories of what they played but they are attentive and reflective enough to bring...”Read full review »
