Summary

The only thing you should fear more than the Blood God’s axe is the Blood God’s anime obsession. This week, Kat and Nadia talk to Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert talk about how anime and RPGs uplift one another. They also look back at RPGs based on licensed anime properties, and recall the Mighty Struggle™ that shaped and molded anime fans who traded VHS tapes before digital distribution saved us all. Also in this episode: There’s a new Fallout New Vegas game (well, sort of), Twitter is playing Pokemon, and we’re not allowed to stop talking about Cyberpunk 2077 because at some point we must’ve died and gone to hell for our sins.

0:59.2	Oh my God, you did it. You got an next-gen console. I did, although it's coming in February,
1:04.4	but I did grab one. Wait, you said I'm now the proud owner, but it's not arrived yet,
1:09.0	so you're not the proud owner. No, but they took my money out, so they better damn well deliver it.
