Ep.280 – SAG Episode 280: A Force for Good, This Month

Princes and puzzle games

Show Notes

Dan and Kris continue their month of thankfulness with another pair of creators that have made their lives better by existing. Dan highlights the career of Jordan Mechner, the visionary behind the Prince of Persia series (and many other things), detailing just how great his games are and what he hopes to see from him in the future. Kris, on the other hand, thanks the fairly secretive Jupiter Corp for his obsession with Picross that’s only grown over time. At the top of the show, Dan talks about that Elton John concert he went to, and dives into his time spent with Disney+. And obviously, some more talk about the goings on in the world of PAD. Kris gives his impressions on Bloodstained on both Switch and PS4, marvels at the engineering behind the Labo Piano, is impressed by New Super Lucky’s Tale, and a whole lot more!

Thanking the Davids

Show Notes

Dan and Kris kick off a month of thankfulness by discussing some of their favorite creators in the video game industry. This week it’s a double dose of Daves with Dan’s pick of God of War creator David Jaffe, and Kris’ pick of Rare composer David Wise. There’s a lot to love about the work these guys have done, and unsurprisingly, Dan and Kris have plenty to say on the subject.

At the top of the show, Dan talks about how Dean got sucked back into PAD, and the potential awesomeness of an upcoming Elton John concert. Meanwhile, Kris answers some listener mail about how to make Final Fantasy VII playable, his time spent on the “new” arcade game Cruis’n Blast from Nintendo and Raw Thrills, the unrelenting awesomeness that is Terry in Smash Bros. Ultimate, and a whole lot more.
