Phantasy Star IV | E4: Another Brain [Academy Basement]

This monster business is no mystery after all. As we uncover the secrets, we’re wondering if manga can be in color, installing headquarters in the basement, dropping multiple fishies, fingering to win, sweating to lose, producing the Venn diagram of veins and ticklers, conducting numerous brain activities, breeding monsters in the basement, teleporting before your…

Phantasy Star IV | E5: Stoned After Dinner [Mile, Zema, Birth Valley, Molcum]

Well, Chaz, your brain seems to work a little bit. At least enough to listen as we’re speaking with the beardy-guy-vestman, swallowing a town with quicksand, adding morality to terraforming, pounding Zima, performing a community raking service, experimenting with macros, stoning everyone in town, refusing to help orphaned children, discussing mustache petrification logistics, grifting Hahn,…

Phantasy Star IV | E6: The Invention of Sephiroth [Krup, Valley Maze, Tonoe]

What a pig this dog is! Before experiencing canine pork, we’re finding Krup stuck in our teeth, lying about our academic career, telling people where I hurt myself today, spreading religion, leaving the cabinets open, embracing orange soda genericism, disinheriting a son, harnessing the power of CRBN, teaching kids in the home, figuring out if…

Phantasy Star IV | E7: Idiots are Special [Tonoe, Tonoe Basement]

Somehow the body has become lighter.

Phantasy Star IV | E9: A Fluid Town [Nalya, Aiedo]

We’re ex-convicts, no one will marry us now. We’re doomed to a life of observing the need to fix bridges, inhabiting a dead town, fearing dentist technology, bowling alone, refusing to trust the neighbors, Wet Banditing our own house, vomiting all over the wall, observing a fluid town, stealing husband’s secret savings, losing a lot…

Phantasy Star IV | E10: Cave or Lost Civilization [Guild Hall, Wreckage, Kadary]

Do not run on the floor. Instead, run your ears on observing infinite lives, hearing about the troops, declining a free drink, enriching lives, rendering pixel ass, making sure they’re bug ladies and not bunny ladies, splitting the cave-computer binary, tying into Phantasy Star III, decaying orbit, merging two guys into one guy, rejecting the…

Phantasy Star IV | E11: God is Computer [Zio’s Fort]

Only after destruction can we create a new world. Become reborn with us as we’re playing in the cave in the church, living in idleness, filling pauldrons with puss, walking the red carpet, falling through a hole, obliterating a jobber, mistaking knees for ass, pulling more characters out of Bubblegum Crisis, showcasing medical power, taking…

Phantasy Star IV | E12: New Lore Opportunities [Land Rover & Monsen]

Do you like this kind of treatment? Audio injections of us imagining what Krup “tastes like,” saying mighty cheeky things, emerging from the ground, freely restoring HP/MP, worrying about Dark Force, keeping a car in our pocket, fighting things with the car, looking all over the world for a fat dog, locating the secret bakery,…
