I Beat It First

IBIF Podcast Ep 170 – Ai Haiku

On this episode of "I Beat it First," hosts Eric and Jason kick off with a high-ABV beer review, complete with dramatic and humorous AI-generated flavor descriptions, before diving into the high-cost future of entertainment by debating if immersive dome theaters (like the one where Eric saw Empire Strikes Back with expanded scenery) can save cinema from expensive concessions and streaming competition. They then cover the games backlog, praising unexpected hits like the "couch cozy survival game" Pacific Drive and Dead Island 2, while warning about Sony's concerning new online connectivity policies and lamenting the shock of rising Warhammer model prices. Finally, the segment "You Are Wrong Because Reasons" sparks a debate over games they deliberately abandoned out of dislike, featuring critiques of titles like the "Chore Simulator" Assassin's Creed 3 and the inventory-heavy Final Fantasy Stranger of Paradise, and ends with a tease for the next episode’s ultimate challenge: naming the single game they "fucking hated" but still earned the Platinum trophy for.

Cutscene Ep 126 – To Be Hero X episodes 1-12

An anime so nice we're gonna watch it twice. And by twice we mean we're watching the rest of season 1. In a world full of brilliant heroes, it’s the trust of fans that turns heroes into superheroes. If a hero loses the people’s trust, they lose their special abilities. Trust value is collected, quantified, and used to determine a hero’s ranking, displayed on their wrist. Every two years, the top heroes go to a tournament to fight, determine new trust values, and earn their rankings. Next episode we're going to talk about 13-24, so be ready.
