[Character Name] got robbed!

 

Curious about our deeper takes on each character, flip on back to episode 22. Listen as we wallow in the exhaustion that comes from talking for, like, over an hour. We dive back into our end-of-season knockout, working through the winners and loser's brackets to crown the objectively* best characters of ZZZ season 1!

*All decisions are wholly, entirely, completely subjective and should not be taken as fact for any reason.

22: S1 Knockout, Part 1: Swords, Looks, and Books15 May 202501:34:18

It's our Season 1 end-of-season spectacular! We're celebrating the only way we know how:  by ruthlessly, and with increasingly flawed logic, winnowing down Season 1's S-Rank Agents to find out who is number 1 (and 2, and 3).

This is part 1 of our knockout bracket, the finale will be out for our regularly scheduled next episode on 5/29.

Also, all rankings are completely subjective and that Eric and Brian are, objectively, morons... with poor tastes.

We'll see you for part 2, releasing 5/29!

Also, Eric apologizes for (still) being sick. He blames his kid. It's probably not his kid's fault, but since the child can't defend themselves... it's the kid's fault.

Holy cow, 50 episodes! To celebrate, we're going on a jolly romp up into the clouds - 'ello Roscaelifer!

Please note: We tried to avoid spoilers, but we talk at length about the region for 3.0. If you want to go in 100% blind, maybe save this for after you finish part 1 of the story

In this episode:

  • Reactions to Booastrum and our new floating city
  • Velina, Pyrois, and a little Norma
  • WHY IS THIS BEAR SO LOUD?!
  • We definitely remember all the terms the game uses
  • Pyrois cheat sheet - use Ult-Down at start of fight, use Ult-Up to start the stun window, use Ult-Right at the end of the stun window. Chain Attacks are stronk on Pyrois and build ult faster, so do that
  • Join our outpost!
  • Don't sit on the Bangboo long-term event, you can't clear it in one day (also, it's fun)

SSU Special Episode - Eric and Brian Q&A, 202614 May 202601:39:57

We're doing something a little different this week! We sat down together to answer questions from you, our audience! Want to watch us talk instead of just listening? Check out the youtube version: HERE

 

We discussed the origins of the podcast, our long history as friends, our humble nerd origins, and how we manage pretending to be adults and playing all the video games that we play.

We also squeeze in some ZZZ discussion at the very end.

 

It's a little different and we hope you like it - we will be back to our regularly scheduled ZZZ discussion in our next episode on 5/28.
