End of An Era

It's the final episode of the podcast, and what better way to put it out than with the help of sweet baby Aristotle as Keith and Jesse finish their look at Final Fantasy VII. Thank you for listening. This has been New Player Has Joined. Goodbye.

New Player Has Joined is coming to an end. Keith and Jesse look back on the last three years of podcasting and talk about what comes next.

It might not be the greatest game ever, but it's a game that has stuck with Jesse for decades. Keith and Jesse talk about Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean, a Sega Saturn gem that shaped Jesse's love of JRPGs.

Some games are masterpieces, some are flops, and some are beloved despite rough edges. Keith and Jesse discuss The Legend of Dragoon as they try to figure out what makes this game a cult classic.

Z shape. L shape. Square. Z shape. Square. Long piece! Keith and Jesse talk about Tetris. And yes, the song is already stuck in your head.

Shadows with creepy hands and the worst Valentine's Day possible? It must be Persona 5. Keith and Jesse finish their look at the instant classic RPG that has everybody asking, "Why can't you date Yusuke?"

Billionaire ducks AND pogo sticking enemies to death? Yeah, we're in. Keith and Jesse talk about the surprisingly great Nintendo classic DuckTales.

Jason Smith was the CEO of Starburns Audio, the reason New Player Has Joined got made, and one of the best people the world ever made. In honor of his life we're re-releasing his episode. Jason, wherever you are, we hope there's plenty of BBQ and Crazy Taxi for you. Thank you for everything, buddy.

If you're looking to point and click your way to a good joke, this one's for you. Keith and Jesse explore The Secret of Monkey Island in all its slapstick glory.

Keith and Jesse explore the other dimensional world of Shaq Fu. Will there be basketball? No, somehow not even a little. It makes zero sense. But will there be sub-par fighting mechanics? Absolutely.
