    It's gone on a bit of a hiatus in the last year, unfortunately, think Roo is finishing up a PhD, but it's a sterling bit of entertainment; found out a ton from it.
    The 'Rise of the RPG' eps were properly academic in their scope.

    Yeah new eps are very scare, but like yourself, I find the content absolute quality & I too have learned a bunch from the series. I've bought games on the strength of what I've seen in the reviews, & I find his very structured yet humorous approach to the vids makes for really addictive watching :o

    What do you think got me looking at Earthbound, & into learning about RPG's in general :) That two parter was absolute quality

    Just to add, for any tech heads, there's some semi-tech vids about how things work:

    Nintendo 3DS
    Playstation Move
    Xbox 360 Kinect
    Wiimote & Motion Plus
    NES Zapper
    Wii U Pad
