Community, Connection, & Soul-Crushing Debt: The Story of Animal Crossing
Monday Feb 28, 2022
Monday Feb 28, 2022
Deep in the forest resides a small community full of furry little critters, buried measures, and massive piles of debt that you'll love to pay off (no, really)!
This time, Will and Nate dive into the surprisingly detailed and complex story of Animal Crossing. Released in 2001 in Japan as Dōbutsu no Mori+ on the Nintendo 64, and again in North America later that year, Animal Crossing is a enduring, beloved classic that shows the emotional effect video games can have on individuals and families, even if they're not fans of games!

You wanted it! You asked for it! Welcome to LGA's first FILLER episode!
That's right everyone. Nate and Will take a break from their regular programming to sit back, relax, make their contractually obliged shilling for Xbox GAMEPASS, and go over the latest games they're playing.
Nate gushes over Square Enix's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and paints his love for Metroidvania's, while Will takes a walk on the calmer-ish side to talk about STARDEW VALLEY and Canada's own THE LONG DARK.

The Story of Banjo-Kazooie
Sunday Dec 12, 2021
Sunday Dec 12, 2021
We're travelling to Jolly-Old London!
Will & Nathan dive deep into the wonderful development of Rare Software's platforming extravaganza, BANJO-KAZOOIE!
Rare is responsible for so many nostalgic classics, a lot of them on the N64, but how did they strike up this industry-defining relationship with Nintendo? What did Nintendo see in them? And how did this story lead to the creation of a simple bear and a plucky bird?
And did Will ever play any of Rare's games growing up? No, definitely not.
