On WASD this week, Zachary and Cameron invite fellow Whales and Whales network member Tzuf onto to the show to discuss why Souls games appeal to many people, and how so many games take the formula, but mix it up to better or worse effects. Cameron goes on and on about how Batman: Arkham Knight is literally exactly like the other two games, except there is a Batmobile, Zach and Tzuf talk about RPGs a lot, and at the very end, we discuss... the age of the members of the network? That doesn't involve video games, and we're quite sorry.
Edited by Cameron (and he's sorry for the... "music")
Today the podcasters are faced with a new challenge—end on time or DIE.
No, really.
In this week’s episode Bryan is too busy, Cameron berates defenseless high schoolers, Abigail fights against grammar illiteracy, and Tzuf stays up until 4am to talk about dragon balls.

Hey folks, there's no new episode this week, and there's a very good reason for that. The Whales are Whales crew thought the best way to celebrate Memorial Day weekend would be for us to all go to Japan. How exciting!
While we were there, I ran into Miss Anime and had the exciting opportunity to conduct an on the spot interview. She had a lot of great things to say, and even gave one of her trademark greetings to all her overseas fans. I hope you like it!
We'll be back next week with a proper episode. See ya then!
Interview conducted by Zachary. Edited by Zachary. Thanks again to Miss Anime for taking time out of her busy schedule to speak with us.
Have you ever wanted an extensive list of everything Abigail ate over the course of a week? Perhaps there's been a burning drive to learn the exact heights of three random people you've probably never met? OR MAYBE. JUST MAYBE. You have spent many a sleepless night wondering why Kentucky bluegrass is called bluegrass.
If so wow congratulations this episode is freakishly tailored for you.

Bryan, Abigail, and Abigail’s sister, Ariel, come to you from a small room in a small house in the small town in the small…ish state of Florida. Gathering in-person (for once) and recording on a not-so-great built-in laptop mic, these three chums talk about wanting more money, try to read Stephen’s mind, and advising Ariel not to get into anime.
On this week's WASD, Stephen shows up to talk about a pretty little game called Rakuen. As for the usual panelists, Cameron wants to know if Heroes is bad for his health, and Zachary is playing things that aren't JRPGs. It all culminates in a big quiz fight between Cameron and Stephen over who knows their video game bosses best.
Editor's Note: There is no background music this week because I'm insanely busy reviewing two big JRPGs for HonestGamers (shameless plug) and I'm way behind thanks to a bunch of stuff all happening at once. It's no excuse, but I still want to apologize!

It is currently almost 3 in the morning, Pacific Time, and I'm not crazy in the mood to figure out how to write a witty and interesting description to this episode of the Pod-Cast, so instead, here's a factual, informative list of some of the things we talked about: liars
1. Abigail hates Blink 182.
2. Ben's fridge is broken, and can't eat various processed meats.
3. Bryan hates dogs.
4. Cameron is a bad actor.
5. Stephen is over-the-moon upset about the disappearance of the pig emotie in Skype.
Nothing in the show notes, because frankly it's a joke that's too good to not keep up with.

On this week's episode of WASD, Cameron has been playing Heroes of the Storm because the feng shui of his house isn't conditioned towards Persona 5 yet. In other news, Zachary is reviewing an obscure Vita JRPG called The Caligula Effect that he wishes everybody played, but knows they won't. Also, Fallout 4 is all kinds of garbage - that's something we can all agree on.
Music this week:
Heroes of the Storm - Smugglers Cove (The Lost Vikings 2)
The Caligula Effect - Sadistic Queen (Instrumental)
Edited by Zachary.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith is already so a movie so we aren't allowed to make that the episode title but that's a real shame because it's very accurate. Dani, wife of our very own Benjamin, drops by to visit for a round of Questions, Questions, Questions: Making Dani Feel Welcome (hug). Does it work? YOU DECIDE. (Actually Dani probably decides because she's a free-thinking individual.)
The proper Skype hug:

In this very first episode of WASD, Zachary and Cameron bring to you a bonus slice of video game discussion that just isn't fit for the pod-cast. Enjoy their talk of Persona, Yooka-Laylee, and that's about it. Seriously, they talk about those two games for an hour because the DVCast has returned from the grave. I promise it will be better next time!
Edited by Zachary.
Wow! Can you believe there's another episode of the Pod-Cast up this week? Well, neither can we. You should listen to it. Or don't. I'm text on a page, not a cop.
This week, we discuss laughter, Destiny Lore, podcasts and other shows we listen to and watch that are better than our own shows, and human trafficking! That last one might not be true... or at least, some people on the panel seem to think so.

It's a long one today, folks! Ben, Bryan, Cameron and Zachary spend a long time guessing which model of new Roomba that Cameron got, discussing why bosses in general sucks, and what sort of jobs they all have. Then, Stephen shows up, and the discussion turns to video games! Treading the same topic that Cameron and Zachary discussed a few weeks back, the friend go in-depth about Breath of the Wild (as much as you can do so having only played one dungeon), and I guess come to the conclusion somehow Nier is the very best video game of all time.
This goes on for almost an hour and a half, so either buckle your seatbelt, or run away crying!

On this week's episode of Disembodied Voices, Cameron and Zachary discuss the latest open world darlings to hit our open world - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Horizon: Zero Dawn. Cameron is the only one who has played both, but Zachary is able to draw upon opinions from the Internet to keep up in the conversation.
After sneaking in a bit of NieR talk, the dynamic duo discuss sobjectivity and what it means to love games that may not be as good as you remember them. It's a grand old time.
A note, out of courtesy for our listeners: We discuss the "dungeon" design, and a bit of how the story telling works in Breath of the Wild, though nothing in extreme detail. But consider this your MILD SPOILER WARNING.

When asked what this particular episode was about, this was Zachary's exact reply:
"In this episode, Zach, Abigail and Bryan sabotage Ben's game for the second time. Also, Zach is the new King of Anime."
Sounds like another amazing episode of the Whales are Whales Pod-Cast!

Zachary and Bryan may have enjoyed marital bliss, but does that mean they're up to the task of performing a live, improvised history of Whales are Whales itself? We answer this question, and at least one more in this week's rip-roaring and roar-ripping episode of the Whales are Whales Pod-cast.
Also, we suggest the answer is: "probably not".

Hello? Who's that on the phone? Oh goodness, it's Mr. Nintendo, and he demands that we discuss his newest Nintendo Switch game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! Good thing our resident computer game experts Cameron and Zachary are ready to SPOIL EVERYTHING RUN AWAY PRESERVE YOUR CHILDLIKE JOY. Speaking of childlike joy, these two fellows also recount their misadventures at a boarding school in Kentucky (strictly on Oneida-know basis). There's also some Whale Mail, but that's kind of hard to fit into this elegant, flowing Pod-Cast description.
Spoilers begin 24:00 and end 44:55, so like those dead skeletons from Pirates of the Caribbean in that one scene where Jack Sparrows sails into port and salutes them by taking off his hat, ye be warned.

Stephen, Bryan, and Cameron are having a quarter-life crisis, so they appeal to the youth with a fresh, on fleek intro designed to be both fresh and on fleek. To further engage their online community of savvy youngsters, they reply to burning questions via Whale Mail, which includes a shout out to their viral social media presence on Discord. Lastly, they alienate anyone who ever thought they were even accidentally cool with a Storytime sessions that continues the adventures of Bryan in the Vacuum Cleaner Universe, sending the entire group into fits of unconstrained chortles.

Because What's Up With the Whales was too useful and positive for a show this dysfunctional, Bryan decides to debut What's Down With the Whales, a spotlight on the latest depressing goings-on. Tim can't make friends, Zachary can't meet women, and Stephen can't do either-- AND he broke his dang bicycle! But don't worry, it all has a happy ending, unlike the nail-biting cliffhanger of this week's Storytime. This is one episode you'll want to tell your friends about, even if you can't pronounce it!

The following description of this Pod-Cast episode was generated using quotes from actual Whales are Whales members recalling actual facts:
Zachary: Whale of a Tale or Real Seal was fun, and Whale Mail has a theme song. Also, 30 minutes of boring cybersecurity talk because Bryan brings boring topics
Cameron: I honestly and factually cannot remember a single thing about that episode.
