Remember when the digital world was a place of horrors for children? Where monsters roamed around every corner, friends were hard to distinguish from enemies, and for every villain defeated there always seemed to be a bigger bad lying in wait? No, we're not talking about Twitter. We're talking about the world of Digimon and that's where we're takin…

In this episode the boys discuss the FromSoftware original: Armored Core. Is it an anti-capitalist screed from the labor class at the mercy of mega-corporations? Is it the perfect emblem for an encroaching AI-fueled dystopia? Or is it a clunky mecha from the team that would later revolutionize video games with the likes of Dark Souls? All this...an…
