Fireside Chats, Episode 16: RPGs and the State of Games Media with Alexa Ray Corriea
Added 2017-12-19 17:00:02 +0000 UTCFor years, Alexa Ray Corriea has impressed games enthusiasts with her passion for RPGs and her deep knowledge of the industry. Today, she joins Fireside Chats for a discussion about the games of 2017, the role-playing genre we both adore, and the meteoric success of the Nintendo Switch. We also delve into a chat about games media, and whether it's in as much trouble as it seems to be, and whether many sites' adversarial tone and seeming lack of knowledge will simply drive more lapsed fans to YouTube, Twitch, and podcasts.

Thank you for your kind words! (Hope Bloodborne treated you well.)

2019-01-09 00:11:52 +0000 UTCColin this is one of my favorite things you have done under CLS. I could hear you talk about JRPGs and Castlevania forever so thank you! Hearing the word Terranigma in a podcast filled me with such joy! Then an overwhelming sadness when i realized it was never released here. Yes please do give Nier another chance down the line. It was a real highlight of the year personally. You inspired me the jump on Bloodbourne while on sale this week so wish me luck.

2017-12-27 15:54:52 +0000 UTCAmazing episode man thank you for a great year of content! I love Alexa I discovered her thru WGG. So glad to hear u talk about games more passionately again. Also I kinda agree FF and jrpgs in general have kind of fallen off especially this decade but there are still some good ones out there. If you ever wanna give ur Vita some love check out Trails of Cold Steel at some point. It builds an amazing world and battle system is one of the best ever.

2017-12-21 13:17:00 +0000 UTCBoth Odyssey and Breath are overrated, but still great from my perspective (though I've spent little time with Zelda as of yet). They're still both clearly worth playing.
Colin Moriarty
2017-12-21 07:42:26 +0000 UTCPlease do! She's great.
Colin Moriarty
2017-12-21 07:41:57 +0000 UTCI'm sure they appreciate your support! Thank you for doing that. Glad we see eye-to-eye on Majora's Mask, even if you're woefully misguided on Final Fantasy X. =)

2017-12-21 07:38:22 +0000 UTCWow, she's awesome! Much respect for being one of the people who aren't afraid to admit Breath of the Wild is overrated. I really enjoyed my time with it but it's an 8.0, it's no Ocarina, Majora's Mask, or Wind Waker. I also have to be honest, I was one of the Wind Waker naysayers, but I ended up getting it and loving it, and it remains one of my great gaming shames, but I own up to it at least!

2017-12-20 03:49:29 +0000 UTCThat was a great one! Went directly over to WGG and subbed. You are correct that Majoraβs Mask is the best Zelda game but Final Fantasy X IS a good game, even with the terrible laughing scene.
2017-12-19 20:03:21 +0000 UTCVery good as always

2017-12-19 18:51:05 +0000 UTCYay! When you asked who we wanted you to talk to I literally said "Talk to Alexa about RPGs" - Glad that this happened.
