Join us as we engage in the grand strategy of building a bigger army than everyone else! Conquer Japan, keep the peasants happy, and try to cause the peasants elsewhere to revolt; you've got a lot to do if you want to be emperor. Rather fortuitously, you have a giant menu at your command so you may direct your kingdom.

Our download is mostly divided into cavalry, so you had best have a lot of guns.

Show Notes

(02:00) Yuuki!

(04:45) Jadeite's small business strategies.

(07:30) Holy melonade, Batman, it's new Homestar!

(11:10) Daniel Boringcliffe on Jimmy Fallon.

(15:00) Spirit bomb of cash Kickstarter?

(20:00) Sweet headband, Light.

(23:15) Gihren's Greed isn't actually made by the same company.

(24:30) That story Zach was talking about. Also, the guy worshiped by cops.

(26:00) Attempting to explain the main menu of Nobunaga's Ambition. See those tabs at the top? The each expand to 5-8 options.

(35:00) Cavalry, riflemen, and infantry and the problems with losing troops every fight. The bottom line: combat is boring and it's the only way to win.

Next time on Last Time, Baseball! Halftime!

After a "totally planned we swear" hiatus, we're back with what might be one of the most awesome games about sailing and pirates ever. Also, there are assassins. It's also not the one you're thinking of. This week, we trade, steal, and sail our way to world domination with a remarkably accurate map of the 1520s!

Downloading now decreases the overall price of downloads in this country, allowing you to sell them for more in Turkey!

(01:00) Giant turkeys and ice worlds. Also, adorable.

(02:30) All the stuff we've been playing. Zach's playing LoL now, so officially everyone in the world is.

(07:10) Dat noise. You seriously had to listen to this every time.

(08:30) Did someone say pirates?

(13:00) On a tangent, a game about a time traveling thief musician.

(14:30) Shanties!

(16:20) We talk (read complain) about game pacing. Arkham Asylum allows you to look around and stuff during the opening scene.

(26:00) New Horizons' cutscene problems: early 16-bit sprites moving around randomly is not entertaining.

(28:00) This game has 6 discrete scenarios. Like some other game by the same company.

(30:00) Go get famous. Discover the dodo. Attack everyone! Sell stuff and invest in cities! There are a ton of different ships. Sail the entire known world. Just skim this really quick to get an idea of the scope.

(35:00) You will likely end up with multiple food ships, like the Food, the More Food, the Pantry, or the Fridge.

(36:00) Naval combat is broadside, but you don't really have much control over what happens. Your team just kinda mills around. You can also duel people. Fun.

(42:00) Crew is expensive. It's like they eat or something.

(43:00) This game as a sweet mercantile system. You can affect the price index of items in a port so you can buy stuff for cheap after selling a ton of similar goods there, then take the more expensive items to ports with higher price indices. It's objectively great.

(50:00) Like sea-faring exploration and being a merchant? Play this!

Next time on Last Time, we're achieving supersonic speeds with Mach Rider.
