The Weekly Stuff #116 - Doctor Who S9E2 & The Top 10 Persona Vocal Songs

The episode begins with some catch-up on Super Mario Maker and Destiny, before we jump into this week’s Doctor Who review to talk about “The Witch’s Familiar.” It’s a damn good episode, and makes for a good discussion. But the bulk of the show this week is devoted to a crazy, niche, awesome top 10 list: The Top 10 Persona Vocal Songs. If you don’t know what Persona is, you are probably a new listener, because Persona is our favorite video game series here at The Weekly Stuff Podcast, and we use different songs from the various soundtracks to open the majority of our shows. So we love the series. We really love the music. And with the rhythm game Persona 4: Dancing All Night coming out next week, we thought now would be the most relevant time to count down our respective 10 favorite vocal songs from across the series and its many incarnations.

The Weekly Stuff Podcast #115 - Doctor Who Series 9 Premiere & Destiny: The Taken King

If you’ve been listening to this show for any length of time, you’ll know that Doctor Who is one of our two primary obsessions here. That means this is a pretty great week for the podcast, as not only did Doctor Who return for its ninth (modern) series on the BBC, but the Persona series – the object of our other primary obsession – was shown off at the Tokyo Game Show, with a new preview – and new release window – for the upcoming Persona 5. So there is a lot of excitement and enthusiasm on this week’s episode, and that’s before we even factor in Destiny: The Taken King, a new expansion that is absolutely wonderful, and very exciting to talk about.

The Weekly Stuff #114 - Reviewing Metal Gear Solid V & Super Mario Maker

After looking over the history of the Metal Gear Solid franchise on last week’s show, we dive in full with the latest installment of the franchise, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This is one of the most acclaimed games of the year, but is it, well…any good? Sean and I aren’t exactly crazy about it, and the many, many, many problems on display with this game make for a lively, heated discussion.
