In this episode: Freudian slips, cat shenanigans, evergreen support characters, and spoooooky beach vibes.

 

We share our thoughts on Yuzuha and all the team options her arrival has opened up. We also discuss first impressions for the beach event and our thoughts about character building.

The 2.1 Special Program is upon us! We're talking beaches! We're talking outfits! We're talking umbrella warfare (I guess)!

 

Join Eric and Brian as they dig through all the fun stuff coming to us in ZZZ patch 2.1. Also in store: foot-bare ranting, new skin celebrations, and the majestic return of fishing!

This guy is sus. This TOPS guy should be sus but isn’t?! We’re talking 2.0’s story, current events, and maybe a little bit of a rant.

 

Spoiler Warning! We start discussing the 2.0 plot at 22:10, we stop at 46:58.

Take this with a grain of sand, but 2.0 is a whole different ball-game.

 

Eric and Brian discuss everything in 2.0 except the story (spoiler-free, baby!) - Yixuan, Suibien, Waifei, no way! S-Rank selectors, current events, and rupture, amidst other tangents.

 

Also, you can check Ju Fufu’s kit, just open the pause menu when you use her during the story. Our bad, y’all!

[Character Name] got robbed!

 

Curious about our deeper takes on each character, flip on back to episode 22. Listen as we wallow in the exhaustion that comes from talking for, like, over an hour. We dive back into our end-of-season knockout, working through the winners and loser's brackets to crown the objectively* best characters of ZZZ season 1!

*All decisions are wholly, entirely, completely subjective and should not be taken as...

It's our Season 1 end-of-season spectacular! We're celebrating the only way we know how:  by ruthlessly, and with increasingly flawed logic, winnowing down Season 1's S-Rank Agents to find out who is number 1 (and 2, and 3).

This is part 1 of our knockout bracket, the finale will be out for our regularly scheduled next episode on 5/29.

Also, all rankings are completely subjective and that Eric and Brian are, objectively, morons... ...

Hugo's been plotting and so has Brian's cat. Just let us record, Mewgo Vlad!

 

Season one of ZZZ is coming to a close and we're excited to talk through its denouement! We're discussing Vivian, Vlad's story, Yixuan's agent teaser, and how the story's been put together to be put together.

 

Spoiler Warning: We discuss the newest story beats from 23:05 until, like, 43 minutes. Honestly, play the new story first, y'all, it's real...

Trigger?! I barely even knew- ah, you get where we're going.

 

It's April Fool's (I mean... it's not, but that's not going to stop Brian) and we've pulled out all the stops! To keep from spiraling over the lack of Trigger on their accounts, Eric and Brian are filling the time with the rambling discussions and vague advice you've come to know and love.

 

In this episode: new story discussion, Trigger analysis, Q&A with Eric...

If Silver Soldier 0 can use her weapons with either hand, is she Anby-dextrous?

 

Eric and Brian are celebrating Silver Anby and her stunner friends and unpacking the newest story beats of version 1.6! We're talking events, characters, and some of the recent narrative/design decisions that we're not 100% on.

 

Spoiler Warning: We start talking SAnby's character story at 32:28. We start main story at 41:53

Astra Yao is here and she highlights a key element to what makes the design of ZZZ so interesting: simplicity.

 

Brian's not able to record this week, so it's a solo day for Eric. Apologies for the short episode, we should be back to our usual nonsense by next recording.

* SPOILER WARNINGS AHOY*

The first arc of ZZZ has finished, Miyabi’s power has been unleashed, and the SSU podcast is ready to dig into everything* we know so far. Join Eric and Brian as they set out to do a lore recap episode and instead end up hypothesizing wildly on the most tenuous of details.

* and by "everything," we mean what we can hastily chain to other ideas using push pins and red thread

1.4 is finally here and with it comes our new Miyabae. Eric and Brian discuss (okay... fawn) over our new cryo queen, break down some of the new end game systems, and reflect on how the team working on ZZZ continue to change and grow their game without losing their core inspiration.

1.4 is on the horizon and we need to talk about it. Eric and Brian discuss all the changes coming in ZZZ's soft-relaunch patch. New events, new characters, new areas, new endgame... everything's new except for our love of the game, which continues to grow.

 

Also, Eric apologizes for (still) being sick. He blames his kid. It's probably not his kid's fault, but since the child can't defend themselves.....

This isn't a Nicole episode, but there's a lot of Nicole in this episode.

 

We discuss the current state of the game, Lighter's pending arrival, and all the little things we appreciate about ZZZ. Also, for reasons we can't quite comprehend, there's a lot of Quiznos talk (rip).
