Welcome to Episode 12 of Load Save Game, a podcast where I talk to people about their personal journey with video games. I am your host Jose Eusebio. First some house-keeping I know it’s been a good long while since our last episode. I’m sorry about that. I went on vacation for a while. I was fortunate to visit a friend in Taiwan. I also spent a week in Osaka, Japan right after. I think I’ll share some stuff on socials regarding some of the cool video game stuff we saw like visiting a Taito Station arcade in Osaka and just the general Nipponbashi Den Den Town area which is like the nerdy Akihabara-like area of Osaka. We went into tons of arcades or Ge-mu centa as they call them there so I think I’ll share some photos and videos of that at some point.
After all that my computer broke, and got I busy with work, and also got pretty addicted to Baldur’s Gate III which is just an incredible game that I recommend to anyone who is a fan of RPGs or Dungeons and Dragons. So yes, very sorry this was delayed, but I think it was worth the wait!
My amazing guest this episode is Diane Nguyen. We talk about tons of great stuff in the episode like the philosophy of what it takes to be a Pokemon Master, the urge to play games on Hard Mode for the “purest experience” of a game and letting go of judging others for playing on Easy mode or maybe even learning to forgive ourselves for doing it? Diane also shares great memories bonding with her family while playing Time Crisis in the arcades.
