Cult Chronicles & Gaming Nostalgia: From Blackpool Adventures to JRPG Favorites with Scott

Unofficial Controller Podcast
About

Ever found yourself on a recruitment mission for a fictional cult in Blackpool? No? Well, Scott has, and he's sharing all the bizarre details with us on this week's podcast episode. Joined by RGT, we manage to escape our imaginary overseers to chat about our gaming lives in an impromptu podcast session. From the peculiar nature of recruiting for the "Great Ascension " to our latest gaming escapades, there’s never a dull moment in this comedic adventure. Scott even gives us a sneak peek into his labyrinthine conquest of Conscript on the Nintendo Switch, promising a blend of intrigue and laughs.

Our conversation naturally shifts gears to the world of RPGs and JRPGs, where Scott weighs in on classics like Dragon Quest and Suikoden II, alongside modern marvels such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. We reminisce about the allure of Final Fantasy, debating the remastered magic versus the nostalgia of the originals. From confounding glitches in Batman to youth development strategies in EAFC 25, the gaming tales flow thick and fast, each with its own touch of humor and nostalgia. We even find time to reflect on the rainbow-kicking joy of Adidas Power Soccer and the engaging simplicity of Cat Quest.

But hold on, the platform and shoot 'em up games get their moment too! Our journey through these genres is a celebration of gaming's past and present, featuring beloved icons like Crash Bandicoot and Sonic the Hedgehog. Whether it's the thrill of classic arcade cabinets or the charm of Disney’s Castle of Illusion, each game holds a cherished place in our hearts. Rounding off with heartfelt shoutouts to our incredible community, we invite listeners to join us in sharing gaming memories, insights, and a shared passion that binds us all.
