GI Show – Final Fantasy XIV, Her Story, Dissecting Batman: Arkham Knight
The slow release dredges of summer are upon us, but our heads are still overflowing with things to talk about. Final Fantasy XIV's Heavensward expansion is out, several us have become infatuated with the mysterious Her Story, and Fullbright's space-station exploration game Tacoma graces the latest cover of Game Informer. This week we also see the return of listener emails and have an in-depth conversation about Batman: Arkham Knight's gripping ending (saved for the post-credits of the show so you don't have to worry about spoilers).
Your co-hosts Ben Hanson and Tim Turi are joined by the adventure game-lovin' Kim Wallace and calculatedly cunning Dan Tack for the general game chat and email answering segments. Ben and Tim hit our studio's version of the Batmobile's ejection seat button when it comes time for the Batman: Arkham Knight conversation, however. Andrew Reiner, Kyle Hilliard, Jeff Cork, and Bryan Vore invade the podcast for a post-credits spoilery conversation that's perfect for listeners/viewers who'd want to hear some great talk about the game's dramatic conclusion or don't intend to finish it.
