What? 200 episodes?
Yes, we've been talking about video games for that long and it doesn't look like we are stopping anytime soon.
As the podcast moved forward, the crew has ventured into other ways to provide content through writing, videos, and the current craze - streaming. But even with us doing different things, the TMG Podcast is still here to provide a space to discuss and appreciate the world of video games.
This episode is focused on the most-awaited title in 2020 - Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Carlos, Miggy, and Matthew have played it (two of us already finished the game) and tackled different parts of the game that were fantastic but also highlight it’s faults.
Intro and outro music heard in the TMG Podcast was created by MrBulbamike.
