The team sits down with NeoMadDog this week to try to understand the craze surrounding the odd series known as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. While "understanding" might not be fully what is achieved, we definitely broke Grn...a lot. 

This episode will serve as the first half (or the "Intro Session") to the topic, with the second half (the "Advanced Session") hitting your podcast feeds on Friday morning.

The team sat down with returning guest co-host pensHALO, to continue the discussion over events leading to HALO Infinite, with a more focused exploration into the Banished and potential situations with Cortana. In addition to discussing the stories of Atriox and Escharum, we also take a look at what we know about Installation 07 (i.e., "Zeta Halo"). There might also be a moment of breaking Grn with tales of the legendary Yappening...but we can neither confirm nor deny those rumors. 

This episode serves as the second half (i.e., the "Advanced Session") to the topic, completing the weekly topic discussion from the FFC Podcast team.

This episode will serve as the first half (or the "Intro Session") to the topic, with the second half (the "Advanced Session") hitting your podcast feeds on Friday morning.

The team sat down with good friend, DancingViru, to continue our exploration through the lore of League of Legends with a deeper dive into the story in this session. Starting with a look at the transition of the gaming mechanics into the lore, we discussed the various major geography aspects within the narrative. Using the events of Bilgewater, Viru discussed how lore and gameplay are blended together uniquely within the series. To close out, the team gets a chance to chat about various champions...with a special focus on those unique characters who hail from Bandle City.
