It's the final episode of the podcast, and what better way to put it out than with the help of sweet baby Aristotle as Keith and Jesse finish their look at Final Fantasy VII. Thank you for listening. This has been New Player Has Joined. Goodbye.
New Player Has Joined is coming to an end. Keith and Jesse look back on the last three years of podcasting and talk about what comes next.
It might not be the greatest game ever, but it's a game that has stuck with Jesse for decades. Keith and Jesse talk about Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean, a Sega Saturn gem that shaped Jesse's love of JRPGs.
Some games are masterpieces, some are flops, and some are beloved despite rough edges. Keith and Jesse discuss The Legend of Dragoon as they try to figure out what makes this game a cult classic.
Z shape. L shape. Square. Z shape. Square. Long piece! Keith and Jesse talk about Tetris. And yes, the song is already stuck in your head.
Shadows with creepy hands and the worst Valentine's Day possible? It must be Persona 5. Keith and Jesse finish their look at the instant classic RPG that has everybody asking, "Why can't you date Yusuke?"
Billionaire ducks AND pogo sticking enemies to death? Yeah, we're in. Keith and Jesse talk about the surprisingly great Nintendo classic DuckTales.
Jason Smith was the CEO of Starburns Audio, the reason New Player Has Joined got made, and one of the best people the world ever made. In honor of his life we're re-releasing his episode. Jason, wherever you are, we hope there's plenty of BBQ and Crazy Taxi for you. Thank you for everything, buddy.
If you're looking to point and click your way to a good joke, this one's for you. Keith and Jesse explore The Secret of Monkey Island in all its slapstick glory.
Keith and Jesse explore the other dimensional world of Shaq Fu. Will there be basketball? No, somehow not even a little. It makes zero sense. But will there be sub-par fighting mechanics? Absolutely.
Jump into your nicest cardboard box because it's time to get confusing! Keith and Jesse explore the 5th installment in the Metal Gear series, Phantom Pain. Is this game incredible? 100%. Is this game a complete mess? 100%.
It's one of the most difficult games ever created, and somehow it's still fun as hell. Keith and Jesse talk about the NES and arcade classic Contra, including why it's named Contra.
Oh you thought video games weren't physically demanding? Well welcome to the world of Dance Dance Revolution - the arcade dance game that took the early 2000's by storm. Keith and Jesse talk about the DDR world and how they're terrible at this game.
WWII media is everywhere, but that doesn't mean a WWII game can't be special. Keith and Jesse explore Medal of Honor: Underground and take a look at how insane war is.
Denim shorts and no shirt? It's gotta be Playstation's favorite mascot. Keith and Jesse discuss Crash Bandicoot and try to figure out why we were all obsessed with humanoid animals for 10 years.
Some games are difficult. Some games are nearly impossible. Only one game is Battletoads. Keith and Jesse look back on the unexpected NES classic that made rage quitting cool.
Shouting as a weapon, arrows in knees, potions you'll never use - Skyrim has it all. Keith and Jesse jump into the hit Elder Scrolls game that left everybody asking, "How the hell do I get out of Blackreach?"
Keith and Jesse take a look at the Postal series and try to figure out why somebody would make these games.
Grab your hat and toss it onto a frog, it's time to talk about Super Mario Odyssey. Keith and Jesse marvel at the joy this game produces, and also talk about how Luigi is going to die.
Lace up your ugliest sneakers and put on your worst sweatpants - it's time to be bad. Keith and Jesse take a look at the NES and arcade beat 'em up Bad Dudes. It's part great and part awful.

Quarantine episode... 157 Oh God, it has been that long. I guess I should just join DSA to fill the time.

I used to love this podcast so much, but at some point (right before quarantine), they stopped talking about the things they loved and now spend most of every episode rantingabout the things they hate. I appreciate that they're socially aware, but they've now become so uber woke that they can't even talk about a game without spending the whole episode virtue signaling over how "problematic" it is. They can't even talk about a game that everyone loves without spending 45 minutes shitting on it to prove they shouldn't be canceled. This is no longer about two guys who love gaming. It is a pseudo-political, woke-cast vaguely centered around a game, once every two months. They should just change the name to "Keith Shits on Everything."

It is not right to cut people off at the drop of a hat just because you deem them horrible people instead of like, you know, encouraging change? Talking like adults is important, and if you dismiss others as stupid, well, you're certainly part of the problem, too.
