We were gone for a while there. Maybe you enjoyed not listening to us talk about whatever we talk about. But chances are you actually missed us. We did. We missed you. But we're here now. You're safe. Now we can just eat chicken wings and talk about movies. This week we sandwich some juicy topics between the new Avatar movie and John Wick 4. It's tasty.

We are gathered here today to discuss the tier list to rule all others! This tier list has better tiers than the other tier lists. It's the tier list of prophecy. The tiered wedding cake of tier lists! Have you read tier enough that it looks and sounds weird? Hopefully. Tier. Tier tier.

So this week's episode is about power systems. Basically a power system is a system of power for something. This episode is decidedly shorter than others, but I promise you'll still be satisfied. I've been told by a lot of people actually that shorter does not necessarily equate to worse. They don't all have to be the same ok?! Where would the fun be in that? Variety is the spice of life! Just get off my back about it. I'm sure it's no problem finishing this one compared to the others. And don't you dare say it's cute.

In this week's episode, two beings who were once men cross blades in deadly combat. Geralt of Rivia vs The Witch King of Angmar! You'll want to listen to this one. These dudes are tough. This isn't going to be like when you and your brother were playing in the yard, one armed with a foam bat and the other with a toy lightsaber. And then when you hit your brother in the butt with the bat he got all mad. And then you ran because his lightsaber had impressive reach, and because you were older you were able to easily create distance. So you're brother did the only thing he could think of to get his revenge. He threw the lightsaber. And then the handle hit you in the eye and it knocked you completely unconscious because it was heavy because it was one of those light up sabers that was full of D batteries... yeah this fight won't be like that fight. Let's get it!

In this week's episode we try something new. Squintz hit record while we were just talking and that's what got posted. You're seeing us raw and unedited. It's like Per Contra tartare or Per Contra poke. So if you don't like it it basically means you're uncultured. But we still love you. So sit back, relax, and have confidence that this conversation is sushi grade.

I remember being young and being told that hard things build character. I remember hearing that and immediately wanting to go make yet another character for D&D that I would never play because our current campaign is never going to end. But instead I had to shovel the driveway or take out the trash. Well now that I'm an adult, I get to do what I want! So lets talk about some of our favorite characters and why. WOO!

You know when you go to the drive through and the kid taking your order is too dumb to remember that you asked for no pickles? And you complain about it even though you knew that it was probably inevitable that he would forget and you would get pickles anyway. But you still keep going back to that same fast food joint. Why do you do this? Take a step back and ask yourself why you don't just try a new place.
Well movies can be like that. Today we are talking about tropes and clichés that we see far too often. We know they are coming, we complain about how dumb they are, and we keep on coming back for more. Make the change. Be the change. Go somewhere else for your cheap burger.

Have you ever heard of an instant classic? Basically it's when something is so good that it's considered a classic almost instantly. It's kinda like instant ramen. Relatively young compared to it's traditional counterpart, but everyone loves it. And if you don't love instant ramen, get out of here. You don't belong here. Instant ramen is where it's at. I'll fight you.
So anyway, lets talk about some modern games that deserve some recognition!

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Gee I super wish I had some random guys to tell me about their favorite old stuff". If so, boy do I have some good news for you. That's exactly what we are doing in this week's episode of Per Contra! But this isn't like when your Grandpa tells you about "the good 'ol days" when gas was a nickel and Coca Cola still had more white powder in it than Scarface's home office. No, today we talk about classic games. Games that make us feel warm and fuzzy inside, like if you were to swallow a puppy. Well, maybe not exactly like that but you get the idea.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, Star Wars was born and it was good. Then, sometime later, the Kenobi spin-off series was finally released, and it was not good. Now I know everyone says you need to watch it, but Tijuana and Squintz are here to remind you not to believe everything you read or hear on the internet. Unless it comes from Per Contra. Then you can trust it. Completely and utterly. With full confidence.

Romance, seduction, shouting the names of your abilities before you even start the motion. If these sound familiar, you are probably an anime fan. So are we. But that doesn't mean we like everything about the medium. Stick around to find out what we do and do not like about one of the most divisive forms of animation. Because here's the thing, nobody likes a weeb. Nobody likes the neckbeard with the Hatsune Miku body pillow. But you can enjoy anime and not be that. So we are going to talk about some of the things that could be changed to allow normies to enjoy anime as much as they rest of us who can admit we love anime.

Typically new is better. But not always. Sometimes new is weird. Sometimes new smells like Goodwill and is overly nice so that you'll like them. Sometimes new tries to take you bowling but you'd rather go miniature golfing. Then when you get to the bowling alley you realize that it was all a ruse so that they could have that conversation about how you don't need to call them dad if you don't want to. Yeah new isn't always better.

First things first! We have new cover art! Bet you can't guess who is Tijuana and who is Squintz!
We are sure you have often wondered why sequels are never as good as the original. So have we. This week we look at that. We look long and hard like a nerd with a microscope looks at nerdy stuff with that microscope. We'll give you some sequels that are done well and some we feel are done not so well. Oh and also buckle in for a little tough love. Don't worry, it's good for all of us.

Have you ever been talking to someone and their entire personality seems to consist of worshiping Disney? Particularly Disney movies that fall short of what they could be? Do you ever just want to tell those people to get a grip and watch some Disney animation that actually has some heart? Do those people ever try to tell you that you are wrong but not have a good reason as to why? Do those people try to convince you that the whole troll arc in Frozen does actually make sense? Yeah... me neither. But it's always good to be prepared with counter arguments and alternative viewing options. And that's what we will give you in this week's episode of Per Contra!
In this episode we give a few popular Nintendo IPs a run for their money. Are you a fan of franchises like Pokémon, Zelda, and Mario? Well we used to be too. Take some time with us to think about why the new releases in these IPs might not feel the way the old games did. Take some time to think about what has changed over the years and what hasn't. But most of all, take some time with us to realize that we all deserve just a little more from these new spins on childhood classics.
