Welcome to episode 2 of The Julian Titus show, starring Julian Titus! Justin has moved on to home ownership and having a “relationship”, whatever that is, so it’s time once again for Julian to strike out on his own. Only this time, he’s not alone…*

00:00 Introduction, and introducing the new partner to the podcast

04:32 Final thoughts on Ghost of Yotei

22:22 Things I wanted to get off my chest that I forgot on the season finale

33:08 Anthem, Terminator 2D: No Fate

48:35 Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

*This is a bit. Last season I kept seeing people download the first one of these and I shudder to think that this could be your first taste of our podcast. Please, go listen to one of the numbered episodes first.

We’re still on break, but we’re keeping your feed packed with shows as we rest up for season 3! As I did last season, this is a look back at most of the bits and skits that ran on The Stage Select during season 2. Think of this as your behind the scenes/director’s commentary on how things went down, and the thought process behind some of the ads as well as the storylines for some of the characters. See you live, very soon!
