Soul Reaver (with Brendan Hesse)

Normally we have a Castlevania episode for October, but this year Bro and Murph wanted to give host to a very different kind of vampire, one that wavers much further from already thin line between living and dead that his kind walk. Legacy of Kain expert Brendan Hesse is summoned to talk about Soul Reaver, the immediate sequel to Blood Omen (there's also a Blood Omen 2, but don't worry about that). This cult classic of the Dreamcast is known for it's gothic mood and superb writing, but can all that sustain the number of sliding block puzzles you must do?
This episode the typical variety minute has been eschewed for extended discussion of current fighting games and how our hosts have progressed with them.
