#16 - Mega Man 10

In Episode 16, Bryce and Caleb talk about weird feelings about nostalgia for times that we weren't alive for. 
In the core of the show, the guys talk about Mega Man 10 for a fun, yet relevant, switch up after the last dreary episode on The Plague by Albert Camus. We talk Roboenza as a means of comparison with the book, and also how even video games as simplistic as Mega Man can have stories worth our time if we take a couple minutes to examine them. 
 
Play and read along with the guys! See the show schedule for the next 4 episodes below!
 
Show Schedule:
 
3/25: A Memoir Blue (Cross-platform)
4/8: The Sound and The Fury by William Faulkner
4/22: StarTropics (NES)
5/6: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
 
(Dates subject to change at any time, but these are all real episodes!)
