The Jasu Review: Recent Episodes
Jasu Bakuhatsu
This week on the Jasu Review: an in-depth review of Battle for Wesnoth, including discussions of RNG mechanics and ‘white whale’ games. Also: talking about current & upcoming game playthroughs on Twitch and answering your questions in the mailbag.
Note: Apologies for the audio this week. I turned on the noise gate to deal with some background noise on the last stream, and forgot to disable it before the podcast. You will notice some weird silences and missing words as the audio cuts out periodically.
