This week on NAFC, Izzy jumps into XCOM 2: War of the Chosen for the first time, mostly to scratch the itch before Zero Company inevitably consumes his life. He also checks out Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games, an anime that loves Street Fighter so much the gang wonders where the show ends and the Capcom sponsorship begins.
With Mid-Autumn Festival coming up, Mox and Izzy get into some Chinese food and traditions, while Gibbs has a more pressing cultural question: why the hell are there beans in everything? Gibbs also decides the existing supply of offensive language apparently isn’t enough and tries to contribute some original material to the growing “slur economy.”
Then the gang dives into Big Night (1996), with food, culture, assimilation, and the struggle between making something authentic and making something people will actually buy.
And after the main review, stick around for a spoiler discussion of the new Resident Evil movie.
