Adam from What Could Be Gaming joins the Amazing Gamers podcast to discuss Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Nathan discusses writing from the heart and impactful connections.

Nathan marks two years of writing about video games-- and how it all started with being completely destroyed by the ending of Persona 3 (thank you Atlus!).

That first essay submits that Persona 3 is focused on death, yet completely life affirming and wonderful. The word "catharsis" might have come up.

Adam was one of the first to read that essay and reached out on social media to share his thoughts. Nathan shares how that one decision set in motion many new and good things in his life (thanks again Adam!).

We also discuss Xenoblade Chronicles X (not what I was expecting!) and swap favorite philosophers.

Nathan finally meets longtime social friend Aly AKA HighlyGinger IRL! We discuss which Persona 4 characters we identify with, why we enjoyed Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth much more than Remake, recent wins in our life, and the evolutionary roots of friendship.

Nintendo Force Staff Writer Maggie Jones Lutey (AKA AvengerMags) joins host Nathan Lamb for the debut episode of the Amazing Gamers.

We look ahead to Pax East and plan awesome cospays. Maggie discusses what it's like to go next level with the con scene through volunteering and more.

We also share our recent wins: Nathan bonding with his son over Octopath Traveler 2, and Maggie learning more about her colleagues through a film project. Trails from Zero, Metaphor and Persona 5 are also discussed.
