ARGcast #44: Storytelling and Starr Mazer with Lead Writer Vanessa Williams
The top of the show kicks off with the latest stories such as the successful Kickstarter for Mutant Football League, the Netflix animated show based on Castlevania, and E3 opening to the public. Are you planning to go this year? Let us know!
We also celebrate some intriguing titles in this week’s Stage of History, including fan favorite racer Mario Kart 64, a couple of Square classics on PS1 Xenogears and Vagrant Story, and more!
