    Okay... Kinda late, but i just wanted to say that I have now played and finished to the Moon, and it was an absolutely awesome game. I'm really thankful to Sophia because really, she's the main reason i even knew this game existed. And it's truly an experience you HAVE to take part of, because missing out on it would really be a shame. And *laughs* really thankful that this episode was made! ^^ Because it's really fun to be able to hear more about what the creators thought about this game, how it was created and why. So yes, a very belated response here, but I still think it was worth mentioning ^^

    Excellent episode of SoundRadar. And Laura Shigihara's favorite game of all time is Chrono Trigger.

    Her favorite game is chrono trigger :) Wonderful game, my game of the year for 2011, even topping Deus Ex and Portal 2!

    This game (ok, more like an interactive story) is absolutely amazing. I somehow managed to not cry during this episode, guess i'll have to play the game again...

    Yay soundradar! And this is bound to be a great episode, but I'm gonna have to shelve till I play "To the moon" first XD I already bought it though, thanks to Sophia's continuous recommendation, and because I really love me a good story in a videogame. So I'll be looking forward to both playing it and listening to this once I at least beat skyrim >>; (Might not be TOO long now, hopefully, only have the daedric and civil war quests left to go.)
