But it isn’t all sad songs and whiskey, as Eddy and JJJ also discuss the raging rumor mill for the next Nintendo Switch and talk about what they’re playing right now.

Host

Game Agent ET (aka Eddy)

Game Agent ET (aka Eddy) occasionally phones home to the US from Japan, where he has set up covert operations since 2007 under the guise of an English teacher. Originally birthed from the dusty trails of Tucson, Arizona, ET has shown great intrigue in earthly customs and rituals, such as playing video games, learning about Japanese culture, partaking in a fantasy football league, drawing depictions of humans with big kawaii eyes, and engaging in other artsy endeavors.

Six Button Samurai (aka JJJ)

What is Oh God It Hz!?

Live on tape from Tucson, AZ & Osaka, Japan… JJJ and GameAgent ET deliver a biweekly blast of insight on the world of video gaming through a retro-fueled lens as a pair of lifelong friends catching up over hot mics across the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes it’s taking on gaming’s biggest issues with the history of the biz firmly in mind, sometimes it’s an open requiem for cool things, people, and places we miss, but there’s always an inside joke being slipped into the cracks as two gentlemen whose life paths have been forever woven together and influenced by this passion of theirs as console gaming enters its ninth generation.
