Oh God It Hz! | Episode 44: Whose Trade Show Is This, Anyway?

@GameAgentET (OGiH) and The Six Button Samurai talk The Fame, er, Game Awards, and how a lack of understanding around who the audience for this show, and what it’s function is, ties directly into the not-surprising death of E3. We also go deep into the fantasy zone of Sega’s recent quintuple franchise revival trailer, trying to make sense of the glimmers of joy we caught from footage of brand-new Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, and Streets of Rage games. Last but not least, we pick apart comments made by Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, which seemed to suggest that a return to non open-world Zelda games would be more 'nostalgic' than forward-thinking. It's dangerous to go alone, find us in a cave and we'll give you a properly unbreakable sword on the latest Oh God It Hz!

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.

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.
