Undertale Minilog - Despite Everything, It's Still You
It's the season finale for Backlog Dialogues, and what better way to send off Saikoroshi than a Minilog about a game for true witches, Undertale. Join us as we discuss the many characters and endings of 2015's smash indie success and summon all our determination to see it through. Plus, bonus heresy as suitable for a minilog paired with Saikoroshi! Oh what fun.
This week on Backlog Dialogues, we take a look at ourselves in the mirror.

"Why do we discuss it all here?"
"i guess you need to know

"But now its time to start it

On the most conspiratal
Reckless therical

Higurashi When They Cry Rei - Saikoroshi Episode 3 - God and Dice Should Both Be Silent [Ch 5-6]
Rika has to make a choice, and the responsibility for that choice cannot burden anyone but herself. Will she kill her mother and return to the world she fought for, or will she live in this world and attempt to improve herself here? Is she a human, or a witch? Perhaps a certain orange haired street magician has the answers...
This week on Backlog Dialogues, we accept the world we are in, and bid farewell to witches.

Higurashi When They Cry Rei - Saikoroshi Episode 2 - The Rika Westphall Hypothesis [Ch 3-4]
In her search for the fragment that prevents Hanyuu from finding her, Rika's depersonalization continues as she lashes out at Satoko for bullying her. Is this world real, or is the world she came from a fabrication of this world's Rika's sad mind? Rika consults Doctor Yamamoto, setting off a chain of events that leads to both the possibility of this world's Rika finding happiness but also a terrible truth that provides Bernkastel a way out.
This week on Backlog Dialogues, we get a little heretical.

Higurashi When They Cry Rei - Saikoroshi Episode 1 - Dumb Ways to Die [Ch 1-2]
Rika has arrived at the 1983 of her dreams, and is riding high off the success. But in her arrogance, she fails to remember the important lessons from train safety PSAs and plays in traffic, finding herself in a nightmare bizarro Hinamizawa where no one likes her and Hanyuu isn't around. Can Rika find her way out of the labyrinth and back to her world again? It's time for the coda of Higurashi, Saikoroshi, and its far more introspective mood.
This week on Backlog Dialogues, we talk about being safe around vehicles.
Backlog Dialogues is the nerd culture podcast where we dig you out of your backlog, BEFORE it buries you.
We attempt to bring a literary eye to nerd culture media, like video games, films, TV shows, and more. Think of us like a book club, but for video games and other types of media. Our second backlog-buster is: When They Cry!
