Abnormal Mapping 151: Shenmue

We’ve been doing this for ten years! Damn, that’s a long time to
be doing a monthly game club. But we’ll keep trucking into our
second decade as we start a series that neither of us have played
before. We’re joined by a guest, Shenmue superfan Dia Lacina, to
talk about Ryo and his ridiculous quest for vengeance. Please
enjoy this supersized episode, and thank you for however long
you’ve been listening!


Thank you so much as always for listening, please rate and review
the podcast, and tell all your friends on whatever social media
you call home that they should check us out. See you next month!


Send us questions about our game clubs, other games, or gaming in
general to abnormalmappingpodcast@gmail.com!
