VG247’s The Best Games Ever Podcast – Ep.15: Best game with a wedding in it

-

I’ll come clean. I’m writing this well in advance of publication as I’m going on holiday. I usually spend literal minutes coming up with a brilliant way to segue into the topic of the week’s podcast. It is often very brilliant and hilarious.

The relationship between me and the podcast article is complicated. It’s not easy. It requires work for it to be the best it can be. You can’t just turn up and hope to have a great podcast article without trying your hardest.

Sometimes I even hold a little ceremony before I write the article, just to show how serious I am about writing it. It’s a big deal, so I have to make sure I’ve thought it through properly. But I’m not doing that today, because of the holiday reason I mentioned above – a holiday I’m taking after writing the article, which is in no way related to the topic of the podcast.

Welcome to the VG247 Best Games Ever Podcast, Episode 15: Best game with a wedding in it.

If we don’t come up with some new ideas soon we’ll have to create some kind of device for Jim’s cat to use that converts cat thoughts into concepts humans can understand.

“What is VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast?” you ask while wondering what that intro was all about. Marriage, weddings, OK?! Get it now? It wasn’t labored at all. Anyway, this podcast, which is why you’re on this page, is essentially a 30-minute panel show where people (me and some others on VG247) decide on the best game in a specific category. That’s it. It’s good. Listen to it.

We’ve got some details on the show’s content below (if you want to get a refresher before heading to the comments to make a wonderful, considered post or don’t want to listen but do want to know what games we picked), so if you want to avoid spoilers, don’t scroll past this fan-made creation of what Chris Bratt would look like if he was a Super Mario Odyssey Mario wedding Amiibo.

The Best game with a wedding in it

This is the topic of Episode fifteen of VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast. Here’s a rundown of who picked what.

Tom – Super Mario Odyssey


I think this is the best wedding scene in a video game, not only because of the journey to it on the Moon, but also the action sequences that follow and Peach’s decision at the end of it all. Absolutely brilliant, and anyone who, for example, chooses a farming game over this is simply wrong.

Alex – Final Fantasy IX


This is Alex, resident JRPG fan/nerd. This definitely isn’t Tom pretending to be Alex. Final Fantasy rules! All JRPGs are wonderful, but Final Fantasy IX is even more wonderful thanks to its wedding sequence. Turn-based weddings are the best!

Kelsey – Stardew Valley


Stardew Valley is the stylised farming simulator that combines all of the best bits from games like Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, and more. In this sim, though, harvesting your crops and working tirelessly in the mines isn’t all that there is to do. There’s also 12 marriage candidates to choose from, get to know, and live happily ever after alongside until you divorce them so that you can marry another. You don’t simply have to be a farmer, but you can be a serial wedder too.

Come back in a week for another episode of VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast.

Otium Salad with Roasted Radishes and Shaved Asparagus Recipe

Do you know what Otium means? Otium is the Latin word for virtuous leisure , a time free of obligation that is spent in contemplation, and the cultivation of one’s spirit. This is a concept that resonates with me deeply, as I have become more and more interested in personal development and mind management these past few years, a passion that has led me to create a podcast and a life coaching practice , for which I am about to get certified. Otium is also the name of a small vegetarian café in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, in the SoPi neighborhood ( more about that here ), on rue de La Rochefoucauld , a seventeenth-century writer who is known for clever maxims that would certainly keep your mind productively occupied during your otium time. I first stumbled upon it some months ago, and thought the space stylish and the food very very good. And because it isn’t far from my shared office space , I occasionally treat myself to a bowl of something that will keep me energized an...

North Korea remains defiant after firing two more ballistic missiles despite protests and military drills from US, Japan, and South Korea

-
The North Korean military said they fired two short-range ballistic missiles from the Munchon area of Kangwon Province into the waters off the peninsula’s eastern coast, the South Korean military said. The missiles were launched between 1:47 a.m. and 1:53 a.m. local time Sunday, according to Japan’s State Minister of Defense, Toshiro Ino. Both missiles fell outside Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone, Ino added. The first missile is estimated to have flown about 350 kilometers, or 217 miles, at a maximum altitude of approximately 100 kilometers, or 62 miles, according to Ino. The second traveled about the same distance. Ino noted there were no reports of damage to vessels at sea, but the defense ministry is still analyzing the details and investigating what kind of missiles were launched, including the possibility they were submarine-launched ballistic missiles. The South Korean military has strengthened its surveillance and vigilance and maintained a full readiness posture while clo...

US can no longer use nuclear weapons to threaten or deter China from invading Taiwan, the report said

-
A US attempt to win a nuclear arms race with China would be “an exercise in futility”, a think tank has said. A report from the Brookings Institution also warned that the US had lost its conventional military supremacy over China in East Asia, making it harder to deter any attack on Taiwan. Concern that Beijing will use force to bring the island under its control is growing in Washington with General Anthony Cotton, the nominee to head the Pentagon’s nuclear operations, telling a Senate committee that he agreed nuclear weapons could help deter such a move. The report published on Tuesday argued that the apparent pace of China’s nuclear expansion might make it more confident about using conventional force, but for the US, a war with China over Taiwan would “almost inevitably raise risks of both inadvertent and deliberate nuclear escalation”. Until recently China was believed to have around 200 to 300 deliverable nuclear warheads, compared with the more than 4,000 held by the US and...
