Axe of the Blood God is our weekly RPG podcast hosted by Kat Bailey and Nadia Oxford. You can find the previous episodes here.
In this week's episode of Axe of the Blood God (download link here), we get riled up about lists, talk Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia, and let newcomer Matt Kim make his case for Nier: Automata being the Game of the Year.
I've already said my piece about Skyrim, but I have plenty more to rant about on the pod, with my focus being on Mass Effect 2 in particular. Matt also joins us to talk about Nier: Automata, Dark Souls, and Final Fantasy XIV!
