Yakuza 2 gives us a little peek of the weirdness and xenophobia before it blasts us with both barrels. We have a new least favorite cop character, which is quite the feat considering there's now three of them all vying for screentime. Jordan likes the doppelganger plot so much he decides to see another one on the side, and I take no pleasure in saying this but Argyle encounters what can only be described as mommy milkers.

Sotenbori has been nice, but we're back in Kamurocho this week for Chapter 5 of Yakuza 2: Hidden Past! Kiryu has to pay a visit to the Cool Boardroom and reunites with someone who has been suspiciously absent from this game. He also meets some pro-wrestling legends. This week, we're talking about the Yakuza Hard Rock Cafe, horny Morrowind mods, and Sayama snafus. Activate extreme heat mode! Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

Kiryu has to avoid content at all costs or risk the death of his new cop acquaintance! Once that's been averted, we've got some busywork that thankfully doesn't involve actually playing mahjong. On the side, Jordan gets a very convenient sum of money and Argyle meets an old friend. Do not worry about Chairman Goda, the A/C is on, he has a Happy Meal, and is listening to Judgement Shinpan.

We're back on the mean streets of Sotenbori for Chapter 3 of Yakuza 2: The Yakuza Huntress...or is it the Yakuza Eater? No one is quite sure. Kiryu has his fated meeting with Omi Alliance Chairman Jin Goda and it turns out he was a lot nicer than we thought he was going to be! This week, we're talking about Kiryu poses, doing the wave, comfortable seating, and Chekov's Chandelier. Watch out for Couch Guys! Argyle | Jordan Twitter | Discord A Noise Space Podcast

It's Yakuza... 2! Chapter... 2! This week, we make our long overdue return to Sotenbori and the Cabaret Grand to meet perhaps the single best antagonist in the entire series. He's large, he's blonde, and he's so fucking cool dude holy shit. On the side we discuss some further changes to the series formula in the Dragon Engine, and learn how to relieve ourselves and have fun at the same time. I'm starting to see the appeal...
