Welcome to episode number 3 of The Art of Gaming! On this week's episode Michael is joined by his west coast brother Matt "Studtrooper" Mooney and they talk about a beloved entry in an even more beloved franchise, Final Fantasy VIII. In a special Skype discussion Michael was able to talk to the only other person in the country who loves this game just as much as he does and they delve into the mystique that is this game and consider why this game just didn't seem to capture the hearts of the masses still smitten by its predecessor, Final Fantasy VII.
