The Big Topic: World of Final Fantasy's bizarre charms and off putting repetition
Further Discussion: Gears of War 4 and the changing gaming landscape
What we’re into: Unconventionally scary games and movies

Happy Halloween, everyone! We celebrate the spookiest of holidays with some recommendations of our favorite games and movies with unconventional scares. David also talks about his review of World of Final Fantasy, a game which attempts to introduce new players to all of the series' strange mannerisms while being a nostalgia overload for long-time fans. We also briefly discuss Gears of War 4 and a gaming landscape that's shifting between big AAA blockbusters and smaller, independently developed titles. We even take a few reader questions!
