Mad Centaur Productions

What do you get when you combine jRPG veteran Russ McGallian, with enthusiastic jRPG amateur Jeff Hillary, and mix in a healthy dose of video game music expert Chris Taylor? Mostly chaos. But occasionally they produce an in depth analysis of the jRPGs you love, hate, or never even heard of. Listen to them as they play through every jRPG ever made (they may die of old age before they finish).
