Eastern Motors commercials were generational Edit to add: the Arby’s gyro commercial is GOLDEN
Hated andromeda, it was such a step down from the OG trilogy imo. I do appreciate the breakdown but sounds like I’ll be skipping The Veilguard. Hopefully BioWare will have ME5 be a more polished product and they take the criticism of this game seriously!
Thanks for the forecast! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Micah looks like a black Asmongold😭
Yes it is BS
That’s Bullshit!!! #FireDavidZaslav #BoycottWBD
Commenting to show support. Appreciate you guys!
Assassin Creed was never historically accurate. People just complaining because the character is BLACK
he was never a samurai and no amount of name calling will ever change that
Fortunately There's enough native japanese people That feel like you're full of shit. And agree That Yasuke was indeed A Samurai the first foreign Samurai. Go cry in the corner😂
lmfao okay "cornball mcgoo"
@@supitscarrie did you know an "ad hominin" attack is a logical fallacy? flaws in logic are a sign of mental retardation.
@@supitscarrie ad hominin is a logical fallacy

This was boring.
One more think about Okami it came out the same year as Twilight Princess and I'm say this. It's a better and funnier game than Twilight. Yeah i said it 😊😅.
Hi guy's, long time fan. I recently replayed Okami on my PS4. I LOVE This game. It's a very underrated game that doesn't get ANY Love from anyone. Have any of you guys played it?and if so what did you think of it? Also can you each name a underrated game you guys love that the general public doesn't know about?
My Draft would have been: Parasite Eve, Rival Schools, Grandia, Twisted Metal, Hybrid Heaven, Chrono Cross, Soul Reaver, Tomb Raider.
Congrats on 500 episodes!! Huge Milestone.

Micah’s long, disapproving stare into the camera at 25:50
How does one prepare to move across the country?
Get me on the podcast! Id love to talk souls with you guys.
Это видео мне подняло настроение))0)
I hope you Guy's talk about Sea of Stars soon. That's a very COOL game. PLEASE do a short review.
You didn't play BLOODBORNE before ELDEN?!! Mannnnn Bloodborne started it all for me man! Its impossible not to like it! Enjoying the pod thanks for this! Glad i clicked
rubber baby buggy bumpers....good show fellas
Shoutout to Brad for rushing home from The Sound of Freedom to record this week’s episode
*promosm* 😜
All this fighting game talk got me thinking... does anyone remember when Dead or Alive 2 and 3 were actually good fighting games before they devolved into complete jiggle physics games? Or was I the only person who turned those down and actually played the game?
have you not heard?!.... its 30fps... LMAO in 2023!!! the "most ambitious game of all time" is THIRTY FRAMES A SECOND... LIKE FUCKING GOLDENEYE!!!! BAAAAHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Great episode!
I was really hoping Halo Infinite would give me countless hours like Halo 2 and 3 did back in the day but it doesn't even hold a candle to the older games.
Been a fan a long time! I always watch the UA-cam version as well hoping yall make it big enough to retire the Amazon adds
we can only hope! Call us, Manscaped!
Is this a two parter?
No Switch Pro?
Just got my coffee and ready to start my week off right with the DPP 😁
Legend of Zelda nuts and bolts
Brad, That recap was beautiful, I'm not even a fan of wrastling like that, and even I was moved. Nice job!
Great way to start the day, got my coffee and ready to chill for the next hour 🙌🏽
My go back games are City Skylines and tekken 7
Great convo, as always. the discussion about the employee ratings hit home. I have a friend that's a manager over a great team where everyone pulls their weight, and very talented individuals but my friend could not give them all high ratings (because of pay bonuses for high ratings) so she had to otherwise give someone lower points because the department head doesn't believe everyone can be rated highly (also because money ofc). It's crazy out here in the workforce.
Now you should watch the monster hunter movie 😅
Really hope gamefreak and nintendo dont let those sales numbers got to their heads. We need those patches and QoL improvements. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
I was running around a cave and came across a lv 75 lucario that swept my whole team (party in the 40s at the time) and couldnt run away, got it down half way and threw a yolo dusk ball and caught it, but couldn't command him until i got my 8th gym badge.

Where is rainbow six siege2 at? LOL
imcoming glizzy memes 🤣
I remember Destiny killing my interest in new IPs and live service games years ago after that first season pass joke. Over time, this extended to older IPs now. Infinite has basically been the straw that's driving me to leave the ""gaming community"". It's lost. Dead. Time to exit. -hyper focused on competitive rather than fun -broken on release, never fully fixed even years later -new content is just stuff that should have dropped with the initial release -games are trying to steal as much time from you as possible through "progression systems" -microtrans customization always leads to making the game LOOK like a joke with dancing, poses, cat ears and other cringe So I agree, Infinite represents everything wrong in the industry. Video games could have grown to be much more but now it's just a dead end. It's sad.
Hunt Showdown is a game with cosmetics that actually add to the experience
Why does the guy on the bottom look like a render ?
Halo and Gears are cursed. The 3rd game were their peak and everything after has just been downhill
No doubt Elden Ring is sweeping game of the year
I sold that chainsaw controller for 200 on ebay so no it had a use
Micah is the real MVP for looking at the sports calendar and keeping a straight face for the testimonial.
Burnout 3: Takedown soundtrack is still straight solar flare fire.
