I order my retro games from eBay because I can look at pictures of the actual item I’m ordering. Then I can go with one that has the least damage to the booklet and everything. It’s kind of a fun scavenger hunt in a way haha
This episode started out strong and fun, but when the video game lore conversation came up it quickly became really hard to listen to. I play plenty of games were storyline does matter. Story is a key part in any RPG/JRPG/CRPG. You litteraly are taking up a role and playing out the storyline. Chrono Trigger has a great story. You start out as a kid who is sent through time to save the princess and then get put on trial for kidnapping her. You escape from jail by going through a time portal to the future to get away, but soon find out there is a bigger problem coming to end the world. You meet a bunch of people along the way and learn their individual stories, help them deal with problems in their timelines and in the end band together to save the world. The game is deeper than I described. If story didn't matter than what is the point of making and playing a JRPG with that depth. You could just save your money, go put on Spotify and play a board game instead.
Another interesting episode! Haha! Been enjoying this podcast since the beginning! One bit of constructive criticism, pleas refrain from using God or Jesus’ names as curse words. In lieu of using the Creator’s name in vain, there are a plethora or other words that could be said. “Oh my gosh”, “goodness,” etc. And, depending on the context, one might say, “are you serious?” “Come on!” And things of that mature. Here is something to consider: think about your Mom, and how kind and caring she is. But, in a moment of anger you use her name as an expletive. How strange and off putting would that be?! Now, think about the King of Kings, and how much more serious that would be? He loves us more than even our own parents can! Thank you for your time, and I hope you guys have a blessed day!
IN A WAY, I can kinda understand why Gamestop does that. They probably receive several loose titles, so they don't even have a case, so they put them in these generic Gamestop cases, both for protection and for shipping and stuff. I mean, unless they actually advertised it as being Complete In Box (CIB), then that doesn't seem like THAT egregious to me. I mean the cases are ugly, but would you rather have that, or have them just send the disc in a little paper sleeve in the mail? The former is probably a lot better. Now, if they actually advertised them as CIB and then they sent you that garbage, then yeah, that is unacceptable. And generally speaking, I agree, Gamestop is garbage.

Johniibo was especially grumpy this week.

I wish this was a live chat, because I would have been HECKLING Johnny.
you'd be wrong
*Johnny whenever Cheezy makes a point:* “I don’t care.”
I’m glad you see it from my side

I'm sorry but that dude is ANNOYING 🤦♂️
Rude to talk about Cheezy that way
These are some of Johnny's worst takes ever. "90% of people don't care" 🧐
nah I've had worse
