Hey Gene, there actually is a Witcher spinoff game. It’s called Thronebreaker and it’s quite good, definitely worth checking out

Micah, look into open-back headphones. You can hear yourself while you talk and it’s much less disorienting than typical closed-back headphones.

I beat Brothership, and that game may have the worst pacing in a video game that I have played in decades. This game should’ve been 20 hours. The padding at the end got too ridiculous.

I’m a massive Pokemon fan, played every game multiple times and even have a tattoo of a poke ball on my ankle. I played the shit out of LA when it came out, beat the main game only to realise I had to capture every Pokemon in the game to unlock the real ending, at which point I said no i’m out, I went back to play LA twice since then and I can’t get more than a few hours into it… I personally think it is horrible now, from how it runs, to the over-world, to the repetitive quests, etc. Scarlet / Violet, despite their horrific performances, are miles clear for me, even though I have huge issues with the games, they just made the world so much more interesting to explore even if it had a lack of landmarks, explorable towns / cities, etc.

As a gamer i feel that OSTs are super important to the gameplay of a game. Blasphemous series, Octopath series, Messenger, Deaths Door and even a game like Narita Boy are all games that are elevated by their soundtracks. Pokémon Arceus is one of those games. When i heard the song “The Heartwood” while playing Arceus it instantly became a special game for me. It just added to the chill vibe to the game and I am looking forward to how they can improve on this series in ZA.

The Pokemon game Micah played is either X or Y. Her starter was Fennekin, the fire fox. It’s final evolution, Delphox, is Fire/Psychic and kinda looks like a witch. 😅

Have had these headphones for years and can vouch that they are top class. Use them daily and battery is still awesome too

Highly recommend the Sony XM4s Gene, some of the best headphones I have ever owned. Great sound and noise cancellation, very comfortable

If you haven’t played any Mario & Luigi games and Brothership sounds too long, I think you can’t go wrong with Superstar Saga on GBA NSO. It’s lean and mean. I prefer it to Paper Mario.
