hey ben. in FF7 when i finished those side quests in chapter 3 i got a bonus scene of Tifa and Cloud talking in her room. did you see that if you didn’t complete the side quests. its not a huge scene but its some back story stuff and it seems like the kind of thing you would want to see.
The Lego segment really surprised me! I've never especially connected with the Lego games so I wasn't expecting to get much out of it but both Graham and Griffin brought a great energy and unique background. I loved it! Also I do have a small and sorta awkward nitpick, and obviously I don't know your relationship with each other but Ben be nicer to Kyle about his daughter! I feel like things can get a little weird between you two whenever he tells a story about her. Anyways, great show as always! Keep up the good work
Like the opening music for this episode. Liked the old one too and hope it gets used in some way!

Can we please stop doing visual GALOTs? They don't work for an audio podcast. Thanks

Super hot and Audica are good workout-ish PSVR games like Beat Saber. Not as intense as Beat Saber, but pretty decent cardio
Thom Blackburn
I liked the intro music in this one!
Taylor Owens
That was easy. It would have been a lot easier if you could do that from the Patreon app where I’ve been trying to find it for weeks. Get on it Patreon!

Hey Taylor, don't do that! Here's an explanation for you, let me know if you get stuck. https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/212055866-Subscribe-using-my-custom-audio-RSS-link

Haha, not a chance!

Hanson. Just for me, just once, I want to hear you say "Final Fantasy Seven" on mic. The whole thing. All the syllables. Pretty please.
Taylor Owens
I listen directly from the Patreon app, because I don’t know where to find the RSS feed!l. It sucks!
Ben Hanson
Thanks for listening, Jesse!
Jesse Jones
Loved the segment with Griffin and Graham! Thanks Ben and the cohorts for all of the hard work, especially lately with keeping us entertained through a not-so-entertaining time!

Good point about Sony still having AAA exclusives to market for PS4 this year. I think that probably is the biggest reason for the different next gen marketing strategies so far.
