Genuine question: can you hug your child in the game? Like is there a “press X to show affection for your son”? I just feel like more video game kids would grow up to be healthy members of video game society if their video game parents could press x to hug them.

Those aren’t his two top picks. Those are just two movies he recently said he liked, in separate interviews, completely unrelated to this podcast. The author is trying to draw a connection here and doing a lot of editorial hypothesizing. 

Those aren’t his two choices for great movies of this era. The author of this piece is taking unrelated pull-quotes from separate interviews and using those as a sort of “answer” to the statement he made in this podcast. A statement which, let’s be honest, is just kind of a flippant throway line at the top of the…

Laura Dern kicks all the ass. So does Jamie Lee Curtis.

Which is ironic since Jesus was famously given presents.

At one point he 1000% believed he could’ve been a professional baseball player, I’m sure of it. 

I don’t think court rooms have a “show me before you post that” policy. 

“We’ve tried nothin’, and we’re all out of ideas!”

I do feel bad for women who develop early and suddenly get all this unwanted attention, just for having large breasts. I knew a girl like that growing up; hit high school and suddenly she’s getting noticed by everyone: the boys, the girls, even the teachers. Throughout high school she was both loved and hated, popular…

I think it’s pretty cool that they basically made a series of comic book movies that aren’t actually based on comic books. Hopefully we see more original stories span series like this!

Alex Garland and Robert Eggers are that for me now. 

If it’s even half as good as Mario Golf on the Game Boy Color, then I will be a very happy boy. 

Golf Story is now on sale on the Nintendo eShop! Stoked to finally try it before Sports Story comes out. Really, really excited about Inscryption too, and actually kinda stoked for A Little to the Left of all games? WrestleQuest looks fun, Storyteller, Botany Manor too.

Bruh...this look AWESOME. Thanks for introducing me!

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Nick Offerman was right there for the voice of Garfield. 

You nailed it! Combat was a chore, especially with two-handed weapons. They take way too long to swing, and they leave you incredibly vulnerable to attack. And yet all you can ever find are two-handed weapons, so then when you do find a one-handed weapon and a decent shield, you finally get to try the parry/dodge…

Haha you mean open zone game, it’s an open zone game, we all know that, right? Haha no one said open “world” nope, clearly said zone. Open zone.

Mass Effect RPG but instead of saving the world and killing everyone you just, like, run a bar on the New Citadel or something and get to interact with all the people and solve little mysteries and puzzles and also run your bar and who knows maybe you get to romance an alien or two.

I’m curious what didn’t work for you in BotW on your 2nd playthrough because I found a lot of stuff didn’t work for me on my first playthrough. (We can probably gloss over the weapon deterioration which is just annoying as fuck)

Came here to say the exact same thing. Winback started it all.
