Hi Pals, did you ever pee your pants as a kid because you were playing video games and were either too into the action or it was multiplayer and you knew an older relative or sibling would unpause it while you were away taking care of business? If not, then I totally never did either.

Hey guys! I have a podcast centered question. I feel like I listen to too many podcasts and it’s hard to keep up. I’m so behind to the point that I’m just now listening to the episode where you all are talking about Ghosts of Tshumia/Leo being introduced. Do any of you feel that you listen to too many podcasts? Is there an order you listen to podcasts if you fall behind? (Release date regardless of show? Release date intertwining shows?)

Hello you CLCs, this question may be kind of a downer but I would really appreciate your advice. I just found out that I'm getting laid off this friday and thought you guys could help since most of you already made it through a similar situation. This was my first real job out of college and I moved several states away from home for it. My spirits are high and I'm still supporting you guys but could use some help picturing what comes next when the paychecks stop.

Hello CLCs, I have a simple question. Has Nintendo announced any first party games for this holiday season that isn't a remaster or rerelease? They've had multiple partner showcases but nothing new coming from them. Remasters are cool and all but, in my opinion, Nintendo hasn't announced anything truly exciting for this year.

Now that both the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X pre-orders have gone live, looking back do you think there was anything that either Sony or Microsoft could have done better to make the process smoother for consumers, especially in light of the Covid-19 situation that we all live in? People seem to be very upset across social media, but I can't help but think if you're only option to pre-order something is on a website, and millions of people visit that site at the same time, there are going to be problems. Is it possible to head that off? Also, is there anything that can be done about the bots that allegedly buy up so many of the pre-orders?

Hey all, who is your favorite or most surprising celebrity guest voice in a game, is it Michael Ironside, Mickey Rourke? Mine would be Eliza Dushku in wet. What a weird appearance that was. Thanks for all you do.

Two quick questions for Mary. What is your favorite just dance song to dance to and which horror game have you recently played that you absolutely loved?

I am way more frustrated than any rational adult should be about Final Fantasy XVI turning into Devil May Cry-lite, though it seems that this is generally being celebrated. When was the last time that your opinion was so divorced from the gaming consensus that you felt like you were taking crazy pills?

I’ve been playing a whole lot of Hades lately and I continue to be shocked by the amount of story content that is in that game. It keeps me running more and more to unravel more short dialogs with the colorful characters. Story is newly being used to propel many genres these days from MyPlayer modes in sports titles to roguelikes. What’s genre would benefit the most from leaning on story more? Battle royales? Hero shooters? Tetris?

Hey MinnMax, Geoff Keighley recently announced that The Game Awards will take place on Dec. 10th. He also tweeted that no nomination deadline has been set which is a big deal because of Cyberpunk 2077. Do you think Cyberpunk should be included in this years game awards? My argument is no because you wouldn't be giving the jury and the public an adequate amount of time to play and digest the game. Curious on the panels thoughts because people on Twitter seem to completely disagree with me.

I juat grabbed this on Switch. I refunded it on Pc once I knew it was coming. It strikes me as an awesome TV game. I’ve loved all of SG games so hopefully this clicks.

I think Sega is next in the crosshairs. Microsoft could use a foothold in Japan.
