Hey fam! What's your favorite game manual? I know manuals are a relic of the past, but I have fond memories of some. Some were often pretty elaborate, especially big box PC games. Would often take them to school to kill time. Some of mine include Final Fantasy 7 (the thing was beautiful, full color and like 70 pages!), any of the Blizzard games and Ultima Online.

How do you feel about “dailies” in a lot of these current video games? I feel they are getting pretty annoying. I don’t even play Genshin Impact, haven’t played since the first week, yet I often log in to just get my daily rewards.

Hi friends, I managed to preorder a PS5 with almost no problem in Ukraine. I say almost because although there was no rush or risk of them selling out immediately, it was one of the weirdest/worst customer service experiences I ever had. It started when the website would not accept my card, so I called up the store and asked them if I could pay with cash in person, the clerk said I have to call administration and immediately hung up before I could ask for the number. When I called back, they proceeded to pick up and hang up the phone numerous times (probably about ten in all), even one time letting the call go without actually talking for about thirty second before hanging up again. After finding the number myself I learn I can indeed do this, and when I go to preorder it in person the workers are simply baffled by the idea of preordering a console instead of waiting for it to come out (more funny than an example of bad customer service). I had to tell them I was quite aware when the system was coming out and I knew I had to wait until November 19th. All of these exchanges were in Ukrainian as well (though the clerk might have been speaking Russian). This brings me to my question for the panel, what are some of the most ridiculously hilarious or horrible customer service experiences you've had in game stores?

Hello Ben and the CLC's! Hope y'all are staying in high spirits in these tumultuous times. So I know everyone is bummed out by the delay of Cyberpunk 2077, but fortunately the physical edition of the Tabletop RPG Cyberpunk Red is still set to release right around November 19th. I currently have it pre-ordered and am eagerly awaiting it's arrival so I can run a game with my friends. So my question is: Does anyone at the panel plan on playing Cyberpunk Red? Additionally: What are some other TTRPG's that you folks would recommend that others play? My suggestion would be Corvus Belli: Infinity. It's a fun, easy to pick up and play game that takes place roughly 400 years in the future. It has some fantasy elements to it but is very much a sci-fi D&D style game. Thanks so much for all the great content!

With the attention given to back-compat for the new systems, is it time to finally get rid of the old systems collecting dust in the closet? I'm never going to hook up the original Xbox again, right? Right?! Or will I instantly regret it? What's your take on keeping old systems forever?

Howdy crew! What franchise across any media do you think has the best names?  My money is on Star Wars, there's just something about their naming convention. Mace Windu , Mara Jade, Jek Porkins,  Kit Fisto  They are unique names that makes you acknowledge "yeah that's a Star Wars name"

Do you have multiple copies of the same game? If so what do you have the most of and on which platforms? I have owned RE4 on Gamecube, PS2, Wii, PS3, PS4, and Switch. I have Dark Souls on PS3, 360 (without the DLC), PS4, and Switch. I really wish publishers would just let you transfer your license to another platform for a nominal fee.

Hey friends! What’s been your favorite go-to meal during quarantine? I wish I could say I’ve taken the time to learn how to cook, but it’s so much easier to order from this noodle place right up the road. I get the spaghetti with too much garlic bread and I’m happy every time.

What's the best game no one's ever heard of? Mine is probably Lego Racers for the PS1, a super fun kart racer with the ability to build your own kart, and had a really cool mechanic where certain shortcuts were tied to specific powerups (i.e. you could only bring down a power grid if you had the lightning powerup) . It's also the only game my mom has ever been into

This would be awesome, especially for the Switch, having a portable copy but a better big screen experience on Xbox/PS/PC
