What's the most money you've ever spent on one game and, in retrospect, do you think it was money well spent? (This question brought to you by my steadily growing Genshin Impact budget, which is still light years behind my Simpsons: Tapped Out money pit.)

Howdy cohorts! I gotta say the most underappreciated game of 2020 is Mario 35. Is it perfect? Of course not. But I feel like it didn't even make a splash, and it certainly deserves better than that. It is a fantastic twist on the proven classic formula of Super Mario Bros 1, with levels showing up in random order, a fast paced clock ticking down forcing you to perform well to add to the timer, and all enemies you kill being sent over to other people's games (and vice versa) which leads to some amazing challenges to overcome like a wall of Bowsers or waves of Lakitus showing up in literally any level. I've put 30+ hours into this game, beating every level, winning 45 times and even unlocking Luigi as a secret playable character. This is up there with my favorite games of 2020, and yes a lot of it is just a nostalgia trip for Mario Bros 1, but this battle royale twist on it brings enough new to the table that it deserves a spotlight. Thanks

One of the most underappreciated games of the year is Predator Hunting Grounds. I had a ton of fun playing it earlier this year with friends and picked it up again recently. It came out around when COVID lockdowns began and it was a great way to spend time with friends.

I was mulling over the space game “Observation” which came out on Xbox One this year, and how it was under appreciated.. but while thinking about space, and the game, I went down the rabbit hole... I thought this might be enjoyable, for perspective, and because number crunching is the best way to help our little tiny baby minds better comprehend knowledge that is, frankly, beyond our ken. The andromeda galaxy is ~2.5 million light years away. Light travels at ~168,000 miles per second. 168,000 multiplied by 60 seconds in a minute, multiplied by 60 minutes in an hour, multiplied by 24 hours in a day, multiplied by 7 days in a week, multiplied by 52 weeks in a year... So by those calculations, light travels ~6 trillion miles per year. So 6 trillion multiplied by 2.5 million light years away equals a number I don’t know how to say. That is how far the andromeda galaxy is from Earth. Let’s say we got in a rocket ship to get there, traveling 18,000 miles per hour. Divide the incomprehensibly large number of miles Earth is from andromeda galaxy, by 18,000 miles per hour, and you get an unbelievably large number still, for how many hours it would take to get to andromeda in a rocket. Divide that number by 24 hours in a day and you get ~34.7 trillion days to reach andromeda at 18,000 miles per hour. Divide that by 364 days in a year and it would take ~95.4 billion years to reach andromeda. The universe is (if you can believe it) only ~13.8 billion years old. So if we had a rocket with infinite resources, and nothing killed us on the way, we could reach andromeda in the time it would take the universe to live out the entirety of its 13.8 billion year existence, another 6.9 times over. If humans lived consistent 120 year life spans, when we finally got to the andromeda galaxy, from the first pilot on Earth to begin the journey in the rocket ship, to the DISTANT descendant that finally got there, 800 million+ generations of families would have come and gone on that rocket, through the long gone eons of time immemorial. What a journey... andromeda might have changed a little bit by the time we got there, and we may no longer even look like humans, or speak the same language, or even know who started the journey in the first place, nor why... but, all the same, what a view! Anyway, thought experiments and number crunching are fun! And, when regarding the cosmos, a bottomless spring, from which an infinite amount of existential dread may be drawn from to haunt our small, infinitesimal, so-brief-they-could-be-said-to-have-never-happened-at-all, little, tiny, human, baby lives... Here’s to Earth!

Happy holidays to Hanson and his fellow merry crew. I recently started Assassins Creed Valhalla and found myself enjoying it. During my time, I’ve found myself using weapons that are more appealing to me either visually or gameplay wise. This means not actively equipping the gear with the highest stats or most damage. Do any of you find yourself using guns, swords, armor, or gear in other games that are objectively weaker intentionally?

Hey friends, with games like Yakuza Like a Dragon making big changes in regards to its fighting system and being well regarded, what other franchises would you guys like to see get this treatment and overhaul their gameplay for the next entry?

Hey friends! Recently Leo completely ruined Cyberpunk 2077 for me with that major Meep Morp spoiler. Rude! Anyway, have you ever had anything spoiled that actually hindered your enjoyment of the thing itself?

Helllloo B.H. And dem doodes. Why aren’t there more superhero games? There is a deep well of phenomenal comic book characters that have not been in a video game or at least a modern game. Where is my Green Arrow game that is basically just Far Cry 3? Where is my Green Lantern Corps game that is an epic space adventure? Where is my Hitman style Punisher game that is super dark and full of violence and moral ambiguity? Where is my Moon Knight game that dives into trippy Egyptian mythology and mental illness as I fight crime in an open world?! Do I have to go make these games myself?! Am I the only one that wants obscure but amazing superhero video games?! Are these good sounding games or am I alone here? Can you think of any not so obvious comic book characters that would fit well in a video game?

Hey, Ben and crew. Are virtual horses in danger of losing their jobs? With the new consoles making fast travel actually fast, as well as allowing for faster traversal across a world, will this change how players explore a world? and what, if any impact to you think it will have on game design? Just personally, I noticed myself using fast travel a heck of a lot more than I usually do when I was cleaning up collectables in Miles Morales, and I couldn't help but wonder if I was missing out on some of the small secrets hidden across the city by doing so.

Hey guys, When pizza is on a bagel can you truly eat pizza anytime?
