Hey Guys, In honour of John Williams' birthday the other day: who is the John Williams of video games? Nobuo Uematsu? Koji Kondo? Austin Wintory? If there's no one on Williams' level, who would be the four Mount Rushmore heads? Keep up the good work, Jonathan

Howdy cohorts! I’m currently about halfway through AC Valhalla. I never usually use a horse or even a car when you have to call it to you (ala Cyberpunk 2077, GTA, etc) I almost always play on foot to soak in the world and immerse myself. But I have to say I am constantly using my horse in AC, and the same with Ghost of Tsushima recently. So my question is, is there a mechanic that’s been around forever that you never used or just never utilized that a certain game changed your mind and play a game differently than you normally would? ps. Hanson what do you think of the new AFI tracks?

Helloooooo MinnMax! My wife and I just finished watching Cobra Kai on Netflix and thoroughly enjoyed it. While neither one of us we’re big fans of the Karate Kid movies, I feel like this show elevated the core concept to new levels. What other movies or shows from the past could benefit from a reimagining, whether in the form of a new series or game? Are there any movies that you feel concepts remain unexplored that you would like to see?

If a publisher gave you a choice to kill one of their current franchises in order to resurrect one of their dead franchises; which franchise would you kill and what would you bring back? (It has to be the same publisher. No killing an EA game to resurrect something Square did.) I would kill DOA beach volleyball extreme (Or whatever) and bring back Ninja Gaiden)

I recently had a unique gaming experience. I have been obsessed with the sound track to sayonara wild hearts ever since Kyle talked about it a couple of years ago in a best songs of the year chat. Finally a couple of weeks ago I bought the game on switch and loved it. It was a truly novel feeling knowing every song so well and then finding out how the gameplay matched the music. Have any of you ever been obsessed with a game soundtrack before playing the game.

Hey Ben and all the CLCs. Do you have any nostalgia for PUBG at this point? The adventures of the Spider and Dan the floorboard assassin Tack was some of my favorite online content ever and I miss the heyday of PUBG. My cousins and I re-downloaded it since we're feeling nostalgic for the janky hijinks that only PUBG delivers and it's fun but it definitely doesn't compare to the magical days of discovering Erangel. Do you think there will be a PUBG2, it's a bizarre universe that they seem committed to expanding but sadly it feels like they'll be relegated to a footnote in the gaming history books.

Hello Cohorts! With all the news coming out about current gen (PS5 Xbox Series X) updates/patches coming to last gen games, are there any in particular you are looking forward to? Any that will make you go back and play the game? And in another vein any that you wish they would update even if it hasn't been announced? Personally I am most excited for the God of War update on PS5 Thanks love the show!

Hello Cohorts, Another question here, I have incredible nostalgia for the Harry Potter licensed games as they came out but replaying them all showed me just how wildly different all the versions were between handheld, console, and PC. Are there any other major instances where the different system made for practically an entirely different game/experience? Thanks love the show!

I've recently been on a FromSoftware kick, playing Bloodborne, Dark Souls, and now Sekiro in the past month. It made me realize something about their games. I like their new IP's or firsts over their sequels. If you count the unreleased Elden Ring, 3 of their last 4 games have been new IP's. How sustainable of an approach do you think this is? Could every new game they make be a new IP in a new world with new tweaks on the Souls formula? Personally I would be completely fine if we never got a sequel to Bloodborne or Sekiro, despite how much I love those games, because I find FromSoft is at their best when working on a brand new world. Thanks, Downpour
