I hope Astrobot gets ported to Labo VR

In regards to the L&R about having a baby soon, as someone who had a baby 10 days ago, I would heavily recommend playing anything that requires a lot of attention or should be played in a long setting before the big day. If you have any multiplayer games you play or enjoy get that out of the way now because your will be incredibly thankful for that sweet sweet pause button. There is nothing more satisfying than putting baby down for a nap, opening up a game and knowing that whatever happens in the next two hours will not hinder your ability to finish a game. Personally, after baby was born, I spent a lot of my time playing FF9 on switch and it was an incredibly casual playthrough. Expect to play in 15 minute intervals or sometimes 2 hour intervals. Anything story heavy I would advise against personally because you'll be playing at all random times of the day/night and probably won't remember exactly what was going on. I've recently been playing these: -Wargroove (Switch Edition) -Final Fantasy 9 (Switch Edition) -New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe (one day he'll be able to co-op with me!) -Tetris Effect Truthfully, anything you can pick up and play I would say is a good bet. If you tried to play a Metroidvania style game off of 4 hours of sleep and you are banking on remembering where you've gone/where you're supposed to go I wish you the best of luck. Love and Respect <3

Our third is due in May, and I'm going to do my best to get Sekiro in before he comes!

Blood, that 'head-cannon' pun, just sublime

Anonymous

I was really hoping Blood would have finished his smart defence with "and that ladies and gentleman...is the Blood Verdict" (from the frame trap joke) Also as a parent of 2 the switch has been awesome in letting me squeeze in some gaming time with Smash and and Xenoblade 2 being recent bigger time commitments that would be harder to do traditionally.

Resident EZA librarian/fact-checker here to confirm that "Top 7th Grader Displays Talent for Test-Taking" appeared in the Bradenton Herald in May 1993. "Daniel Bloodworth is confessed 'videoholic' who immerses himself in the mysteries of Super Nintendo role playing games". Genius status confirmed!

That River Horse copy was intense

I love you guys, but you should really stop saying that $5+ patrons get the podcast 2 days early when you don't post it until between 3-6PM EASTERN time. I mean this with all love and respect, but when you use it as one of your selling points for donating $5+, you should not make it something you get around to doing at 12PM the next day. If you just say "you'll get it Wednesday instead of Friday", you'd have your asses covered, but instead you say "2 days early", implying an actual 48 hours. Just a suggestion!

Correction: In Knights of the Old Republic you can get clothing that looks exactly like Obi Wan’s and it is referred to as Jedi Robes.

As much as I love KOTOR (KOTOR 2 favorite game) there are tons of side stories and spin-offs that have information that was later retconned by other stories.

honestly we're just happy to get it on a Wednesday in 2019

I have never felt like a bigger asshole for being excited for something..than when you guys shat all over Labo VR.

Play what you wanna play. Like they said, we still know very little about it. Could turn out sick, and they'll have to eat their words. (Doubt it though.)

Tips for all the easy allies game daddies and game mommies, what I've learned in the first 1 1/2 years of having my baby girl. Most Pokemon games have an L = A button option, which allows for one handed playing. Killer for rocking baby to sleep in the middle of the night. Games with checkpoints can be a bummer. If you only have 30 minutes it can be disheartening to not be able to get to the next save point. Sonic Mania would seem like a great pick up and play game, but you have to beat two stages before you can save, which can be a bummer if you have to quit. Meanwhile, God of War is a big meaty game, but since you can save all the time you'll always make some progress. Do everything you can for your lady, motherhood can be very hard

Fangamer is a goooood pickup. They just recently added some sick Snowboard Kids merch: <a href="https://www.fangamer.com/collections/snowboard-kids/products/snowboard-kids-shirt-long-sleeve" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.fangamer.com/collections/snowboard-kids/products/snowboard-kids-shirt-long-sleeve</a>

Gentle correction: "mischievous" is not pronounced "mis-cheeve-ee-us." It's "mis-chiv-us." I used to get this wrong all the time, too.

I'm italian buti know the "monster mash" song thanks to an episode of Happy Days that i watched on the telly when i was a kid .....for some weird reason i never forgot that bit...

CORRECTION: You can absolutely see how much time you played Red Dead! Not only this, but GTAV and Red Dead Redemption 1&amp;2 have one of the most expensive stats screens in video games. You just gotta press start and navigate to stats to see how much time you have played, how much you traveled on foot, how many thugs you've killed, etc.

Correction: Ash Grininja apeared in the Sun and Moon Demo. Only way to obtain it in the main game is to transfer to the Poke Bank and then back to Sun and Moon.

Correction/Clarification: Halo Wars Definitive Edition has been on Steam since 2017. They also released the ports of Spartan Assault (2014) and Spartan Strike (2015) onto Steam. Master Chief Collection being Ports/ReReleases coming to Steam would continue to trend they have going.

Concerning Blood's SAT story. The same thing happened to me. Except there was one girl that did much better than me. The newspaper interviewed her instead. I think she also won a car somehow? I feel like I had a pretty good idea what direction my life was going to go after that.
