Greetings Dukes. Another Capcom game is missing Xbox. This time it's SNK vs Capcom. What can Microsoft do to combat this? Should they cough up the cash to get these games ported, or is the juice not worth the squeeze? Have a "The last drop of Xbox 360 digital savings included basically nothing" kind of day.

What's up Mr. "Cheeked Up on a Thursday" MattyPlays and Lord "It's my duty to please the booty" Cognito, Since we're in the dog days of summer, I wanted to shoutout and recommend two smaller $20 indie games that seem to have come and gone without much noise. 1. Until Then - a pixel art slice of life visual novel adventure game that tells a deeply emotional story about a group of high schoolers in the Philippines. 2. Nobody Wants to Die - a first person noir detective game in the same vein as Blade Runner or Altered Carbon. It's punching way above its weight class, visually, considering it's developed by a small indie team from Poland. Critical Hit Games.

Hey there Dukes! What a time to be alive! We've been getting more and more info on Dragon Age The Veilguard news this past week. News on characters, the state of the world of the game and even a couple of deep dives with the likes of Game Informer. My question for you Dukes today is, what are you most excited for from hearing all this news? I myself I'm excited for the origin like backgrounds that have been talked about. Choosing your own background was something that I always really enjoyed playing through in that game. The fact that they’re heavily leaning into the choices are always something that I will applaud as well. Choice pace RPGs are my bread and butter and I'm glad that we're getting more of those. From one of the Kings in that field. And last but definitely not the least, all that sweet sweet talk of romance. Love and the fact that your party members can form relationships and even have stakes in said relationships that can effect missions. Being able to get the opportunity to romance any number of your squad,including scout Harding. I just can't wait to dive in and see what's in store. So once again Dukes, let me know what your most interested in from all the news. Have a ‘Cognito unknowingly making a shot in the dark regarding previous NPCs having romance among each other in previous games. In Mass Effect 3, if you don't romance Tali or Garris can end up getting together. Or to quote Tali “she's just using his body” kinda day.

Hey Dukes With MW3 finally coming to Game Pass why do you think Microsoft is being so frugal with putting other Activision games on the service? Personally I think its really bad optics to raise the price and upend the entire Game Pass structure without giving something in return. Why didn't they do a big Activision dump when they raised the prices? The moves they are making lately always seem half baked.
