Hey duke boys! Did you guys see that xbox came out and said that we can play digital purchases offline. This is amazing to hear especially after that DRM issue we had not to long ago. Its good to see Xbox hearing about our worries and complaints and correcting them. If you could tell Phil Dominus Maximus Aurelius to correct something. What would be the next thing on the agenda. Thanks and have a just downloaded a multiplayer game, then have the internet go out kind of day.

Hello Fantastic Matty and Uncanny Cog, Motive and EA have officially announced their rumored Iron Man game, which has left me with many questions. Why wasn’t this at the Marvel showcase Disney had literally a week ago? Also, on the EA side what happens if the Dead Space Remake hits? Is a potential Dead Space 2 Remake or possible new entry in the franchise already finding itself playing second fiddle to Iron Man, which mostly likely won't release till near the end of this console generation? Thanks for the great content each and every week. P.S. I hope you both have a “Konami putting out higher quality pixel remasters than Square Enix was not on my TGS bingo card” kind of day.

Wake up Samurai, Just finished Cyberpunk:Edgerunners and I gotta say what a banger. Easily one of the best tv video game adaptations, I would put it up their with Castlevania and Arcane. Cog already talked about liking the show but what about you Matty, did you get a chance to check it out? Also any chance we can get a spoilercast? Anyways have a "my 50 hour JRPG save file got corrupted" kinda day

Hey Dukes! With Overwatch 2 right around the corner, is it just me or is nobody talking about this game? There seems to be little to no hype. Are people over overwatch? Thanks for all the great content and have a Targaryen wedding kinda day (House of the Dragon viewers will know)

Hello Matty has a patty and Cog with his log. With all these acquisitions is it possible xbox might forget to put some of this money into the studios they have bought? Now I know we have heard them helping other devs with their games like double fine but when your main studio 343 has 450 people and has to make a campaign, multiplayer and FORGE (some missing content still) where COD has thousands of people working on it yet Xbox can’t hire more people for there biggest ip makes me worried about other studios they have bought because one of the things I know we all talk about is Xbox giving the studios more funding to make bigger and crazy games. My final question. if you had the choice would you rather Xbox keep acquiring more or just give the studios the money to make their games better? P.s Matty if you could have fallout 5 or new Vegas 2 come next year but you have to sacrifice starfield and elder scrolls 6 would you do it?

Hey there big boys! I saw some folks on Reddit encouraging one another to play the new Paw Patrol game on Game Pass for an easy completion. Got me thinking - what is the most embarrassing game you’ve earned gamerscore for and why? Have a Paw Patrol is on a roll kind of day!

Good day Defining Dudes, I hope the day is treating you well, but not too well so you both stay humble. I’ve been playing through a lot of titles with moral choice systems while catching up with the show, so I wonder if when given the choice you typically stick to the good or bad karma path. Maybe it depends on how you’re feeling that day? Matty strikes me as the type to have nuked Megaton his first playthrough, and Cog strikes me as the type to choose the team with cooler armor or powers. Personally I stick to whatever feels right, and sometimes accidentally skew to the evil path. Have a “GF got me crocs for Valentine’s Day” kind of day.

Good day Dukes, I was wondering if you all keep a list of all the games you have finished. A few years ago I started such a list, wracking my brain in remembering all the games I've completed since I was 5 years old, and currently that list is at around 350 games. I imagine the two of you have counts that exceed that (if you happen to be keeping track). Keep up the good work, and have a luxurious day!

Hey Dukes, Recently in an effort to play something different I started playing Crusader Kings 3 on game pass. I’ve never played anything like it - it was the first time in forever that I’ve been this absorbed by a game. There really isn’t anything else like it. That being said - have you ever had a game that you tried on a whim despite it not being in your wheelhouse that ended up being something you couldn’t put down?

Hey Matty and Cog With the Xbox/Activision merger now in question, and Sony up in arms over the "potential" loss of a huge IP that they understandably cannot replace financially, a thought crossed my mind. If Microsoft were to sign a declaration that 'Call of duty' would stay a multiplatform product, simply to appease Sony and any other concerned organisations, what's to stop Microsoft from creating a new IP using the current roster of teams? Does the name hold that much sway in consumer spending, over an established design formula, that Microsoft wouldn't just create the same military multiplayer shooter, with a different title? Financially not comparable, but From Software has applied its current design formula to multiple IPs over the the last 13 years, along side a growing consumer base. Sorry for the long one. Thanks for the amazing work gents.
