hoping you post the individual lists as you've tended to do in the past ;) i was glad to hear Graft & Kumar's returns to the show, would be fun to hear from more of the older guests like christian nutt

We will post them! Christian Nutt has employer-related constraints!! It is real unfortunate because we'd love to have him back. I (brandon) do ask him every 6 months or so, "would it be okay NOW!?" and it is still not.

Great episode, I think I'll add a few games that were console exclusive to 360 or were more spiritually connected to 360 than PS3: Wartech: Senko no Ronde Project Sylpheed Ninenty-Nine Nights Condemned Shadowrun (Blizzard needs to be sued for how much they ripped this game off for Overwatch) Warhammer Space Marine Rising Revengeance Clive Barker's Jericho Bodycount Alpha Protocol Good debate, I like the mixture of folks for this show's panel!

(brandon:) Senko no Ronde is why I bought an xbox 360! I only had a Japanese 360 for ages, with senko no ronde and battle fantasia. I couldn't remember what I thought of project sylpheed and my copy is missing!? so I couldn't confirm. If we could've gotten christian nutt on it would've been good to talk Jericho, he got to interview clive barker about that one, and he invited him to his house to look at his paintings! He never got to go. Warhammer space marine believe it or not I played on PS3, so... for me it leans more in that direction. Just that kinda era, whatever platform you played it on, that's the one it "feels" like. Though I think Vanquish feels more PS3 even though I played it on 360.

Holy crap! I got mad goose bumps at "HOLD IT!"

i’m glad!! this was actually a deep cut callback to a time I remember Blaine adding a bit post-show and using this sound effect years and years ago now. i don’t know which episode it was, but the gag stuck with me and i was happy to give it a nod here. -esper
