Does Voltron count as a mech? I’d take Voltron over the field everyday

I love the idea of mech games, though I’m not good enough at them. That said, favorite podcast talking about favorite subject; this is dedicated listening time. No listening while driving. Bottle of red, comfy chair, headphones, enjoy. Thank you VGA!

How do I get a signed copy of this masterpiece? We need signed copy options on DnD Beyond…

Great episode, I was especially interested in organized play part. I’ve been trying to understand it but have struggled to find explanation, but then found a perfect explanation, given by Alphastream/Teos 10 years ago. Do that again on the podcast for Greyhawk when the time is right. Loved it!

We miss you, too, Mikel. 🔪❤️

That’s the easiest Etsy fortune ever. Take my money!

Vibes over quality. I like podcasts where I feel like I’m hanging with my friends.

You’ll say this doesn’t count but it does. The New Donk City music festival was AMAZING and featured DK characters and imagery. I had an stunned, open mouth smile the entire time that thing went on.

The VGA crew is going bananas for Donkey Kong Bananza, and we wanted to celebrate the best Donkey Kong game in years with a top 5 retrospective taking you through the various eras of games starring Nintendo's big, lovable ape.

I know it is not a normal discussion, but I did really enjoy the gambling discussion, and I agree that it is a complicated issue but the the ease it allows people with lack of sufficient control ruin themselves makes me very comfortable as TL was suggesting.

Same, congrats TL!

We love you Mikel and, while sad for us, are happy for you and Diana and know that the story continues.

Wanted to say congratulations on starting this next chapter of your life and thank you for endless hours of wonderful entertainment (can you easily identify the total hours?). You enriched my life greatly and I’m very grateful.

In BotW and TotK, it’s the best stats I can get without looking lame. Some of the armor sets look ridiculous and I can’t go there, but the classic looking tunics I’ll shift among those.

I was kinda thinking Punch Out would be fun for the characters that you face more than once, let them completely change their style/defenses/attacks based on what you did the first time.

Breath of the Wild. In the fiction Moblins respawn anyway, and the way you kill them would allow them to change their appearance/armor/weapons.

Mario is always the answer. The geniuses at Nintendo can add Mario to seemingly any game and make a hit of it. Koopa pirates, Bowser as a pirate King, the game writes itself.

Just for the “release the kraken!” moment I’d buy this game.

Sexual encounters in otherwise nonrelationship games. When Miranda was naked for the first time in Mass Effect, or Kratos had his moments, it was wild, but today it’s just awkward and weird.

I played Infamous on PS3 as full evil and it was incredible. I always play good and had no idea where the game was taking me as I made one evil choice after another. I don’t remember the specifics but I blew up a building instead of saving a girlfriend or something and it was wild.

Put a check by his name!

Games with a story. RPGs are my favorite games, and taking games from activities to stories was huge for me. Kings Quest and Zork were the first two I knew of. Even today, Prince of Persia takes another favorite genre, metroidvanias, and adds an interesting story.

Part 1 of 2?

Metal Gear Solid 5: I couldn’t actually follow the story and missed a lot of the discussion at the time about the ending. I was so just accepting of what appeared to be a Kojima mid-game-ending story climax, and then excited to see what happens after that. But then that weird vestigial ending.
