I wish someone from the group had played Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven. Truly one of the most unique JRPGs i've ever played and i think a lot of them would love it. The free form nature of progression and the world changing based on what you choose to do really hooked me. It's a remake of an old game but I am truly so shocked that a game like this released in the 90s, so ahead of its time. I know it's too late for any of them to play it now but if anyone reading this has an interest in JRPGs it's definitely worth a shot.

Overall great episode, but there is one thing I have to call out: Splinter Cell and DMC were both awesome. I'll confess that I generally do like Netflix's animated shows based on video games regardless, but at least give them (especially Splinter Cell) an episode or two

Thank you for shouting out Mario Kart World’s soundtrack! It’s impressive not only in terms of its scope but also how transformative a lot of the rearrangements are from the original songs. I could definitely see it be nominated if TGA had more specialized juries for the technical awards like the Oscars.

For best eSports athlete, specifically the Street Fighter players, Kakeru's story this year is pretty sad. He had to DQ himself from EWC in August due to cognitive difficulties and outright retired. Still voted for Mena RD cause he won EVO in SF6 this year and it was night time he did after winning Capcom Cup twice when SF5 was thing. And I have to rep someone from the Dominican Republic.

The Bananza slander from this whole outlet is so confusing to me
