I’ve been playing too much Yu-Gi-Oh™ so bear with me. Ian’s power in the Desire Index is called “Shift Up!!” During the Desire Index phase, Ian may increase a Rank 5 or lower game by one rank unless negated by an “Everybody Shut Up” power. If this power is played after all three “Everybody Shut Up” powers have been played during a single Desire Index phase. Control’s rank will change to Rank 1. Card Image: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/UxcYwwt.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/UxcYwwt.jpg</a> (I made some late night changes to the text so the card’s text is a bit out of date)

I would put Darksiders 3 in my top 5. I loved the first 2 and don't like most of what's on the list.

Morgan Mohalla

Please please please make "why not Don" a reoccurring bit.

Star Tsurugi

I'm guessing there is 0% chance that EZA will discuss Shane Satterfield leaking the Cyberpunk demo audio?

Taubel

RDR 2 not being the most desired game is preposterous, but I love the segment.

Correction: Kangaskhan's mega evolution involves the baby leaving the pouch

Térence Caron

For Ian, in french "tresse" (with an "e" at the end) is braided hair, "très aimé" is "much loved" (more or less, "really loved" would also be a good translation). From your french EZA patron :p

Daniel Scruggs

Favorite part was discussing for 20 minutes if having 20 to 30 games a week is too many only to discover that about 20+ games are already being released. And no one had a problem until a Nintendo executive said something about it. The more you know.

Don had an amazing bit for this

Leah

As an Australian, I lost it during the "Koala Crime Scene"

Jeffrey Tessar

Daniel Nodworth was amazing this episode

MBUN

Brandon commented best on it. Even if you don't care about those games, one of them might be a favorite someone has been waiting to come to Switch. Personally, I've still got Steam games I'd love to see come to Switch like Slime Rancher (recently outgrew my PC's specs) and Into the Breach. (amazing game from FTL devs, very far off from coming to Switch if ever, will most likely be on mobile and tablets first like FTL was)

Sam Sorensen

Always happy to hear why Don can't be on the podcast. :D

Rhapsody on PS1 was an SRPG with full musical numbers and dancing sprites as cutscenes, cool little game.

Raven Perez

Let me just say... Pocket Rumble is fantastic. Looks like a neo geo pocket fighter. Fun to play. And the way they're going to do the Switch update is PC will get lots of little updates and when they're all done Switch is going to get one mega update. So when you buy it you know more goodness is on the way!

Eugene

FYI Darksiders 1 is $1.99 this week for the PSN sale, Darksiders 2 was a free PS+ game if you are not familiar with the series.

Jones! Speaking of crazy stuff on Amazon Prime, even I have a movie on there! Its not found footage, but it is a zombie movie. ... And Then Everything Changed. If anyone desires to waste an hour. L&amp;R

Yui

2 quick things: I love the desire index so much. Please keep it going as long as possible. Props to Don for everything he does &lt;3

erni

My personal list would be closer to Ian's :)

Sean Dupree

OKAY I get that Don might not be interesting in sitting in on a news podcast but he needs to be a Fiasco!

New mics, right?

Michael Miller

We’ve been so selfish when it comes to Don. Thank you for making us understand.

David Warren

these switches are getting better and better!

Brandon looked SALTY when don came in hot at the beginning

Correction: PhysX is owned by nVidia but was developed by Ageia.

To add to this; from www.merriam-webster.com Definition of tress 1 : a long lock of hair; especially : the long unbound hair of a woman —usually used in plural 2 archaic : a plait of hair : braid

Benny Samuelsson

Mine too. RE2 leading over Last of Us, Control and Cyberpunk is insane to me. And what is DQXII doing so high. Cyberpunk would be top if it is coming out but I'm with Jones there. It's like 5 years off so it's hard to care yet. I'd place Horizon 4 over a lot of those games as well.

Tanner Methven

Thanks for playing my Pokedex or Animal Planet Game! If you ever want to play it again, I've got a bunch more animal facts and weird Pokedex entries just waiting to be revealed :)

Danni-H4

So Kyle is doing a 3 men panel too? Too bad. I hope that this is just a one time thing, and that Don bit wasnt just an excise for not having more people on the panel. I understand if they cant make it, but we prefer to have as many allies as time permits.

EasyAllies

It was Ben's turn on the rotation, but he was still out of town and no one else could fill in. -Bloodworth

Correction: Tress is English for hair (or rather a lock thereof)

Well, I actually speak Japanese and "tsu" and "su" are definitely different letters that you can't swap so it DOES matter. I personally wouldn't go out of my way to correct people who may or may not be pronouncing Japanese words wrong, but if you want to make a correction argument where you're comparing it to English pronunciation then I will chime up. I can't presume to know much about the game, but I figure Tsushima is a reference to the city. Sushima as far as I know is just a family name, but there are other instances where you might end up saying something wrong or bad unintentionally. Again, I don't want to argue semantics of pronunciation for a language I believe none of the allies can speak but I can't let your counter argument go based off your explanation. I think "We don't speak Japanese." is a good enough reason to not get it right isn't it?

Hello awesome Allies &lt;3 Not a correction as much as an fyi -- While this game isn't exactly the cool musical game you were dreaming of, Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is a JRPG that has a bunch of musical numbers for situations instead of having "normal" dialogue to talk about what is going on. This game was released on Playstation (1) as well as Nintendo DS. Love &amp; Respect, thank you for bringing me joy every week.

MizRacy

As someone who speaks Korean (and a little Japanese and Chinese as well), I completely agree. Of course, I'm also a language teacher and have a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics, so maybe I'm a bit sensitive to claims and assumptions like the ones that were made. That said, I still adore the guys.

I appreciate the Goofy Movie lyrics, Kyle.

Correction: Ian, my guy, The Rufus tune is already in a minor key - no matter how the tonic fluctuates over time it can't really grow "more minor", that would simply be - too cool.

Nick Owens

Greetings Allies, Love and respect Allies. Last week you spent an lot of time explaining how THC Nordic must need to bleed the hardcore fans dry by releasing 3 versions. How about the 7 versions of assassin creed odyssey? Does having 7 versions mean they are twice as desperate as THC Nordic or just makes them twice as greedy? Nick Owens

BeatenDownBrian

Just fyi, if this is a question for this weeks podcast, then you'll need to post it in the L&amp;R post, which seems to be late this week, but should go up soon I'd imagine.
