Hey everyone! Brady and myself are both doing some travelling this month (not together, separate for separate things) so we're not gonna be able to get together and record a podcast this month, unfortunately.

We can however, still do the usual podcast questions! So leave any questions for me and Brady below, and I'll put up a quick little thing answering them! I'll then send whatever ones Brady gets to him, and he'll do a little thing for it too.

Apologies for not having the usual show this month, but hopefully this'll mull you guys over until next podcast.

What Game do you think would make for a great movie? any game

nova

What are yalls thoughts on Mario Wonder?

Mellowdy

Hey James, Hey Brady, I have to ask, what are your most favorite genres and what are your least favorite genres and why. My personal one is first person shooters, if you want to be specific I enjoy more single player experiences. My least favorite is RTS because I dont mesh with it personally. Please have a wonderful day.

Infinite supply of free drinking water forever but it tastes a little weird or you have to direct a live action Dino Crisis movie have it done within two years pick your poison

RetroJay

Hey James and Brady! Have you guys gotten a chance to play Spider-Man 2 yet?

theonlywildman

Hey James, I know you have a love for 3d platformers with lots of movement options, but what's your opinion on the precision platformer? I.e. Super Meat Boy, Celeste, The End Is Nigh and Dustforce (dustforce also has a criminally underrated soundtrack)

Hesiolite

Hi James, I remember a few years back you reviewed Rule of Rose and bought it for 200 dollars and a 3ds capture card for 500 dollars to review a mario game. If you hadn't made these videos at the time, and you decided to make them nowadays now that you have to deal with paying rent and other expenses, would you have bought these?

Bladebrent

Both of you share a million dollar budget to make one video game. You both have to decide what genre it is, who voices what, cant go over the budget but have to use all of it, needs to have at least 10 hours of gameplay, 3 minigames as well as a multiplayer and single player mode. After you're done making the game, what episode of the trailer park boys do you watch?

Only For Sana

Hello James and Brady. I’ve fallen in love with the Nintendo DS a bit too much with both widely acclaimed and hidden gem games alike and I apologize if I ask a lot of DS related questions for a bit, though this question can apply to any console (or any thing really). My desire to seek out lesser played/discussed hidden gems on the DS like Last Window, Magical Starsign, The Wizard of Oz, etc. has got me thinking as to whether or not I’m a chronic hipster that only wants to appreciate games for their hidden gem status or if I genuinely enjoy these games. I worry that I overlook the flaws of the game just to cherish the fact it’s an experience not very many others have had. (I do think Last Window’s story is just genuinely so good though) Do either of you feel like there’s something you like where its hidden gem status is part of the appeal, and if so, are you worried about that sort of mentality getting in the way at any point? I’m not saying there’s a right answer here. I wouldn’t know myself.

What is a console that you wanted as a kid but didn’t get until years later?

Turkeyham

Have you heard of Lunacid? It's an indie game in the same style as FromSoft's King's Field series. It's really neat and get's pretty nutty movement-wise end game which I think you'd like.

Brayden

Hey James and Brady, I was wondering if you guys either play spider man 2 and Mario wonder if so which one did you like more?

Epic Gamer 2507

Are there any obscure Media, Performances, or Influences you and Brady have that would influential to your style, tastes, or preferences that not many people would know about? Like a box office failure that wasn’t advertised very well but you still saw it and enjoyed, or a local play that left you with something to think about? (I’m new to Patreon, sorry if this is worded confusingly. Enjoy your trips!)

Skye T. Bolden

Is there any big AAA games that you are excited for? What about Indie games?

NickieTheFool

Hey James and Brady, since we're basically at the end of the year with 2 months left and game releases slowing down, do you guys think you know what your top ten games that you played this year are?

Springday Autumnmoon

What are some design trends in RPGs you generally don't like? Not necessarily something that'll make or break tbe game, but something that you feel doesn't really add to the experience. (Me personally, I'm not a fan of real time mechanics in turn based games.)

hi bames and jrady! hope both of you are doing well. What are your guys' thoughts on games being boiled down to an elevator/blender pitch? for me, i feel its a double edged sword. while its very easy and convenient to simplify a game down to a comparison if i'm trying to make a game sound appealing to a friend, i also feel like i'm undermining a game's creativity. as an example, my favourite game is Everhood. It's such a unique and memorable experience, and i want as many people as possible to be able to experience its magic. but whenever i describe it, what always gets people hooked is dumbing it down to "Undertale on acid meets Guitar Hero" rather than explaining the nuance of its mechanics, characters, story, and world. it almost feels like a disservice to the game, like im undermining the artistic value of this thing i care so much about. sorry for the ramble, this is just a topic i have a lot of thoughts on, and would love to hear yours. safe travels!

Cecelie Keys

HI James and Brady! When I was a child, I got a game and that was it for a while, so it was easy to pour my attention into it and finish it. I notice that now that I am older and responsibilities grow, my backlog of games I want to complete also grows. Is there a game you played very late that you wish you had growing up? Or a game that is sitting in your backlog that you haven't gotten to yet, but that you feel would be right up your alley?

Adam Smith

Enjoy your travels! My question: Can we see the return of the April Fool's special, but whatever game you're talking about it just shows footage of PLOK instead? (P.S. 1000 patreon setup tour? 👀)

Timothy Ripka

What GBA port of a console game do you like the most?

AreoAnts

When will Garanikor be coming to GBA? We've been waiting for a port, man!

The Late Great Mate

You seem to have a pretty healthy take on the sometimes sketchy practises that gaming companies have regarding their games. You don't idolise, but rather understand that these are COMPANIES, with stocks and shareholders. Have you always taken that into consideration, or were you "beaten" down by the failures/lies of certain companien?

Probably around 2013 is when it became undeniable to me. People really love to pretend everything is a vaccuumized instance, but everything is connected. There's a reason we keep seeing the same patterns again and again. The same rules and insentives are in place to allow these patterns to exist. Honestly I find it quite frustrating when people treat each example as this isolated incident, rather than being a product of how everything is formed. Obviously I like to remain optimistic, but I really want to steer people to have more faith in indies than companies who don't NEED to make quality stuff anymore to keep making money.

Adam Lynn Keasey

Do you have any intentions of covering Medievil, Maximo, or Pumpkin Jack?
