Best addition this year was Summon Sign. Great way to end the year. Thanks!

Black Detective in Dexter

I really don't understand the Indiana Jones/Dishonored comparisons. The moment to moment gameplay feels nothing alike. Sure, they're both first person stealth games with large, open levels and you can throw bottles at enemies in both games, but that's where the comparisons end. They feel completely different in character movement and gameplay. I think Matty and Dustin need to go back and play Dishonored, because it's nothing like Indiana Jones.

Andy Miller

Brad the absolute madman! Appreciate the epic episode!

Ryan Taylor

6 hour LSM podcast on New Year’s Day? Hell yes.

Eric the Human

Brad you are the GOAT! This is gonna come in clutch at work tomorrow.

Cai

A 7 hour episode and only Gene needed a spoiler tag. You love to see it.

Trevor Myers

I agree with Colin, Naughty Bear > Ico

Sean Waters

Almost 7 hours! Ya’ll must have known I would have caught up on all my other podcasts and running out of things to listen to!

Napoleon in Rags

I just beat FF7 Rebirth and it didn’t quite land for me…if you don’t have a deep knowledge of the original game, this game is just confusing. It’s 100% fan service for those that played the original

Asique Alam

I've never come just by looking at the length of a podcast, but I have come and cometh, I have and cometh I shall.

Eemi

Just resubbed just to watch this crazy thing.

Chaise

Brad is a beast

Paul Waltz

Holy shit! Almost 7 hour mega episode. Happy new year, LSM.

Envydiel

Awesome episode team. Loved it

Jason H

Brad for LSM MVP

Otacon_Ocelot

Where Bungie was Sony’s worst acquisition, Brad was LSM’s best get imo love everyone else but Brad’s the man!

Stanley Stoopish

Skipping over Psychonauts 2 when talking about no great platformers recently is criminal.

Joseph Gedgaudas

Jokes on you Dustin! I did replay Ico in 2023, and it still was great.

Aaron

Almost 7 fuvking hours of the LSM boys and lady, let's go!!!

Vanzant

Jaffe’s been put on ice

Umkart

Hopefully Jaffe can tell us his list at some point.

Josef Barker

Loved this podcast. I'm sure people would like to hear Jaffe's and Hoeg's top games and most anticipated games to.

Brodster

Longest podcast in lsm history? Incredible

Michael Cook

This was great. Finally bit the bullet and bought Baletro based on this podcast - well worth it!

Vitaly

Why so short?

Nick

Love this

Zac

Oh man this episode is GIRTHY I'm so hype

Antony

I just cannot get my head around the metaphor love. My tastes must be off cos I just don’t get it, but I felt the same about the Persona games as well. Atlus games just don’t hit for me. Great pod though gang.

Derpology Mcswag

I wish Micah would just put a little bit more effort into playing the games she likes. Not trying to be a hater it’s just frustrating for someone who’s talented and intelligent to keep saying they’re “too dumb” or perhaps scared of using a new device like the steam deck.

Lemonworld

My ears perked up at the mention of Sigur Ros. You’re totally right Gene! Pretty sure the landscape is based of Iceland too

TheWubbz

Colin underestimates the power of a gooner.

Now Here's a Guy

Made it through the ep—great work all around/Brad!!!

Del Griffith

Am I the only one who did not like Mouthwashing?

Lunar Tear

Ninja Blade mentioned. When will Evergrace and Forever Kingdom be mentioned?

This made me want to create my own 2024 list, featuring games I played, not released. 10. TLoZ, Echoes of Wisdom 9. Celeste 8. Vampire Survivors 7. Control 6. Lies of P 5. Alan Wake II 4. Resident Evil 4 Remake 3. Elden Ring 2. Astro Bot 1. Final Fantasy Rebirth Some i’ve left out are Red Dead Redemption, Demon’s Souls Remake, Doom, Rondo of Blood, The Old Hunters (DLC), Crisis Core, INTERmission (DLC), Hitman 1, FF XVI DLC, Ace Attorney 5. Really connected with Bioshock infinite during my platinum playthrough too but had played it before so didn’t include it! Beat Death Stranding for the first time also and didn’t connect with it at all bar the first 10-15 hours.

Wayde

The mispronouncing of Oregon trail hurt my ears I must be one of the few that doesn't care about GTA. I have 0 interest and will zone out when anyone talks about it.

Ahlickaloo

Take a shot every time Chris says “feels like” and “vibes”

Ben Fairbanks

I am shellshocked to hear a Sigur Ros reference from Gene.

Gr8S

Colin giving Kunitsu-Game #2, that's my dog!

Cosmo Kramer’s Skinny Jeans

Was hoping Jaffe was gonna be part of this at some point. He plays so much I’ve never even heard of.

Mr. Scott If You're Nasty

These Sacred Boys + Brad have a weak, weak anticipated games lists. No Doom or Fable in their top 5s. Those are some weak lists boys.

Robbie Agnew

Great episode but Micah is Insufferable. Sorry Colin
