This has been an exciting week in Sacred Symbols World. We're riding high off of our two hour interview with ex-Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida, and we're eager to reminisce and reflect on it. (You can watch or listen for yourself on Sacred Symbols+.) But as far as news is concerned? Well, this week is a little slower than most, which is why we packed extra listener inquiries into the show, and still covered what was there: Fresh rumors of a Tony Hawk 3+4 Remastered Collection, leaker updates concerning Square Enix's remakes of Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy Tactics, clarity on HBO's seasonal plans with The Last of Us, the potential emergence of a major Rainbow Six Siege update, and much more. As usual, we then round things out with listener inquiries on a variety of subjects. What are our thoughts about the recent layoffs on the Marvel Rivals team? Does SEGA and Ryu Ga Gotoku run the risk of overexposing the Yakuza/Like A Dragon franchise? Why are many creators so eager to politically and socially alienate their audiences? Is Colin on the verge of converting to Islam?Timestamps:0:00:00 - Intro

What’ll it be this time fellas

A Hind D

LSM is on a fucking HEATER rn

Soulful Bison

You two dipsticks ain’t gonna last 10 seconds across the county line

AJWhite

I'm old enough to remember when Colin justified bypassing paywalls to access news websites... but he gets upset when the show is clipped 🤨

Frank

Murderer Kevin

Americans please explain Trump to the rest of the world. Trump the type of guy to blame Poland for getting invaded by Hitler.

Donald's Cloaca

I liked the Unified RSS feed because I could see what all the shows were talking about. Even though I usually don't listen to Punching Up, I still like to check the timestamps and see if something interests me.

Donald's Cloaca

He says in this podcast that he's fine with clips as long as it's not egregious.

Scott willsher

Praise everything that can be praised. You got them to finally fix the RSS feeds. What an improvement, thank you Colin. Side note, I still have the global feed (as well as the SS feed) and got this episode come through on it. Not sure what that means but thought you should know Anyway. Excellent stuff

Walk Forward Cutscene

Husky master race. But they need to be leashed, or have an electric fence, etc. They are literally born to run!

Jason Rose

If Colin reads anything I’ve ever written, forget Final Fantasy XIII when/if they release the remasters and just play XIII-2. It’s so much better and fixes so much of what went wrong with the initial game. It’s a legit, excellent video game and the best rendition of a time travelling narrative and world since Chrono Trigger. I despised XIII and it took me years to relent and play XIII-2, so glad it did. Also yes, Dogs > Cats.

king_ryan_james

I listen to all the shows weekly. Of course there are times I miss one, am not interested, or don’t finish an episode. I didn’t mind how the RSS feed was and I don’t mind what it’ll be going forward. Neither way bugged me haha

Black Detective in Dexter

Colin, you do say "thing" weird. You also say "but" weird. Sorry, had to say it.

Tristan Kimball

Im using the patreon ios app and for me its still just the last stand moon with everything

ZiggyFeelGoods

I'm going to beat the drum on the Rss feed one last time because I think this perspective is important The unified feed created a backlog of content which was listed in order of release. I took a specific interest in sorting the content from oldest to newest and listening to the old content as it had come out 8 years ago. It was like hopping in a time machine and going back to when that content had been released. I also wove my listening into the games I would play. Anything that I had heard about on a LSM podcast would be eligable as the next game I would tackle. A meta game if you will. I know the 'tism might be strong with this approach, but when I personally woke up Thursday morning, my system was gone, seemingly never to return. It is impossible to view old content in release order with the new system and I really think that is a shame. EDIT: I use spotify

king_ryan_james

We have a neighbor who lets their two Shih Tzus out off leash. There have been multiple times that one of them as run towards our labradoodle barking. We don’t know those dogs, and we don’t want something to happen. My wife called the guy out and he just walked away without saying anything. So we told the HOA. They’ve done it multiple times since but less frequently. We even told the non emergency line and saw the community service officer talk to them before about it.

Jacob Lesperance

Colin describing himself as "in shape" while simultaneously being on statins to stay alive made me laugh.

Kaleb

I’m one of the people who listen to all the shows, I’m stretching this $5 as far as it’ll go

Murderer Kevin

Oh yeh it's clearly Ukraine's fault they got invaded lol fair enough if the Americans want Europe to contribute more to their own security but no need to support an obvious dictator.

zepplinmike

I subbed to all of the individual RSS feeds and this episode downloaded twice for me in the Apple Podcasts app. Did anyone else get that? Didn’t happen for the other shows this week.

Zac

Colin didn't read my correction about how the battle royale genre was not started by PUBG, but rather by regular players that run Minecraft Hunger Games servers about 5 years before PUBG came out because he secretly hates the players. But don't worry everyone, I'll never stop beating the Minecraft Hunger Games drums! POWER TO THE PLAYERS ✊

Phil Jenkins

On Spotify I use Last Stand Media feed to list all show episodes. As of last week, LSM has vanished. I now have to go to each seperate shows feed to listen to that episode. Edit: Was listening to the latest SS and hadn't yet reached the point where this was explained. Definitely preferred the unified feed, but it is such a minor change I will just have to adapt. Keep up the good work.

Michael Cook

Strong agree on the Brad praise. Didn't ever really engage with Easy Allies so he was brand new to me. Summon Sign is consistently excellent and he's always a welcome addition on other shows

Dante B

Count me in the “silent majority” on preferring the unified feed. I may not listen to every show, it’s just cleaner. That said, adding them individually wasn’t that big of a deal, so nothing worth complaining about. Appreciate the update and the potential for the unified feed’s return. Thank you!

Adam Barnes

What the fuck is a community service officer? Lol

Adam Barnes

What’s to explain? He fucking rules

Dante B

He specifically said he was fine with it and even described people clipping as “good press” what are you even on about

FlynnTaggartGuy

Real OGs remember Minecraft Hunger Games.

Jake Z

Colin, since you said you don't know what to play next, I'm going to once again suggest Disco Elysium. If you liked Pentiment, I can't see you not liking Disco. They're similar structures in that they're murder mysteries where you go around talking to people piecing together what happened. There's no skill required other than the ability to read. It's the greatest work of art I've experience and I've read a lot of classic literature at this point. Give it a shot

Zac

Ahhh a man of culture 🙏

Murderer Kevin

Christ, I don't know why I'm bothering tbf, this is the country that allows their children to be murdered in schools cus they have no concept of gun control

Caleb Johnston

Listening to this now, and I listen to audio-only on Apple Podcasts. I chose to use each individual RSS link for each of the shows because with the previous universal RSS link it would have the same LSM logo for each show however, I wanted each show to have its unique logo to appear on my feed. So although it does seem redundant as Colin is saying in this episode, if you want to listen to everything but, I think it’s much easier to parse through my feed when each has the correct logo.

Murderer Kevin

EU as a fascist regime a bit bonkers haha it's the unelected Musk doing Nazi salutes

Angel

I hate the separate rss feeds. I listened to all your content except punching up, now I got all these icons in my feed. It should have been an option to split them if we want

Pepper23_PhD

I love the RSS feeds being split up guys! Been wanting this forever. I listen to most of the shows but sometimes don’t get to them right away (especially spoiler casts). It is nice to not scroll through months of different podcasts to find the one I’m looking for. My only complaint is I would like SS and SS+ combined.

CriiWolf

I was wondering about that Icarus thumbnail. I really liked it.

Tanner Triv

They are correct, i was definitely screaming OBJECTION! in my car during the phoenix wright portion

Painkiller

Ukraine was never going to join NATO. Also, NATO is defensive. If Russia never wanted to invade, it would not matter.

Painkiller

A lot of people like him because he pisses off their political rivals.

Michael Candelaria

On the RSS feed front. People like myself that liked the unified feed didn't push back against the mention of slit feeds because we assumed it would be an option not the only option. I'm glad the feedback hasn't gone unheard and appreciate that you got with Patreon asap to figure something out. For now I'll deal with the split feeds but I'll be happy when the unified feed is back.

GlazeMaster6900

As a user who listens to just about everything, I do miss the unified RSS. At the end of the day it is your creative endeavor so I’m cool with whatever you guys decide to do. The 4 minutes it takes to add the new feeds is certainly not going to drive me away from the service. One weird thing I encountered is the first RSS link spawns two different yet nearly identical feeds on IOS. Not sure what that is about. Thank you and take care ❤️ Edit: I lick this and I live! What I say to my wife 🤣

The Lord’s Chips

The separate feeds are a God sin. Incredible. It's just using subfolders. It's basic organization. You don't have to scroll through a giant folder anymore.

Zack's Nitrous Blue Balls

I love how it's almost 2 hours in before the video game discussions start 😂 that's why I love LSM

Brad Felix

Resubbed to patreon for the shu episode and state of play discussion

carlos torres

"New Vegas is fine" Fallout 3 isn't even close to New Vegas' amount of actual roleplaying and replayability. Get outta here.

Cole Minder

I just have to fundamentally and vehemently disagree with the notion that connections with a cat aren’t as deep and meaningful as those with a dog, or that the death of one or the other is any less devastating.

Bisexual Lighting Rigger

I don't even know what an RSS feed is. I come to the website and watch the video's from the site.

Meatball

It’s a beautiful dog! I’m shocked it never barks. I thought they were known for being loud

Cameron Sturre

Regarding the fence scenario - damage is obviously incurred from the neighbours side, yes. Chris’ weird deflection about kids being destructive inherently, so, no harm no foul…? Parents are responsible for their children, if they’re dickheads and cause excessive damage to someone’s property, the parents should be held liable for that and understand that. Irrespective of any malice or ill-intent, the outcome is the same. Colin shouldn’t be expected to bear the cost just because ‘kids will be kids’. That’s stupid as fuck, imo.

The Comedian

Brad is Last Stand Media version of Insomniac studio.

Cubes

The RTS / FPS game did happen--it was called Natural Selection, and it was sick.

Andrew

yikes-o-rino my heckin guy, its called being a human decent bean!!! go back to reddit

Del Tor’ah

Complaining about the lack of a unified feed is weird, because the solution is obviously just to take five minutes to add all the shows, and never think about it again.

Adam Barnes

Really, Kevin? The gun control argument? You’re from Europe, yeah? Maybe pipe down, before you embarrass yourself. What a fucking third world shit hole that place is becoming.

Michael Hedrick

I just want to say I couldn't be happier with the separate RSS feeds now. Also, completely disagree that losing a cat is any diff than a dog. My cats are the only babies me and my other half will ever have and I cry years after some have passed and I've never once been that close with my dogs. Just couldn't disagree anymore with you on that. They show so much love and have such unique personalities. I don't think I'd still be on this earth if I hadn't got my cats. They truly kept me wanting to go on with life

Pasqual Ribot

I would love for Colin to fall into the rabbit hole of Paradox games. I have more than 4k hours in EUIV, 2k in CK2 (never loves CK3) and 1k in HOI4. They are the ultimate game in some sense, truly endless replayable

Murderer Kevin

Yeh Europe doesn't have gun problems, certainly have knife crime but you can only kill so many people with a knife, a semi automatic weapon can kill many people in short space of time, it's nonsense. But Americans need them cus fReEdOm, so retarded

Murderer Kevin

The US want to be more isolationist, okay, being allies mean sticking up for each other when shit like this happens. I can imagine most Americans don't give a shit about Ukraine as they don't know where it is on a map but morally you're sticking up for a much smaller country being invaded by a larger aggressive country. Trump doesn't want to do anything that doesn't get America something in return, fine but trying to end the war but taking Ukraine's minerals and giving Putin land is insane. We left Putin to keep Crimea in 2014 and surprise surprise he came for more land, it's what these tyrants do. Hitler did the same fucking thing, said he wouldn't take more land and ofc invaded Poland anyway. You could argue the world is to blame for Hitler by being so harsh to Germany during the Treaty of Versailles but no we logically realize that it was too harsh but invaded other countries was still on the aggressor. The Nato argument is such bs, Putin says other countries joining NATO was a threat to him, they never invaded Russia.

Matt Wiles

Heard this recently from someone else too, so I’ve downloaded it on PS5 Pro to give it a go. Got a Steam Deck too and looking for a nice game to play in bed, wonder whether it’ll be better on that…

Marcus

OBJECTION!!!!

Marcus

Copy a specific link into your podcast app so all podcasts go to that instead of using patreon app. But if you watch video then doesn't apply to you.

pbsandwich_

Wow, haven’t watched yet but this is an awful take whoever said it lol. my cat of 15 years passed last year and I was devastated, he was with me for more than half my life.

My wafflehouse hashbrowns

Colin - “ it gave me the chance to go a third level deeper “ Where as the “ OH “

Casey Cieslikowski

lol all you people crying about the RSS should just be a real man and listen to everything in the Patreon app like me lol!

Raggen

Up to this point I have appreciated the difference in opinion on politics, it’s good with listeners and hosts with different political views, and at least one of the hosts voted for Trump. I understand that the democrats have a lot of bad positions, but after this week I hope to hear from Colin regarding the betrayal of US towards it’s allies and basically aligning with Russia. You are on the road to becoming the enemy you once stood up against, it’s baffling but true. You can criticize EU, NATO, defense spending as much as you like, but this is something else. Trump is way off, Elon is crazy. Watch that clip at CPAC and tell me he should have any kind of responsibility. Both spewing Russian propaganda, Russian propaganda from the mouth of a US president. I have no words. As a fellow historian I hope you see the severity of the situation. I know you listen to National Review, and I was glad to hear and read that they still call out the BS from their side. I wish you do the same, because this should be the red line.

JT

Who has time for that 🤣 but yea the RSS feeds are such a minor change either way I can’t see how it matters so much to people.

Casey Cieslikowski

We should have never been involved with Ukraine and Russia in the first place. Why can’t Europe handle its own shit ever? Not a single cent should have gone to Ukraine when people in Hawaii, North Carolina, and California got 700 to rebuild a house lol fuck Ukraine. And no I don’t support Russia. Just because I don’t support Ukraine doesn’t mean I support Russia. We should have never been involved to begin with. Now that we are end it fast I don’t care how or if Ukraine loses land or if Russia is sanctioned to the Stone Age end it. Stop getting us involved with things that literally have nothing to do with us.

Sucking Duck for Quack

Disco Elysium is one of the best RPG’s I’ve ever played. Absolute banger

Jonathan Perez

Hey Colin, I apologize in advance if this point is redundant as I’m sure it has been made before by other members. The reason I like a universal feed for all the shows is that having one place where I can see all the episodes as they come out allows me to check what the other shows are doing. My main show is Sacred Symbols and SS+ but if I’m scrolling and I see the Dukes have breaking news on their show I go and listen to that episode. Even if I’m not an Xbox owner, I can se what goes on around the industry without having to listen to every episode of every show Last Stand uploads. If all the shows are on different places I doubt I would reach out to them as often as I do now.

Mama Micah

He’s not on statins, he made dietary changes before trying a Rx and we’ll continue to make necessary changes to avoid it. -Micah

Jacob Lesperance

Lol, thank you for clarifying Micah. I retract my statement.

Philip Dunphy

Colin vs Chris in the next American Civil War… think we just discovered the theme for the next Lillymo game

Raggen

It’s fair to think you should not be involved on the world stage and hand in the towel as a superpower. I get your arguments, it’s being said in all the countries supporting Ukraine. But you are involved in Ukraine. Then help make a peace deal that can last, that will put pressure on Russia, not surrender to them. If you want to leave NATO then you need to give a heads up, so that the other countries can build up their military. Yes, Europe has been slacking, but I will remind you that only USA have invoked article 5, and the other NATO countries responded. Both Russia and China would want nothing more than the US to step down from the world stage. The world we lived in was built by USA, and ending that trust is going to cost a lot, both for you and for me. There’s a lot of negatives to the global order, but taking hammer and smashing it is not the solution. And beyond your political views you have a president that is aligning himself with your adversaries, having talking points created by Russian intelligence.

Joseph Gedgaudas

Couldn't you say the same about anyone complaining about the unified feed to begin with? Also, now I need 5 different show icons clogging up my feed, just in case the occasional Constellation episode comes out that I want to listen to?

Cole Minder

They didn’t really say that explicitly, it wasn’t anything directly negative toward cats. Jusy sort of implied.

Envydiel

Bro it's a video game podcast

Zack E

FWIW, some months ago I kept noticing the $10 Q&A’s in the feed, and it eventually made me realize I may as well up myself to that tier lol I do think that is another way though to look at the unified tier as well

Zack E

New Vegas is great. But I too prefer Fallout 3. I think ultimately the setting is what does it for me.

carlos torres

I just distain the lack of honest decisions to make within the story. There's morally good, and absolute cartoon evil with zero in-between. The D.C. skyline is absolutely iconic, I'll admit, but the metro tunnels completely segment the world. Fallout 3 is the first Bethesda game where fast travel is mandatory, because there's absolutely no reason to go through a metro twice...

Raggen

With lots of politics and discussions on the culture war. They discussed Elon and Trump on this episode and Greg «virtue signaling» his opinion about them.

Daniel

I don't really listen to summon sign or constellation, but I like having the unified feed in case Jaffe shows up in the description. Always have to catch those.

Adam Barnes

Are you still being breastfed?

Gatorgotkill

I to would like a general rss feed, that includes everything.

Murderer Kevin

Because Doge your answer was amusing

Raggen

When you have no arguments I guess meaningless insults is the way to go.

Cameron Sturre

Examples would be Nickleback, Shinedown, 3 Doors Down, etc etc.

Ross Stoddart

Colin - The Thing Remastered trophies have been fixed now. I bought it at launched, played the first hour then heard about the bugged trophy. People have started earning the trophy and it actually started auto-popping for people who’d already done it before the patch.

Danio

Old RSS was awesome, I don't want this current cluttered nonsense.

KItty Crew

I swear some of you will never be happy no matter what choices are made.

Phil Jenkins

Is the RSS change going to affect when shows are put onto other platforms? Spotify only just got Thursdays DD, today.

Dante's Alighieri Hogs

I bust out laughing at "When my cat Chun Li died, ..." Sorry Colin but that was the last name I was expecting.

Pianopower

And then more people are gonna bitch. Just suck it up , Jesus

Pianopower

Yes but we are in this room now, so just suck it up. This isn’t even remotely a big deal

AJWhite

It began as him complaining about sharing the link to the private YouTube video for members only, therefore bypassing the paywall

Del Tor’ah

No, because there was no option to separate them at all, that comparison doesn't even make sense. But god forbid there are different icons for something.

Raggen

Already acting like Russian bots, moving fast there Jimbo.

Quinn

Tactics-style game with the whole LSM crew split across opposing sides of a war, lets go.

Faan

Basically a peace keeper typically for an apartment complex or gated community with no legal authority

Faan

Dustin is low-key the funniest of the trio. His comedic timing is great. Asking Colin if he could have a pension when they were discussing UAW and making that funny impression when the correction about Dustin’s “God of War” idea came up cracked me up.

Tyler Stafford

You're missing on Summon Sign, Brad is a fantastic host and is great at breaking down the games he plays

TheWubbz

I’m not sure what an RSS feed is

EarthboundNuess

I’m fine with the RSS change. Got used to it quickly, but didn’t mind the unified feed we had before. I would recommend putting up a poll on the Patreon next time in order to get the pulse of the current listening audience before making another change.

Evan Cooper

lol poor Chris saying “objection” in the background just getting overwhelmed by Colin and Dustin. Was very funny though listening on when they looked it up and he was like….I said that! Lolol.

Evan Cooper

FromSoft has done that for years. Armored core 1 had 3 releases on PS1. It made sense then because discs could only hold so much, but still….Almost every Armored Core has had multiple releases per numbered series. They are masters of reusing content lol. Next to RGG with Yakuza, I dunno who is more egregious.

Ahlickaloo

Think of how my many border walls we could’ve built instead of Ukraine suckling off our American tit. Heck, we could’ve had a moat the size of a river

Save The Game Media

Butt rock aka Divorced Dad Rock aka Nu Metal It’s a term that comes from radio station tag lines being like “103.1 Nothing BUT ROCK!” Bands like Godsmack, Disturbed, etc

Save The Game Media

My cats are nothing like you guys describe. They constantly want to be with me or my partner, request to cuddle constantly, run to the door in excitement when we come home, want to sleep in the bed with us at night, etc I’ll be devastated when they pass away. Never had pets so loving including my childhood dog

Josh

Love the separate RSS feeds!

king_ryan_james

It’s like a cop that can mostly do non emergency calls and traffic stops. They’re usually in training.

Brad Felix

SHOUTOUT TRUEBLOOD CHRIS

Bartevious

I don’t have any personal gripe with RSS changes. I think Colin misses some complaints as a “forest for the trees” situation. Also - many people have reported glitches with specifically Spotify, so I’m not sure it’s fair to say the implementation was “flawless as intended” As to Colin, the data probably does say what you say it does, but you do not have a complete, varied sample size of data to draw through in my opinion. No one would have left feedback saying they enjoyed the old RSS system, because they were happy about it. Unless you explicitly asked them. They also wouldn’t feel inclined to give you contrary feedback to those wanting individual feeds, because people assumed the change wouldn’t be forced on them. I don’t call my Insurance Company to file a roof claim because my roof looks nice. Unless you source data from happy listeners and mad listeners in equal/proportional parts, you really cannot draw definitive findings from data.

Josef Barker

I remember playing pursuit force on the PSP. The original was fantastic.

Gooch Gobbler

I'm going to lose all respect for Colin if he can't at least see that SOME of the shit that has been going on in the past month is horrible and embarrasses us on the world stage. He's super patriotic, doesn't he want to be proud to be an American? Is he proud of everyone Trump has put in extremely important offices?

Gooch Gobbler

There are like 10 of these bands, we didn't need a whole genre

Michael Rogers

What a pain in the ass this RSS mess is. No warning, I go to listen and suddenly my feed is nuked except for sacred. How is sacred + not part of the sacred feed? Makes no sense. Now I have to add every show individually and clutter up my podcast HUD. Thanks. I joined years ago and used the RSS feed once, had no idea how to do it again. Thanks for giving me chores and headaches for my patronage.

Pianopower

Omg cry more. You couldn’t just say “hey guys, this RSS feed thing isn’t working for me”. No, you had to go full drama queen for something as stupid as this

Michael Rogers

Ok bro. Your indoor shades and replies are exactly as cool as you think they are. Keep on Rockin brother.

Chris Fazio

Having to manually add RSS feeds a single time being treated as the second Holocaust certainly has been a spectacle to watch

Ahlickaloo

Do you play the piano with your shades on?

Shard_of_Odium

Assuming Chris, or anyone else, is interested in Turbo Overkill, CD Keys has it for Steam for $3.24 after tax! I can’t wait to fire it up on Steam Deck.

Shard_of_Odium

I hadn’t heard of it until this episode of Sacred, I grabbed it for $3 from CD Keys. I’m looking forward to it.

Shard_of_Odium

You’re not kidding. I had a husky for thirteen years, Kratos Dog of War, he was so hard to get if he slipped out. He also used to scale our six foot stockade fence. He was such a lovable ass hole.

Colin Meehan

Only 20 minutes in and Colin is killing me lol. Our fearless leader was feeling some type of way in this one! Well-deserved brother and to the rest of the sacred symbols team. Love seeing your success. Keep it rolling all 2025.

Bartevious

People who shit on fallout 3 in comparison to new vegas have simply not returned to fallout 3 Fallout New Vegas is my favorite video game of all time

Bartevious

These feel like Reddit arguments against fallout 3 both of which are overblown. Yes fallout new Vegas is a better written game, and has a much more complex main quest. Fallout 3 is still a fantastically written game, especially by Bethesda standards. I’d say it’s their best along with Morrowind in the modern age. Fallout 3 also has a much more fleshed out open world with more thoughtful world design, IMO. The gameplay loop of wandering aimlessly in the general direction of a quest, has never been better in a BGS style game. Side quests are both as abundant as they are iconic, and well written to boot. Tenpenny tower, you gotta shoot em in the head, wasteland survival guide, Agatha’s song, big trouble in big town, Reillys rangers (or however you spell it), oasis, stealing independence, replicated man, superhuman gambit etc etc etc all goated side quests. Fallout new Vegas has stronger overall dlc, with only honest hearts being dogshit, but point lookout is up there with shivering isles and far harbor Just an overhated game that the internet likes to pick on, when it’s at worst 90 percent as good as new vegas

carlos torres

I've played a lot more of 3 than New Vegas cumulatively. The Capital Wasteland is all-around more iconic, but as I said, the metro system absolutely destroys any chance of not using fast travel. That's a big thing. I know fast travel is a no-brainer, but Bethesda began building their games around fast-travel with Fallout 3.

C

On rainbow six siege, i’ve been playing since about year 4, season 3. During covid it was what kept the lads and myself going, we played every night religiously from 9pm until 12/1. We had a five stack consistently and even had a few events where we all brought our set ups into the one house and played ranked together. The game is special to me. Since then we’re been reduced to just my friend and myself playing still, I don’t play half as much as I used to but will stop hop on 1/2 times a week and play some games. Every game feels different, they consistently make changes to operators, weapons and even maps sometimes that the game never really gets stale. I’ve only stepped back because I wanted to focus on the backlog. It’s a great game and even now in year ten, I am still learning new things everyday. It takes awhile to get into and to grips with, but it’s not as challenging as it sounds Dustin.

Walk Forward Cutscene

My parents have a 10 year old husky and I couldn’t think of a better description.

Pianopower

Thanks, as if I give a fuck about a 10 year old pic? Grow the fuck up loser

Pianopower

I rather look like the dorkiest fucking dork in an old ass pic, than being a drama queen bitch like yourself . Bro.

Anthony Palerino

I never thought that the unified RSS feed would go away, so I never thought to compliment and praise the feature. It’s not a cool piece of content or an exciting interview so why compliment it? It’s like complementing Patreon for having the ability to post this comment.

Anthony Palerino

I’m sure nostalgia fuels this, but both THUG games and American Wasteland were fantastic. Project 8 is honestly pretty good too.

Bailey Callis

I get that, but the RSS thing is truly lame and annoying, lots of other things are just whining tho fs

Bailey Callis

Chris 100% loved what Greg did, and was playing it safe around Colin btw

KpopPrince

exact same for me! My little guy is attached to my hip and unbelievably loving

Madsines
