Busting on an iPhone Duo and clapping it shut

Listen, even Chris admits that cheese curds with caramel sauce is amazing. Sweet and cheesy is a rule now. We’re onto something with mac and cheese and fruit.

IronLion44

Bananza looks great to me.

Diddy’s Lube Guy

You can get cojita cheese at Wal-mart FYI. I had to start making my own taquitos because all the frozen ones are trash.

DarthLemon616

I'm not going to make fun of someone eating Mac and cheese with bananas. Because I eat my spaghetti with mayo then make a sandwich outta that.

Ankit patel

Hoeg and gene should of been on the same spoilercast haha

Diddy’s Lube Guy

Shocked pikachu face at the state of games journalism. Ironic of Colin to jump on Twitter about the FF16 sales on Xbox.

BigDumbStupidIdiot

Dawg, this is a Nintendo podcast. Save this for the SS write-in post

Bisexual Lighting Rigger

The only people I heard advocate to bring it to Xbox were podcasters and journalists. They all were like "bring FF16 over" "Where is FF16?". Now that it is ported we realize the Xbox fans never really wanted it. This is the same thing that happened with Mistwalker back in the day. Clearly the Xbox fan base was never too keen on JRPGs. Is this enough proof now?

Diddy’s Lube Guy

Gene talked about it first. I’m an active listener!

Sorry Ham Stoker but if you let the air out of a balloon for two years, don’t be surprised if it doesn’t float.

I would buy a shirt if it’s some kind of color (not black or white) and is a poly blend, like the stealth sacred shirt.

JacobMAllen

Id buy a punching up shirt.

Kronic

Pretty sure you can link Amazon accounts so it shares prime.

Mario Villelli

We need the stealth black punching up shirt

Henry Covert IV

Hey Micah, Colin can add you to his household and you will get prime for your account. My wife and I do this

Shadi Haddad

Micah has the best E33 take in this whole company.

funbalanced

Came here to write this!

Bogey

Micah you and Colin can share a Prime membership but on two separate accounts. Me and my wife share Prime, I never see her order history and she doesn’t see mine.

Lunar Tear

30:00 - Wow my girlfriend also doesn't like the Switch 2 pro controller. She strongly prefers the original pro controller. We were on a group trip to the beach last week, and there was a lot of MKW played, and she insisted on not using the Switch 2 pro controller. 🤔

Breno Bezerra Bluhm

You should definetly watch Goodfellas Micah, it’s a damn great movie

Mama Micah

Ask her if she thinks it's what a dolphin would feel like 👀 -Micah

MnTwinsfan92

I really enjoyed the E33 discussion at the end! For big Nintendo releases I would love to get full spoiler thoughts at the end of the episodes for titles multiple people played (thinking DKB? Metroid Prime 4?)

TheWubbz

Really enjoyed the mini spoiler cast for E33 at the end. Nice to hear people debate the actual story. Want to highlight how cool it is to hear people with different perspectives on the ending have a fluid conversation with a real exchange of ideas. I agree with both Gene and Micah on the ending at the same time but still gotta go with the ending Micah chose. Really loved Micah’s perspective on this! Great chemistry on this cast

TheWubbz

I’d buy the shirt

C

Stick a separate post up on Patreon about punching up shirt, if people don’t listen to this episode they won’t know about it. I’d buy but please keep the logo a nice small crest size as opposed to a massive central logo ☺️

ShookNasty05

I’d definitely buy a Punching Up shirt.

Michael Mashpotato

Micah, you can share one amazon subscription and have separate accounts. My wife and I share one subscription. It’s under household family. She can’t see what I order and I’m thankful I cant see the shit she orders lol. Everything is completely separate. One of you has to pay the yearly subscription. We both paid for our own separate accounts until I found it to be absolutely ridiculous we were both paying 150 bucks a year for the same thing. Google it and you can figure it out

Tortilla_the_Hun

Please put Emerald Lagassi and Guy Ferreri on the punching up shirt!

Stewy108

Ok Dustin, the Tingle cosplay is to be donned at TooManyGames. 1 day, all day. Same day as the panel.

Ahlickaloo

King’s orders, he must comply

Ahlickaloo

Do you expect to live a long and prosperous life with that dietary decision?

Anthony Palerino

Love the stealth tees, even if it’s a colorful shirt. The quality is so nice

Anthony Palerino

Micah, on the Amazon account: You are able to add a separate Adult Profile to a Prime account where you can login with your own email and password. My fiancée and I do this and we have never had a present spoiled. We have one prime subscription but the two accounts have separate suggestions, order history, and payment options (I think you can share payment if you want though). I never get an email when she purchases anything. Fully surprise protected.

Save The Game Media

I really need an update on the Amazon situation from Micah next week and the update needs to be: Colin added me to the household and now we share Prime

Glen Yelenovic

Bad move Micah… now is the time I’m going to pull the trigger on the Smug Matty sticker

Glen Yelenovic

I would be interested in a Punching Up tshirt

Stephen

Micah! Woah! Masterful rebuttal to Gene. I applaud your ability to compose a well articulated response to a very emotional opposition.

Ahlickaloo

Micah’s take on Maelle is spot on. I was surprised by the amount of listeners that liked that ending

Frank G.

You know what would be a killer millennial ass story. A Jrpg Nipon style rpg that literally takes down capitalism. Bosses are executives from major studios and CEOs are like Regional bosses. The final boss can be ugh Wall Street. Secret boss ummm..Israel? Pretty dope idea if you ask me maybe better that Expedition huh hu huh 33.

NeO JD

If a PU shirt was the same quality as the stand down shirt, I’d cop one. Strongly disagree with you guys on AC Shadows. I like the characters and the world. It feels kinda like Odyssey but not on that level. Plus, it’s the best looking AC yet and really shines on PS5 Pro.

Tom Hannay

**Expedition 33 spoilers** Well done Gene on being the only member of LSM to empathise with the citizens of Lumiere! I couldn't believe how callous literally every single other member of LSM was with their lives, lives which no one in the game, at any point, implies has lesser value, and which all far and away pass the classic Turing test. Shame you didn't make it to one of the spoilercasts Gene, you would have provided some much needed balance.
