On the historic 246th episode of this podcast, we dig into the space madness of Saros, the match-three madness of Titanium Court, and the madness madness of Ultimate Drummer (plus the end of Pragmata). Also, Microsoft Gaming's... sorry, Xbox's new-ish direction, the AC: Black Flag remake, which developers' names have the best mouthfeel, what to do when your Legos get peed on, and more.

Damn, Vinny perfecting all of the Pragmata VR missions is impressive. Some of them are really tough to meet all the conditions in one run, like he said the last one especially. He should go for Lunatic difficulty now with those kind of chops!

I genuinely think the console market just wasn't as big as people thought it was and there was a lurge chunk of people that bought 2/3 consoles consoles in the past that either now only need to buy 1/2 thanks to xbox games going everywhere / converted to pc gamers / just can't afford to do that anymore with how expensive everything's gotten

IIRC the guys from milli vanilli can sing, but their English wasn't great

Nice call out to that hidden Around the Fur track that is very tedious to get to. Sometimes those hidden tracks before the first song on the album would be rmissing for some specific CD printing runs but not others, which made a frustrating but kind of cool thing just frustrating. Also, one thing missing from that Xbox memo: pick better names. I still can't remember what this generation's console is called and what are or were the X's vs the S's. And now I'm humming all my XS are in Texas.

Will Nate from Tumwater ever appear on the podcast? He’s been a loyal contributor to both you guys and GB forever.

I do feel some of the problem with Xbox/playstation issue is just where you've brought into. Xbox is quite popular in the UK with millennials purely just because most folk had a 360 when digital games became a thing, so they stuck with it because don't want to lose that library. Maybe the younger generations started on the PS4 and are now in the same boat. Like they're teenage/adult game libraries are on Playstation

Great, politics right from the start. Just what I come here for.... ugh

I learned about the possibility of a Track Zero with Relient K’s album “Mmhmm.” I haven’t really encountered any others, but that one was back in 2004. But yeah I miss them. It seems random whether or not Spotify keeps secret tracks. Maybe it’s up to the artist?
