Fashionably late! But still in March! Let's go, another round of votes. I got a pair of good requests last month so I tossed them in there. If you got suggestions, let me know!

Vote for as many as you want! Polls close Sunday at Midnight.

See you soon!!Uncle Derek

I like all these ideas, but Good Garbo in particular is a phrase I associate so intrinsically with you that it feels like the most natural fit in the world.

Here’s a topic for next month! :o Underdog Underground: How Mega Man 10’s Legacy Perfected Classic Mega Man

These are all amazing choices, but I love watching you talk about garbo because you have a unique, genuine appreciation for every game you play, and you're so good at either finding the good, or reframing the game to help others see it.

I think it says a lot about your guy’s videos when all of these choices sound amazing.. 💙

I have a terrible video idea (sorry if this was already said or listed, I just have to send this before I forget it). I've noticed a trend of games releasing an "X Online" entry in their franchise, exclusive for China or Russia. There was Monster Hunter Online and Borderlands Online in China. And Halo online for Russia I think (was based on Halo 4's engine/assets). I assume there are more. I just wanna know... why? Why was that a trend with several big companies. Sorry I don't have more examples, and frankly this doesn't seem like a SSFF style video. Especially since gameplay footage will be nearly impossible to find. Just had to share the thought haha. Thank you fort he videos! I've fallen off the wagon for watching your videos but plan on catching up!

With the new Alone in the Dark reboot coming out, maybe a retrospective of the original “classic” games plus all the garbo sequels and reboot attempts over the years. Plus you get to see the TERRIBLE Wii and Game Boy versions. Such a cursed survival horror franchise that every few years just keeps coming back and is just one janky game after another.
