Hi Ben and crew, first time commenter and new subscriber! One night a few years ago, I was biking home in the rain while listening to a podcast where the panel was talking about Shadow of Mordor, when I noticed my tire was going flat from a puncture. I had to walk my bike to a bus stop at an intersection I don't usually find myself at, and now every time I go past that intersection, I think of Shadow of Mordor. Do you have any locations, songs, foods, etc that trigger some sort of completely unrelated sense memory for you?

So the news is in. Ubisoft is working with Lucasfilm Games (which used to be LucasArts? What ever happened to them?!), to make a Star Wars game. Do you folks feel burnt out by the Star Wars scene? Or is this the renaissance of Lucasfilm's IPs?

Hey howdy hey Hanson and the 'horts, With the announcement of both an Indiana Jones games from Machine Games/Bethesda and a new Star Wars game from Ubisoft, are licenced games on the rise? If they are, is that a bad thing? Having talented studios working on these popular Licenced games is exciting to me. Thanks, Greg "FlaminQueso"

Hey, do you think it is worth it to buy a switch now or should I wait for Switch Pro or successor? I feel like the dearth of Next-Gen games actually makes it a good opportunity to catch up on Nintendo's first-party output, but I'm afraid of spending 300 dollars (closer to 400 where I live, actually) only for a better version to be announced for the same price. What would you folks do? Sincerely, Jason Wojnar Kyiv, Ukraine

Heyyyyloooooooo Ben Handyson and the console loving cohorts, Not a lot of my IRL friends have consoles but they do have phones so we play (almost every day) Call Of Duty Mobile Battle Royale and its fun - I actually like it so much more than Warzone and PUBG My questions, do you feel mobile gaming (non console i.e. not switch) doesn't get reported on in the mass media as much as console gaming? Why do you think that is? Shouldn't companies focus on it more due to the HUGE base that's out there that is untapped potential? Also do you think xCloud and Stadia address this need?

Hello, I was doing some grinding in Demon's Souls and was listening to Slipknot and Rob Zombie. The selection went quite well with Demon's Souls. Any musical and game pairings that worked surprisingly in sync you can think of? Ok thanks bye!

If you had to add an element of chance to your existing content, what be some silly/chaotic ways to do so? Secondly, on the goty hunts if whoever is with Leo has to roll a dice every 10 minutes where if they roll a 6, Leo will then have to turn the intensity to 11 treating it like a speed run/ the most hyped game of all time for the next 10 minutes. Good idea/bad idea? I love gamifying games to an unhealthy extent!!!!

Do you think Nioh 2 is overlooked? I've been playing again recently and this game is really good. In my opinion, better than the "souls" games, but not better than Bloodborne or Sekiro.

Currently making my way through the master chief collection I have finished halo 1 and 2 which I have never played before, and now I just started halo 3. I remember playing this in high school with a buddy of mine but I don’t remember if we finished it. Halo infinite is one of my most anticipated games this year my question is What games do you know you started but can’t remember if you finished them? Also when do you think we will get a halo 3 anniversary/ remaster?

Hey Minnmax cohorts. What game would you most like to see a sequel or reboot of, and what would you like to see happen with it. I think a new splinter cell done similar to God of war would be awesome. (Appearing to be a single camera, not open world like usual ubi games). Keep up the great work!
