hey ben. in FF7 when i finished those side quests in chapter 3 i got a bonus scene of Tifa and Cloud talking in her room. did you see that if you didnβt complete the side quests. its not a huge scene but its some back story stuff and it seems like the kind of thing you would want to see.
2020-04-10 13:24:18 +0000 UTCThe Lego segment really surprised me! I've never especially connected with the Lego games so I wasn't expecting to get much out of it but both Graham and Griffin brought a great energy and unique background. I loved it! Also I do have a small and sorta awkward nitpick, and obviously I don't know your relationship with each other but Ben be nicer to Kyle about his daughter! I feel like things can get a little weird between you two whenever he tells a story about her. Anyways, great show as always! Keep up the good work
2020-04-10 07:51:37 +0000 UTCLike the opening music for this episode. Liked the old one too and hope it gets used in some way!
2020-04-10 00:45:57 +0000 UTCCan we please stop doing visual GALOTs? They don't work for an audio podcast. Thanks

2020-04-09 22:43:40 +0000 UTCSuper hot and Audica are good workout-ish PSVR games like Beat Saber. Not as intense as Beat Saber, but pretty decent cardio

2020-04-09 17:58:59 +0000 UTCThat was easy. It would have been a lot easier if you could do that from the Patreon app where Iβve been trying to find it for weeks. Get on it Patreon!

2020-04-09 15:54:41 +0000 UTCHanson. Just for me, just once, I want to hear you say "Final Fantasy Seven" on mic. The whole thing. All the syllables. Pretty please.

2020-04-09 15:47:37 +0000 UTCI listen directly from the Patreon app, because I donβt know where to find the RSS feed!l. It sucks!

2020-04-09 14:29:29 +0000 UTCLoved the segment with Griffin and Graham! Thanks Ben and the cohorts for all of the hard work, especially lately with keeping us entertained through a not-so-entertaining time!

2020-04-09 06:27:45 +0000 UTCGood point about Sony still having AAA exclusives to market for PS4 this year. I think that probably is the biggest reason for the different next gen marketing strategies so far.
