I saw someone commented best hub world, but you could also consider its cousin: best open world
Megan Huber
2024-03-27 18:21:03 +0000 UTCFor twists: I think "The Sexy Brutale" belongs in the mix
Daniel Urban
2024-03-21 00:59:07 +0000 UTCidk if you all want ideas but wanted to comment a couple here: "best video game soundtrack"; "best game perk or powerup that changed gaming"; "best game to fall asleep to"

2024-03-18 02:19:52 +0000 UTCHow about best in-game mini-game? (Gwent, Queen’s Blood, the Toilet Destroyer game from SP: FBW, etc.)

2024-02-29 21:58:47 +0000 UTCI just went on a twenty minute laughing explanation of how Kojima has just spent the last decade or so scanning his heroes and friends, which is such a wild past time. Also that thing about how he scanned the mocap actors' feet? Hilarious. Kojima is an all-timer

2024-02-29 20:54:08 +0000 UTCRe Twists: I know the game itself isn't the most popular among fans of the franchise but I still to this day can not think of a video game twist that left me as stunned as the end of Far Cry 5. Despite all criticisms of the game, getting the 'good guy ending' was one of my favorite twists of all time. Can't wait to see what you guys put out next!

2024-02-27 21:24:36 +0000 UTCIf we get a "Best Twist" i hope you guys mention the absolutely untelegraphed left turn that was Brutal Legend.

2024-02-25 03:01:46 +0000 UTCI’ve loved this show since 2017, five out of five smiley flowers. Yoshi!

GB Coffey
2024-02-23 18:37:26 +0000 UTCBest Zelda tool by game era. Breath of the wild totally changes the item game. Divide it into 2D, 3D, Open world.

2024-02-22 11:02:23 +0000 UTCPlease have on funches more and see if you can reel in some dorks from dropout. I'll pass out.

2024-02-22 05:51:12 +0000 UTCBest color design. Costumes, studio reps, Easter eggs, vehicles, jak and Daxter 2 facial expressions 😵💫😮😏
mads
2024-02-22 05:50:10 +0000 UTCMaybe too specific, but best Metroid bosses across the series ?
Uncle Dr PhilOsophy
2024-02-21 19:31:19 +0000 UTCAlso same, first patron I've ever supported 😅
Uncle Dr PhilOsophy
2024-02-21 19:30:29 +0000 UTCBest hub world would also be a great topic at some point!
Charles Gaglione
2024-02-21 18:07:40 +0000 UTCI would love to see a most dissapointing final boss bracket to mirror the first one
BeerMage
2024-02-21 14:02:35 +0000 UTCNot poll related, but have y'all considered also making a patron discord?
X_Blade_Mage
2024-02-20 04:33:51 +0000 UTCLoved best first level, so that got my vote. Also, as someone who spends all their work day listening to game soundtracks - or lofi versions of game music - I’d really appreciate a bracket of all time best video game soundtracks, or a resties on your personal favourites. Give me some more albums to add to the mix 😄
Rich S
2024-02-19 19:54:59 +0000 UTCHow about to fine tune best first level - games where the beginning sets the stage for the feel of the game perfectly. Or “best first level” works 😅
Justin Lance
2024-02-19 18:53:05 +0000 UTCBest first level is such a neat idea.
BestestNerdDad
2024-02-19 17:34:04 +0000 UTCI will listen to anything you put out. This is the first Patreon I’ve supported, it was a no question immediate support. Keep up the great work gents
Glorious Griffin
2024-02-19 17:11:25 +0000 UTCLooking forward to the brackets. Thanks so much, guys 🙏
Clay Grumieaux
2024-02-18 18:47:19 +0000 UTCBest single puzzle.
Gobblurrito
2024-02-18 18:04:58 +0000 UTCBest mount!!
Evan
2024-02-18 15:19:35 +0000 UTCAll the top picks are winners!
Daniel Klug
2024-02-18 10:13:46 +0000 UTCVoted for best video game twist! But if you’re taking suggestions: would love franchise-specific brackets kind of like your GTA episode on the main feed. (An Assassin’s Creed bracket would could be really cool!) Also, love the deep dives into franchises like you did on Batman games recently. Anyway, excited for this new phase of the show!
Kerri Kearse
2024-02-18 04:04:14 +0000 UTCBest Mascot is just an automatic win for the shopkeeper in RE4 innit?
Kenneth Herrell
2024-02-18 01:38:27 +0000 UTCI don't know if this a capabilty of the site, but I'd love to be able to pick more options. I felt the same about the resties poll the other day. Anyway, love the show! I'm happy to throw a couple bucks your way!
billfromamerica
2024-02-17 23:50:06 +0000 UTCWe won't be adding it for now, but will keep this feedback in mind for the future! Thanks!
Chris
2024-02-17 23:35:32 +0000 UTCI’d love a bracket of Pokémon games!
Melissa O'Neil
2024-02-17 23:04:41 +0000 UTCWould y’all consider adding the main show ad-free to the Patreon feed? I thought I’d get the newest episode through there but realized it was only on my main feed still. I assume maybe you’d want to keep the subscriber numbers high on that feed as well, or something, but thought I’d ask :) love y’all!!
Thomas Barker
2024-02-17 18:27:56 +0000 UTCWe're keeping the main Friday episodes ad-supported for now BUT we will think on this for the future!
Chris
2024-02-17 14:49:33 +0000 UTCThis Patreon feed doesn't have the main show episodes in it (yet?)
Leo Herzog
2024-02-17 14:28:49 +0000 UTCAll their shows are ad free, that’s why they made the patreon ;)
ThanaThots
2024-02-17 14:20:18 +0000 UTCLove y'all! Thanks for adding a Patreon and letting us support you this way too!!! :)
ThrilloftheFright (Ashleigh)
2024-02-17 12:47:55 +0000 UTCI'm lukewarm on bonus content, really just want to support you guys. Would you consider doing ad-free main show episodes? I'm very interested in that.
Leo Herzog
2024-02-17 12:28:56 +0000 UTCI would love to hear a little segment of what your guys’ cosy games are (hence I voted for rainy day game!)! You guys have gotten me into quite a few games outside of my personal usual cosy games choices, so would just be interested to hear a set list of what y’all would pick as your own cosy games. Also, was kind of attempting to boycott persona 3 reload to due no Fem MC (I played p3p on emulator when I was around 15 so having Fem MC holds a special place in my heart) , but I’m now playing it this weekend because after listening to the new main besties episode yesterday, I couldn’t keep my grubby little hands off!
SakuraMew
2024-02-17 10:56:34 +0000 UTCvoted for rainy day. selfishly, more spoiler episodes would be my favorite. Though I get that it could alienate part of your audience
Erik W
2024-02-17 01:41:17 +0000 UTCIt's behind the payway, Jim Bankoff doesn't need to know!!
Alice
2024-02-17 00:59:06 +0000 UTCSadly, I'm not sure we have the rights. But will check!
Chris
2024-02-17 00:28:26 +0000 UTCAs long as you record it at 2 a.m. we're down for whatever
VacantExpressionComics
2024-02-16 22:27:10 +0000 UTCThis is way tougher to pock poll than I thought it would be.
Garrett Troxler
2024-02-16 21:53:18 +0000 UTCCould be fun to have hour long multiplayer streams as bonus episodes every once in a while! But Lord knows I’m not tryna ask people to work more. Glad Patreon’s happening!
Connor Young
2024-02-16 18:25:11 +0000 UTCCan we get a couch coop in 2024 bracket? I know we all know the classics but it would be nice to see the ones that still hold up, can still be easily played on something near a couch and our the besties faves.
Matthew Brown
2024-02-16 17:31:33 +0000 UTCHumble request: for bracket episodes bring back the original Polygon version of the theme
Alice
2024-02-16 17:21:43 +0000 UTCThat would be sick, I'd love to hear each of their top 10s
Ian
2024-02-16 17:17:35 +0000 UTCI would like hear your top ten games of all times lists. (For each of you instead of as a bracket.) It would give us a ton of additional valuable insight into each of your gaming tastes and preferences. When putting my top ten list together, the top three slots where pretty easy to choose, surprisingly, it was the 9th and 10th slots that were really hard for me to decide on and really made me think about what I actually loved about playing video games.
Dustin Siegel
2024-02-16 15:50:52 +0000 UTCI want the Tttwwiissttsss one but I’m afraid you’ll spoil games I didn’t even know have twists so I voted for first levels
Jani Saarijarvi
2024-02-16 15:34:49 +0000 UTCProposal for a book bracket.
Mycomancer
2024-02-16 15:29:15 +0000 UTCMost of these are great, but Most Kojima moment made me snort so I picked that.
Mallory Carpenter
2024-02-16 15:05:36 +0000 UTCLove this show! $5 a month to show my support was the least I could do for the hundreds of hours of content yall have provided me over the years.
Benjamin McCown
2024-02-16 15:04:57 +0000 UTCNever joined a Patreon before, but this is my favorite podcast so I had to support :)
Brendan Bergen
2024-02-16 14:49:59 +0000 UTCrainy day!!! it's been a rough February lol
mod2amaryllis
2024-02-16 14:10:36 +0000 UTCFirst time hearing the McElroys on Patreon. Is this a new era for the boys?
Truth In Motion Studios
2024-02-16 13:47:57 +0000 UTCHonestly love being able to support y’all more directly now!
Thomas Barker
2024-02-16 13:06:28 +0000 UTCWhy only one tier??? Add more membership tiers!!!!
