This Week's Panel - Big Ell, KooshMoose, FuFuCuddilyPoof, Matrarch

This Week's Question - Today we want to know about your goals. Do you have an end goal you're shooting for? Something that you'd hit and make you hang up the controller? If not, what long term achievement goals do you have? 

Ell has now resorted to begging people to read the shownotes. Or...is there an ulterior motive?  Dead Giveaway. Michelle has been playing a classic Xbox 360 title. Does it hold up, orrr does it randomly change settings on her and have a clunky camera? Nah, couldn't be! Nate, after being ditched by three "friends", played a game meant for three players by himself. How did he enjoy it? Ell decided to go back in time two years and partake in some skiing, and had a decent time! Some TMNT mutant mayhem then ensued, with Ell consuming pizza as often as he consumes sandwiches!

This Week's Question - Elden Ring has been getting a LOT of 10/10 scores from everybody. With that said, how do you define a 10/10, 5/5 or what have you game? What are some examples of your favorites?

Our monthly live episode was not without some surprises. Nate surprisingly didn't discuss a Limbo like, colorful, shadowy indie game. Kenny surprisingly played a game! Corey discussed what lies in the multiverse, then surprisingly told us what lies in his future. Ell "surpisingly" played some easy family friendly Game Pass games. We drew our monthly Patreon and Amazon Prime sub winners!

We did NOT talk about games coming....real soon, didn't get podcasted with Games with Gold or Game Pass news, and we didn't play Elden Ring either!

This Week's Question - Do you have a guilty pleasure game? A game that you really like but everyone else doesn't. What's that game and why?

 

Ell probably had too big of a sandwich and took the week off. Rawker made his own fun in a new Game Pass game, twice. Koosh played a game where it was almost certain that you could pet the dog. FuFu drank a spicy drink and didn't like it very much.
