  • Disgusting video game journalists

    I cannot stand these two Nintendo apologists. Every time consumers have an issue with their games, they employ damage control. Oh, they are just haters, it’s bots, and bad faith actors. It blows my mind, it wouldn’t surprise me if they are still working for Nintendo, I know they are a Nintendo channel, but not every game is perfect. Completely biased. Stop giving them your money, both are pulling six figures.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

199: Our Metroid Prime 4 First Impressions - Was It Worth the Wait?
Q: What do you think of the voice acting and character interactions so far?
The character of Samus seems to have taken a step backwards and is still too stoic, which leads to awkward interactions with more lively characters like Miles.
199: Our Metroid Prime 4 First Impressions - Was It Worth the Wait?
Q: Does the game feel like a Metroid Prime game to you?
Yes, absolutely, there are definitely moments where it strongly resembles a classic Metroid Prime game, and it doesn't lose that DNA.
199: Our Metroid Prime 4 First Impressions - Was It Worth the Wait?
Q: What's your early highlight in Metroid Prime 4?
My highlight is definitely like my first stepping foot into that new planet, which killed it within that first 10 to 30 minutes of making you completely immersed in the environment and the story.
197: Is Nintendo Trying to Reboot the Metroid Universe with Metroid Prime 4?
Q: Is Metroid Prime 4 a higher priority than Kirby Air Riders?
I would say yes. Yes, it is. But it's still something else that you have to deal with and get out there and do the work on, you know?
198: Will These Forgotten Nintendo Series Ever Return on Switch 2?
Q: How do you recommend getting into public relations?
I think one of the things to just continue to hone yourself is just try to keep on top of the changing media landscape. Be really plugged in into how people are getting their news, how people are sharing news, that kind of stuff.
