"We had a great time chatting about the State of Play hours after it aired. I loved our discussion about Highguard too, which things are not looking great for these days."

Quick impressions of Highguard

I’ve played about 3 or 4 hours and there are two things I know to be true:

1) I’m terrible at this game.
2) I’m really enjoying my time with it.

There is a hook here that is fun and I’m excited to play more.

Been collecting old skateboarding games slowly. This and Thrasher: Skate and Destroy have been my favorite outside the Tony Hawk series.

That’s like saying Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground is a top 5 THPS game.

Skate is pretty good.

Wesker fight with A Perfect Circle playing in the background has the same attitude as skateboarding.

I love talking to Mario, especially when it’s about good films.

Is Star Ocean good? I am interested.

This is cool. But can we not do the 90s grunge music at the end of each episode please?

Always fun to talk with Mario, and this was no different. Thanks for having me on!

The Bulls are the number 1 league in the East. I’m not sure how long it’ll last, but I’m here for it.

Arc Raiders is really fun. I’ve really only played by myself so far, but it’s hilarious asking strangers not to shoot you, and then they either kill you and laugh, or they let you off and you start working together. Pretty neat.

My first reaction pick was Resident Evil 2 Remake, which is terrifying when you have no idea what you’re supposed to do, and then randomly, a giant man chases you around for most of the game.

But I’ve now played 4 RE games, and they ain’t that bad.

Clocktower freaked me out as a kid too.

As much as I love horror movies, it is very hard for me to get into horror games. I usually have to take breaks every 30min to an hour because I get so anxious.

But from what I have played, Dead Space Remake freaks me out. Still need to finish it. Lol
