I Don't Play Video Games No More, I Never Play Video Games....

....Except for a little bit of God of War, I never play video games.

Ugh, I hate how much I love that song. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here you go, thank me later! -- Tenacious D - Video Games -- ANYWAY!

Welcome to this week's show! And as you probably guessed, it's all about video games! I recorded this over a month ago hahahaha. It's the last of my pre-recorded shows that I had in stock so after this week look forward to updated content.

I get into a few topics this week:

• Nintendo Switch 2 thoughts after 3 months
• The collecting monster inside has been awoken

I feel like an entire episode can be dedicated to JUST the aspect of collecting for the Nintendo Switch 2. Heck, maybe I'll do that. So let this be an introduction to it because my goodness, the bug has hit me hard. Needless to say, I'm happy with the system and I look forward to the future with it.

And of course, I talk all about the games I've been playing:

• Cyberpunk
• Mario Kart World
• Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
• Dave the Diver
• Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
• Gris
• Hades
• Super Mario Bros. Wonder
• Potion Craft Simulator
• Fortnite
• Discounty

With honorable mentions of Donkey Kong Bananaza which I still haven't picked up, my absolute hype for Pokémon Legends Z-A, and how physical copies of games are bring replaced by codes in boxes (I mention Red Dead Redemption, the Assassin's Creed games, and Prince of Persia The Lost Crown)

Which, spoilers since I recorded this, I actually did pick up Red Dead for $30! I thought I was getting a crazy deal but it just seems to be the going price now. So jump on that if you're wanting a cartridge instead of a code in the box!

I have no idea what next week's show will be about, but I look forward to talking about something!

As always, enjoy the show!
