  • Yeah…

    Not trying to be rude but it’s to the point that I just skip episodes if Victor is the lead. He hogs the conversations and often has… unique takes. Example - in an episode about Adventures of Elliot, why is 80% of the talking done by Victor who didn’t even play the game???

  • Used to be great

    I used to really enjoy this show when Kat and Nadia were hosting. Lately, they just seem to have run out of new interesting topics. Adding Victor as a permanent host has been very unfortunate and damaging to the brand. The show has devolved into a lot of sexist overtones from the "bro" and feels like a morning zoo show at times.

  • Come on what are we doing

    We get it Victor you don’t like AAA games that’s fine. But making it your personality and bringing it up basically every episode is getting annoying. Jeez sometimes you sound so far up your own butt that sometimes I agree with people when they say you’re pretentious

The Adventures of Elliot Review w/ Matt Sowinski
Q: How does Elliot compare to other HD2D titles like Octopath Traveler or Tales of Fantasia?
The panel notes Elliot shares some ambition with those games but lacks the connective world-building and narrative heft; they discuss how other titles in the space successfully evolve their mechanics and storytelling, which Elliot does not fully emulate.
The Adventures of Elliot Review w/ Matt Sowinski
Q: What are your overall impressions of Adventures of Elliot after playing it?
Matt explains that while Elliot is visually impressive in HD2D and has a core concept with time travel, the game fell short in meaningfulness and variety; he highlighted a strong combat system but criticized the story, world design, and pacing, calling it forgettable overall.
People of Note & RPG Musicals w/ Jason Wishnov
Q: What is the elevator pitch for People of Note?
The game is an RPG set in a world where music structures society, following a star named Kaden who journeys through diverse cities to compete in a major contest, ultimately aiming to unite disparate genres into a single, powerful band and storyline.
