  • Ad breaks dude what?

    Note: Please make more Silksong. Why are there ad breaks? In MY opinion, ad breaks ruin the show. It is still really good though. But PLEASE stop doing ad breaks mid-word. Ex: So wh- (ad) -(a)t does happen after that? It also skips part of the word after ads mid-word. But please make more Silksong. Сета

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Video Game Fan Theories We WISH Were True
Q: Do you find as you get older that you are more or less likely to use accessibility options, or do you ever worry that games will start to become too much for you, either physically or mentally?
Scott says he still tends to pursue the intended difficulty but would change settings if a game caused genuine physical or mental strain. Josh supports accessibility options and uses easier settings when streaming, while noting that age-related limits may eventually affect his play.
Video Game Fan Theories We WISH Were True
Q: What are your favorite fan theories about either games or film plot points that ultimately never manifested, and what about those that did?
They recall theories about Steve Rogers dying in Avengers: Infinity War, Abby being Ellie's mother in The Last of Us Part II, and a proposed Metal Gear Solid V ending that would lead into the original Metal Gear. They also discuss the speculation that Robert Downey Jr. might be a decoy for Doctor Doom.
Do We Undervalue Mainstream Blockbuster Games?
Q: What is a game you would give the Metroidvania makeover to, and which genre would you choose?
JB shares several imaginative combinations, favoring survival-horror and action-focused crossovers like a Last of Us world with Metroidvania-era traversal, and discusses why such mashups could work creatively even if not traditional for the IP.
Arguing Over Sony's Divisive State Of Play
Q: What IP would you buy or revive for $40 million, and how would you approach it to make it viable on a tight timeline?
They consider dead or cult IPs and suggest hands-on, small-team remasters or homage projects, with potential for 2D or low-poly horror concepts, while cautioning that licensing costs and platform constraints can shape feasibility.
Arguing Over Sony's Divisive State Of Play
Q: If you had to spend $40 million to make a game that has to come out in 2027, what would you prioritize?
The group explores a mix of ultra-simple, highly repeatable gameplay ideas for quick turnaround, but with plans for ongoing development and monetization over the decade, such as recurring revenue streams, cosmetic microtransactions, and cross-media tie-ins to sustain development.
