I thought I had this scheduled yesterday... apparently not.

Oops.

Have you ever played What remains of Edith Finch? What is your favorite NFS title? And what is your Favorite Horror game soundtrack? 

A) Nope.
B) Most Wanted '05
C) Probably RE2, being that game's soundtrack is so iconic, most people probably know songs even if they've never played it.

Which video game or video game series do you think is overrated (imo something like the Uncharted series) and which one do you think is underrated?

Part of me wants to say Destiny for overrated, but truth be told, Destiny's been hailed as everything, from total pinnicale to dumpster fire.  Previously, my answers been Dead Space, and after attempting to play DS2 again, it still kind of is. As said in my video's Q&A, I see the appeal of the game, but when going throught it myself, I just can't help but feel I'm playing a really obnoxious RE clone.  Maybe the remake will change that perception.  Underrated?  Saints Row IV.  I absolutely adore that game, and I get irratioanlly irriated by the inevitible comparisons between it and three, because despite using the same city and characters, the two games could not be more different in execution.

What would you say to people that are afraid are losing their PC games because of DRM?

I don't think most people give a damn.  Thankfully, there's enough who do that often fight for preservation via third party software and/or pirating, but I don't think the general gaming public is going to care until an entire generation of players have their childhoods be completely inaccessible, and even then... I'm not sure won't just roll with the punches.

Is there anything you’ve added to a video that you know no one is ever going to catch but you thought it was cool? 

Absolutely.  I can't reveal them though, can I?

Campo Santo… goddamnit Ray you didn’t have to remind me of that and now I am sad. Anyways, looking forward to RE4? 

Not really.  Not dredding it either, just feel rather cold.

What are your opinions on the Life Is Strange series? 

Only played the original, and enjoyed aspects of it, mainly after Chapter 3, but my main issue other than the obvious animation and dialogue pitfalls, were that other than a moment in Chapter 4, it really would've served better as a television series.  I'm not one of these people that screams into voids about "NOT A REAL GAME" but LIS really does so little with its structure and interactivity, that I can't help but feel like it only exists because the team could only get funding through making a game.  I think SuperButterBuns kinda nailed it years ago; it's bizarre that a team who's main strengths in Remember Me were art-direction and combat, and main struggles were character and storytelling... put all their eggs in the charater and storytelling baskett for LIS... and got rewarded for it.

Thoughts on asymmetric multiplayer? 

It's really fun, but it being a "trend" for a little while there because companies assumed Turtle Rock's influence was rather tedious.

What’s your most anticipated movie for 2023?

It already came out, but I haven't had the time to watch it yet, Banshees of Inisherin, I absolutely adore everything Martin McDonagh has done.
