Why is Raycevick so sussy?

I'm Canadian, we can't help it.

Plans on covering any Nintendo games (ie smash bros melee) or is their archaic copyright claims holding you back?

It's not because of the Copyright Claims, though I'm sure if I were to actually attempt it, that could be a problem. Really, it's just I haven't a thought about it. Not antagonistically, I grew up with lots of awesome Nintendo games, with my most nostalgic being Mario Kart Double Dash.

However, I've not really thought about Nintendo much since my Childhood, probably stemming from not owning any of their systems since the Wii.

Considering how little I use my PS4 Pro, I know it's a bad idea to buy a Switch, and it's always a bad idea no matter who you are to buy the first generation of a Nintendo system.

Seeing as how Halo Infinite seems to have continuing drama behind it. If you do a Years Later on the game o you think it'll be when the game reaches 1 year or longer to get the full developer story behind it?

Probably not in the first year, as the story seems to still be developing. Halo 5 was done mainly because it was good timing with the rest of my series, and I was actually playing it quite a bit. Halo Infinite, I've honestly not played very much since the initial months.

The Season Pass content just doesn't really excite me.

Any plans for a video on modern warfare 2? It innovated with spec ops, expanded the multiplayer aspect of MW and somehow made the story even more bombastic. Maybe a video covering both 2 and 3?

I'm thinking about it for sure. Considering that I've mentioned MW2 in multiple videos over the years (including my very first one) I probably should do a definitive project on it, and frankly... one of the biggest hesitations with covering the Treyarch games is Zombies, as I'm not a massive fan of the mode, but it's massively important to cover.

I really want a retro shooter set in a world like blame! (Check out some panels for it if you haven't read it) especially a retro shooter with a heavy emphasis on exploration. Is there any media you like that you really want to be adapted into a game or at least something with a similar vibe?

I'm kinda surprise that Blame! hasn't already been adapted into some sort of action game. Though, to answer your question, it's an easy yes. I've gone on and on about Black Lagoon over the years, but there's also Ghost in the Shell, Avatar: The Last Airbender, 100 Bullets, etc. There's even adaptions I've thought about for things like John Wick despite not being a big fan of the movies, I just love the world and think it's got amazing potential for a video game.

Do you think Playstation games should utilize the gyroscopes in their controllers more?

Yes and no.

It should be easier for people to get into video games via Gyroscopes, but I think it should also be entirely optional. I wouldn't want them to implement it like they attempted to with Motion Controls during the early days of the PS3.
