    hot take: Of starfield ever shows up on an award list, No Man's Sky should be allowed to take the award instead
  • @CathodeRey
    Jaffe should declare himself KING of Violence Island as well as HOST of Insert Credit to defend himself from any would be usurpers, regardless of their having their finger on any (Action) Button.
  • @heeverhashiscage
    The insert credit quick break segment always chills me right out. Thanks
  • @dkrmana
    please i need to know where the "nimrod" sound effect Tim plays at 42:15 comes from lmao. loving the episode so far even though i don't vibe with any game mentioned yet
  • @lorenzotosiart
    We Tim' patreon supporters NEED to have that full playthrough of BG3!!!!! Aaaargh!!!
  • @MrLeighSD
    I don't think Tim is allowed to give grief to Brandon for being a hater anymore after that hater behaviour regarding Hi-Fi Rush.
  • @onimaxblade8988
    If you like Pseudo-Regalia you should also check out Corn Kidz 64, which imo might be even better. Not in terms of feel, naturally, but in terms of design. Completely nails feeling like a old 3d platformer with a few new sensibilities, and progressing the medium.
  • @jakewar2th
    Cool to hear Tim shout out nakeyjakey's video, I like that video as well
  • @johnsimon8457
    2:49:02 getting out a highlighter and marking “The 26 year old-liness of the typical video game critic.” “There’s a lot of a 68 year old Japanese man who’s been working on games since the arcade days.” Some shokunin of 2D platformers would only exist at Nintendo. Some guy who’s never given an interview but has credits going back 40 years
  • @azriell783
    OMG I'M SO EXCITED TO LISTEN TO THIS (but it will have to wait until later). Love you guys and what you do :)
  • @Booneface
    Tim is spicy in this one..... Skyrim was good though Frank left us far too soon Jaffe done took it back
  • @Booneface
    Tim saying he would've liked to slit throats and open stomachs with a shotgun (in- game) is a bit gauche.
  • @_sleepmute
    Alex doesn’t say much, but his interjections are pitch perfect
  • The talk about the new terminology for "games above AAA" right during the Skull and Bones situation couldn't be any funnier
  • @markpfeffer7487
    I literally just played through pseudoregalia the other week. Wouldn't say the combat was really good, but what a lovely little game.
  • @Narokkurai
    1:17:20 I believe Uncut Gems actually claims that crown for most swears per minute, with a little over 4 F-bombs per minute.
  • @danhectic5629
    Great show everyone! Armored Core is the only game i bought this year- and it was spectacular! (i played the FF 16, RE4R, & SF 6 demos & didn't really like them) oh yea Spidey 2 which i enjoyed bits of but kinda hated.
