Always a chance to put out a V2 when the pod hits the next milestone :) but seriously it’s wicked. Great work to both of you. (Also I didn’t mean to combine Star Fox and F-Zero in that first skeet but, it’s kind of a rad mashup)

It’s perfect, but a part of me wanted a really vintage ‘falco punch’ sounding ‘RETRO BLAST’ at like the 9 second mark or the end haha.

Please do. It’s my favourite of all time and it has that secret ingredient.

Every time you post your setup I find myself just looking at your tv stand etc. Such a great and cozy setup.

I switched to PC from Xbox at the beginning of the year. Was with Xbox exclusively for ~20 years. My steam library is already loaded with games and I’ve gotten them all at massive discount. Coming from a stranger, you’re making the right move switching. Happy gaming friend.

You’re spot on. The music was quite great, and the VO was quite fuzzy as you put it so they really clashed side by side.

Me too now honestly lol. As soon as I wrote it my mind started vigorously creating the details. The round starts with a loudspeaker playing ‘wake the fuck up samurai!’ There’s an augmented reality component so kill streaks earn you time with the mantis claws. This could have made so much moneyyyyy

Maybe Canada had more of them than the UK 20+ years ago? If there’s still a market for laser tag though you best be establishing a cyberpunk themed laser tag company TODAY.

Used to do it for every one of my birthdays growing up. Bonkers that people grew out of it, it’s so fun.

One of those things that you big-up to all your friends as a kid but when you’re an adult, you’ve ideally grown up enough to give a digital curb the credit for you travelling like 500 km/h sideways across a finish line.

Fun story for you Pat. I used to (undeservedly) own a top 10 spot on the leaderboard for one of the F1 races in B3, and it was because I was an above-average racer who hit a curb in such a weird way that I accidentally rocketed through the final stretch of the race at lightspeed. Cheers Burnout 3.:)

I appreciate you two. Specifically because I put the original Pokémon tv show on as background noise while I worked this week and about sevenish minutes into episode one I audibly said ‘Gary fucking sucks’ to my monitor hahaha

The world got a bit brighter when yourself, @rahulkohli13.bsky.social and @mikeflanaganfilm.com started working together. I’d go on, but I’d easily smash the character limit.

Just replayed FFX on steam with an Xbox controller. Using the B button as ‘accept’ was so hard to get used to.
