She's Italian heritage and if I call her French she gets offended. I think she can figured this one out

But they're all super fun. Including Ocean's 8, and I want to see this loop that in.

...after telling the two old women I came with Monday 13 times during our meal it was Japanese, they continued as we left with "oh that was really good Chinese food!" - they also hardly touched their food, but refused to find dinner on their own instead just tagged along. -_-

Did I return back to Kyuramen despite just eating here Monday? Absolutely. Did I get to see in the honeycomb this time because I didn't have unappreciative coworkers with no sense of taste or respect for boundaries? Yes. Did I love my omurice again? You're goddamn right I did.

From the people who brought you Far Cry 5... Now we're worried about white Christian nationalists in America? Ffs.

Heading from Memphis to Detroit tomorrow, keep hearing about how dicey the airport and air traffic controller situation is... Wonder if I have a 11 hour drive ahead of me or not.

Really enjoyed highlighting the music of Lost Odyssey on this one, and walking my co-hosts through a game they're largely unfamiliar with (like most of the world). Come learn about the game that inspired Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's dev team without having to commit to 60 hours in Unreal Engine 3.

Outside of Memphis TN, went to Germantown, to get Japanese food. Omurice with curry was fantastic, and the overall aesthetic of this place was great. Kyuraman x Tbaar.

I'm in Memphis where it's moist hot air, in October, and I hate everything about this already.

Didn't China use someone else's AI to make an even more efficient AI already? Apparently we suck at that too.

They've been cancelling them all across Europe too in the first half of 2025. It's just Sony overreaching and low ticket sales

Was Gears of War the progenitor of "sad slow piano cover song" used in pop media trailers? I know for games it's gotta be, but not sure if it was in vogue for movies before 2005?

I mean I'm happy you're happy... But the game at launch versus the game it is now are two very different experiences. They patched so much new content in there that they had to redub it the Royal Edition.

Did a quick google of the Best Games of All Time. Of these 39 games that populated, how many would you put in your personal top 10? Also, what was your first console you played on?

Life is too short to work on the weekend. Play games.

Genuinely, him being the lead completely killed any interest I may have had for it. I can deal with him being a tertiary character like Bladerunner 2049, but 2 hrs of full Leto? 😬👎
