Wow, VGO sounds like an absolute blast! It’s amazing to see a podcast like this keep the gaming community engaged for so long. John and Michelle seem like such a fun duo, and the mix of gaming news and random insanity is right up my alley. Speaking of fun and engaging content, if you’re into relaxing yet charming games, you should check out Chiikawa Puzzle at https://chiikawapuzzle.io/ . It’s a delightful puzzle game that’s perfect for unwinding after a long day of gaming discussions. Keep up the great work, VGO crew!
