Over the fall 22 season there have been a lot of streaming shows, too many in fact. The 4 that we are going to talk about is #Andor #houseofthedragon #ringsofpower #shehulk all of witch, have been very polarizing in community opinion.
We will do a brief overview of each of these shows, and discuss some of the reasons why people have such a fierce opinion of these. We will also go over the sheer volume of shows right now and how there is not enough time to watch them all.
Every streaming service seems to be fighting for control of the media landscape by presenting unskipable shows, you almost feel compelled to watch them all.
Tonight we talk about the swan songs of consoles that made us revisit consoles in the 8 and 16 bit era and bridged the gap on generations.
Games mentioned; Kirby, Vectorman, Harvest Moon, Yoshi's Island, Mario RPG, and more.
Show Notes: https://dual-con.com/2022/07/24/guest-podcast-random-geek-culture-in-wv/
This episode we talk gardening and hot sauce, and jellies, and spices.
Tonight on the podcast we will go over a few games that came out during the launch window of a console and ultimately led to the possible success to that system.
Definition of release title:
• Games that came out within 1 year of console release
• Earlier is preferable to meet the definition of "release title"
• Only talking about North American titles and only sorting by North American release dates Talking Points: • Games that made you want to have the console
• Talk about your experience with seeing the game for the first time
• The game's impact on the console's public perception
• Features and technology that made the game stand out

We played a lot of video games in 2020 because it was not advisable to go outside. We took this time to explore certain games more deeply and 4 of those stood apart from the rest. Here are 4 games that we played in 2020 that we spent maybe too much time on but even though we may be done they still occupy our minds with fond memories. #finalfantacy7remake #ghostoftsushima #persona5 #animalcrossing Show Note: the art style that alex was trying to remember was punk noir from persona 5.
