We start off with a conversation about console wars as the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 (PS5) are releasing soon. Do they actually make any sense? Do we think they are stupid? Do Microsoft and Sony care about winning or just profits?We then dive into trophies/achievements in games. Why does Nintendo not have them? How much do they mean to us? How many do we try to get?Afterwards, we talk about the magic of Nintendo. What exactly is it and how do they pull it off? What makes us keep coming back to games that were released decades ago on the NES, SNES, or N64? Do any Xbox or PlayStation games have this magic?Later, we discuss gamers that only play one game and also how time can fly when you are playing video games. We end with some talk about the current games we are playing. These include Ghost of Tsushima, Tomb Raider, and Super Mario 64.Help support the showBecome a monthly patron: https://www.patreon.com/tgpzmediaMake a one-time donation: https://www.paypal.me/tgpzmediaDiscord: https://discordapp.com/invite/ETRz9bEFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gamingrealm/Podcast Website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/799910Website: https://www.tgpzgaming.com/Twitter (Busted Buttons): https://twitter.com/BustedButtonsPCTwitter (TGPZ Gaming): https://twitter.com/TGPZGamingInstagram (Busted Buttons): https://www.instagram.com/bustedbuttonspc/Instagram (TGPZ Gaming): https://www.instagram.com/tgpzgaming/Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TGPZGaming/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tgpzgamingPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/TGPZGamingShop/Two Guys Playing Zelda (TGPZ)Website: https://www.twoguysplayingzelda.com/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/zeldarealm/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/TwoGuysPlayingZeldaTwitter: https://twitter.com/2guysplayzeldaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/twoguysplayingzelda/Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/twoguysplayingzelda/Support the show
