    I definitely relate to Wood on this issue. I am actually very bad with my brain wanting new things that I don't even finish most of the games that I buy probably not even halfway because within a week to a month my brain is looking for something new no matter how much I love the game that I'm playing

    😳👍This is a very subjective question. I like Retro over Modern because I grew up in a Retro era, but if you were born in the 90s or 2000s your exposure to mostly console gaming with mostly 3D gameplay is what feels more retro to you. I prefer good old classic 2d and indie style games. Pixel art style is more appealing then Graphic heavy realistic gaming to me. Awesome show guys! 😎

    • @johnquote1575
      @johnquote1575 2 года назад +1

    animimorphs was my jam back in the day and the character wood mentioned gets stuck as a falcon i remember thinking that was cool af but now looking back its funny how they just mildly gloss over the effect it would have had on his family... anyway... the aliens were slugs that crawled into your head through your ear while you sleep then control your brain/body and integrate into society kinda like invasion of the body snatchers...
    @wood goosebumps was also my jam i would rush to the book section of walmart anytime we went shopping to look for a new goosebumps or animorphs book

    Thanks for taking the feedback from Podcast #11, at least it feels like it. I personally complained about having Skoot derailing the conversation at the time; while having an agent of chaos is fun, his audio was above yours making it too hectic.

    I know this episode was a few weeks ago, but I believe the the cup and ball with the spike they’re talking about is a kendama. And yes, trying to catch it in the spike is something people do with those. I used to try to combo each cup and then the spike and it felt amazing if you could do it, but then that was it for the kendama

    I prefer going back to older generations I may have missed, older titles I've missed, and checking out niche games (bonus points because they're normally cheap). On the modern side I like checking out indies and the occasional big release, especially on sale. Normally I only buy modern games at launch if it's part of a series I really like, it's surprisingly cheap or it's REALLY piqued my interest (eg Eternights).

    I feel like this is two questions; which are your nostalgia comfort games, and which are your cosy games? Cosy for me is Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Animal Crossing.

    I bought a Skannerz a long time ago as an adult and I just rescued it from potential battery leakage damage. The toy is safe and it makes me happy because I always wanted one as a kid and never got one, and it's still in great condition. It was new in box when I got it but of course I had to open it and play it. I don't have anyone that would be nostalgic enough to battle with me, but that's okay.

    Huge fan of Animorphs when they were being wrote. You could store any animal DNA you touched but if you morphed, you had two hours or you'd get stuck in that form forever.
    The "good" aliens are the Andalates. They had the morphing tech to fight and were against the Yeerks who were brain worms. The Yeerks also needed to go and swim in a liquid every 3 days or they'd die.
    Tobias was stuck as a hawk very early on. What was great about the series though is that it was always rotating through different characters' perspectives so you would understand how each person was seeing things.

    My comfort games are games I grew up with, all the early Mario games, Zelda titles especially oot, super Metroid.

Older games to me are comfortable because I know how to beat them and the nostalgia I feel for them.

I use my Odin for games available on mobile and streaming (from my PS5, and Xbox someday). My steam deck is actually now getting used much because I don’t have many games on steam.

I'm only a few months older than Wood. So I understand what he's been through. And props to Wood btw, it's not easy raising yourself when your parents tell you how much they wish they never had you and how you will never be anything but a worthless piece of sh*t....sad to say that it's comforting to know other people go through similar things as unfortunate as it is.

    I got a Wii on launch but didn't open it and when I saw they were selling for a bunch on eBay, so I sold it. But not for a proffit. I just wanted to help some parent that couldn't find one anywhere. What would bum me out of helping someone out? That they were complaining they had to pay me the sales tax because their state doesn't have that. They knew my price for this IMPOSSIBLE TO GET console before they agreed and they still had the nerve ask why I was charging $20 over retail plus shipping...

    Never thought I’d hear someone else talk about Skannerz. I thought I’d dreamt that up in a fever dream or something. They just disappeared without a trace.

    Having an aneurysm over your Animorphs comments lmaooo... I'm going to seriously nerd myself here but...they had to touch the animals to acquire their DNA and then they could turn into it any time they wanted, not just the most recent one, but only for two hours. And Tobias got stuck as a red tailed hawk :,D
