    Jake, I listen to a metric ton of gaming content along with other genres and creators. I can truly say I feel the heart put into Gameranx and your personal content. There is definitely corporate cut and paste content out there, but I've never put you guys in that category. Keep up the good work man!

      I don’t believe that comment either, ive always come to gameranx instead of other top tens and cookie cutter game review channels because of the heart that goes into each video. From my favorites like the Friday news show to something still with heart that falcon voices over with great visual graphics, doesn’t make sense to call this channel heartless and void of creativity

    I liked how you talked about toxicity in games. I always tell my daughter to not feed into the bait, or use that to make her to play harder in a game. And I even run into adults that do the same thing. That's why I always enjoy the aspect of muting general chat or ignoring the private messages, because it pisses off the toxic person even more.

      I think it's a fair question, however that person doesn't get it. Top 10 videos work, they can be cranked out and people watch them which keeps the channel alive. Those funds also help bring in additional and different content, plus reviews.

      Personally not a huge fan of top 10 videos (on a scale gameranx do them better than most, and I do watch them from time to time), but if they are needed to support the other content then I will never complain. This is not exclusive to Gameranx, there's a few channels that seem to follow this model. I really enjoy the videos I watch and just ignore the ones I don't like the look of. Please keeping doing what you need to do to produce the content you do

    Oh wow, I didn't realize how much I appreciate Gameranx until you discussed that comment of it being formulaic. I find the channel/company to be truly tuned in on the craft of gaming with clear love for it. The "what made [x] such a big deal?" , "What Killed [x]"?, and especially "The 10 best games of [year] we never forgot" are fantastically researched deep dives and lists. Tell your team there is much love for the effort put into all the videos, but definitely the deep dives!

    The animated adaptation(s) of The Dark Knight Returns (it's a two-parter) are a couple of my favourite movies ever. The animation, the music, the voice acting... each is a prime example of what adapting such a story to the animated medium can add to the experience, and the movies absolutely nail each, in my opinion. This might run contrary to the advice given in this video, but I highly recommend the movie(s) to anyone even only somewhat interested in the Batman character/series!

    Please do a fireside chat. I’m in love with idea of those vibes.
    My question: With all the attention super heroes have gotten over the last decade and a half (specifically movies), do you think there could be a resurgence of games like Prototype and Infamous, that come back into the scene? I personally would disintegrate (in a good way) if I saw another fresh IP with dope powers.

    Hi Jake, been following you since Pretty Much It, my question, are you an X-men fan? Who are your favorite Mutants? And finally, which ones do you thing would be great in a video game? Personally I’d love to play as Psylocke, with the game having the twist of you play as both Psylockes. Great to see your videos bud! 🍕

    Q&A How do you feel about VR gaming? Specifically, do you think there will come a point when the majority of videogames played will be in VR and if so when?
