Great episode, I love the stories the guests have on their individual games. I had no interest in these games going in, now I'm thinking maybe I will play 'This is the police'.
I don't like to say it but did anyone else notice the Hoag's audio not sounding great? Im hoping who ever edited it knows and it'll be different next time he's on.

Brad is so chill, it’s hard to imagine him not getting along with anyone

Wanted Hoag to call out Colin for not playing the Hazelight games but alas

The Golden Sun conversation was interesting, especially from the perspectives of people who have only played a portion of the first game.
To be honest, I share a lot of the sentiments that Hoeg and Micah expressed when talking about the game. I don't think it lives up to the reputation it has developed over time. However, I do think Golden Sun does something very interesting narratively.
It is well established that Golden Sun was intended to be a single game - The Lost Age is the second half of the game. It was split into two segments during its development. But, there's a narrative turning point between the first game and the second game that recontextualizes the events of the first game in a cool way. In other words, the first game has a plot tiwst that's fleshed out and resolved in the sequel, which was written/planned out as the second half of the game.
All of that to say, while it's fairly generic in many ways, Golden Sun does have some cool tricks up its sleeve.

My favorite mispronunciation from Brad is Biblical Jesus instead of Spanish Jesus.

Damn! Hoeg called Split Fiction possibly the best game he’s ever played.. High praise. The game deserves it, i can’t believe they let u invite friends to play the game for free, 3 games in a row now. Josef Fares gets better and better. It’s so fun to play a game where you don’t know what is next and this game is better than any at that.

Oh man, Micah, I remembered you saying you had House in Fata Morgana, but I didn’t know you hadn’t played it yet.
It’s one of the most soul-crushingly depressing things I’ve experienced lol.

Shout out to Hoeg. I enjoy when he's on...even if he did like Concord.

Had a Dreamcast that stopped working in the early 2000s, compUSA was still selling new dreamcasts so I bought one, put the broke one in the box and returned it for my money back..

Eldritch Horror mentioned. Hoeg is now my favorite member of LSM. My favorite board game of all time.

Hey Micah if you are going to play Skyward Sword next please give it a fair chance cause it’s a great game! Very underrated, and if you are playing on the switch you don’t need to use control movements at all.

Top 64 games without a single wrestling game is heartbreaking.
But what do I know. I haven’t played half the games they picked, so jokes on me.

I've disagreed with Hoeg on certain game opinions but I'm right there with him on Split Fiction. I love it. Probably my current GOTY. I can't say it's my best game ever, but I can say it's my favorite co-op game I've ever played. It took 3 sessions for me and my nephew to get through it. I'm anxious to jump back in and do a 2nd playthrough with the other character which alters the experience due to the different moveset. Play it if you can.

On the topic of visual novels I have a suggestion for Micah and Hoeg. Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo. It's not that long and it also has some actual game mechanics that make it a little more engaging than the average VN. If you like visual novels and horror it's great. The characters have powers somewhat similar to Stands from Jojo. Give it a try.

I loved that game. Wish they'd port it.

I love Hoeg's presence. I like his legal aspect, but I love his game-taking. Even though I don’t always agree with him, he has deep and pragmatic insights into games that I can respect. God of War Ragnarok was definitely mid LOL, I don’t understand the hate for Jeffy or Gene, either. I love it when they’re on the show. I feel like Jeffy is the only person that challenges Colin and gene is just a Gooner lol

I absolutely relied on that feature when my simple brain couldn’t come up with a good enough vehicle.
Also, just strapping a seat to a rocket and flailing around like a madman was such stupid fun.

Mostly unrelated, but commenting here in hopes that Hoeg checks them.
Pretty sure it was you who recommended Star Wars Outlaws. Just wanted to say, you are spot on. Such a great game!

Taking the servers down was a bummer. It made the game so easy to download the blueprints from the leaderboards.

One time, I thought it would be funny to give my cat hot water and see how she reacted. Much to my chagrin, it turns out she fucking LOVES hot water and will turn up her nose if it isn’t hot enough now.

Fellow Nuts & Bolts appreciator! I always say that I understand it’s not a great (Banjo-Kazooie) game, but if you can look past that, that game is awesome.

Oh man I've such great childhood memories of N64. Didn't come out here til 1997, got it that Christmas along with Mario Kart and Mario 64, that shit blew my mind coming from the SNES.
OoT was the first game I ever remember being actively hyped for coming up to release, reading magazine previews etc. Incredible experience
So many hours spent in GoldenEye multiplayer with friends and brothers.
Then there's Majoras Mask, Banjo, No Mercy, Perfect Dark, DKR etc. Good times man

I have not played Nuts & Bolts since the year it released, but I really loved that game so I approve of the shoutout here. It had problems for sure, but I think the actual vehicle creation was genuinely very fun
