  @themarcv Oh they're definitely based on the original concept. I think any good game story could be adapted without needing to heavily adjust it. Essentially what my brain does is takes a scene and turns it into TV. Adjustments obviously need to be made, but there never needs to be a change like Monster Hunter.

  Don't know if there are a good amount of people who are interested in books about the industry, but I posted this as a correction to last week's podcast and it didn't get mentioned. Thought I'd post it here in case people were interested! I just wanted to recommend "Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo and the Battle that Defined a Generation" by Blake J Harris. It's written in more of a dramatization fashion, from character perspectives rather than a historical memoir, but was based on real interviews, events, people and situations that happened during the 90s from the sides of both Sega and Nintendo. It primarily follows Tom Kalinske as he began as CEO of Sega of America and the struggles of the company battling with Nintendo being the juggernaut it grew into at the time, but pretty fairly looks at both sides and the struggles of marketing, multinational company cultural disagreements, courtroom battles and more. It's a pretty thick read, but I loved every bit of it and would recommend it to anyone hoping to learn more about the era and the people behind the decisions that were made then, as well as why certain events transpired. https://www.amazon.com/Console-Wars-Blake-J-Harris-audiobook/dp/B00K0M8TR4/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=console+wars&qid=1600551240&sr=8-1 The book is actually being made into a documentary from CBS All Access, and the trailer dropped just a few hours after I made the last comment. You can watch the trailer here: Youtube Video I still very highly recommend the book!

  I just think that they're some of the most fun people I have seen in the video games-related journalism/entertainment world. I could listen to any of them talk about something all day, each of em' have their own qualities that make them really fun to listen/watch to. Brandon's passion radiating through his suave speech manner, Huber's boundless hype adding extra impact to everything he says, Ben's thoughtful word choices, Ian's hyper attentive insights, and so on. I also think that their reaction contents are some of the best in the biz, especially the E3 ones since it almost always feature every single on of them, and boy oh boy it's so great to see them bounce their own hype (and other emotions) with each other. My first introduction to the crew is the the PSX 2016 reactions, and after watching that I am emotionally invested to these people.

  Its tough to nail down bands they like, and that link @bam541 shared gives you a good idea of what each likes. Ben definitely seems to list metal artists the most often, specifically Metallica, but I think he enjoys most genres. They talk about music sometimes on Frame Trap, here's an early one where he talks about Courtney Barnett. The only thing I think they all agree on is that they don't care much for country, modern pop country anyways. Also, they mostly all seem to care alot about and listen to video game soundtracks pretty often... which isn't too surprising I suppose. Don is the only one whose music taste I don't think I know anything about.

  @e_zed_eh_intern Competition isn't the only connection there-I'd ignore it if that was the case. But think of it-you're playing as an avatar that looks like all the other avatars-there's nothing special about any of the avatars, they all race to a finish line where a pile of them will be eliminated and then another round will shave off more competitors and the final round determines the soul survivor-kinda like a job interview process.

  @dipset Since games happen (in a normal year) on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursday, you normally don't have to do daily. Usually rosters lock right before games, so checking the morning of, making sure your players aren't injured, etc. is about it. Generally. Obviously, as with any fantasy sport, you can get as obsessive and granular as you want. But it's not generally much of an advantage.
