The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing says Riot Games isn't cooperating with their investigation and we are shocked. Shocked I tell you!

DA VINSTER (Vinny): I'm sure I've done this before, but What is a game that hasn't been remastered or remade that you would like to see come back?

Princess_Megan: What is one video game you wish you had finished, but got distracted by a new, shiny game and never went back to? What is it about this game that makes you regret not completing it?

Cpt Insano6:

What do you think has led to the rise in video game popularity; i.e. the rise of social media, etc? Or maybe a better way would be: why does it seem like video games have never been more popular and when do you think that trend started?

*monotone screaming*: If you played video games as a kid, what direction did you think the video game industry would go from where it was back then? Did you think games would progress as fast as they did?

Primefan: What would be the perfect video game to create for pc

JoeColeslaw: If you could have one hobby or activity MAGICALLY transformed into an RPG, what would it be? How would the battles play out? What would be your main quest? How would you level up?

I have always thought that Steve Gaynor seemed like a pretty cool guy based on interviews and podcasts. Turns out I was wrong.

DA VINSTER (Vinny): What was a game you were highly anticipating that came out and fell flat on its face for you? If it's cyberpunk, I want another one lol. Mine recently was the new Mario Golf. One of the modes in the campaign sucked so bad (or I did) and I couldn't progress further so I just dropped the game.

JoeColeslaw: So.... how is everyone doin today?

*monotone screaming*: What video game would you design, if the costs and time of making one weren’t an issue?

Rdeacon: Going to piggyback off @*monotone screaming* question... What game would you redesign? What game would you fix a fatal flaw in? (can be the same game)

Primefan: What is your dream car or truck?

Primefan: What would be the interior of your perfect gaming room?

You are probably not shocked to hear that the President of Blizzard suddenly decided to "spend more time with his family" today. But did you know that Activision hired a torture apologist?

DA VINSTER (Vinny): If you saw or paid attention to any of the Halo infinite multiplayer flight this weekend what do you think?  From what I saw, the game seems to be receiving overwhelming positive reviews over the weekend. Do you think it will come out this fall and be THE big heavy hitter next to Forza that people have been looking for from Xbox and what are your personal opinions. I know you all aren't the biggest of Halo or FPS fans but what are your thoughts coming out of this flight and are you personally interested or excited to try Halo Infinite this fall?

JoeColeslaw: So, you already have answered your favorite kind of cheese, (shout out to munster, smoked guda, and PepperJack) so let's get Video Games involved... over the years and decades throughout your gaming history, what video games have you played that you would call, Cheezy? Either the voice acting is REALLY hamming it up, or the animations are over the top, or the story goes JUST the way that the tropes foretold. Unlike at my new job at a factory... THE GLOVES ARE COMING OFF! Any console, any year.

Mazelnut: I never really ask questions but what do you think about the corrupt side of stardew valley. like how pierre is really the bad guy and not joja mart. or how mayor lewis is using the tax money from the town for personal use?

Primefan: What are your favorite game characters and why?

Rdeacon: I was poking at some old games recently and wondered why some are still so damn hard... looking at you Donkey Kong.  Why do you feel the games were hard?  Were they designed to be that way, for replayability, or when you have less you focus on the game play rather than graphics as they do in today's current games?

Princess_Megan: What are your top three favorite elements of video games?

Nintendo finally announced the long-awaited new version of the Switch, which features a new OLED screen but not much else.

Colby:  Subnautica: Below Zero, Dungeons & Dragons Dark Alliance, GTA3, Remnant From the Ashes, Pokemon Sword

Vinny: What has been your personal experience that has had the "No Man's Sky Effect"? A game that you either liked or didn't like at launch, but after a long period of time passed, you went back and were shocked and excited by how much they've added to the game. I recently hopped back into Sea of Thieves in a serious fashion and the game is so content rich now.

Primefan: What is your favorite dlc of all time

Rdeacon: How do you feel about games with extended Beta? Do you think its a let everyone else find our bugs for us, or a better way to achieve a better overall game by getting more feedback?

DA VINSTER (Vinny): Why do you think it's more difficult for multiplayer games to be critically acclaimed compared to single player games?

rdeacon: Is there any reason why you would play full price for a game?

rdeacon: If you drink coffee.. and use a creamer and sugar.. and had to pick only one which would it be, and inversely if you drink it black and had to use cream or sugar which one would you choose?

JoeColeslaw: So, last November I made the choice to purchase an Xbox One S. Then in June, made the jump to buy an Xbox SERIES S. I think my Ps4 is jealous or something. . . . So there are some games I had purchased on Playstation that I think, 'eh, why not?' And ALSO purchase on Xbox... as far as double dipping, I have bought Cod Black-ops... (not the cross gen bundle :rage:)  and House Flipper. Worth it... What are your games you had to buy for new console, despite already owning them elsewhere?
