How to play:

I'm going to list off 4-5 games.

You're going to guess how much the games are worth in total, dollars and cents.

Whoever is closest to guessing the actual price of the lot, wins that lot.

Everyone has a list, and everyone guesses.The "ghost" always guesses $300, and if he wins I give away a sticker!

The person with the most number of lots won, wins the episode!

• Personal Experiences

Fun Facts:

• The influence was drawn from late 1990s Japanese popular culture such as the rhythm game PaRappa the Rapper, and the anti-establishment themes in the film Fight Club.
• The team that made the Panzer Dragoon games.
• The development team consisted of fewer than 25 developers, with an average age of under 25.
• The game features graffiti by a variety of artists, including Eric Haze, who had designed album art for acts including the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy.
• They attempted to make the game impossible to duplicate on PlayStation 2 by pushing the Dreamcast limitations using bright colors, realistic shadows, and more than sixteen NPCs on-screen without lag that would have been impossible on PS2 due to its smaller memory.
• In North America, it was released on October 31 as Jet Grind Radio due to trademark problems for "Jet Set" in the United States at the time.

Questions

BintendoMan

Question: I saw @Dan - RetroLogic mention his wife isn't into gaming, with gaming seemingly a big part of your life how's that work? Do you ever feel judged for it? Does she try? If this isn't something you want to talk about on the pod I understand. Just curious the dynamic. And for the others on the pod how do their significant others do with their gaming hobby?

Realistically, how long do ya'll think Physical games will be made.

Outside of Limited run and boutique stuff.
