News Stories: The Decline of Physical Media-Reacting to Reserved Investment’s discussion. Main argument: With the decline of brick and mortar shopping experiences, the desire to collect is dying out in younger generations. The “wall of games” phenomenon is actually an after-effect of seeing rows of games at Toys R’ US and Software Etc. and trying to recreate that at home, as adults. Without these emotional experiences, there is no nostalgia, and games have no historical value, like antiques do. Therefore, it is a danger for the game collector’s market.

What are the best games with numbers in their titles? Will and Jay have taken it upon themselves to start from 0 and work their way to 100 on a quest to rank the best games that feature a number in some way. We'll take into account game titles in other languages or numbers that are spelled out, but we'll ignore series entries that aren't explicitly numbered. In this episode, we take on the most ambitious number in gaming: 2! Ranking games with 2 in the title essentially means ranking every sequel of any significance in the history of gaming. Are we up to the task? Find out!
