Last week, Sucker Punch put out a blog post saying that they (and no one else) were working on a Sly Cooper or Infamous. So on this week's Save Data Cast, we're talking about game franchises that have been dead for a while that we'd like to bring back to life! Does F-Zero or Star Fox deserve life? Should Metal Gear come back without Kojima? Is Zak allowed to have a Dark Cloud opinion without playing 1? How many space games does Elise want back? All of these questions and more get answered this week!

What franchises would you like to bring back? Let us know in the comments or on discord!

That's right, on this week's episode of the Save Data Cast, we're back with more video game mascot rankings, but this time with people! Which would you rather rob a bank with? Which character would take you on the best picnic? Which one is the BEST mascot?! Is the best human mascot better than the best non-human mascot??? It's March Mascot Madness in April IN MAY! Upsets abound as we go through 64 human video game characters, and continue ranking video game mascots. Like this type of content? Let us know in the comments or on discord!

On this week's episode of the Save Data Cast, we argue about which video game mascots are better! Which would make better Smash characters? Which would make the best friends? Which one is the BEST mascot?! It's March Mascot Madness in April! Upsets abound as we go through 64 non-human mascots to determine the mascot supreme. Like this type of content? Let us know in the comments or on discord! The next episode is highly likely to be another bracket of human mascots if y'all like this one.

KindaFunny's own Greg Miller joins us this week for the Save Data Cast! What better way to break the ice with someone than diving deep into how games have changed how we look at the world around us. We talk motivation, aspirations, AI, what it means to be human, family, and mental health and how each of those relate to what we've played. Also losing shirts? This episode was an absolute blast to record, and we hope you all feel the same about listening!

This week on the Save Data Cast, we're talking PlayStation's rumored XBox Gamepass competitor, Project Spartacus!

Will it rise to be a competitor to Gamepass? Does it need to be? What games will be on Spartacus? We discuss all of these points as well as covering our current impressions of Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, and Destiny 2: The Witch Queen!
