7:36 PMBryan Gillis​Maybe 100 hours or so total

7:36 PMjordan thompson​12 seconds

7:36 PMSusanne Christ​I think I got 42 with around 500 hrs

7:36 PMBryan Gillis​Actually… that’s probably way high

7:37 PMBryan Gillis​Hmm… Maybe 12 in the charity stream. Outside of that probably not much. So maybe 20 total?

7:37 PMotritzu​75-ish in the last year. I think you played it in January.

7:40 PMSusanne Christ​Mario v capcom xD

7:40 PMaddictedtochaos​Would absolutely buy a Mario vs Capcom game

7:41 PMSusanne Christ​sorry 500 hr requirement for fanboy status

7:41 PMjordan thompson​you can have ryu vs mega man in smash and tekken x street fighter

7:41 PMBryan Gillis​What’s the next Nintendo game you’re excited for?

7:42 PMotritzu​One of the Tekken guys is an Assist Trophy.

7:43 PMjordan thompson​what would it take for you to go to ghostbusters afterlife in full ghostbusters costume

7:43 PMotritzu​I’ve played 1227 hours across 123 games. I’m pretty set as far as keeping my Nintendo Gamer Card.

7:43 PMBryan Gillis​Hmm, thinking about it, probably Andrew’s $50 total or less rule combined with Nintendo’s lack of discounts is a big reason for not playing too many Switch games

7:44 PMotritzu​Last half a decade, anyway.

7:44 PMjordan thompson​you should do a brand deal with mentos for bad breath of the wild 2

7:45 PMSusanne Christ​have u been plaaying dragon quest?

7:45 PMaddictedtochaos​Xenoblade X is pretty cheap at GameStop I think

7:46 PMotritzu​Link’s Awakening Switch was pretty good. Xenoblade X needs to be remastered.

7:47 PMSusanne Christ​it sucks ur library dosent have switch games

7:48 PMjordan thompson​is toys to life dead???

7:48 PMjordan thompson​amiibo seems to bearly be kicking

7:49 PMSusanne Christ​noooo lol literally libaray

7:49 PMotritzu​It’s less the graphics need updating and the menu systems needs an overhaul.

7:49 PMSusanne Christ​u know…the one with books

7:50 PMSusanne Christ​I have 4 liabries that have video games

7:52 PMjordan thompson​any intrest in Pokemon since its on the main console this time around

7:52 PMotritzu​I’ve got one pokemon I haven’t caught in the Dex in Shield.

7:52 PMBryan Gillis​XC2 is so slow to start that even in 30 hours you won’t have the full combat system unlocked… I enjoyed it, but Andrew, save your money on that one.

7:53 PMBryan Gillis​I used to defend Pokemon on the two games thing

7:54 PMBryan Gillis​But since they started splitting more than Pokemon available, it was obvious it was a cash grab. Not cool

7:55 PMBryan Gillis​I’d actually be cooler with it if the differences were more slight, thanks to trading being a big point of it

7:55 PMotritzu​A quarter of the way through, yes.

7:56 PMotritzu​You don’t get the flight package until you get to three quarters.

7:56 PMjordan thompson​if I’m not mistaken both have diffrent stories that are congruent to one another

7:57 PMSusanne Christ​happy weekend!

7:57 PMBryan Gillis​Trading is apparently horribly implemented in the latest game. If you want to trade with someone, you both pick one code (out of a thousand possible) and hope you connect with the right person

7:57 PMBryan Gillis​Thanks for the podcast, Andrew. Happy Christmas!
