 7:12 PMeathdemonit started with jeff gersman from giantbomb as a joke, than the “games journalists ” started writing about it

 7:13 PM13Ucubedid they put a resistant flavor on the limiting pre-order? That’s left a bad taste in my mouth for YEARS

 7:14 PMLakster37i’m just playing zelda at home

 7:15 PMjordan thompsonit’s the new test your limit licking switch chips like when I was a kid we licked 9 volt battery springs

 7:15 PM【STASH】Shadei am home alone watching this getting ready to watch the UFC

 7:15 PMTatyana Laneew

 7:16 PMZOMB13SLAY0RZamazon delayed my switch but they delivered my zelda collectors edition.

 7:16 PMEddie SantanaArlo unboxing are cool lol

 7:16 PMZOMB13SLAY0RZso I’m here without a switch:(

 7:17 PMNick Bradleynothing has fixed my joycon problem so far i have to be pretty close to the switch for it to connect 🙁

 7:17 PMeathdemonwtf…….

 7:17 PMCyberjincome on Nintendo

 7:18 PM【STASH】Shadewell gtg, i have to watch the UFC

 7:18 PM【STASH】Shadeits lit

 7:18 PMZOMB13SLAY0RZI ordered my switch 9am my friend ordered a day after yet he received his and I didn’t receive mine. what the heck is that about?

 7:18 PM13Ucubeso apparently, you can only use the joy cons in a skiff

 7:19 PMCyberjinisn’t it just the left one that doesn’t work

 7:19 PMEddie Santanano problem here with the joy con

 7:19 PMjordan thompsonso how is it possible to use on a plane all that kind of stuff is on a plane

 7:20 PMeathdemonit seems to be a joycon thing only, no issue with pro controler

 7:20 PMGeorgey KnucklesWhich switch color will you be getting, black or neon?

 7:20 PM13UcubeI’m having serious issues with my horse.

 7:22 PMeathdemonthey should stop marketing the switch as a home console, and just call it a portable aready

 7:24 PMjordan thompsoncan’t wait for the Switch U , XBOX and the PS5, how hard is it to come up with names REALLY I mean REALLY

 7:24 PM13UcubeDo you think they will scale down Wii U like wii mini and release one?

 7:24 PMEddie Santanai love the feel of the system

 7:26 PMchingringIm just here to see if this week gets all political like last week

 7:26 PMZOMB13SLAY0RZWhat’s your opinion on the price of the games and the pro cintroller

 7:27 PMZOMB13SLAY0RZcontroller*

 7:28 PMjordan thompsoncan we ask bucket list questions?

 7:29 PMeathdemonall the switch stuff is 20% more than it should be

 7:29 PMNick Bradley1 2 switch is overpriced….

 7:30 PMjordan thompsonam I wrong to think 1 2 switch should have been the pack in

 7:30 PMZOMB13SLAY0RZhave you heard about the screen getting scratched when people are docking them. I think a screen protector is a must buy I saw alot of pictures on reddit etc.

 7:30 PMeathdemonremove hd rumble, motion controls, ir stuff and it could easly sell for 250

 7:32 PMEddie SantanaZOMB13SLAY0RZ be careful with the dock

 7:32 PM13UcubeZach, have you played a lot of wii u somewhere? how many hours of wii u have you played?

 7:33 PMjordan thompsonI feel Nintendo is never gonna beat Wii sports as a pack in, the only other thing that was equal to it was Tetris packed in with the gameboy

 7:35 PMkhangardso when do you think youll break down and buy a switch?

 7:35 PM13Ucubei want screen protectors on everything

 7:37 PMZOMB13SLAY0RZso when are you both going to purchase a switch?

 7:37 PMeathdemonthe money I was gunna spend on the switch, I spent on my 144hz monitor, so I think I got the better deal

 7:37 PMjordan thompsonokay this may be far fetched but can we talk about the gameboy micro at some point

 7:38 PM13UcubeGames still make systems

 7:38 PMCecil475Hi guys!

 7:40 PMI Love Woodchucks SocietyWhat is one game you both want to come out for the switch in the future?

 7:40 PMScottyJayManAnd now I’m back home with the podcast on the PS4 playing Zelda. And wow, the guacamole went great with the cart! Thanks Andrew!

 7:40 PMCyberjinwill you guys play persona 5?

 7:40 PMEddie Santanaeverything on xboxone is on PC lol

 7:40 PM13Ucubei was considering buying a retron 7 but i keep hearing so many mixed reviews

 7:42 PMjordan thompsonhey woodchucks is back in the molehill any other woodlen critters want to show, had no idea the the forest got such great reception

 7:42 PMeathdemongiven the zelda poformance stuff, its clear almost very 3rd party game cant run on the switch, downgrade or not.

 7:43 PMCecil475I’m on the bus a lot so, I like my 3DS.

 7:43 PMCecil475Though I use it as an alarm clock alot.

 7:44 PM13UcubeI only play portable games WHILE i’m driving

 7:44 PMjordan thompsonare you gonna do an update on the Wii u off TV play skit but added with the switch

 7:45 PMeathdemonmetriod is dead team ninja took her out back and put her down.

 7:46 PMeathdemonplatnuim is releasing a game very soon

 7:46 PMNick Bradleyretro has been silent for like 2 years, surely they have something good in the works

 7:46 PMeathdemonjust not on switch

 7:46 PMjordan thompsonMUSHROOM KINGDOM WARRIORS

 7:46 PMeathdemonget horizon zero dawn, its mh

 7:47 PMIEienIEw since when was graphics fun.

 7:47 PMScottyJayManConsole sales are dropping in Japan, so I would bet Monster Hunter would be on the Switch

 7:50 PMKingVasukiHi, Andrew and Zachary! First time live. Are you looking forward to something from Monolith Soft?

 7:50 PMjordan thompsonthey had some obscure characters in Hyrule warriors so for mushroom kingdom warriors they could use the toad king guy from Mario 2, Pauline ECT. ECT. plus tons of cool costumes

 7:50 PMTrilinkdamn, caught this too late. wish I lived in America 🙁

 7:51 PMIEienIHorizon is nothing like Monster Hunter.

 7:51 PMEddie Santanaany Prediction for Nintendo E3 ?

 7:51 PMkhangardThink Konami will produce more games for switch if bomberman r succeeds?

 7:51 PMIEienIHorizon does have the gameplay nuance that MH has.

 7:52 PMIEienIsorry I ment Horizon does not have.

 7:52 PMIEienIThat sucks

 7:53 PMjordan thompsonI did have a quick bucket list questions, have either of you two been scared shitless and what’s the story

 7:53 PMeathdemonthey are afraid of people finding a expoit

 7:53 PMEddie SantanaCloud services for saving ?

 7:53 PMeathdemonexploit

 7:53 PMRail Fanningfinally caught you live

 7:53 PMeathdemonfrom nintendo, hell would have to freeze over

 7:54 PMTrilinkas cool as the switch is, do you guys think that the switch may have been released a tad early? it seems the switch would of benefitted from a summer launch as opposed to a spring one.

 7:54 PMIEienISave files don’t touch a gig

 7:54 PMTrilink*if you guys have not already talked about it

 7:55 PMeathdemon@Trilink yes, but if they waited till fall the scopio would crush it.

 7:56 PMmonkeyboiAndrew do you mind if I ask, what do you do as a job?

 7:57 PMTrilink@eathdemon not fall summer when features like online are ready and you can add friend via usernames

 7:58 PMIEienIThe switch had to be released they would be lying to investors twice

 7:58 PMjordan thompsonif it’s not a bother I had a bucket list question, have either of you been scared shitless and what’s the story

 7:59 PMTrilinkyeah I was thinking more along side the other bits and bobs like online, virtual console, joy con issues etc. I am fully on board with the staggered release as opposed to a shotgun launch

 7:59 PMNick BradleyWhat kind of game are you making??

 8:00 PMIEienIThey are pretty thirsty for mobile.

 8:01 PMLakster37zelda style game? that means you can pick up botw and write it off as “research”

 8:01 PMTrilinkAmiibos were making money for Nintendo weren’t they. I mean they sold more than the Wii U, although that can be contributed to the low cost of entry for such cool figures (as opposed to dlc keys)

 8:02 PMIEienIlol

 8:02 PMkj111When will your game be out?

 8:03 PMTrilinka quick questions for Zachary would you ever have Andrews voice in a future game? maybe as a cool dry protagonist?

 8:05 PMEddie Santanalol

 8:05 PMjordan thompsonI write for a living and could release my new book this month but my long distance GF’s birthday is also this month so I’m going to Texas instead.

 8:06 PMTrilinkchallenger approaching?

 8:07 PMTrilink​[message retracted]

 8:07 PMjordan thompsonmy excuse was more money can always be made and more work can always be done I only get to spoil you very few times

 8:07 PMTrilinkZachary’s Son joins the podcast!

 8:10 PMjordan thompson“I don’t like to spend money” or do you really mean “I don’t want Andrew to have my money”

 8:13 PMeathdemonyes it is

 8:13 PMeathdemonthe fact we havent heard anything about the strike means it isnt going well.
