Boy… as much as I love the insert credit podcast’s standard format and all of the panel and guests, I just can’t help but get this huge goofy grin on my face whenever I am welcomed back to videogames. Miigwech to Tim Rogers, one of the most singularly and uniquely weird and cool (in that order, despite being used here as synonyms) guys out there
I’m going to give myself exactly one hour to compile a for-fun, no-research, from-memory list of 36 games that I think Tim will pick before I watch this episode and see how wrong I am.

It is a pleasure to look at all of these Xbox 360 graphics. Did graphics really need to get “better” than this? More importantly, can they?
I am having some real the music you fell in love with as a 19-year-old will forever be the music you think is REAL/GOOD music reactions to these Xbox 360 graphics, is what I’m saying.
If playing a game for less than 10 hours doesn’t count as having played them (especially with regards to feature length JRPGs) than I have only played one of these games, had a blast listening to Tim talk anyway of course. I even had a 360, for a short time in my life when I guess I had no money for games nand/nor no time to play them!
I’ll repeat what I said on bisky, this list is so good it has singlehandedly convinced me that the 360 was a lot better than I remembered, and I already thought it was pretty great!
I spent a LOT of time during my 17’s and 18’s playing on the 360 so getting exposed to a couple of games I didn’t even know were a thing even though I used to browse the marketplace regularly, like Hydro Turbo and Zegapain is capital-N Neat.
Tim failed to follow the literary guideline known as Chekhov’s dog : if you mention potentially noisy dogs early in the production, the dogs must bark at some point by the end. I declare that I heard not a single bark, bork, yip, yap or woof at any point in the video.
This presents two possibilities - one is that the dogs were well behaved for once, in which case they are very good doggies and deserve praise. The other, is that my wife has been right all along and I desperately need to get my hearing checked. I await confirmation of either good dog status or negative auditory prognosis.
