Listener Questions

@Mcmahon_BearPig

Are you guys picking up Mario Golf? I was going to until I heard it only had 6 courses and was stripped of a lot of features from the previous games. Why do you think Nintendo is regressing so many of their games?

Connor Ewing

@Connoerewing

If a new Dead Space did happen, would you prefer it to be a sequel (either direct or just in the same universe as 1-3) or a complete reboot?

@Skywardsiren

Do you think PAX will reverse its stance on not requiring proof of vaccination for the event considering the backlash?
