Talking Point What Game Do You Wish You Could Forget?

(But in a good way)

Stop right there! We know what you're thinking. You're expecting a long list of games that we wish we had never played. The stinkers that took up 20 hours we'll never get back. Well, you're wrong! We are not about to be a negative Nancy and dunk on some bad games just because we wish we could wipe them from our minds. This is...

Talking Point What Game Do You Replay Every Year?

New year, old game

We did it everyone! 2022 is finally behind us and 2023 stretches happily into the great beyond. This is to be a year full of promise, a year of hope, a year of enough Nintendo releases (with any luck) to squeeze out an almost literal cry from our bank accounts.
